End)
● When a process starts and the first scan is in progress, the step initial pulse relay (SR15)
turns ON. It turns OFF for the second and subsequent scans. This relay can be used to reset
counters and shift registers.

Precautions for clearing a process
● When the Next Step instruction is executed within the program of a running process, the
running process will be cleared automatically. The clearing will be done during the next scan.
Therefore, two processes may be running simultaneously for a single scan when transiting
between them. If there are two outputs which must not be ON at the same time, be sure to
provide an interlock to prevent them from tuning ON simultaneously. If these outputs can turn
ON simultaneously even when an interlock is provided by the program due to a delay in
hardware response, take a counteraction on hardware to consider the delay.
● When a process is cleared, the instructions used in the process will operate as shown in the
following table.
