Handling of general flags

In some types of applied instructions, the following flags operate:
Examples:
These flags turn ON or OFF every time various instructions turn ON, but do not change when various instructions turn
OFF not driven or when errors have occurred.
Because these flags turn ON or OFF in many instructions, the ON/OFF status of flags change every time such
instructions are executed.
Program flag contacts directly under each instruction while referring to the examples below.
1. Program containing many flags (example of instruction execution complete flag M8029)
When two or more instruction execution complete flags M8029 are programmed together for applied instructions, it is
difficult to determine which instruction executes which flag.
For using flags in any positions other than directly under applied instructions, refer to the next page.
