Setting the Maximum Number of Steps to Be Used
The maximum number of steps to be used refers to the number of steps to be used in a single program. Segment
Program 3 stores in step data blocks the data to be used in the program. The number of step data blocks required
depends on the number of steps to be used.
• Up to 25 steps of data can be stored per step data block. When a maximum of 100 steps is used, the number of
step data blocks used is 4.
For example, when 70 steps are used, the maximum number of steps is taken to be 70, and 3 step data blocks
are automatically registered.
• The steps that can be used can be edited on the Edit Window. Any steps beyond the maximum number of steps
cannot be edited.
Changing the Maximum Number of Steps to Be Used
The maximum number of steps to be used can normally be changed. The following dialog box will be displayed if
the maximum number of steps to be used is changed and there is a change in the registration status of the step
data blocks.
If this dialog box is displayed, use any of the following methods to resend a Segment Program 3 block to the Loop
Controller.
• Transfer the entire project.
Select an LCU/LCB element (LCB) from the project tree. Then right-click and select Transfer to LC from the
pop-up menu, or select Execution - Transfer to LC – Selected from the Main Menu.

Automatic Registration of Step Data Blocks
Step data blocks are automatically registered according to the following rules, depending on the number of steps
to be used.
• Step data blocks are registered in the function block group in which Segment Program 3 (Block Model 158) is
registered.
• Step data blocks are registered in descending order from the highest available function block address.
