Explanation of function and operation
1. END instruction (program end, I/O refresh and return to step 0)
PLCs repeat "input processing → program execution → output processing". When END instruction is written at the
end of a program, PLCs immediately execute the output processing without executing steps after END instruction.
If END instruction is not written at the end of a program, PLCs execute the program until the final step, and then
execute the output processing.
At the first execution after the PLC mode was changed from STOP to RUN, PLCs start from END instruction. When
END instruction is executed, the watchdog timer (which checks the operation cycle) is refreshed.
Caution
Do not write END instruction in the middle of a program.
When a program is transferred from a programming tool, all steps after END instruction are replaced with NOP (no
operation) instructions.
