Composition of branches/recombination and dummy state
1. When a recombination line is directly connected to a branch line without a state relay
When a recombination line is directly connected to a branch line without a state relay as shown below, it is
recommended to provide a dummy state relay between the lines.
There are no dedicated numbers for dummy state relays.
Use a state relay number not used in a program as a dummy state relay.
