Command: Init Step

Symbol: _cds_icon_sfc_init_step.png

Function: The command converts the selected step into an initial step.

Call: SFC menu

When you execute the command, the border of the step element changes to a double line. The previous initial step is automatically displayed as a "normal" step with a single-line border.

You can also enable and disable the Init step property in the properties dialog of a step element. However, CODESYS does not automatically adjust the settings of the other steps.

The command is useful if you want to convert a chart. When you create a new SFC object, it automatically includes an initial step followed by a transition (TRUE) and a jump back to the initial step.

Tip

Note: In online mode, it is possible to use the SFCInit and SFCReset SFC flags to reset the chart to the initial step.
