📖 Quick Reference

Concepts

Step: A state your machine can be in
Hold: Wait condition — checked every 1ms scan
Transition: Where to go when the hold is met
Interlock: Global safety check — runs every scan, jumps to a target step if tripped

Execution Order

Entry actions (once)
HALT (yield to control loop)
Check interlocks (if tripped → jump)
Check hold condition (if not met → back to 2)
Exit actions (once)
Transition to next step

Tips

NC wiring: use state = OFF for safety inputs (e-stop, overload)
active_from: skip interlocks during Standby or Fault steps
Variables are 32-bit signed integers, up to 64 slots (indexed 0–63)
Timers count down in ms; hold checks for zero
AND/OR: combine conditions for multi-sensor interlocks
