Properties of Jumps

Jumps have the following properties:

  • More than one jump may have the same target step.

  • In accordance with IEC 61131-3, jumps into a parallel sequence or out of a parallel sequence are not possible.

    If it should also be used again then it must be enabled explicitly.

  • With jumps, there is a difference between a Sequence Jump and a Sequence Loop.

  • The jump target is indicated by the jump target symbol (>).

Jump Name

Jumps do not actually have their own names. Instead, the name of the target step (jump target) is shown inside of the jump symbol.
