Command Init step

Symbol: Command Init step 1:

Function: The command converts the currently selected step to an init step.

Call: Menu SFC, context menu

Executing the command changes the frame of the step element to a double line. The step, which previously was the init step, automatically becomes a 'normal' step and is represented with single frame.

The property Init step can also be enabled or disabled in the Properties view of a step element, although in this case TwinCAT does not automatically adjust the settings of the other steps.

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

Command Init step 2:

Note the option to reset the chart to the init step by using the SFC flags SFCInit and SFCReset in online mode.
