<div class="markdown_content"><p><em>Originally created by:</em> mr_sargent</p> <p>I am new to SFC and I think I am having a problem. At any point in the SFC flow I would like to give a command to move to a certain step (a re-home step). As you can see in the attached picture I am setting an IEC action to look for this command. When the command is given it does jump to the step I intend. The only problem is it appears I have 2 steps active. (1.) the step that I wanted to jump to from the action, and (2) the step I was on before the command was given. Is this a problem? If so, are there any suggestions to fix this problem?</p> <p>Also, I have a couple of actions that are set in the beginning of the program (with IEC step) and never reset. The reason I am doing this is because I need to monitor I/O and variables? Is this a correct way of doing this? Is appears to be working just fine but wanted to know if these is bad programming practice.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p><img alt="IMG: sfc question.jpg" rel="nofollow" src="https://forum.codesys.com//download/file.php?id=474"/></p></div>
