Parallel branch

Two or more branches in SFC can be defined as parallel branches. Each parallel branch must begin and end with a step. Parallel branches can contain alternative branches or other parallel branches. A parallel branch begins with a double line (parallel beginning) and ends with a double line (parallel end) or with a jump. It can be provided with a jump label.

If the parallel beginning line of the previous step is active and the ‘Project’ ‘Passwords for user groups’ condition after this step has the value TRUE, then the first steps of all parallel branches become active (see Active step). These branches are now processed parallel to one another. The step after the parallel end line becomes active when all previous steps are active and the transition condition before this step produces the value TRUE.
