Use the same logic for multiple transitions.

Use a BOOL expression

The simplest way to program the transition is to enter the conditions as a BOOL

expression in structured text. A BOOL expression uses BOOL tags, relational

operators, and logical operators to compare values or check if conditions are

TRUE or FALSE. For example,

tag1>65

.

Call a subroutine in a transition

To use a subroutine to control a transition, include an End Of Transition (EOT)

instruction in the subroutine. The EOT instruction returns the state of the
conditions to the transition, as shown below.
