mode remains in control. Thus, you can execute consecutive procedures
from the ladder diagram program.
Now if you press [ENTER] or [RETURN] after initialization or after a
message procedure has been executed, the S4B> prompt displays at the
RS-232-C device. This prompt indicates that the command mode is in
