1 1 Current Event Step +

Note: If the next Event Step would be greater than 255, then the event step will wrap around to
step 0. For example, if the current event step is 254 and inputs 17 and 16 are 1 and 0
respectively, then "Current Event Step + 3" would be 257, but this instead wraps around to event
step 1. This situation is confusing and should be avoided when designing your event step
sequences.

When the RMC reaches step 20, it looks at the Jump (J) link type and checks inputs 16 and 17 (or
CPU inputs 0 and 1 if no DI/O modules are present). If input 17 is off and input 16 is on, it will jump to
step 22. If input 16 and 17 are both off, then it will jump to step 21.
Why Bother?
This is a way to select and execute different programs or recipes within the RMC.
Using with the Link Type and Link Value Dialog Box
