Outline
NOP instruction specifies no operation.
When a program is erased completely, all steps are replaced with NOP instructions.
When NOP instruction is located between general instructions, PLCs ignore NOP instruction.
If NOP instructions are put in the middle of a program, fluctuation of step numbers is minimized when the program is
changed or added. But excessive program steps are required.
Note that circuits are considerably changed if already written instructions are replaced with NOP instructions.

Explanation of function and operation
1. NOP instruction (no operation or null step)
NOP instruction specifies no operation.
If NOP operation is written in the middle of a program, PLCs ignore it in executing the program.
When an existing program is replaced with NOP instructions, it means that former instructions are deleted.
