FA-92086 / PLC ladder logic scan cycles / Open access

Sequencer wraps before reaching its last step · case 01

The final element of the sequencer file is never output.

ROOT CAUSE

The wrap test uses position >= last index.

THE FAILURE

The wrap test uses position >= last index.

Unsuccessful approach: Special-casing a two-element file still skips the last step of longer files.

Case contract

Sequencer output (SQO). words is the sequencer file whose element 0 is the home step; position starts at 0. On each rising edge of enable the position advances; past the last element it wraps to 1 (not 0). Each advance writes dest = (dest AND NOT mask) OR (word AND mask) in 16 bits. A reset input returns position to 0 without writing dest and has priority over a coincident advance; the enable edge memory is always updated. steps is a list of [enable, reset]; return [position, dest] per scan.

Why this case matters

Ladder programs are executed as repeated scans; each defect here changes what a rung, timer, counter or data-table instruction reports on a particular scan, which is how commissioning and field faults are actually observed.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 8 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.

Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.

Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

Verification & scope

A deterministic bounded teaching model of one PLC instruction or rung pattern evaluated scan by scan. The stated contract is a stipulated toy convention, not a claim of conformance to any vendor controller or IEC 61131-3 runtime. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:51:42.375214+00:00.
