English translation:block
Explanation:
Could be a typo for "bloquean" which would fit well with what follows: when being performed, each cycle blocks or prevents work on the next cycle, so that it is only possible to work in the correct sequence.

  -> Gracias Krassi
neutral  Peter Clews: Mi primer pensamiento fué que cloquear vien de clock, pero depende de si el sistema de control es electrónico (digital). Si se trata de un aparato mecánico, "clocked" no tendría mucho sentido. ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Davis: I was wondering whether to suggest this myself. My hunch is you're right. It makes good sense, and just about all the relevant examples of "cloquear" that I can find are misprints for "bloquear" (B and C are quite close on the keyboard).
6 mins
  -> Thanks, Charles!
agree  philgoddard: Or maybe something like "are mutually exclusive"
4 hrs
  -> Yes, I think that is what is meant. Thanks, Phil!
neutral  Peter Clews: This could be right if the equipment is mechanically controlled. If it's electronic control, I would go for a Spanish form of "clocked", as suggested by Benjamin. Happy New Year, everybody!

hooked to run in parallel


Explanation:
I felt curious about why they used the term “cloquear” which is not very much used in Spanish (at least in LA Spanish) so I made some research and this is what I found:

Cloquear (2)
1. tr. Enganchar el atún con el cloque en las almadrabas, para sacarlo a tierra.

cloque.
2. m. Garfio enastado que sirve para enganchar los atunes en las almadrabas.
(rae.es)

La almadraba es un arte para la pesca del atún, la más simple de las cuales consiste en situar dos barcos a cierta distancia entre los que se cala una red somera sujetada con un palangre en la que se recogen los peces, atunes y otros que puedan llegar (wikipedia)


It seems to refer to two given elements that are hooked to each other to run in parallel to perform some task.

disagree  philgoddard: This is the opposite of what the Spanish says - they don't run in parallel.
