The rung below uses parallel logic:

C1

False

C2

True

A

Here two conditions are parallel. As long as one of the conditions (C1 or C2) is
true, a continuous path to the action exists. Therefore, the action is performed.

C1

False

C3

True

A

C2

True

C4

True

Figure 5.2 shows a program rung with branching, as it would appear by the
1770-T3 terminal display. You create a branch by using two different branch
instructions. These are the branch start and branch end instructions.

Nested Branching

The rung below shows a nested branch.

Creating nested branches is not possible because the branch end instruction
completes a branch group. But the above rung shows a single branch group
with two branch end instructions. Above, the examine-on instruction with the
address 11011 is actually a branch group within a branch group.
