The branch instructions allow more than one combination of input
conditions to energize an output device (Figure 4.11).

These are two branch instructions:

Branch Start
Branch End

Two Possible Paths for

Logic Continuity (ORĆLogic)

Branch Start

This instruction begins each parallel logic branch of a rung. The Branch
Start is programmed immediately before the first instruction of each
parallel logic path.

Branch End

This instruction completes a set of parallel branches. The Branch End is
entered after the last instruction of the last branch to end a set of parallel
branches.

Branch instructions must be entered in the correct order for proper logic
function. The only limitation is that a nested branch (a branch within a
branch) cannot be programmed directly (Figure 4.12).
