Entering Branches (Logical OR)

Change the processor back to program mode:

Click on the arrow to the right of "REMOTE RUN" box
Click on Program
Click on Yes

Either insert a new rung, or start rungs edits on an existing rung, placing the cursor on the instruction that will parallel the new branch. To start the branch:

Place the cursor on the contact that will parallel the new branch.
Click on the branch icon (looks like a “branch”) above the ladder window or right click the mouse and select Insert New Branch
A branch will appear to the right of the cursor with a blue box surrounding the right side of the branch
Place the mouse cursor on the blue box and hold down the mouse button as you drag the branch to the desired location of this side of the branch, usually on the other side of an instruction. The blue oval on the rung that changes to green indicates the location of this branch leg. Release the mouse button and the program will place the branch.

Instructions are entered on branches just as if they were a separate rung.

To make a series of parallel branches that have parallel sides (instead of nesting, which looks like an inverted tree), the branch is extended down.

Place the cursor on the lower left corner of the branch.
Right click the mouse
Select Extend Branch Down
A branch will appear below the existing branch and parallel with the existing branch.
