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.

This illustration 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.
Branch Start/End
Purpose: A Branch Start instruction begins each parallel logic branch of a rung.
It allows more than one combination of input conditions to energize an
output device.
A Branch End instruction completes a set of parallel branches.
Keystrokes: You enter a Branch Start or Branch End instruction by performing
the following steps
1.
Press either [
] or [
].
Important: You must begin each rung of parallel conditions with a Branch
Start instruction.
