Basic points to remember:
- Use the OR and ORI instructions for parallel connection of contacts. To connect a block
that contains more than one contact connected in series to another circuit block in
parallel, use an ORB instruction.
- Connect one side of the OR/ORI instruction to the left hand bus bar.

Peripheral limitations:
• The PLC has no limit to the number of contacts connected in series or in parallel.
However, some pro
g
rammin
g
panels, screens and printers will not be able to displa
y
or print the pro
g
ram if it exceeds the limit of the hardware. It is preferable for each
line or run
g
of ladder pro
g
ram to contain up to a maximum of 10 contacts and 1 coil.
Also keep number of follow-on outputs to a maximum of 24.
