Outline
A circuit in which two or more contacts are connected in series is called serial circuit block.

2. Applicable devices
Explanation of function and operation
1. ORB instruction (parallel connection of multiple contact circuits)
When connecting serial circuit blocks in parallel, use LD or LDI instruction at the start of branch, and use ORB
instruction at the end of branch.
ORB instruction is an independent instruction not associated with any device number in the same way as ANB
instruction described later.
When there are many parallel circuits, ORB instruction can be used for each circuit block to connect them.
Caution
There is no limitation in the number of parallel circuits which can be connected by ORB instructions (in the case of
appropriate program shown above).
Though ORB instructions can be used at one time, note that the repeated use of LD or LDI instruction is limited to 8 or
less (in the case of inappropriate program shown above).
