Basic Ladder Diagrams Section 4-3
Combining AND LOAD
and OR LOAD
Both of the coding methods described above can also be used when using
AND LOAD and OR LOAD, as long as the number of blocks being combined
does not exceed eight.
The following diagram contains only two logic blocks as shown. It is not nec-
essary to further separate block b components, because it can coded directly
using only AND and OR.
Although the following diagram is similar to the one above, block b in the dia-
gram below cannot be coded without separating it into two blocks combined
with OR LOAD. In this example, the three blocks have been coded first and
then OR LOAD has been used to combine the last two blocks followed by
AND LOAD to combine the execution condition produced by the OR LOAD
with the execution condition of block a.
