The OR Link operator links the current statement in Parallel with all previous
statements in an equation (see Figure 3-16).

Figure 3-16. An OR Link and a NOT Operator
In Figure 3-17, if the condition of 03-01 is Fire OR the condition of 03-02 is
NOT Fire then the INPUT SIDE is true. In order to cross from the INPUT SIDE
of the equation to the OUTPUT SIDE, the first or the second statement must be
true.
Note: The NOT gate is shown as a normally closed contact. This
statement is true because there is a path from the Input to the
Output.
