OR (first) & AND (second)
In Figure 8-12 the first and second statements are linked in Parallel and the third
statement is linked in Series with the first and second statements. Remember, a
Link operator links that statement with all previous statements, not just the
statement before it.
[ ] [ ] [FIRE] [3-01]
[OR] [ ] [FIRE] [3-02]
[AND] [ ] [FIRE] [3-03]
Figure 8-12
In Figure 8-12, IF the condition of 3-01 is Fire OR the condition of 3-02 is Fire,
AND the condition of 3-03 is Fire, then the INPUT SIDE is true. Another way
to look at this equation is shown in Figure 8-13. In order to cross from the
INPUT SIDE of the equation to the OUTPUT SIDE, the first or second
statements and the third statement must be true.
