Insert Contact Parallel Below

Overview

Shortcut: CTRL + R

The FBD/LD/IL > Insert Contact Parallel Below command inserts a contact parallel to the marked position in the network. The same is valid as for command Insert Contact Parallel Above, except that the new contact will be inserted below the selected position.

You can program closed parallel branches in an LD network as short circuit evaluation (SCE) or OR constructs. SCE branches are displayed with double vertical lines, OR branches are displayed with single vertical lines. Also refer to the description of the Parallel Branch.
