Notice

Notice for MapleLogic MULTIPLE/BRANCH instruction.

General Connection Behavior

The branching connections behave as follows:

  • Multiple branch connections are used to connect output coils to the left-hand side of a contact.
    • Without multiple branch connections, connections can only be made to the right-hand side of the last contact.
  • For every MPS connection, there must be a corresponding MPP connection.
  • The last contact or coil circuit must be connected by a MPP connection.

Multiple Point Store Behavior

The MPS branch connection behaves as follows:

  • MPS is NOT displayed in the ladder diagram.
  • MPS stores the preceding operation result (ON or OFF) preceding the MPS.
  • The connection performs the operation with the resulting value in the next step.
  • MPS can be used successively up to 16 connection.
  • MPS is used to start branching in a ladder.
    • MPS stores the connection point of the ladder circuit so that further coil branches can recall the value later.

Example

MPS Example 1

The MPS multiple branch connection stores the operation result.

The MPS multiple branch connection must be followed by a MPP multiple branch connection.

MPS Example 2

The MPS multiple branch connection must be followed by a MPP multiple branch connection.
