3.2. Edit Branch
This describes how to insert and edit the Branch on the Rung. Try following as described below.
(1) Let’s start from the condition shown in [Figure 3.9].
Figure 3.9 Start Condition of Brand Edit Example
In order to edit the Branch easily, turn on the Branch interval option as shown in [Figure 3.10]. As shown in [Figure 3.10], select the Branch from the Instruction Tool Bar. The Branch will be added to the Rung as shown in [Figure 3.11].

(2) Try moving “Y1(OTE)” to the inner side of the Branch. There are two ways to do so. You can drag and drop “Y1” or you can drag one end of the Branch between “X1” and “Y1”. Let’s try the first method. When you drag “Y1” by left clicking, yellow rectangles will be displayed on the locations where “Y1” can be dropped. When you put the cursor on the location you want to drop, the rectangle will turn red as shown in [Figure 3.12]. In this condition, release the left button of your mouse.

(3) As shown in [Figure 3.13], “Y1” has been moved to the inner side of the Branch.

2nd method is similar to the 1st method. You need to drag and drop the left end of the Branch to the location you want.
(4) Method of inserting the instruction on the Branch is the same method as inserting to the Rung. As shown in [Figure 3.14], set the selection box on the location you want and click on the instruction you want to insert at the right of the selection box.
