Work bits can be used to simplify programming when a certain combination of
conditions is repeatedly used in combination with other conditions. In the follow-
ing example, IR 00000, IR 00001, IR 00002, and IR 00003 are combined in a
logic block that stores the resulting execution condition as the status of IR
24600. IR 24600 is then combined with various other conditions to determine
output conditions for IR 00100, IR 00101, and IR 00102, i.e., to turn the outputs
allocated to these bits ON or OFF.

Differentiated Conditions Work bits can also be used if differential treatment is necessary for some, but not
all, of the conditions required for execution of an instruction. In this example, IR
00100 must be left ON continuously as long as IR 00001 is ON and both IR
00002 and IR 00003 are OFF, or as long as IR 00004 is ON and IR 00005 is OFF.
It must be turned ON for only one cycle each time IR 00000 turns ON (unless one
of the preceding conditions is keeping it ON continuously).
