Are you talking relay lader logic or plc? In either case it is not hard to understand. You have a series of conditions that have to be met for the output to energize. That output may or may not be used as a condition in another rung. It is not hard to follow. I used to have some old AB books that came with PLC way back when. I'll look around the place and see if they're still around, if they are I will send them to you.
