output

 

This object represents a generic output device. This device can be associated to a physical output of the PLC or linked to other inputs in the schematic. The physical or logical property is opportunately configurable selecting a physical resource or not on the associated dialog. Through the REFERENCE field on the configuration dialog allows the user to select one of the available physical resources. If one of the these resources is selected then the device will be configured as physical output. All the other selections will produce a logical device to associate with components like  INPUT , NCINPUT, EINPUT , ENCINPUT .

For further information about input-output device association see the section LOGICAL LINKS .

In detail, when a OUTPUT device is configured as a logical object, a global variable is created and is public to all the net. The OUTPUT device will reply the signal present on its input on the output, so more OUTPUT devices can be chained on the same rung.
