Digital Outputs Lists the digital outputs included on the Outputs tab.
Options Defines the type of digital signal that will be sent to the external device:
• None–The process does not send a digital signal, but the done signal can
still be used to start and interrupt other processes.
• Set–The process generates a logic high signal (+12 V DC).
• Clear–The process generates a logic low signal (0 V DC).
• Toggle–The process inverts the current state (from low-to-high or high-
to-low).
• Pulse–The process inverts the current state with a pulse signal, holds the
inverted state for the time specified in the Pulse Width control, and then
returns to the original state.
If you choose the Set, Clear, or Toggle selections, the process generates a done
trigger as soon as it sends the selected digital signals to the external device. If
you select the Pulse selection, the process does not generate the done signal
until the pulse width time has expired and those outputs return to their original
state.

Pulse Width Specifies the duration of the pulse the controller sends to the external device.
You may select a time in the range of 100 milliseconds to 2 seconds with an
increment of 10 milliseconds.
Note This control is enabled only if you have a digital output signal using the
Pulse option.
