Name
Also called the tag name, this is the name used in the
application program to reference the output point. The name
can be up to 12 characters long.
Description
This 40-character field provides a place to describe the output
point definition. The description is used to help document
your system (it does not affect application program operation).
Comm Protect
Marking the Comm Protect check box protects the point from
changes by communications functions such as data write,
forcing, and load initial value when Comm Protect is enabled.
Initial Value
The initial value for the output is loaded to the Regent when
you load the I/O configuration and also when you load the
application program that controls the output.
Final Value
The final value for the output is loaded to the Regent when
the application program that controls the output is deleted.
Unless special circumstances exist, you should always enter
zero, so that the output is turned off when you delete the
application program that controls it.
Output Module Definition
In addition to configuring output point definitions, you can
configure an output module definition to represent the
combined state of all sixteen output points. The module
definition represents the 16 output point definitions as signed,
16-bit integers. In this format, output point 1 is the least
significant bit (LSB) and output point 16 is the most
significant bit (MSB).
Programming
Outputs are controlled by writing application programs that
solve for output values. For example, placing an output tag
name on a coil in ladder logic will cause the output to turn on
when there is power flow to the coil in the ladder logic rung.
You can also reference the logic state of the output in your
