OUT- Output Coil
The Output Coil (OUT) instruction reflects the status of the input logic in the specified discrete memory location. It is necessary for the input logic to remain ON for the output to remain ON.
Avoid using multiple OUT instructions that reference the same discrete memory location; the last OUT or OUTI instruction that is executed will always determine the status of the discrete memory location. You should also avoid referencing the same discrete output point with an OUT or OUTI instruction that you also reference with a SET / RST or SETI / RSTI pair of instructions.
Parameters:
Note: Use the F9 key or click the 'three dot box' at the right edge of the parameter field to open the Default Element Selection Tool (the Element Picker or the Element Browser) or use the Down-Arrow key (Auto-Complete) on any parameter field to see a complete list of the memory locations that are valid for that parameter of the instruction.
Element Reference specifies the discrete memory location to use. This can be any writable Bit location.
Termination Scan Behavior:
Termination behavior describes the actions that the Output Coil (OUT) instruction perform when they stop executing. If the Output Coil (OUT) instruction is contained within a Program, a Task, or a Stage the Output Coil (OUT) instruction will be turned OFF during the termination scan of the containing element. Refer to the Help topic on Termination Behavior for detailed information on the programming elements that have termination logic.
