What does the DOUT instruction with an OT#() tag control?

The DOUT instruction with an OT#() tag specifically controls Universal Outputs within a control system. Universal Outputs are versatile outputs that can be configured to drive various types of loads or devices in a system, such as relays, actuators, or indicator lights. The DOUT instruction is used to send a digital output signal - essentially a command to activate or deactivate these outputs based on the control logic programmed in the system.

This functionality is essential in applications where you need to control equipment or devices that respond to digital signals, making Universal Outputs a critical component of automated systems. Understanding the operation of the DOUT instruction in conjunction with OT#() tags allows engineers and operators to effectively design and troubleshoot complex control systems.
