7.4 Group
An output group is made up of output points that have been programmed to respond in the same way. Output
groups simplify programming because you have to program the output characteristics that are common to all of
the group points once, instead of programming each individual point. Once you have defined the characteristics
of output groups, you can assign each point to the appropriate group. All valid output points are assigned to only
one output group. Unused points are not assigned to any output group. Up to 125 output groups can be defined.
