dout8pt 
Generic 8 point DOUT module 
Description 
The dout8pt I/O module provides eight I/O channels for Generic 8 Point Digital output 
hardware. Data for each of the eight I/O channels may be connected to user-defined 
variables with the I/O connection editor. The digital outputs are updated continuously with 
data read from the variables. 
Set the dout8pt module_address to match the address switches on the Generic 8 Point 
Digital output hardware. 
The dout8pt I/O module may be used in place of any other 8-point digital output-type 
module. The dout8pt module type is a useful selection early on in the system design stage 
before the final selection of the specific digital output module is known.
