The Zone-Out is used for controlling actuators without feedback, e.g., lamps, etc. To set the output zone, it is necessary to enter the operand 'S'.

Operands of the Zone-Out
The Zone-Out switches actuators and does not expect any feedback, i.e., it operates pure switching logic. This zone type is mainly used for lights and signals, but also for actuators that have no feedback. However, it should be technically avoided, if possible, because this leads to uncertainties in the process. The operand "S" controls the output.

Assignment of the signals to the Zone-Out
Further, the output of the Zone-Out is entered in the code and can be linked to a signal, see the following code:

Output Mode
The type of signal is determined by the mode of the output. This can be either a digital or analog signal or a parameter. The mode of the output therefore specifies what type of signal is expected and how this signal should be interpreted. For example, if the output mode is set to "digital", the system will send a signal consisting of a discrete value, whereas an analog output mode will send a continuous signal. A parameter mode, on the other hand, sends a value that represents a specific parameter. Overall, the type of signal that a system receives and processes depends largely on the set output mode.
AnalogValue
If the sequence check takes place, the value entered for Output Analog Value is transferred to the analog output, otherwise the value is 0. This function can also be found in the PLC code under the corresponding zone.
AnalogParameter
When the sequence check takes place, the selected parameter is transferred to the analog output. This function can also be found in the PLC code under the corresponding zone.
ParameterList
The 'ParameterList' is assigned a value to the output signal. Several values can be assigned to the output per step. To be able to use this function, a parameter list must already exist or be created in order to be able to select it in the desired zone. The selected parameter list is then in 'Output Parameter List'.
