A binary output is a physical output. You can configure Binary Output blocks and use them while creating application logic.
To add and configure a binary output block:
While using a LonSpyder Controller, the following fields are displayed.
| Name | Description |
| Point Name | Type a name or use the default names given by the tool. |
| Point Type | Binary Output is the default selection. You can select Software Output, Binary Output or Modulating Output to change the point type. |
| OK | Saves the entered information and closes the dialog box. |
| Cancel | Closes the dialog box. Any information entered is lost. |
While using a Bacnet Controller, the following fields are displayed.
| Name | Description |
| Point Name | Type a name or use the default names given by the tool. |
| Point Type | Binary Output is the default selection. You can select Network Output, Binary Output or Modulating Output to change the point type. |
| Advanced | Displays the Bacnet object details. Object Name, Object Type, Object Instance are the fields provided. Object Name is automatically provided by the tool and can be edited. Object Instance number can also be edited. Object Type is a read only field and cannot be edited. If the GPU option in the advanced dialog box is set to True, Send Heartbeat is enabled. |
| OK | Saves the entered information and closes the dialog box. |
| Cancel | Closes the dialog box. Any information entered is lost. |
Note: You can drag the IOs on to the wiresheet even when all pins are used up. Honeywell Spyder allows IOs to be dropped but they are not assigned with a pin. Such IOs are termed as invalid IOs.
When a binary output is deleted, if it had a valid IO pin assigned, the freed pin is automatically assigned to an invalid Modulating output configured as PWM type or to an invalid binary output, if any.
When a physical IO (Modulating input, Binary input, Modulating output, Binary output) with a valid IO pin is copied and pasted in the wiresheet, the resulting IO gets the same configuration as the source and a new available pin. If no free pin is available, the resulting IO becomes an invalid IO.
When an invalid physical IO (Modulating input, Binary input, Modulating output, Binary output) is copied and pasted in the wiresheet, the resulting IO gets the same configuration as the source and it is also an invalid IO.
