Output coil OTE
Turns the tag on while the rung is true, off when false.
Global.MotorOTE
| Tag | After two scans |
|---|---|
| Motor | 1 |
How it works
Writes the rung state to its BOOL operand every scan: 1 while the rung is true, 0 while it is false.
How it's used
Use OTE for an output that follows its rung: a motor, a valve, a lamp.

Each OTE writes its tag every scan. RunLamp follows Motor.

Common mistakes
- Expecting it to hold its last valueA false rung writes 0. Use OTL and OTU when the tag must stay on.
