For SmartServer 3.4 and higher, see Relay Output.
You can control the state of the two IOX relay outputs. You can control a relay output state by creating a connection to another datapoint with a connection file, by updating the datapoint from a Sequencing widget data flow or web flow, or by writing to the relay output block using the CMS Datapoint Browser.
To control the state of a relay output with the CMS Datapoint Browser, perform the following steps:
Open the Datapoint Browser.
