Which instruction would you use to energize an output?

The instruction used to energize an output is OTE, which stands for "Output Energize." This instruction is specifically designed to control an output device, such as a motor, light, or relay, in a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) program.

When an OTE instruction is executed, it will energize the specified output when the conditions leading to that instruction are TRUE. This means that when the appropriate logic or conditions are met in the rung of the ladder logic where OTE is placed, the output associated with that instruction will turn on, allowing for control over physical devices connected to the PLC.

The OTE instruction directly sets the output's status to ON (or TRUE). This makes it a fundamental part of PLC programming for tasks that require outputs to be energized under certain conditions, facilitating automation processes and system control.
