be used as control feedback, as auxiliary inputs, and digital inputs/outputs.
Likewise, in addition to normal output resources installed in your controller, you can also assign virtual outputs

About Station Resources
In general, all of the resources visible in the navigation pane and in the input and output resource lists are
“station resources.” That is, they may all be used to create station configuration files.
The resources in the Station tab of the Input Resources and Output Resources lists, however, are unique
types of station resources.
