Which device is a digital output used to position a motor?

• A. Flow switch
• B. Pseudopoint
• C. Digital output
• D. Timed override initiator

Answer: (C)

Digital outputs provide binary on/off control signals to actuators. When connected to a motor driver or relay, a digital output can command the motor to move to a desired state, effectively positioning it in discrete steps or states. This on/off signaling is exactly what a digital output does in a direct digital control system.

A flow switch is a sensing device that detects fluid flow and sends a signal, not a drive signal. A pseudopoint isn’t a standard device for driving motor position, and a timed override initiator governs timing of control rather than directly moving a motor.
