Signal Actions
A Signal Action sends signals to the system based on a configured Virtual Station. A valid Signal Action includes a Virtual Station, a Boolean input/output state or event signal, and a state to send when triggered. You must also configure a Cease setting to define how the Signal Action stops. By default, it follows the state of the rule and the trigger condition.
