Mutually exclusive output: For example, using Y3 and Y4 to control the forward and reverse rotation
of the corresponding motor, creating an interlock in the external circuit. Combined with the PLC
internal program, this ensures that there are safety measures in place for any abnormal or sudden
situations.
