Alternator
The Alternator is typically used to alternate the starting sequence of a group of pumps, valves, filters, etc.
Each block accepts up to 16 inputs and controls up to 16 outputs.
There are four unique alternation styles used to control the output starting sequence so that you can limit
the amount of repeat or continuous usage of a single device (pumps, valves, etc.). If an output device fails,
or has been disabled, then an alternate device will be used in order to meet the requested demand. You may
specify the alternators active outputs and the order in which the outputs are manipulated.
