       * "number" - defines the pin number than the light is attached to. A number can be assigned directly, for example \\ number="0" for pin #0 \\ number="15" for ipn #15 \\ or through pin definition file used in Hardware PLC - "pins.h". In this case sign "#" and the pin name defined in "pins.h" should be instead of pin number. For example \\ **number="#OUTPUT_SPINDLE"** \\ and "pins.h should contain this name definition, for example <code C>#define OUTPUT_SPINDLE 7</code>
