    <p>
      This node sends digital output values to a channel on a Smartlink Universal I/O digital output module via the shared gateway bus.
    </p>
  
    <p>
      You must configure the following:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li><strong>Gateway Node:</strong> Reference to the gateway connected to the bus.</li>
      <li><strong>Device Address:</strong> Address of the I/O module.</li>
    </ul>
  
    <p>
      <strong>Input Format:</strong><br/>
      The node expects an incoming message with:
      <ul>
        <li><code>msg.payload</code> — digital value to output (can be <code>true | false</code>, <code>1 | 0</code> or <code>'on' | 'off'</code>)</li>
        <li><code>msg.channel</code> — the digital output channel index (0 to 3)</li>
      </ul>
    </p>
  
    <p>
      The value in <code>msg.payload</code> will be sent to the specified channel of the I/O module as a boolean value.
    </p>
  
    <p>
      <strong>Important:</strong> Ensure that the channel specified in <code>msg.channel</code> is valid (0–3). Invalid channels will be ignored or may produce an error depending on node configuration.
    </p>
  
    <p>
      This node assumes the hardware module is properly wired and supports digital output.
    </p>
