using ComfileTech.Cfnet.Cfheader;

var cfheader0 = Cfheader.Instances[0];
var digitalOutputModule0 = cfheader0.DigitalOutputModules[0];

cfheader0.Open();

while (true)
{
    // Blink each output in increasing order
    foreach (var channel in digitalOutputModule0.Channels)
    {
        channel.Blink();
    }

    // Blink each output in decreasing order
    foreach (var channel in digitalOutputModule0.Channels.Reverse())
    {
        channel.Blink();
    }
}

static class Extensions
{
    public static void Blink(this DigitalOutputModule.Channel channel)
    {
        // Toggle the channel's state
        channel.Toggle();

        // Delay for 50ms
        Thread.Sleep(50);

        // Toggle the channel's state again
        channel.Toggle();
    }

    public static void Toggle(this DigitalOutputModule.Channel channel)
    {
        // Toggle state
        channel.State = !channel.State;

        // Write the state to the module
        channel.Module.Header.Sync();
    }
}
