No, a solenoid is an actuator, which helps a computer or robotic system to output a response. The output of a solenoid is in the form of movement.
Solenoids are used to move an arm or plunger through a small movement with the aid of an electromagnet. When an electric current runs through the electromagnet, it will move, hence it is sued to push or pull an object.
It is my understanding that a solenoid is merely a magnetic switch. Early vehicles with power starters had a separate, non keyed starting motor. Very early vehicles had hand cranks. The solenoid allows a key driven electric starter. The purpose is to prevent high voltages from needing to go through the steering column. Here's what happens; you turn the key and a small amount of electricity travels to the solenoid, it trips the magnetic switch, which completes a circuit to allow more massive amount of energy to engage the starter motor. This is why you hear the clicking when your battery is low. The clicking is simply the solenoid switching on and off.

Which electrical device has the output of rotary motion?
Solenoid --- A solenoid produces linear motion. It's an electric motor that produces rotary motion.
How the solenoid become an electric generator?
A solenoid will never become an electrical generator. The two articles in the question are two different devices. A solenoid, is usually associated with an electrically operated valve. An electrical generator is used to produced a voltage output of a specific value and an amperage of a specific value. Combined amps and volts results in a wattage output. It is the wattage rating that generators are sized by.
How can a Discrete 120 V ac output module is to be used to control a 230 V DC solenoid show how this could be accomplished using a interposing relay?
To control a 230V DC solenoid using a 120V AC output module, you can use an interposing relay. Connect the 120V AC output module to the coil terminals of the relay, and then wire the contacts of the relay to the 230V DC solenoid. When the output module energizes, it will actuate the relay which in turn will supply power to the solenoid, allowing you to safely control the higher voltage solenoid using the lower voltage module.
What does the code P0700 and P1855 mean on a 2005 suzuki forenza?
P0700 is just the engine controller telling you the trans controller has a code. P1855 is Solenoid 2 output open.
