After saving, the asterisk that appeared by the modified parameter will
clear, indicating that the changes have been accepted.
Note If you do not want to save the changes you made, you can undo
them by clicking the Read All button at the bottom of the configuration

Application
Typically, once you have configured block parameters, you can create a
block diagram (or control strategy). Following is an example of how to
create a basic connection to the AI block using the Function Block
Application (FBAP).
1. Double-click the Function Block Application object in the
configuration tree. The FBAP grid opens in the middle frame.
2. For this example, connect the AO block of another device on the
network to the DensityPRO AI block. Click on the DensityPRO AI
block and drag it to the FBAP grid.
