Connections and variables
A connection is the link or "wire" between function block outputs and inputs.
There are rules and methods for making connections.
•
Drag a line between two signals
•
Link two signals by using variables
It is possible to search and replace variable names in Application
Configuration tool.
Connect the variables to a destination, for example to a function block
or a hardware output channel. The connectivity package
automatically removes the orphan variables which are not connected
to any destination.
Connection validation
A connection is only useful or even possible between two signals of the same base
attribute type.

Hardware channels
Hardware channels can only be connected to a function block input or output. A
hardware connection can be established with the Application Configuration tool or
Signal Matrix tool.
