Connecting ITEM settable parameters
Constants (fixed values) or variables (analog signals) are set by the Constant
ITEM Setting block (Block Model 171) or Variable ITEM Setting (Block Model
172).
To write constants (fixed values)
Example
Set constant 5000 (50.00) to ITEM023 (local Set Point) of the Basic PID
block of block address 001.

Note
When connections between function blocks are set by ITEM data, do not
mistake the ITEM type (for example, specify a connect ITEM as the source
designation for an analog signal).
