Creating Connections | |
---|---|
1. While holding down the Alt key, click and drag on an FB data, event or plug output. | 2. Drag the target over the data, event or socket input. |
3. Release the
mouse button and the connection is made. The connection is
automatically selected as indicated by the red color, and its
corresponding declaration is highlighted in the XML and src
text areas.
|
This works for data and event connections in a function block
diagram (FBD), as well as transitions
in an Execution Control Chart (ECC).
Invalid connections are
automatically rejected:
When an input is to the left of
the associated output, the connection is drawn with 5 rather than
3 segments, with sufficient clearance from the body of the source
FB to allow you to drag the 3 moveable segments into appropriate
positions.

Dragging Connections | Deleting Connections |
A connection can
be selected in the worksheet, and its corresponding declaration
highlighted in the XML and src text areas, by a mouse
click on the center (vertical) segment of a three-segment line, on
one of the three center sections of a five-segment line, or on the
transition condition of an EC transition. The selected segment can
then be dragged, and its XML declaration will be updated at the
conclusion of the drag (mouse-up).
|
A
connection can be deleted via the pop-up menu obtained by
right-clicking on an appropriate segment.
