Example 2: Automatic Connections with the Ellipses
The following connections would automatically be set if there is an output tag
set named O_Signal at node A and input tag sets named I_Signal at nodes B
and C, and “O_” and “I_” were set as ellipses.
1,2,3... 1. Set the same tag set names for the output and input tag sets for the con-
nection. The tag set names can also include forward and backward el-
lipses.
2. Select Auto Connection from the Network Menu. The connections will be
set automatically.
A dialog box will appear to set forward and backward ellipses for both out-
put (product) and input (consume) tag sets as soon as automatic connec-
tion setting processing has begun.
Input the ellipses and click the OK Button. Automatic setting will be pro-
cessed.
3. If there are tag sets that meet the conditions for automatic connection set-
ting, they will be displayed.
