blocks in group 3 must have a higher execution order than the main function block
in group 2.

6.1.7 Connections and variables
GUID-1564FB6D-2682-49AE-A1D5-8B7F03E4204B v4
A connection is the link or "wire" between function block outputs and inputs.
Rules and methods to do connections:
• Drag a line between two signals.
• Link two signals by using variables.
It is possible to search and replace variable names in ACT.
Connection validation
A connection is only useful and possible between two signals of the same data
type, see Figure 40.

6.1.8 Hardware channels
GUID-3455B27F-8F45-4510-A376-0F6C8B6BE3BF v4
Hardware channels can only be connected to a function block input or output. A
hardware connection can be established in ACT or SMT. When a hardware channel
is connected a graphical symbol appears in ACT, see Figure 41. The connection is
