Reconfiguring the predefined interconnection
15.4.4 Creating/deleting connections
After adding objects and arranging them in a reasonable manner within the drawing area,
you can create the connections between the available objects which are required for the
desired function.
A connection always has a direction and therefore always has a source and a target.
Permissible/impermissible connections
Several connections can lead from one output.
However, maximally one connection may end in an input.
Only inputs/outputs of the same signal type can be connected.
From the »Engineer« V2.12 "Analog/scaled" (_a) and "Miscellaneous (WORD)" signal types
can also be interconnected.
From the »Engineer« V2.13 "Analog/scaled" (_a) and "Angular velocity" (_v) signal types
can also be interconnected.
An output represents a possible source
in the interconnection.
An input represents a possible target in
the interconnection.
Therefore it is always possible to start a
new connection from an output.
Therefore it is only possible to start a
new connection from an input if there
is no connection already ending in this
input.
Thus, a connection between different
port symbol cannot be established.
The implicit type conversion is
indicated by a vertical black bar at the
port symbol.
