4.4.5 How to configure interconnections to the FF devices
PCS 7 supports you during the configuration of FF devices by providing prepared templates
for different functions. In the CFC Editor, you will find the templates in catalog > "Libraries" >
tab, folder "PCS 7 AP Library V..."\Blocks+Templates\Templates.
You can find information about this in the context-sensitive help for the templates and in the
Process Control System PCS 7; Advanced Process Library
documentation.
Channel blocks for FF devices
Use the channel blocks of the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) to interconnect the
signals of FF devices.
One channel block should be used for each I/O address.
