8.3.3 Adding a Multi-Connection Object
To simplify the engineering process of connecting signals between the
devices multi-connection objects can be used. These objects act as con-
tainers of many connection objects and they allow you to make several
connections in one dialog box. Multi-connection objects are modified
using Connection Manager which supports the use of drag-and-drop
operations of signals from both system pane and network pane.
For more information about working with the connection manager, see
Section 10.3, “Multi-Connection Objects”, on page 88.
To add a multi-connection object
1 In the system pane, right-click the folder where you want to add a
multi-connection object. In the example, ACME_Gateway-Engi-
neering-Connection_Objects.
2 Point to New, point to Object, and then click Multi-
Connection Object.
The connection manager appears.
3 In XBuilder, in the system pane, drag the sending signal to the
From column in the connection manager. In the example, the
ACME_Gateway-Engineering-PM710_Signals-
Inst_current_phase_1 signal to the first row of the From column
in the connection manager.
