10.3 Multi-Connection Objects
For examples on how to connect signals between devices using multi-
connection objects, see Section 8.3.3, “Adding a Multi-Connection
Object”, on page 68.
Multi-connection objects are used to simplify the engineering process
of connecting signals between the devices. The signals whose values are
to be read and the signals to receive the values are dragged to Connec-
tion Manager that opens when you modify the multi-connection object.
You connect the same signals in the connection manager as you would
connect to a connection object.
You also set Send Option and Period (s) as you would have done in the
properties pane for a connection object.
The Send Option and Period (s) settings work exactly as described for
the connection object in Section 10.2, “Connection Objects”, on
page 87.
From the signals added in the connection manager a number of connec-
tion objects are created, kept together by a multi-connection object.
After sending the XBuilder project (the gateway application) to the
Xenta 913, the signals are transferred at regular intervals between the
devices.
