Automatically Setting Connections (Network - Auto Connection)
You can use automatic detection of the tag set names that are set for devices to automatically set con-
nections between input and output tag sets with the same name (or the same names excluding speci-
fied ellipses). Connections are automatically set under the following conditions.
Output tag set names for connec-
tion setting
Input tag set names for connection
settings
Connection type
RPI
Timeout
Example 1: Automatic Connections with the Same Tag Set Names
The following connections are automatically set with the same tag set name (A_Signal) if there is an
output (produce) tag set named A_Signal at node A and input (consume) tag sets named A_Signal
at nodes B and C.
Node A
Output tag set: A_Signal
Example 2: Automatic Connections with the Ellipses
The following connections are automatically set with the same tag set name (Signal) if there is an
output (produce) tag set named O_Signal at node A and input (consume) tag sets named I_Signal at
nodes B and C, and "O_" and "I_" are set as forward ellipses.
Node A
Output tag set: O_Signal

Set the same tag set names for the output and input tag sets for the connection. The tag set
names can also include forward and backward ellipses.
