Using fieldbus technology in the control strategy > Fieldbus control strategy procedures

Connect fieldbus block inputs and outputs

Algorithms that determine how information is exchanged between devices run in the background in Control Studio. You wire the blocks together in Control Studio to create the algorithms that describe how you want the blocks to execute. The output of one block flows into another block as an input. In our example control strategy, the output of the AI block flows into the PID block as input, the output of the PID block flows into the AO block as input, and so on.



To wire blocks together in Control Studio:

  1. Click the connection point where you want the wire to begin. The cursor turns into a

    .
  2. Hold the left mouse button down and drag the cursor to the end point.
  3. Release the left mouse button at the end point and the line is drawn between the two points.

If you have trouble drawing the connections, use the Connection tool on the toolbar.
