Module blocks

Module blocks allow one control module to be represented on the diagram of a different control module. This allows the interactions between multiple control strategies to be visually created and maintained while ensuring the isolation and integrity of each independent module. The module block is graphically wired to other blocks on the strategy. The following figure shows a module block called MODULE with an output parameter that is wired to a splitter function block. Note that you cannot nest module blocks.

The wires connected to the module automatically establish communications between the two modules during run time. Any parameter within the referenced module can be wired.
