Step 3 — Enter Links

You can now use links to alter an application by connecting function
block inputs and outputs to other nodes or linear parameters in the
drive. Links are accomplished by entering block ID’s and nodes in
the Link To column on the right side of the DriveBlockEditor screen.

In the example shown below, Rate Limit output node 5 (4:5) is
linked to Limit Block node 0 (1:0).

Node 0 – Input 1

Node 1 – Max Val

Node 2 – Min Val

LIMIT

ID # 1

Node 3 – Max Lim

Node 4 – Min Lim

Node 5 – Output

Node 0 – Lim In

Node 1 – Lim Set

Node 2 – Lim Data

RATE LIMITER

ID # 4

Node 4 – Lim @ Lim

Node 3 – Lim Rate

Node 5 – Lim Out

Step 4 — Download and Compile

Once you have established your execution list with all values and
links, you can download this list from the PC to the drive. The
service will run a series of tests on your execution list before
accepting and compiling the function block task you have
established. Compiling will create the program data sets within the
drive. The DriveBlockEditor will wait until the compile is complete
before sending node values and link connections to the drive.
