TIP
If a FIM and its associated Links exist in the Project
tab, you can drag and drop a fieldbus device from a
directory in the Library tab directly to a Link. The
following procedure adds a fieldbus device to the
(offline) Project tab and then shows how to assign it
to a Link through the Assignment dialog box in the
next procedure. Once a device is assigned to a Link,
it represents a matching physical device that is to
reside on the given Link.
