Links
Links are software connections between two parameters. This allows one
parameter to receive information from another parameter.
Each destination parameter can only have one source parameter. However, source
parameters may be linked to multiple destination parameters. The information
from the link always flows from the source to the destination parameter.
Certain parameters can only be destination parameters. Several default links are
set in the drive as default. Modifying these links, or creating new parameter links,
can be done using a HIM or DriveExecutive software. Each method is explained
in detail below.
