Define Connection Types

Explanation

Use this activity to define a connection type. A connection type is used to establish parallel connections between objects such as hydraulic connections, cable connections, or electrical connection, etc.

For example, a connection type named as Power connection could be used as a connection type between two or more objects to indicate that they are connected to the same power circuit. If you need to shut down the power to do work on one machine you can easily find out if this will affect any other machines. 

The Connections on the Functional Object Has /Serial Object Has dropdown indicates that the object has a connection to another object.
