Concept
Bindings
Bindings in Builder View are connections between two or more variables for data exchange. In its simplest form, the binding consists of a source and a target. The source supplies the value to the target.
In the EcoStruxure Building Operation software, you typically bind source properties to target properties in objects such as programs, alarms, trend logs, and graphics. These objects frequently need to use values that exist elsewhere in the system. You create the target properties in your program, but you create the bindings externally, separately from the system.
This separation of program and bindings is due to the object-oriented approach in the EcoStruxure Building Operation database.

Binding Styles
You can choose the shape of your binding by selecting one type of binding:
Curve - bindings displayed as a simple Bézier curve between bound ports.
Orthogonal - bindings drawn with right angels between each line segment.
For more information, see Canvas Binding Context Menu .
Bindings View
The Bindings view displays all local and external bindings. A local binding is between canvas objects bound in the current folder structure. An External binding consists of canvas objects, where one of the bound objects is outside the current folder structure.
