Binding to Block Pin connections

Defining a function block Pin connection as a Property to reference in a Control Binding is supported in the Control Property Template. When importing properties from a typical Cxxx/ACE type XML configuration file all exposed Pin connections in the referenced XML configuration file will be available for selection in the Parameter list.

Parameter Pin connections are formatted as a Property type using the following notation:

<PREF-LL-BBBB.PPPP> where
PREF - defines this type of Property (parameter) as a Pin connection type
LL - defines the location of the connection Pin in relation to its Function Block surface
IT = InputTop
IL = InputLeft
OB = OutputBottom
OR = OutputRight
BBBB - defines the Function Block name that contains the Pin connection reference
PPPP - defines the Parameter that the Pin connection references on the Function Block

By default Pin connection parameters are typed as a String type.
