changed, be sure to check the connections. (Refer to 6-2-17 Checking

Connections
Tag set names set for devices can be automatically detected to automatically
set connections between input and output tag sets with the same name (or
the same names excluding specified ellipses). Connections are automatically
set under the following conditions.
Example 1: Automatic Connections with the Same Tag Set Names
The following connections would automatically be set if there is an output tag
set named A_Signal at node A and input tag sets named A_Signal at nodes B
and C.
Output tag set names Except for specified ellipses, the output tag set name
must be the same as the input tag set name.
Ellipses can be set for the beginning or end of tag set
names.
Input tag set names Except for specified ellipses, the input tag set name
must be the same as the output tag set name.
Ellipses can be set for the beginning or end of tag set
names.
