Connect I/O channels with I/Os and disconnect them

On the I/O channels tab, you can see the connection status and connected I/Os in the Connection status and Connected I/Os columns.

On the I/O channels tab on the right, there is the I/O auxiliary grid with which you can easily connect I/O channels with I/Os as a mass by dragging and dropping the I/Os from the auxiliary grid to the main grid.

You can lock the auxiliary grid to the screen from the top right corner with the button. You can also make your work easier by organizing, grouping and filtering information as you wish.
