data |
Specifies sizes of connecting
pipelines from tag values rather than from the pipe sizes
specified in the connecting components. You specify pipe size of
a connecting routing component in the component connection point
definition. When a component has multiple connection points,
values for the FromEquipPort or
ToEquipPort elements are
also used to identify the component size. |
