Examples are instances of the connector classes &lt;span style=" font-family:Courier New;">InPort&lt;/span> and &lt;span style=" font-family:Courier New;">OutPort&lt;/span>. Normally the following rules apply:&lt;br />*    Two acausal connectors can be connected to each other.&lt;br />*    An input connector can be connected to an output connector or vice versa.&lt;br />*    An input or output connector can be connected to an acausal connector, i.e. a connector without input/output prefixes.&lt;br />&lt;/p>&lt;/body>&lt;/html></Text>
