A typical wiring for [get departures](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/NS/nsconnection_departures): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [open connection](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/NS/nsconnection_open) feeds the `connection` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `station` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `uic_code` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui/state_debug).
