Block MAVLINK Setup opens a MAVLink connection over TCP or UDP and outputs its handle. The descriptor is common to all blocks of receiving and transmitting data: feed it to the input conn of each block MAVLINK RX and MAVLINK TX models, and they will all exchange messages over the same connection. Additional blocks MAVLINK Setup They are only needed if the model needs to work with multiple MAVLink message sources at the same time.
