The splitting number of a plane irreducible curve for a Galois cover is effective in distinguishing the embedded topology of plane curves. In this paper, we define the connected number of a plane curve (possibly reducible) for a Galois cover, which is similar to the splitting number. By using the connected number, we distinguish the embedded topology of Artal arrangements of degree $b\,\ge \,4$ , where an Artal arrangement of degree $b$ is a plane curve consisting of one smooth curve of degree $b$ and three of its total inflectional tangents.
