To duplicate tags associated with the duplicated loop:

  1. On the Duplicated Tag Number dialog, modify the name of the new tag number as needed. You cannot change the separator.

  2. Select OK.

    The software duplicates the tag associated with the source loop and associates the new tag with the new loop number.

    If you have more than one tag associated with the loop, a Duplicated Tag Number dialog will open for each tag, one after the other.

  3. When prompted, select Yes to edit the tag properties for the tag you have duplicated, or No to duplicate the tag numbers with their existing parameter values.

  4. On the Loop Number Properties dialog, define the properties you want to associate with the loop number.

    SHARED Tip For details of the options available select the Help button in the Loop Number Properties dialog.

  5. Define a functional requirement if required. For details, see Define a Functional Requirement for a Loop.

  6. Select OK.

  • You can change the measured variable of the new loop number or keep it the same as the source one. New tag numbers associated with the new loop number will be affected accordingly, that is, the measured variable of the new tag numbers will change if the measured variable of the new duplicated loop is changed. For example, if you are duplicating Loop 101-F-102 and you change the measured variable of the new loop to T, the new tag numbers associated with the new loop number will change their instrument type in accordance with the new measured variable: source Tag Number 101-FE-102 will change to 101-TE- 102.

  • You can also duplicate a loop number from the Instrument Index module. On the Instrument Index Module window, select Duplicate loop icon 16bit or on the menu bar, select Edit > Loop Numbers > Duplicate Loop Number.
