Alternately, right-click in the Fieldbus Segment Diagrams window and select Add Instrument from the pop-up menu or select Instrument > Add Instrument(s) from the main menu.

This displays the Select Instrument(s) to Allocate to Fieldbus Segment window.

You can now select from the list the instruments that are to be added to the Fieldbus Device.

When the selection is complete, click Assign.

The selected instruments will be attached to the Fieldbus Device in numerical order and displayed in the Fieldbus Segments Diagrams window.

Note: If more instruments are selected than there are available connection points, the extra instruments will be displayed unattached.

You can select instruments which are not automatically connected to a Fieldbus Device by right-clicking in the graphical view and selecting Add Instrument from the pop-up menu.

This displays the Select Instrument(s) to Allocate to Fieldbus Segment window.

After you have selected the required instruments and clicked Assign, the instruments are displayed in the graphical view unconnected, enabling you to manually position and connect the instruments.
