Duplicate an Equipment Instance

When you duplicate an equipment instance, the new instance will have "_n" appended to its name (where "n" is the next integer required to create a unique name).

Note: You cannot duplicate an equipment instance if its associated equipment type is currently open with unsaved changes.

To duplicate an equipment instance:

• Right-click the required equipment instance in the Equipment panel hierarchy and select Duplicate from the menu that appears.

  The duplicated instance will appear in the same hierarchy branch as the original (with the appended name). The name is highlighted, allowing you to enter a new name if required.

  Note: If you duplicate an equipment instance with a new name (without changing the tag prefixes) and then run the equipment update, Plant SCADA does not generate tags for the new equipment due to duplicated tag names. The log file provides a record of the tags not generated.
