Considerations
You have created a replacement/different fieldbus device type in the Library tab of
Control Builder.
The Unlike Template Replacement wizard will guide you through the following
replacement operations.
Select device instances to replace,
Select the replacement device type,
Initiate validation of the replacement for each device instance selected,
Initiate replacement of the selected instances, and
Display errors and warnings as appropriate.
The wizard validates whether the replacement of a certain device instance with the
selected device type is acceptable. Errors and/or warnings may be generated during
this operation.
The wizard performs the replacement of each selected instance with the selected
device type. Errors and/or warnings may be generated during this operation.
If you are using the Qualification and Version Control System, the wizard automates
all required QVCS operations. In general, the operational requirements of QVCS
must be followed, regardless of whether the user is making changes to the
configuration or whether the system makes changes automatically.
The contents of the original device's resource block are retained when the
replacement is completed. Any transducer blocks in the original device that match
those in the replacement device have their contents retained.
Fixed function blocks can match with instantiable blocks of the same basic type, and
vice-versa. When a replacement device contains both fixed and instantiable blocks,
for the same basic block preference is given to the fixed block(s) first, and then
followed by the instantiable blocks. This allows fixed blocks to be allocated in the
replacement device before instantiable blocks need to be created.
