Using the Configurator
You can use

to paste display items, display adders, or annunciators.
Figure 148 Paste Special for annunciators
A regular copy is defined as follows:
•
The LEDs and switches are copied and become separate entities from the original LEDs
and switches.
•
Common Control Status LEDS are an exception. All similar types operate in parallel. For
example, a copied and pasted Signal Silence would retain the internal LED group of the
source.
•
All attributes (tags and flags) are copied.
•
If
Copy I/O correlations
is selected, then the I/O correlations are assigned to the new
copy.
•
If
Copy I/O correlations
is not selected, then the I/O correlations are not copied.
A reference copy is defined as follows:
•
New LEDs and switches are defined, but they are linked closely to the original source.
•
If any 3 POSITION SLIDE SWITCH is encountered while attempting a "Reference Copy"
of individual items, a complete adder or an entire annunciator, an error message is
displayed and a roll back of the operation occurs.
•
Both the new copy and the source (and any subsequent reference copies) will be
marked with an asterisk to warn the user that the items are linked or cross referenced. A
change to one (for example, addition of correlations) affects the others.
