Duplicate an Instrument Tag in the Instrument Index - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

This option enables you to create a new instrument tag in the Instrument Index module by duplicating the properties of an existing one and then editing the new tag properties as required. You can create the new duplicated instrument tag in the same <unit> as the original tag or any other <unit> in the current domain.

1. Select Edit > Tag Numbers > Duplicate Tag Number in the Instrument Index Module window.

2. Do one of the following:

   • On the Enter Tag Number dialog, type the instrument tag number you want to duplicate, and then select OK.

   • To find a tag that you want to duplicate do the following:

   1. On the Enter Tag Number dialog, select Find.

   2. On the Duplicate Tag Number - Find Items dialog, select the instrument tag you want to duplicate, and then select OK.

3. Type the new instrument tag on the Duplicated Tag Number dialog, and then select OK.

4. If you want to duplicate the instrument tag in another <unit> of the same domain, do the following:

   1. Select the Create in another unit check box.

   2. Select OK.

5. On the Select Target <Unit> dialog, select the target <unit> for the new tag and then select OK.

6. If you did one of the following, the Select Instrument Type dialog opens.

   • Modified the Instrument Type segment (Component Class segment in KKS) of the tag and the new Instrument Type does not have a unique value.

   • Modified a free segment of the tag.

   • Changed the Tag Class to Telecom.

   Select the instrument type you want to associate with the current tag number, and then, select OK.

7. On the Loop Name dialog, and do one of the following:

   • Type the loop number that you want to associate the new instrument tag with, and select OK.

   • On the Loop Properties dialog, type the data and select OK.

   • Select OK, to accept the displayed loop number.

   • Select Cancel, not to associate the new instrument tag with any loop. You can associate the new tag with a loop later. For more details, see Change an Instrument Tag Loop Association in the Domain Explorer.

8. On the Tag Properties dialog enter the data or select appropriate values from the lists. For details on entering power supply data (not applicable for electrical tags), see Enter Power Supply Data for Panels and Instrument Tags .

9. Select OK.

• You can also duplicate an instrument tag from the Domain Explorer. For more details, see Duplicate an Instrument Tag in the Domain Explorer.

• The software does not duplicate existing calibration settings of the source tag. If you want to define calibration settings for the duplicated tag, the calibration profile definitions apply. These definitions exist at the level of the instrument type.

• The software does not duplicate associated downstream lines, that is, if more than one line is associated with the tag, only the first (upstream) line is duplicated.
