Duplicate Loop Tags for 7 or Fewer Segments - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

To duplicate tags associated with the duplicated loop:

1. On the Create Loop Tags dialog, select the appropriate check boxes beside the tag numbers that you want to create. The software duplicates the tags associated with the source loop and associates the new tags with the new loop number.

   If you have more than one type of tag associated with the loop, for example; Conventional tags and Functional requirement tags, a Create Loop Tags dialog will open for each tag type, one after the other.

2. Modify the names of the new tag numbers as needed. You cannot change the separator.

3. Select Copy the instrument type from the source tag numbers to keep the instrument type of the source tags.

4. Select Next to move to the next tag type Create Loop Tags dialog.

   If you select Next after editing all the loop tag types a prompt will appear, select Yes to return to the first Create Loop Tags dialog, or No to close the prompt.

5. Select OK, and when prompted, select either Yes to edit the tag properties for the tag you have duplicated, or No to duplicate the tag numbers with their existing parameter values.

6. On the Loop Number Properties dialog, define the properties you want to associate with the loop number. For details of the options available select the Help button in the Loop Number Properties dialog.

7. Define a functional requirement if needed. For details, see Define a Functional Requirement for a Loop.

8. Select OK.

• You can change the measured variable of the new loop number or keep it the same as the source one. New tag numbers associated with the new loop number will be affected accordingly, that is, the measured variable of the new tag numbers will change if the measured variable of the new duplicated loop is changed. For example, if you are duplicating Loop 101-F-102 and you change the measured variable of the new loop to T, the new tag numbers associated with the new loop number will change their instrument type in accordance with the new measured variable: source Tag Number 101-FE-102 will change to 101-TE- 102.

• You can also duplicate a loop number from the Instrument Index module. On the Instrument Index Module window, select or on the menu bar, select Edit > Loop Numbers > Duplicate Loop Number.
