This option enables to assign a segment to a channel so that you can effect I/O assignment for fieldbus segments.

  1. Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer.

  2. In the Domain Explorer, do one of the following:

    • Select a parent wiring item that contains one or more I/O card child items and whose I/O type is Fieldbus FF.

    • Select an I/O card or an I/O termination whose I/O type is Fieldbus FF.

  3. Right-click the selected items and then select Actions > I/O Assignment.

  4. From the Segments list, select an appropriate segment.

    The software displays only those segments that contain instruments for which virtual tags have been created.

  5. Drag the selected segment to a free channel in the Channel assignment pane.

    You can shift the assignment of a segment to another unassigned channel by simply pressing and holding the CTRL key while dragging the segment to another unassigned channel. You cannot change the assignment this way if the target channel has already been assigned to another segment. Note that when changing the assignment, the software retains the existing control system data.
