Insert visualization 'visu' twice in 'visu1' (two references of 'visu').
Mark the first reference of 'visu' and open the configuration dialog of category
'Visualization'. Press button 'Placeholder', so that the placeholder list will be displayed.
There replace entry 'FUB' by 'PLC_PRG.inst_1'.
Now mark the second instance of 'visu' and (like described for the first one) replace
'FUB' by 'PLC_PRG.inst_2'.
Now in online mode the values of the variables which are used to configure the two
instances of 'fu' will be visualized in the corresponding instance of 'visu'.
Of course the placeholder $FUB$ can be used at all places in the configuration of 'visu'
where variables or text strings are entered.

configure them:
• primarily you use the list when configuring a visualization object, which later
should be inserted, which means instanced, in other visualization(s). For this
reason you will use placeholders instead of or additionally to variables and strings
in the configuration dialogs. You can open the dialog 'Placeholders' by the
command 'List of Placeholders' in the 'Extras' menu or in the context menu. The list
shows three columns:
Placeholder list for input of possible replacements for the placeholders
