4. Select one or more network variable shapes to delete. To select multiple network variable shapes,
hold down CTRL and click the shapes you want to delete. To select all of the listed network
variables, click Select All.
5. Set the following options:
Display Select which network variable and message tag shapes are displayed.
• Select Unconnected NV and MT Shapes to view all the
unconnected network variable and message tag shapes on the
functional block.
• Select Dynamic NVs to view all the unconnected dynamic
network variable shapes on the functional block.
Apply Changes to Select the scope of the removal of the selected network variable and
message tags shapes. You have four choices:
• This FB Only. The selected network variable and message tag
shapes will be deleted from the selected functional block only.
• All selected FBs of this Type. The selected network variable
and message tag shapes will be deleted from all functional
blocks in the LonMaker drawing with the same type of the
selected functional block.
• All FBs of this Type in this Subsystem. The selected network
variable and message tag shapes will be deleted from all
functional blocks in the current subsystem with the same type of
the selected functional block.
• All FBs of this Type in this Subsystem and its Dependent
Subsystems. The selected network variable and message tag
shapes will be deleted from all functional blocks in the current
subsystem and from any of its nested subsystems with the same
type of the selected functional block.
6. Click OK.
Deleting Dynamic Network Variables
You can delete a dynamic network variable from a functional block. When you delete a dynamic
network variable, you can either delete the network variable shape, or you can delete both the network
variable shape and the implementation. You can also delete a dynamic network variable by deleting
the functional block containing it.
To choose the action that occurs when you delete a dynamic network variable or a functional block
containing a dynamic network variable, set the Delete Dynamic NVs when FB Shape is Deleted and
Delete Dynamic NVs when NV Shape is Selected boxes under Functional Blocks Options in the
network properties: Functional Blocks options category as described in Appendix A. Select one of
the following options:
• Yes to remove both the dynamic network variable shape and implementation from the functional
block.
• No to remove only the dynamic network variable shape. The implementation remains on the
functional block.
• Ask to be prompted each time a dynamic network variable is to be deleted
To access the network properties: Functional Blocks options category, open the LonMaker menu,
click LonMaker options, and select Functional Blocks from the Options Category list.
