Copy a Device
Copying Devices can increase productivity during initial setup of FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix or when adding power monitors to an existing system. To copy a Device,
follow these steps.
1. Select the device you wish to copy in the System tab, Devices folder.
2. Click Copy in the Device Setup screen.
A new device is created of the same type, with the name ‘Copy of <selected device
name>’.
The new name is truncated if longer than 50 characters.
3. Rename the new device as desired.
4. Change the Device Class if necessary.
5. Edit the communication path as desired.
6. You can also change any other Device Setup parameters, including Parent Group and
Time Zone.
7. Click Save when finished.
The Cancel button does not delete the new device, only cancel edits made in steps 4
and 5.
When a new device is created, it may be necessary to click the
button more than once to receive a ‘Connection successful’
response. In some cases it may be necessary to access the
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server, open RSLinx Classic software,
open RSWho, and drill down to the non-responding device. This
is necessary for ControlLogix controllers when FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix software is logging PLC/SLC mapped tags.
