2024-05-03Last updated

To save time on configuration, you can add new interface modules by duplicating the settings of an existing interface module, and then make changes if required.

Before you begin

If you want to clone your interface modules, but you have already created the new ones, then delete the new ones.

Procedure

  1. Click Configuration > Hardware .
  2. In the Hardware configuration section, select the interface module you want to clone from the hardware tree.
  3. Click Two squares overlapping..
    The icon for cloning interface modules highlighted in the Interfaces column of the hardware configuration tree.
  4. In the Clone hardware dialog box, add all the interface modules you want to add based on the selected model, and then click Save.
    You only need to specify the physical address of each new interface module and the channel it is connected to. All other settings are copied from the model interface module.

After you finish

Modify the settings of the cloned interface modules as required.
