Chapter 3 Using Add-On Instructions
If the Source Protection attribute is not listed, then the instruction is not
protected.
You can copy an Add-On Instruction into your project when it exists in another
Logix Designer project. After you copy the Add-On Instruction, you can use the
instruction as is or rename it, modify it, and then use it in your programs.
Important: Use caution when copying and pasting components between different versions of Logix Designer
programming application. Logix Designer application only supports pasting to the same version
or newer version of Logix Designer application. Pasting to an earlier version of Logix Designer
application is not supported. When pasting to an earlier version, the paste action may succeed,
but the results may not be as expected.
Tip: When copying and pasting Add-On Instructions, consider these guidelines:
• You cannot paste a safety Add-On Instruction into a standard routine.
• You cannot paste a safety Add-On Instruction into a safety project that has been safety-locked or one
that has a safety task signature.
