is Copy of <original functional block name>.
4. Select the number of copies of the functional block to be created. The default is 1 copy.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Submit. The selected number of functional blocks and their static and dynamic data points
are added to the bottom of the parent device. If you created more than one functional block copy,
an index is appended to the name of the functional block.
Note: You can only duplicate a static functional block if an instance of the object is available to be
created. This means that you may have to delete an existing instance of a static functional block in
order to create a new one from a copy. If a static instance is not available, an error message appears
above the tree/application frame informing you that insufficient static objects are available, and that no
driver copies were created. The SmartServer automatically deletes the duplicate functional block
To delete a static instance of a functional block, click Settings. In the Global Settings dialog, select
Functional Blocks in the Display Hidden property and then click Close. All the functional blocks
statically defined for the device in the SmartServer tree are shown. Select one or more static functional
blocks, right-click one of the selected functional blocks, select Delete on the shortcut menu, and then
click Submit.
