324 Appendix A - Setting LonMaker Default Options
Copy Values on
Functional Block
Copy Copies CP values when creating a new functional block from a
master shape or from another functional block.
This check box is only available if the Enable Configuration
Properties check box has been selected, and it is selected by default.
Scope: Current network, all LonMaker computers
Relax CP Scope
Matching Enables the LonMaker tool to re-attempt the validation of the
creation of a functional block from a custom master shape or the
replication of configuration property values from one functional
block to another using a lower scope selector if the initial validation
operation fails using the defined scope selector.
For example, if you attempt to create a functional block from a
custom master shape that has a defined scope selector of 6 but the
validation operation fails, the LonMaker tool will then try to validate
the functional block again using scope 3. If the validation re-attempt
succeeds, the operation will be allowed.
Scope: All networks, current LonMaker computer
CP Value Source
New Devices Selects the source of configuration property values for new devices.
You have two choices:
• Defaults. The default configuration property values from the
device template will be copied to the device. The default
configuration property values in the device template may have
been copied from the original manufacturer’s device interface
(XIF) file, or may have been updated from a device. This is the
default
• Device. The current configuration properties in the device will
be kept and will be copied to the device template.
A new device may have settings different from the defaults if the
device configuration properties were set on a network other than the
current network.
Scope: Current network, current LonMaker computer
Existing Devices Selects the source of configuration property values for existing
devices. You have three choices:
• Database. The configuration property values stored in the LNS
database will be copied to the device when a device is
commissioned, replaced, or loaded. This is the default
• Defaults. The default configuration property values from the
device template will be copied to the device when a device is
commissioned, replaced, or loaded.
• Device. The current configuration properties in the device will
be kept and will be copied to the device template when a device
is commissioned, replaced, or loaded.
