Fieldbus Configuration Library - Distributing a Global Fieldbus Configuration
Select Library in the left-side menu bar.
Go to Global fieldbus library .
The workspace shows a list of Global fieldbus configurations.
Select the check box for the fieldbus configuration to distribute. Select Manage then Distribute from the drop-down menu.
It is only possible to distribute between controllers of the same type and same software versions.
The Distribute Global Configurations dialog window opens.
Select one or more controllers in the right-side of the dialog window. Select Add.
Any updates to the global configuration will update the distributed copies. Changes in the global configuration will apply to the selected controllers.
If local changes are made in the controller or web GUI, the two options below are available:
Auto revert: Changes in the controller will not apply to the global fieldbus configuration, the global configurations will still be valid.
Unlink: Changes in the controller will apply to the fieldbus configuration in the controller, and the link to the global configuration will be cut. As a result, the global configuration is immediately removed from the distribution list to the controller.
The changes are auto saved to the global fieldbus configurations library.
All affected controllers will show the Push indicator in the Plant structure workspace.
