Global Configurations Library - Distributing a Global Configuration

  1. Select Library in the left-side menu bar.

  2. Go to Configuration library .

    The workspace shows a list of Global configurations.

  3. Select the configuration check box . Select Manage and then select Distribute.

    It is only possible to distribute between controllers of the same type and same software versions.

  4. Use the check box to select each configuration which is to be included in the distribution.

  5. Select one or more controllers in the right-side of the dialog window. Select Add in the dialog window.

    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, there are two options:

    • Auto revert: Changes in the controller will not apply to the configuration, the global configurations will still be valid.

    • Unlink: Changes in the controller will apply to the configuration 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 configurations library.

All affected controllers will show the Push indicator in the Plant structure workspace.
