Confirmation prompt for selecting the duplication mode

Options:

  • Copy reference. A new step will call the same actions.: If the step is copied in SFC, then the link to the step action(s) is also copied. The steps copied by each other will therefore call the same actions.

  • Copy implementation. New action objects are created for a new step.: This means that the step actions for a copied step are "embedded". By default, the generated action objects are displayed below an SFC box in the device tree or POUs view. These objects contains a copy of the original implementation code of the respective action.

    The display of the "embedded" objects can be enabled or disabled in the tree by means of the Show Embedded Objects and Hide Embedded Objects commands in the context menu of an SFC object.
