IEDs in Plant Structure can be exported to templates that can be used to create new IEDs including the IED application configuration, graphical display configuration, communication mappings and parameters.
In Plant Structure, right-click a bay and then select New > Create from template.
Select the IED from the list of the available object types.
Click the icon on the right column in the list of available templates.
The Template Properties dialog box opens.
Check the template information and click Close to close the window.
In the Create New Object from Template dialog box, click Create to insert the IED in the bay.
Set up the IED following the steps in Configuration Wizard.
The steps and settings available depend on the IED.
After a template IED has been imported, the IP address, the Caption in IED Object Properties and the technical key that corresponds to the physical IED have to be changed.
