Upon this command, the dialog to set number of copies opens:

modbus_img92

Names of the objects-copies are formed from a name of the replicated object with adding an incremented index: <name of replicated object>N (if the last characters of the initial object name are some number A, then N=A+1, A+2, etc., otherwise, N=1, 2 etc.) When replicating, all settings of the initial object are copied (including scripts). In addition, the Address parameter is automatically incremented for MODBUS tags (an increment value depends on a tag data type).
