ation of a DB for an instruction or an FB that is in an FB.

You can switch the association between a single-
instance DB and a multi-instance DB.

You can create an instance DB (if an instance DB is
missing or not available).
You can access the "Change call type" command either
by right
-clicking the instruction or FB in the program edi-
tor or
by selecting the "Block call" command from the
"Options" menu.

you to select a single
-instance
or multi
-instance DB. You can
also select specific DBs from a
drop
-down list of available DBs.
