Did you make sure when you generated the Instance number of the Data block that you used 2 different DB no.

create the db instance from Block type FB number, but use seperate data blocks for each instance. Then montor the or manipulater the Instance DB adress
 
hi,

goto 'Simatic Manager'; press F1 for help-index;
then type in 'Call evrionment'.
You can find a description also here:

To monitor a FB directly with call-up path:
In 'Simatic manager'-'View' change to 'Online';
Choose the program-block where the FB is called.
In register 'Debug' - 'Operation' choose 'Test Operation'.
Now go to the rung where the FB is called and click in
the box (left click) to highlight the box.
Right click --> 'Called Block ' --> choose
'Monitor whith Call-up Path'.
Now you can monitor the FB with the desired DB.
