NOTICE
If the automatic transfer has been activated on the HMI device and a transfer is initiated on
the configuring PC, the project currently running is automatically stopped. The HMI device
then automatically switches to "Transfer" mode.
After the commissioning phase, deactivate the automatic transfer so that the HMI device
cannot be inadvertently switched to transfer mode. The transfer mode can trigger
unintentional actions in the device.
You can issue a password in the control panel to restrict access to the transfer settings and
thus avoid unauthorized modifications.
Requirements
● The project *.hmi is opened in WinCC flexible.
● The HMI device is connected to a configuring PC.
● The data channel is configured on the HMI device.
● The automatic transfer is activated in the data channel for the transfer.
● The project is started on the HMI device.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. On the configuring PC, select the "Transfer settings" command in the menu "Project >
Transfer" in WinCC flexible.
The "Select devices for transfer" dialog opens.
2. Select the HMI device in the left area of the dialog.
3. Select the type of connection between the HMI device and the configuring PC.
Set the connection parameters.
4. Set the transfer parameters in the right area of the dialog.
5. If you wish to transfer the compressed project file together with the runtime project to the
HMI device:
Select the "Enable backtransfer" check box.
6. Start transfer in WinCC flexible with "Transfer".
The configuring PC checks the connection to the HMI device. The HMI device shuts
down the current project and automatically switches to "Transfer" mode. The project is
transferred to the HMI device. If the connection is not available or is defective, an error
message is displayed on the configuring PC.
Result
When the transfer is completed successfully, the project can be found on the HMI device.
The transferred project is then started automatically.
