Procedure for restore

Proceed as follows:

1. On the configuring PC, select the "Communication settings" command in the menu

"Project > Transfer" in WinCC flexible.

The "Communication Settings" dialog opens.

2. Select the type of HMI device.

3. Select the type of connection between the HMI device and the configuring PC.

4. Set the connection parameters.

5. Close the dialog with "OK".

6. Select the "Restore" command in the menu "Project > Transfer" in WinCC flexible.

The "Restore Settings" dialog opens.

7. Select the "*.psb" backup file to be restored from the "Open" field.

You can see the HMI device for which the backup file was created and the type of backup

data the file contains.

8. Set "Transfer" mode on the HMI device.

If automatic transfer mode is enabled on the HMI device, the device automatically sets

"Transfer" mode when a restore operation is initiated.

9. Start the restore operation in WinCC flexible with "OK" on the configuring PC.

If there are license keys both on the HMI device and in the backup, a dialog will appear.

Use this dialog to establish whether you want to overwrite the license keys or abort the

restore process.

– If necessary, abort the backup and first back up the HMI device's license keys.

– Then restart the restore process.

Follow the instructions in WinCC flexible.

A status view opens to indicate the progress of the operation.

Result

When the restore is successfully completed, the data backed up on the configuring PC is

now on the HMI device.
