Functions

ProSave Service Tool
The ProSave Service Tool is supplied with WinCC flexible. ProSave provides all the
necessary functions to transfer data between the configuration computer and HMI device.
These include:
• Saving data (backup)
• Retrieving data (restore)
• Updating the operating system (OS update)
• Transferring authorizations
• Transferring options
ProSave can operate together with WinCC flexible or as a standalone tool on the
configuration computer. Further information on ProSave is available in the "WinCC flexible"
user's guide.
ProSave functions in WinCC flexible
ProSave is normally installed on the configuration computer together with WinCC flexible.
The entire function range of ProSave is available within WinCC flexible in the "Project >
Transfer" menu. In this way, all the necessary specifications, e.g. target device and
download settings, are assumed from the project.
Standalone ProSave
ProSave can also be installed as a standalone application. In this case, the settings relating
to the HMI device and the transfer must be defined in the ProSave user interface and match
the HMI device settings.
The advantage of standalone ProSave is that backup and restore can be performed without
WinCC flexible via the following transfer channels:
• Serial
• MPI/PROFIBUS DP
• USB
• Ethernet
