Changing Transfer Settings; Configuring The Data Channel - Siemens SIMATIC KP400 Comfort Operating Instructions Manual

4.4.11

Changing transfer settings

4.4.11.1

Configuring the data channel

In the transfer settings of the HMI device, set the following:
● Releasing and locking a data channel
● Enabling and disabling automatic transfer
● Configuring data channels
If you lock the data channels, the HMI device is protected against unintentional overwriting of
the project data and HMI device image. To download a project to the HMI device, the data
channels must be released and configured.
Requirement
The Control Panel is open.
Unintentional transfer mode
Unintentional transfer mode could cause unintentional actions to be triggered in the plant.
Ensure that the configuring PC does not inadvertently switch the HMI device to transfer
mode when the project is open.
Note
If the HMI device is in "Transfer" mode while changes are made to the transfer settings, the
settings only go into effect after the transfer function is restarted.
This may occur if the Control Panel is opened to change the transfer properties in an active
project.
