Commissioning a project

6.1

Overview

Configuration phase
A project – the process image of the working process – is created during configuration to
visualize automated working processes. The process displays for the project contain
displays for values and messages which provide information about process statuses. The
process control phase follows the configuration phase.
Process control phase
The project must be transferred to the HMI device if it is to be used in process control.
Another prerequisite for process control is that the HMI device is connected online to a
controller. Current working processes - operating and observing - can then be subject to
process control.
Transferring the project to the HMI device
You can transfer a project to an HMI device as follows:
● Transfer from the configuration PC
● Restore from a PC using ProSave
In this case, an archived project is transferred from a PC to the HMI device. The
configuration software does not need to be installed on the PC.
ProSave is a service tool that enables you to manage data on your HMI device. With
ProSave, you can update the operating system of the HMI device, for example, or backup
its data.
● Pack & Go
A project is transferred by means of a storage medium to the HMI device using a PC with
ProSave. The configuration software does not need to be installed on the PC.
Commissioning and recommissioning
Initial startup and recommissioning differ in the following respects:
● With initial startup, there is not project on the HMI device.
The HMI device is also in this state after the operating system has been updated.
● When recommissioning, any project already on the HMI device is replaced.
