Starting The Transfer Automatically - Siemens SIMATIC HMI KTP400 Basic Operating Instructions Manual

6.4.3

Starting the transfer automatically

Introduction
If automatic transfer is activated, the HMI device automatically changes to "Transfer" mode
at runtime as soon as a transfer is started on the connected configuration PC.
Automatic transfer is particularly suited for the test phase of a new project because transfer
is completed without interfering with the HMI device.
Note
If automatic transfer is activated on the HMI device and a transfer is initiated on the
configuration 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. Transfer mode can trigger unintentional
actions in the system.
You can issue a password in the Start Center to restrict access to the transfer settings and
thus avoid unauthorized modifications.
Requirements
● The project is open in WinCC.
● The project is compiled.
● The HMI device is connected to a configuration PC.
● The data channel parameters are assigned on the HMI device.
● The automatic transfer is enabled in the Start Center.
Procedure
If you are loading a project to an HMI device for the first time, the "Advanced loading" dialog
is automatically opened. You configure the appropriate interface parameters in this dialog.
For further information, refer to the WinCC documentation.
Proceed as follows:
1. If you want to load a project simultaneously to several HMI devices, use multiple selection
to select all the desired HMI devices in the project tree.
2. Select the "Load to device > Software" command in the shortcut menu of an HMI device.
