Note
The content of the migration guide describes the replacement of a predecessor device
with the corresponding successor from the Comfort series, see "Replacing the
predecessor device with a Comfort HMI device (Page 9)".
If you replace the predecessor device with any HMI device of the Comfort series, this
migration guide can only be used to a limited extent.
Note
This document is only a migration guide. Safety information, as well as the complete
installation and commissioning are described in the operating instructions.
The "Introduction" section describes which predecessor devices are replaced by a
specific Comfort HMI device and the most important innovations for the Comfort HMI
devices.
The section "Replacing an HMI device" basically covers the questions that arise when
replacing a predecessor device with the corresponding Comfort HMI device:
– Does the mounting cut-out change?
– Are type and position of the interfaces different?
– Are the slots for the memory cards different?
– Is the soft key assignment different?
– Is the data input different?
