Setting transfer mode

Introduction
You can start the "Transfer" mode manually or automatically on the HMI device.
If the automatic transfer is enabled, the HMI device automatically switches to "Transfer"
mode when the following event occurs during runtime: You start project transfer on the
connected configuring PC.
Note
With automatic transfer, the HMI device only switches to "Transfer" mode when the project is
running on the HMI device.
Automatic transfer is particularly suited for the test phase of a new project since transfer is
completed without interfering with the HMI device.
NOTICE
If automatic transfer is activated on the HMI device and a transfer is initiated on the
configuring 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. The transfer mode can trigger
unintentional reactions in the plant.
You can issue a password in the Control Panel to restrict access to the transfer settings
and thus avoid unauthorized modifications.
Requirement
● The Control Panel is open.
● The Runtime software is terminated.
