Transferring data

6.1

Overview

Configuration phase
In the configuration phase, the automation process is visualized with the configuration
software in the form of a project. The plant screens of the project contain operating elements
and display controls for values and alarms which provide information about process
statuses. After the configuration phase, the project is transferred to HMI device, followed by
the process control phase.
Transferring the project to the HMI device
The project must be transferred to the HMI device to be used in process control. You have
the following options for the transfer:
● Transfer the project from a configuration PC to the HMI device, see section
"Transferring a project with WinCC (Page 125)".
● Insert a prepared system memory card from an identical HMI device, see section
"Automatic backup (Page 108)".
● Restore the backup file of an identical HMI device from an external storage medium, see
section "Restore (Page 112)".
