Commissioning a project

5.1

Overview

Configuration phase
A project – the process image of the working process – is produced during configuration to
visualize automated working processes. The process displays for the project contain
displays for values and alarms 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 a configuration PC or from an external storage medium
● Restore from a PC using ProSave
In this case, a backed up project is transferred from a PC to the HMI device. The
configuration software does not have to be installed on this PC.
● Insert a system memory card containing data from an HMI device of the same type
You can find more information under "Using automatic backup (Page 146)"
● Restore a backup/restore file of an external storage medium from an HMI device of the
same type (Restore)
Commissioning and recommissioning
Initial commissioning and recommissioning differ in the following respects:
● During initial commissioning, there is still no project on the HMI device.
The HMI device also has this state after update of the operating system.
● When recommissioning, any project already on the HMI device is replaced.
