Operating modes
The HMI device may be in the following operating modes:
● Offline
● Online
● Transfer
Changing the operating mode
The configuration engineer must have configured an appropriate operating element to allow
a change of the operating mode on the HMI device during ongoing operation.
Refer to your system documentation to find any additional information on this topic.
In this mode, there is no communication between the HMI device and the controller. Even
though the HMI device can be operated, it cannot exchange data with the controller.
In this mode, the HMI device and the controller communicate with each other. You can
operate the system on the HMI device according to your system configuration.
In this mode, you can transfer a project from the configuration PC to the HMI device or
backup and restore HMI device data, for example.
The following options are available for setting "Transfer" mode on the HMI device:
● When the HMI device starts up
Start "Transfer" mode manually in the HMI device Loader.
● During ongoing operation
Start the "Transfer" mode manually within the project using an operating element. The
HMI device toggles to "Transfer" mode when automatic mode is set and a transfer is
initiated on the configuration PC.
