6.4.3  Starting automatic transfer 
Introduction  
If automatic transfer is activated, the HMI device automatically changes to "Transfer" mode 
at runtime as soon as a transfer is started on the connected configuring PC. 
 
 
Note 
With automatic transfer, the HMI device only changes into "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. Transfer mode can trigger unintentional 
actions in the plant. 
You can issue a password in the Control Panel to restrict access to the transfer settings 
and thus avoid unauthorized modifications.
