Starting the transfer automatically 
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 configuration PC. 
Automatic transfer is particularly suited for the test phase of a new project because transfer 
is completed without interfering with the HMI device. 
 
Note 
If automatic transfer is activated on the HMI device and a transfer is initiated on the 
configuration PC, the project currently running is automatically stopped. The HMI device then 
automatically switches to "Transfer" mode.
 
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 system. 
 
You can issue a password in the Start Center to restrict access
 to the transfer settings and 
thus avoid unauthorized modifications.
 
●  The project is open in WinCC. 
●  The project is compiled. 
●  The HMI device is connected to a configuration PC. 
●  The data channel parameters are assigned on the HMI device. 
●  The automatic transfer is enabled in the Start Center. 
If you are loading a project to an HMI device for the first time, the "Advanced loading" dialog 
is automatically opened. You configure the appropriate interface parameters in this dialog.  
For further information, refer to the WinCC documentation.  
Proceed as follows: 
1.  If you want to load a project simultaneously to several HMI devices, use multiple selection 
to select all the desired HMI devices in the project tree. 
2.  Select the "Load to device > Software" command in the shortcut menu of an HMI device.
