5 Transferring the Configuration

18

When you download the project for the first time to an operator panel, the
"Extended download to device" dialog opens automatically. In this dialog you
define the protocol and the interface or the target path for the project depending on
the operator panel.
5.1 Extended Download to Device
The menu item "Extended download to device..." is called automatically only with
the first project transfer of the configuration.
You can call the "Extended download to device" dialog anytime by means of the
menu command "Online > Extended download to device...".
The dialog is required...
When you want to see all the accessible devices in the subnet, for example.
When you want to make changes to the PG/PC interface prior to transferring
the configuration.
When a different address is set on the operator panel to be reached and you
still want to do a project transfer.

Options for Connections to Target Systems
If the devices of the project are connected over different subnets, you must assign
the PG/PC interface an appropriate network access in each case in order to be
able to establish an online connection to the target systems. The interfaces below
are supported automatically:
MPI
PROFIBUS
Industrial Ethernet (ISO and TCP/IP)
You can parameterize the interfaces to different extents.
Please refer to the WinCC Information System to see which parameterization
options are available.

You can call the interface configuration in the "Extended download to device"
menu, for example. The icon for opening the interface configuration is located next
to the drop-down list box of the PG/PC interface.

If you let the mouse pointer dwell on the interface configuration icon, a tooltip
opens, which you can use to call additional information.

Alternatively, in the project tree under "Online", you can right-click the required
interface and select the "Properties..." command in the pop-up menu.
6 Tips and Error Clearing


This chapter is designed to help you if problems should arise when transferring the
configuration.
6.1 A Connection to the Operator Panel Cannot be
Established
If a connection to the operator panel cannot be established, first check the points
below.
Cable
Check the cable connection between configuration computer and operator
panel.
Check the bus connector. In particular the switch for the bus terminating
resistors. Normally, the bus terminating resistor should be enabled if only
one cable enters the MPI/PROFIBUS connector.
Addresses
Check the address set on the operator panel compared with the address
set in the configuration.
Check the network settings on the operator panel compared with the
settings in the configuration (baud rate and highest station address (HSA)).
Interface configuration (PG/PC interface)
Check the settings of the PG/PC interface. Refer here to section 5.3.
If after running through these checks there is still no connection established, then
check the point below.


24

6.2 Panel Not Displayed in the "Extended download to
device" Dialog Window
If there is no connection to the operator panel displayed in the "Extended download
to device" dialog window and you have already run the checks listed in section 6.1,
then have all the network nodes on the subnet displayed.
The figure below shows the "Extended download to device" dialog with the "failed"
connection setup.
Figure 6-1

Select the "Show all accessible devices" option field and then click the "Refresh"
button if appropriate.
The table shows all the accessible devices in the target subnet (see figure below).



Figure 6-2

In this example, the operator panel to be accessed has the address 10. Mark the
device and then click the "Load" button. The configuration is transferred to the
operator panel.
6.3 Transfer Settings on the Operator Panel are
Overwritten
You have made transfer settings on the operator panel. After downloading a
project to the operator panel, the transfer settings are overwritten and you cannot
make another project download.
Make sure that you have assigned a subnet to the operator panel in the
configuration.
Check the settings you have made in the configuration under "Connections".
The parameters stored there are adopted by the operator panel after a project
download.


26

6.4 Operator Panel Does Not Change Automatically to
Transfer Mode
If the operator panel does not switch automatically to Transfer Mode, then run
through the points listed below for the operator panel.
If messages are in the operator panel (message window is open), then close
the relevant message window prior to project transfer.
Check in the Control Panel whether "Remote Control" is enabled under
Transfer Settings.
If you do not want to enable "Remote Control", then switch the operator panel
"manually" into Transfer Mode by means of the Control Panel.
