the type of device).
If Windows 7 or Windows 8 are installed on the configuration PC, the USB transfer channel is
2) supported. If you install Windows 10 on the configuration PC, the USB transfer channel is not
supported.
Connection via Ethernet
If you want to use the name of the device for connections via Ethernet, you have to enter the IP address
and device name in the "hosts" file on the configuration PC. This file is contained in the directory
"Windows\System32\drivers\etc".
Connection via USB
If you use the connection via USB, install the driver supplied on the engineering systems product DVD
on the configuration PC.
If you install Windows 10 on the configuration PC, the "USB" transfer channel is not available. Use
other transfer channels to transfer the project data, for example, the "Industrial Ethernet" or "PROFIBUS
DP" channel. This restriction applies for the following devices:
l Basic Panels: KP300 Basic, KP400 Basic, TP1500 Basic
l Panels: OP and TP of the 70 Series, 177 Series and 270 Series
l Multi Panels: Multi Panels of the 170 Series, 270 Series and 370 Series:
l Mobile Panels: 170 Series and 270 Series
Connection via MPI
The OP 73 HMI device does not support the "Restore" via MPI function. The system will output a
general error message if you select this function.
Backing up and restoring data
l Data backup (backup/restore)

l Device-based dependency of the data backup
l Backing up and restoring data
Data backup (backup/restore)
Archiving data with ProSave
ProSave conveniently supports the central data archiving. You can thus quickly resume operation after a
system failure or when a device was replaced. The backed-up data is simply transferred to the new target
device and thus restored to its original state.
Note
For some devices a backup/restore can be performed independently of ProSave by backing up the data
directly from the device to an external storage medium. For additional information, refer to the
appropriate product manuals.
A backup can be made on any storage medium, e.g. on a data server. For Windows CE devices, a
compressed file with the extension *.psb is created during backup. For graphics and line devices, a
compressed file with the extension *.psr is created.
Types of backup
ProSave supports different types of backups, dependent on the HMI device.
l Complete backup with licenses:

Firmware, configuration, recipe data, user management data, licenses
l Complete backup with licenses:

Firmware, configuration, recipe data, user management data, licenses
l Complete backup:
Firmware, configuration, recipe data, user management data
Since no licenses are backed up, authorizations and license keys are lost when a complete backup
is performed.
l Complete backup:
Firmware, configuration, recipe date, user management data
Since no licenses are backed up, authorization and license keys are lost when a complete backup
is performed.
l Firmware/Configuration
Firmware and configuration
l Recipes
l Recipes from the device memory
l Recipes (CSV format)
l User management
User management data
Note
When operating with line devices, restore recipes program checks whether the configured recipe
structure matches the data records backed up on the device. If the recipes to be restored deviate from
the configured structure, the program generates an error message with reference to the corresponding
recipe number and then restarts the device.
Device-based dependency of the data backup
HMI devices of the series 177, 277 and 377 and Comfort Panel
License keys are included in the backup. During the Restore ProSave checks whether the license keys
are available on the HMI device and in the backup data. You have the following options in this situation:
l If you want to backup the license keys of the HMI device first, cancel the Restore operation .
l Continue the restore operation if you want to overwrite the license keys of the HMI device.
A "complete restore" operation irrevocably overwrites all existing device data, including the operating
system.
All installed options are included in the backup. The program always backs up all data of the add-ons
which are retained after "POWER OFF".
If the restore operation is interrupted, you must first download the operating system again to the HMI
device via the serial interface or via the Ethernet interface by using the "Reset to factory settings"
mechanism before you can initiate a new restore operation.

Transferring authorizations
Principle
Note
The transfer of authorizations is not supported under Windows 7.
Some options for HMI devices are provided with license protection. You transfer the authorization from
the computer to the device with a license disk and you can also transfer it back to the disk again, e.g.
before an operating system update.
The return transfer of the authorization can only be performed via the disk, from which the authorization
was installed or on which it is still installed.
Note
HMI devices which are only supported as of WinCC flexible 2005 use the license keys for licensing.
Use Automation License Manager to transfer the licenses, as ProSave cannot be used to license these
devices.

8. To remove an option, select the option to remove and click the "<<" button.
Note
If you transfer an option to a device without a project, the following message may appear once the
transfer is complete: "Could not run application! Starting transfer".
This message refers only to the missing configuration. The option is transferred without error.
Note
In order to remove the "Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with USB support" option, ensure that no
UPS is connected.
Updating the operating system

l Reloading the operating system – serial connection
l Reloading the operating system – Ethernet connection
Introduction
Operating system updates are not possible for the following HMI devices:
l C7-633, C7-634
l OP7, OP17, TD17
l OP27, TP27, OP37, TP37
The current operating system of the HMI device is also installed on the configuration PC when the
engineering system is installed.
Note
Updating the operating system deletes all data on the target device.
If you perform an operating system update with "Reset to factory settings", all license keys are also
deleted.
You should therefore transfer authorizations and license keys back to the license disk or to the storage
location of the license keys beforehand.
You should export saved recipe data and user management data saved on the internal flash memory to
an external data memory and then reload it to the HMI device after the operating system has been
transferred. For additional instructions, refer to the HMI device manual.
You must distinguish between two cases when updating the operating system:
l There is already an operating system on the target device. In this case, you can update the
operating system without activating the mechanism "Reset to factory settings".
When the operating system is updated, the communication between the configuration PC and the
target device takes place via the operating system of the target device.
l There is no operating system on the target device. In this case, activate the setting "Reset to
factory settings".
ProSave communicates directly with the boot loader of the target device. Communication is
possible regardless of whether an operating system is present on the target device. After the
transfer has been started in ProSave, the target device must be switch off and on again.
Principle
The operating system of an HMI device can be updated with ProSave. Due to the size of the image and
the Baud rate available with MPI/PROFIBUS DP, the image transfer via Profibus can take a very long
time. Therefore, transfer operating systems via USB or Ethernet.
If the transfer of the operating system is interrupted before completion, there is no longer an operating
system on the target device. In this case, the only way to load an operating system is to load with the
"Reset to factory settings" function enabled.
The BasicPlus panels are exceptions to this (KTP400 BasicPlus PN, KTP700 BasicPlus DP, KTP700
BasicPlus PN, KTP900 BasicPlus PN, KTP1200 BasicPlus DP and KTP1200 BasicPlus). With these
devices, a complete operating system image is loaded on the target device even when the operating
system transfer has been interrupted.
Note
An operating system transfer deletes all data on the target device, including existing authorizations and
license keys. You should therefore transfer the authorizations or license keys back to the license disk or
to the storage location of the license keys.
You should export saved recipe data and user management data saved on the internal flash memory to
an external data memory and then reload it to the HMI device after the operating system has been
transferred. For additional instructions, refer to the HMI device manual.
Procedure
type.
mode.
5. Switch to the "OS Update" tab.
A suitable operating system image may already be set under "Image path". The field below
shows all devices that support the operating system and the version of the operating system.
6. Press the "Device status" button to view the current version of the operating system on the
target device.
7. Select the operating system or an operating system other than the one currently set.
8. Click on the "Update OS" button to start the transfer.
This operation can take some time, depending on the connection selected.
Reloading the operating system – serial connection
Principle
Activate the setting "Reset to factory settings" to load an operating system onto an HMI device that does
not yet contain an operating system.
Procedure
1. Switch off power to the HMI device.
2. Connect the target device to a serial port of the configuration PC by way of serial cable.
4. Select a device type.
5. Select "Serial (via RS232/PPI Multi-Master Cable)" in the "Connection" area.
You can specify additional connection settings in the "Connection parameters" area.
7. Enable "Reset to factory settings".
8. Select the HMI device image file "*.img" under "Image path".
The HMI device image files can be found in the installation folder or on the product DVD of
the Engineering System.
When the HMI device image file is opened successfully, information on the image version is
displayed in the output area.
9. Run the operating system update with "Update OS"
10. Switch on the power supply of the HMI device.
11. Follow the ProSave instructions.

Reloading the operating system – Ethernet connection
Principle
Activate the setting "Reset to factory settings" to load an operating system onto an HMI device that does
not yet contain an operating system.
Requirement
You require the MAC address of the HMI device and a properly set up PG/PC interface on the
configuration PC before you can restore an HMI device to the factory settings using Ethernet.
Note
Do not use a dynamic IP configuration for "Reset to factory settings".
Define an IP address which the HMI device is going to receive from the configuration PC during the
update process.
Enter the IP address and name of the HMI device in the "hosts" file on the configuration PC. You can
find this file in the following directory:
"Windows\System32\drivers\etc"
If you have already used the HMI device, use the existing IP address for "Reset to factory settings".
Note
Resetting to factory settings for Comfort Panels
If you wish to carry out a "Reset to factory settings" for a Comfort Panel, you need to select the
function "Prepare for Reset" in the Control Panel on the HMI device beforehand:
"Control Panel > OP > Device > Reboot > Prepare for Reset"
Finding the MAC address of the HMI device
The MAC address is briefly output to the screen after you start the HMI device. You can also find the
MAC address as follows:
1. Start the HMI device and open the Control Panel.
2. Double-click on "PROFINET".
3. Read the MAC address of the HMI from the "MAC-Adress:" area.
Setting the PG/PC interface on the configuration PC
1. Select the command "Set PG/PC Interface" in the Control Panel.
2. Select "S7ONLINE (STEP7) -> TCP/IP" from the "Access point of the application" area.
3. Select the interface which is connected to the HMI device from the "Interface parameter
assignment used" area.
4. Confirm your entries.
Procedure
1. Switch off power to the HMI device.
3. Select the device type and select "Ethernet" under "Connection".
4. Enter an IP address.
6. Enable "Reset to factory settings".
An input box opens where you can enter the MAC address.
