Overview
Loader
The figure below shows the Loader. It appears briefly when the HMI device starts up.
Figure 6-14 HMI device Loader
The Loader buttons have the following functions:
●
Use the "Transfer" button to set "Transfer" mode on the HMI device.
●
Press the "Start" button to open the project stored on the HMI device.
●
Press "Control Panel" to open the HMI device Control Panel.
The Control Panel is used to configure various settings such as the transfer settings.
The Loader also appears when you close the project.
Password protecting the Control Panel
You can protect the Control Panel from unauthorized access. You can read the settings in
the Control Panel without entering a password but you cannot edit all settings.
This prevents inadvertent wrong operation and increases security for the plant or machine
security because access to the settings is denied.
NOTICE
If the Control Panel password is no longer available, you cannot change settings in the
Control Panel unless you update the operating system.
All data on the HMI device will be overwritten when you update the operating system.
