Introduction 1
1.1 Contents
Purpose of the migration guide
The migration guide contains all necessary information clearly arranged for convenient
migration to the new Comfort Panels. It basically covers the following points:
● Replacing the HMI devices and the differences connected with the process
● Adaptations in the migrated database of the HMI project
Note
The content of the migration guide describes the replacement of a predecessor device
with the corresponding successor from the Comfort series, see "Replacing the
predecessor device with a Comfort HMI device (Page 9)".
If you replace the predecessor device with any HMI device of the Comfort series, this
migration guide can only be used to a limited extent.
Note
This document is only a migration guide. Safety information, as well as the complete
installation and commissioning are described in the operating instructions.
Contents
The migration guide is structured as follows:
● "Introduction"
The "Introduction" section describes which predecessor devices are replaced by a
specific Comfort HMI device and the most important innovations for the Comfort HMI
devices.
● "Replacing an HMI device"
The section "Replacing an HMI device" basically covers the questions that arise when
replacing a predecessor device with the corresponding Comfort HMI device:
– Does the mounting cut-out change?
– Are type and position of the interfaces different?
– Are the slots for the memory cards different?
– Is the soft key assignment different?
– Is the data input different?

1.1 Contents
Migration Guide Comfort Panels
6 Getting Started, 03/2011, A5E03478626-01
● "Migrating an HMI project"
The section "Migrating an HMI project" mainly covers the steps after migration of the
WinCC flexible database that result from the changeover of the HMI device. In addition, it
shows how you implement the new features of the Comfort HMI devices in the WinCC
project:
– Changing the screen format from 4:3 to "Widescreen"
– Setting the address of the HMI device in WinCC
– Configuring and using the energy-saving functions
● "Commissioning the HMI device"
The section "Commissioning the HMI device" describes the revised or new procedures for
commissioning the Comfort HMI devices:
– Transferring the project
– Using the automatic backup
– Restarting the HMI device after malfunction
● "Data transfer from STEP 7"
The section "Data transfer from STEP 7" then displays the options for transfer of
configuration data from STEP 7. The procedure is explained on the basis of two
scenarios.
What the migration guide does not contain
The following contents are not covered by the migration guide or only covered partially:
● The migration guide does not contain any details for the migration of a WinCC flexible
project into a WinCC project.
For more information, refer to the WinCC Information System under "Migrating projects".
● The migration guide does not contain any details on configuration of the HMI device.
For more information, refer to the operating instructions of the HMI device.

1.3 What's new?
More visualization area with display in widescreen format
The Comfort HMI devices all come equipped with a display in widescreen format with screen
diagonals from 11 cm (4.3") to 30 cm (11.8"). This upgrade provides up to 40% more
visualization area compared to displays with 4:3 format. The extended viewing angle makes
it possible to read and safely operate the display from the side.
Cost reduction through energy savings
The Comfort HMI devices all have LED backlighting that can be dimmed up to 100%. The
displays offer high brightness and a good contrast even in the dimmed state. Energy-saving
functions such as screen saver or the support of the PROFIenery protocol will reduce cost
during operation.
Automatic backup through service concept
Automatic backup enables fast replacement of HMI devices with minimum loss of time. The
Comfort HMI devices come equipped with two slots for SD memory cards for this purpose,
one of which can be used for automatic backup.
● Process-relevant data, such as recipes, archives or user administration, are saved on the
data memory card.
● The process visualization and the device settings are saved on the system memory card.
You only need to insert the system memory card to activate automatic backup.
High-quality enclosure and numerous interfaces
All Comfort HMI devices with a display ≥ 7" have a enclosure front made of die-cast
aluminum and an integrated Ethernet switch. The key HMI devices with a tangible pressure
point are especially suited for use in harsh industrial environments. Use the USB ports to
connect external peripheral devices, such as printers or the configuration PC.

Note
Limited comparability based on display size
Because of the change in display size from 4:3 to "Widescreen", you can only compare the
old with the new HMI devices using the display size to a limited extent.
You must use the following table to determine the suitable replacement device.

Assignment of the function keys of predecessor device on Comfort HMI device
When replacing the HMI devices, the function key assignments are imported from the
predecessor device to the Comfort HMI device according to the following rules:
Rule Effect Measure
The assignment of an old
function key is transferred to the
function key at the same
position relative to the display of
the Comfort HMI device.
The functions can be assigned
different numbers on the
Comfort HMI device.
If necessary, edit the description
