the current project and automatically changes to "Transfer" mode. The project is transferred
to the HMI device. An error message is displayed on the configuration PC if the connection is
not available or disrupted.
The project is available on the HMI device following successful transfer. The transferred
project is started automatically.

Testing a project
Introduction
You have the following options to test a project:
● Test the project on the configuration PC
You can test a project on a configuration PC, using a simulator. You can find more
detailed information on this in the WinCC online help.
● Offline testing of the project on the HMI device
Offline testing means that communication between the HMI device and controller is down
while the test is being carried out.
● Online testing of the project on the HMI device
Online testing means that the HMI device and the controller communicate with each other
during testing.
Perform the tests, starting with the "Offline test", followed by the "Online test".
Note
You should always test the project on the HMI device on which the project will be used.
Check the following:
1. Check the correct layout of the screens.
2. Check the screen navigation.
3. Check the input objects.
4. Enter the tag values.
The test ensures that the project will run as you intended on the HMI device.
