How transfer WinCC prj. between PCs without losing data ?

Post by Alex3110 » Wed Aug 23, 2023 1:30 pm

Is it possible to transfer WinCC project many times between 2 PCs without losing data ?

There are 2 PCs with the same type of Win10 and WinCC 7.5 SP1+ Upd5.
One PC (“target PC”) is supposed to be used for RT “runtime” in the future.
The another PC "Development PC" will be used as the main one when developing the project.

Is it possible to create a WinCC project alternately on one PC and then on another, transferring it from PC to PC ?

The main task are :

- not to lose any project data when creating a project on a PC and then transfer it to another PC ;
- after the end of development, it would be possible to transfer the project to the “target” PC, make the final settings and launch the RT runtime into operation.


If so, what reconfigurations will be required when transferring a project from one PC to another?

Do I only need every time on current PC :
- to "Start Server Locally" ;
- to give the WinCC server the name of the current PC using the "Use Local Computer Name" button and reopen the project ?

Nothing else ?

Thanks in advance !
