Converting projects between different HMI devices
Project conversion from different HMI device models is supported, however, some manual operations may be required if the project uses features not supported in the destination device.
Guideline
Before converting a project have a look if some unsupported features are present (see "HMI devices capabilities"), and adjust your project by removing the unsupported features before converting the project.
In particular:
- Verify limitations and features not supported by the new HMI device (see "Table of functions and limits" for details).
- Remove unsupported widgets, actions, system variables, protocols, project properties.
- If the project uses external storage, verify if the same storage path is still available.
- Adjust OS-specific external applications or paths.
- If necessary, reduce project size according to the new HMI device type limitations (see "Limitations" for details).
- Since HMI devices are based on different hardware platforms with different CPU speed, RAM memory size, cache size, make sure to check project boot time and page loading time for each page in the project.
- Verify JavaScript code for OS-specific operations.
