Some notes about Siemens Prosave software
- The “Prosave v14” software is included with WinCC Flexible 2008 or WinCC Flexible SMART V3 SP2. You can check the tool if it is available on your PC.
- We can install a newer version (Prosave v16, Prosave v17…) to replace the older version.
- If you have the Simatic SMART LINE HMI series (Smart line 700, 1000), in default we do not see it on the list. Refer to the previous post to backup/restore the program on Smart Line HMI.
- When you back up a Simatic HMI program with Simatic Prosave, we have a “*.psb” file but we can not edit it. To edit the Simatic HMI program you must have the project file.
