Controller Security Chapter 9
Back Up and Restore a Password-Protected Controller
In this workflow, user application will be backed up from a Micro800 controller
that is locked to a memory plug-in device.
1.
In the Project Organizer, click the Discover icon.
The Browse Connections dialog appears.
2.
Select the target controller.
3.
When requested, enter the controller password.
4.
Back up controller contents to the memory module.
The project in the memory module is now password locked.
5.
Remove the memory module from controller1 and insert into controller2.
6.
Restore contents from the memory module to controller2.
This operation succeeds only if:
• the controller has no password – the project can be restored to the
controller by setting the “Load on power up” option for the memory
module to Load Always.
• the controller’s password matches the project’s password.
Configure Controller
Password
To set, change, and clear controller password, see the quickstart instructions
Configure Controller Password on page 261 .
IMPORTANT
Even though the password matches, the restore operation will fail if
either one of the controller or project in the memory module is protected
using the old password algorithm, and the other is protected using the
new password algorithm. You can flash update the controller using the
Reset option to clear the password before restoring the project to
the controller.
IMPORTANT
After creating or changing the controller password, you need to power
down the controller in order for the password to be saved.
