3.5 Access to password protected objects
Dedicated communication objects are setpoints and commands that are protected by a password against
writing. The set of protected objects is given in the controller configuration and is fixed for a particular controller.
In IG/IS-NT controllers it is possible to specify access levels to protected objects for 8 different users. For each
user a set of access attributes is defined and each of them has his password. The user can gain the right for
writing to 8 groups of objects with different access levels by entering his password. The objects are assigned
into groups in the controller configuration. For example setpoints in the ProcessControl group can be configured
in GenConfig on Setpoints card:
