Password protection
General
In the menu "System Setup" the operation can be restricted or enabled in the item
"password". On delivery, the unit is in the user mode (= password level 1). By en-
tering an arbitrary invalid password (e.g. 1000) all menu items that allow settings to
be changed will be blocked. This blocking is the password level 0 (end user mode).
CAUTION
Access to controllere menus by unauthorised users
Risk for persons and plant/machine by access of unauthorised users to special
menus of the controllere.
►
Change the password to the level 0 again as soon as the work in a higher
password level has been completed.
