Work with a Locked
Controller
The following workflows are supported on compatible Micro800 controllers (firmware
revision 2) and Connected Components Workbench software version 2.
Upload from a Password-Protected Controller
1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.
2. In the Project Organizer, expand Catalog by clicking the + sign.
3. Select the target controller.
4. Select Upload.
5. When requested, provide the controller password.
Debug a Password-Protected Controller
To debug a locked controller, you have to connect to the controller through the Connected
Components Workbench software and provide the password before you can proceed to debug.
1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.
2. In the Project Organizer, expand Catalog by clicking the + sign.
3. Select the catalog number of your controller.
4. When requested, provide the controller password.
5. Build and save your project.
6. Debug.
Download to a Password-Protected Controller
1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.
2. Click Connect.
3. Select the target controller.
4. When requested, provide the controller password.
5. Build and save the project, if needed.
6. Click Download.
7. Click Disconnect.
ATTENTION:
Connected Components Workbench software version 9 or
earlier with Micro800 controller firmware revision 10 or later
If a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 10 or later is locked using the
new password algorithm introduced in Connected Components Workbench
software version 10 or later, it cannot be accessed using Connected
Components Workbench software version 9 or earlier. Users are advised to
upgrade to the latest version of Connected Components Workbench
software.
IMPORTANT
When using Connected Components Workbench software version 9
or earlier:
• You cannot upload a version 10 or later project from the controller.
• You can upload a version 9 or earlier project from the controller if it was
downloaded to the controller using Connected Components Workbench
software version 10 or later, but you cannot go online.
