Transfer Controller Program and Password-Protect Receiving
Controller
In this scenario, the user needs to transfer user application from controller1 (locked) to
another Micro800 controller with the same catalog number. The transfer of the user
application is done through the Connected Components Workbench software by uploading
from controller1, then changing the target controller in the Micro800 project, and then
downloading to controller2. Finally, controller2 will be locked.
1. In the Project Organizer, click the Discover icon.
The Browse Connections dialog appears.
2. Select target controller1.
3. When requested, enter the controller password for controller1.
4. Build and save the project.
5. Click Disconnect.
6. Power down controller1.
7. Swap controller1 hardware with controller2 hardware.
8. Power up controller2.
9. Click Connect.
10. Select target controller2.
11. Click Download.
12. Lock controller2. See
Configure Controller Password on page 276
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.
IMPORTANT
If the controller has a password locked version 10 or later project, you
cannot access the controller using Connected Components Workbench
software version 9 or earlier. If you use Connected Components
Workbench software version 10 or later to download a version 9 or
earlier project, the password in the controller will be automatically
converted to the old algorithm.
IMPORTANT
If the controller has a password locked version 9 or earlier project and
you use Connected Components Workbench software version 10 or later,
to download a version 10 or later project, the password in the controller
will be automatically converted to the new algorithm.
IMPORTANT
If communication is lost during the download, repeat the download and
verify that the controller is password protected.
