4.9.3.3 Change
Password
Click the Change Password button to display the Change Password dialog.
Note:
If you create a password, but set the security level to None (disabling the
password), you still need to enter the configured password in the Access
Verification dialog before you can access the Security dialog box again.
Warning
Running the controller without confirmation or password protection increases
the risk that an operator may change the controller mode inadvertently, which
could cause the process or equipment to operate unpredictably, resulting in
potential damage to equipment and/or serious injury to personnel.
Exercise caution to ensure that you do not inadvertently change the operating
mode or permit unauthorized persons to access the machine or process.
Always install a physical emergency stop circuit for your machine or process.
