Table 40: Parameters for User Accounts in the PES User Management Scheme

Setting up User Accounts
A user with administrator rights can access to all user accounts.
Observe the following points when setting up user accounts:
Make sure that at least one user account is assigned with administrator rights. Define a
password for the user account with administrator rights.
After a user account was created in the user management, its password must be used to
access and edit it.
In SILworX, use the
Verification
function to check the created user account.
The new user accounts are valid once the code has been generated and a download has
been performed to load the project into the controller. All the user accounts previously saved,
e.g., the default settings, are no longer valid.
