Security Command (CPU Menu)
Select the
CPU > Options > Security
menu command to change security options.
The controller panel displays the Access Verification dialog. You must enter your
password in this dialog in order to make any changes to the security settings for
the controller.
Note:
The default password is an empty field containing no characters. To enter the
password the first time, press the Enter key.
4.9.3.1 Security
Level
The Security dialog allows you to set levels of password security that limit access
to the controller. The following security access options are provided:
•
Password
: When you select Password, certain controller panel operations
such as changing the operating mode and archiving and restoring a STEP 7
user program, require that the user enter a password.
•
Confirmation
: When you select Confirmation, operating mode changes
require that the user acknowledge a confirmation dialog box.
•
None
: When you select None, no confirmation or password is required.
4.9.3.2 Password
Prompt
Interval
You can set the Password Prompt Interval to a time interval of your choice, from 0
to a maximum of 23 hours, 59 minutes. After you have entered your password, you
are not prompted for it again until this time interval has expired. The default setting
of 0 means that you must enter a password for each protected operation.
Shutting down and starting the controller does not affect the expiration of the
Password Prompt Interval; however, it is reset whenever you shut down the
controller panel. The next time you start the controller panel and access a
password-protected function, you will be prompted for password entry.
