Saving And Restoring User Settings

Recording setup and operations parameter settings

for future reference is very important. If you uninten-

tionally change these, you will need to program the

correct settings back into the controller to return the

equipment to operational condition.

After you program the controller and verify prop-

er operation, use User Save Set [USr;S] (Setup Page,

Global Menu) to save the settings into either of two

files in a special section of memory. If the settings in

the controller are altered and you want to return the

controller to the saved values, use User Restore Set
[USr;r]

(Setup Page, Global Menu) to recall one of

the saved settings.

Note:

Perform the above procedure when you are sure that

all the correct settings are programmed into the mod-

ule. Saving the settings overwrites any previously

saved collection of settings. Be sure to document all

of the module settings.

Using Lockout to Hide Pages and Menus

If unintentional changes to parameter settings might

raise safety concerns or lead to downtime, your can

use the lockout feature to make them more secure.

Each of the menus in the Factory Page and each

of the pages, except the Factory Page, has a security

level assigned to it. You can change the read and

write access to these menus and pages by using the

parameters in the Lockout Menu (Factory Page).

Lockout Menu

There are three parameters in the Lockout Menu

that can be used to restrict access to various menu's

in the RMA module that can be found in the Factory

Page, Security [`loC] Setting Menu:
• Lock Operations Page [LoC;o] sets the security lev-

el for the Operations Page (default: 2).

Note:

The Home and Setup Page lockout levels are fixed and

cannot be changed.

• Read Lockout Security [rLoC] determines which

pages can be accessed. The user can access the se-

lected level and all lower levels. (default: 5)
• Write Lockout Security [SLoC] determines which

parameters within accessible pages can be written

to. The user can write to the selected level and all

lower levels. (default: 5)

• Locked Access Level [loC;l] determines user level

menu visibility when an RUI is in use.

Note:

The menu lockout function applies only when an RUI

(optional hardware) is in use. This setting has no im-

pact when using EZ-ZONE Configurator software.

The table below represents the various levels of lock-

out for the Write Lockout Security prompt and the

Read Lockout Security prompt. The Write Lockout

has 6 levels (0-5) of security where the Read Lockout

has 5 (1-5). Therefore, level "0" applies to Set Lockout

only. "Y" equates to yes (can write/read) where "N"

equates to no (cannot write/read). The colored cells

simply differentiate one level from the next.

The following examples show how the Lockout Menu

parameters may be used in applications:

1. If Set Lockout Security [SLoC] is set to 0 and

Read Lockout Security [rLoC] is set to 5, all

pages will be accessible, however, changes will

not be allowed on any pages or menus, with one

exception: Set Lockout Security [SLoC] can be

changed to a higher level.

2. The operator wants to read all the menus and not

allow any parameters to be changed.

In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Read

Lockout Security [rLoC] to 5 and Set Lockout

Security [SLoC] to 0.

3. The operator wants to read the Operations Page,

Setup Page, Diagnostics Menu and the Lock

Menu. The operator also wants to read and write

to the Home Page.

In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Read

Lockout Security [rLoC] to 1 and Set Lockout

Security [SLoC] to 5.

In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Lock Op-

erations Page [LoC;O] to 2.

Using Password Security

It is sometimes desirable to apply a higher level of

security to the module where a limited number of

menus are visible while not providing access to oth-

ers without a security password. Without the appro-

priate password those menus will remain inacces-

sible. If Password Enabled [pas;e] in the Factory

Page under the Lock [`loC] Menu is set to on, an

overriding Password Security will be in effect. When

in effect, the only Pages that a User without a pass-

word has visibility to are defined in the Locked Ac-

cess Level [loC;L] prompt. On the other hand, a user
