Chapter 6 Features

The following examples show how the Lockout Menu

parameters may be used in applications:

1. You can lock out access to the Operations Page

but allow an operator access to the Profile Menu,

by changing the default Profile Page and Opera-

tions Page security levels. Change Lock Opera-

tions Page [LoC;o] to 3. If Set Lockout Security
[SLoC]

is set to 2 or higher and the Read Lock-

out Security [rLoC] is set to 2, the Home Pages

can be accessed, and all writable parameters can

be written to. Pages with security levels greater

than 2 will be locked out (inaccessible).

2 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.

3. 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.

4. The operator wants to read and write to the

Home Page, and lock all other pages and menus.

In the Factory Page, Lockout Menu, set Read

Lockout Security [rLoC] to 2 and Set Lockout

Security [SLoC] to 2.

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

erations Page [LoC;O] to 3.

5. The operator wants to read the Operations

Page, Setup Page, Profiling Page, Diagnostics

Menu, Lock Menu, Calibration Menu and Cus-

tom Menus. 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 control where a limited number of

menus are visible and not providing access to others

without a security password. Without the appropri-

ate password those menus will remain inaccessible.

If Password Enabled [pas;e] in the Factory Page

under the [`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 password has

visibility to are defined in the Locked Access Level
[ loC;L]

prompt. On the other hand, a User with a

password would have visibility restricted by the Read

Lockout Security [rloC]. As an example, with Pass-

word Enabled and the Locked Access Level [loC;L]

set to 1 and [rloC] is set to 3, the available Pages

for a User without a password would be limited to

the Home and Factory Pages (locked level 1). If the

User password is entered all pages would be acces-

sible with the exception of the Setup Page as defined

by level 3 access.
How to Enable Password Security
Go to the Factory Page by holding down the Infinity
ˆ

key and the Advance

key for approximately six

seconds. Once there, push the Down ¯ key one time

to get to the [`loC] menu. Again push the Advance

key until the Password Enabled [pas;e] prompt

is visible. Lastly, push either the up or down key to

turn it on. Once on, 4 new prompts will appear:
1. [loC;l] , Locked Access Level (1 to 5) correspond

ing to the lockout table above.
2. [roll] , Rolling Password will change the Cus-

tomer Code every time power is cycled.
3. [pas;u] , User Password which is needed for a Us-

er to acquire access to the control.
4. [pas;a] , Administrator Password which is need-

ed to acquire administrative access to the control.
The Administrator can either change the User and

or the Administrator password or leave them in the

default state. Once Password Security is enabled they

will no longer be visible to anyone other than the

Administrator. As can be seen in the formula that

follows either the User or Administrator will need to

know what those passwords are to acquire a higher

level of access to the control. Back out of this menu

by pushing the Infinity ˆ key. Once out of the menu,

the Password Security will be enabled.
How to Acquire Access to the Control
To acquire access to any inaccessible Pages or

Menus, go to the Factory Page and enter the [UloC]

menu. Once there follow the steps below:
Note:
If Password Security (Password Enabled [pas;e]

is On) is enabled the two prompts mentioned below

in the first step will not be visible. If unknown,

call the individual or company that originally set-

up the control.
1. Acquire either the User Password [pas;u] or the

Administrator Password [pas;a].
2. Push the Advance

key one time where the Code

[Code] prompt will be visible.
Note:

a. If the the Rolling Password is off push the Ad-

vance key one more time where the Password

[pass] prompt will be displayed. Proceed to
either step 7a or 8a. Pushing the Up ¿ or Down

¯ arrow keys enter either the User or Adminis-

trator Password. Once entered, push and hold

the Infinity ˆ key for two seconds to return to

the Home Page.
b. If the Rolling Password [roll] was turned on

proceed on through steps 3 - 9.

3. Assuming the Code [Code] prompt (Public Key)

is still visible on the face of the control simply
