Chapter 7 Controller Security
• Micro800 controllers with at least revision 2 firmware
For users with earlier versions of the software and/or hardware, refer to the
compatibility scenarios below.
Connected Components Workbench revision 1 with Micro800 controller
firmware revision 2 and later
Connection to a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 2 using an earlier
version of the Connected Components Workbench software (revision 1) is
possible and connections will be successful. However, the software will not be
able to determine whether the controller is locked or not.
If the controller is not locked, access to the user application will be allowed,
provided the controller is not busy with another session. If the controller is
locked, access to the user application will fail. Users will need to upgrade to
revision 2 of the Connected Components Workbench software.
Connected Components Workbench revision 2 and later with Micro800
controller firmware revision 1
Connected Components Workbench revision 2 is capable of "discovering" and
connecting to Micro800 controllers with firmware revision earlier than revision 2
(that is, not supporting the Controller Password feature). However, the
Controller Password feature will not be available to these controllers. The user
will not be able see interfaces associated with the Controller Password feature in
the Connected Components Workbench session.
Users are advised to upgrade the firmware. See Flash Upgrade Your Micro800
Firmware on page 121 for instructions.
