Password
Password protection is designed to protect against unauthorized access to a
processor file and from changes being made to the ladder program. Each ladder
program may contain two passwords; the Password and the Master Password. The
master password overrides the password. This function is available offline and
online from the Processor Functions menu. You can only use numbers.
You can use passwords in the following combinations:
Only Password Designated
You must enter the password to gain access to the processor
file.
Password and Master Password
Designated
You must enter either the password or the master password to
gain access to the processor file.
Generally, if you are using a number of processors, each processor is given a
different password, and a master password is applied to all of the processors. You
can use the master password to change or remove any password.
Note There is no password override to defeat the protection. Contact your Rockwell
Software representative if you are not able to locate your password.
Entering Passwords
Ordinarily, you would not enter a password until your ladder program is completed,
tested, and ready to be applied. This avoids having to type in the password each
time you edit the program, download, edit again, and so on.
