Yaskawa DriveWizard AC Drive - Manual (Page 71)

To enable write disable, select Inverter > Write Disable Password from the menu bar. This can
be done either off-line or on-line. The write password window comes up with all of the functions
displayed that indicates that there is no password set (Figure 4.43).
Figure 4.43: Write Password Set Window with no Password Set
To activate the write disable enter a password in the entry box (Figure 4.44). The password can
be characters or numbers. Once the password is set it remains set until DriveWizard
™ is re-
installed. There are two boxes that you can check:
Write disable:
This mode disables writing to the drive while on-line with the drive for the current on-
line session only. When DriveWizard
™ is closed out or shut down, the write disable goes
off so the next time the DriveWizard
™ is opened or started, there will be no write disable.
Write disable on start:
This mode disables writing to the drive all of the time until the password is entered. and
this box is unchecked. When this box is checked, DriveWizard
™ automatically checks
the Write disable box when DriveWizard
™ is opened.
Figure 4.44: Write Password Set Window with Password entered
When both boxes are checked writing to the drive is disabled during the current on-line session
and every time DriveWizard
™ is used until the correct password is entered and the boxes are
unchecked. Once the password is entered and the appropriate selection boxes are checked, click
on OK to accept the entries and close the window. Clicking on Cancel stops the write
password process and closes the window.
