By setting up the access level and the passwords for a CPU, you limit the functions and memory areas that are accessible without entering a password.
  • Page 80 Protection 8.3 Access protection The CPU's default setting is "No restriction" and "No password protection". In order to protect access to a CPU, you must edit the properties of the CPU and set up a password. Communication between the CPUs (via the communication functions in the blocks) is not restricted by the protection level of the CPU, unless PUT/GET communication is deactivated.

    Protection 8.3 Access protection 8.3.3 Locking protection levels with the PLC program Introduction You use the instruction "Limit and enable password legitimization" (ENDIS_PW) to specify whether or not configured passwords are legitimized for the CPU. In this way, you can prevent legitimized connections, even if the correct password is known.
