Security Function - Panasonic GM1 User Manual

10.2 Security Function

GM Programmer is equipped with a security function that can implement user management
(project user management and device user management) and encrypt project files. This section
explains security-related functions such as user management and project encryption, and the
procedures for operating each security function.
● Each user ID and their corresponding password must be different character strings.
● Password strength must be sufficiently high. Do not use any passwords that can be easily
guessed.
● Accounts must be managed properly and must not be shared unnecessarily.
● Use this controller in a secure network environment.
● Use encryption functions properly to protect information assets.
● Use the device user management function to perform authentication protection for the
controller during operation.
● After logging in with the initial password, be sure to change the password.
● Implement password management to prevent passwords from being forgotten. If the
password is forgotten, device reset must be performed on the controller.
● Implement password management to prevent passwords from being leaked to third
parties.
