5.12 File Password Function
Behavior when an existing file is to be copied to another CNC
When a file protected by a password is read to GX works2 from a CNC, and then the file is written to another CNC, the
password of the file is canceled.
When GX Developer is used in the same situation, the password retains for the file in another CNC.
When you use GX Works2, make sure not to forget to register a password again after write to PLC.
When no password is registered to the file, the bit values of the special registers SD553 to SD556 corresponding to the
project are "1". (Refer to "5.12.5 Checking the File Password Registration Status")
