Configuring access levels
To configure the access levels for an S7-1500 CPU, follow these steps:
1. Open the properties of the S7-1500 CPU in the Inspector window.
2. Open the "Protection & Security" entry in the area navigation.
A table with the possible access levels appears in the Inspector window.
Figure 10-1 Possible access levels
3. Activate the desired protection level in the first column of the table. The green check marks
in the columns to the right of the respective access level show you which operations are still
available without entering the password. In the example (Figure: Possible access levels),
read access and HMI access are still possible without a password.
4. In the "Enter password" column, specify a password for the access level "Full access" in the
first row. In the "Confirm password" column, enter the selected password again to guard
against incorrect entries.
5. Assign additional passwords as required for other access levels.
6. Download the hardware configuration for the access level to take effect.
The CPU logs the following actions with an entry in the diagnostic buffer:
• Input of the correct or, possibly, wrong password
• Changes to access level configuration
