Setting Passwords; Changing The Password - Omron NS - REV 12 Setup Manual

6-5 Setting Passwords

6-5 Setting Passwords

The NS-series PT's password function is divided into the following two functions.
• Password Function
Requires a password input before allowing operations on a password-protected func-
tional object.
• Password with Levels Function
Requires a password for authentication when performing operations on a password-
protected functional object for the first time. Once authentication has been completed,
operations can be performed on all functional objects of the same or lower password lev-
els. Operations cannot be performed on functional objects protected with higher-level
passwords.
The passwords are set from the CX-Designer and up to five passwords (5 levels) can be set
for a single project. The passwords can be set and changed from the System Menu.

Precautions
for Safe Use
6-36
• When changing passwords, do not reset the PT or turn OFF the power until
the write operation has been completed (i.e., the Write Button has returned
to the status before being pressed). If the password is not saved properly,
the screen may malfunction.
• If the password is forgotten, it cannot be checked from the PT. Check the
password using the CX-Designer.
