Automatic logon to the operating system

A PC station with password protection is enabled by default after the operating system starts
in the logged out state.
If a PC station should go immediately to the state for logon of the operator or to process mode
after startup, the logon procedure must run automatically on the operating system. This is
permitted in PCS 7.
