This section describes how to set access restrictions with passwords to pre-
vent improper access to project files created using the G9SP-series Controller
or G9SP Configurator.
The following two types of passwords can be used.
Description
Password to restrict editing of
configuration data included in
project file.
Password to restrict reading.
Password to restrict access to
G9SP-series Controller.
Precautions for Correct Use
• For security, we recommend you set a device password and a project file
password.
• There is no way to recover a parameter password if it has been lost, and so
a project file with no set password must be separately saved if a parameter
password is set.
• The parameter password is enabled when the project is downloaded to the
G9SP-series Controller. Always download the project after setting the pass-
word.
• Refer to 8-5 Setting a Device Password for information on measures when
the device password is lost.
Project file rights are determined by the results of parameter password verifi-
cation. The following describes the file rights.
