    Section 2 1MAC059074-MB A 615 series overview Authorization Four user categories have been predefined for the LHMI and the WHMI, each with different rights and default passwords. The default passwords in the protection relay delivered from the factory can be changed with Administrator user rights.
  • Page 59 The protection relay utilizes Ethernet communication extensively for different purposes. The exact services depend on the ordered product variant and enabled functionality. HSR/PRP is available in 615 series Ver.5.0 FP1 ANSI. HSR/PRP availability depends on the product ordering information. See the Rear communication modules chapter for information on HSR/PRP supported COM cards.
