Configuring access protection for the CPU

Introduction
The CPU offers four access levels, in order to limit access to specific functions.
By setting up the access levels and the passwords for a CPU, you limit the functions and
memory areas that are accessible without entering a password. The individual access levels
as well as the entry of their associated passwords are specified in the object properties of
the CPU.
