9.2.2.18

Write protection

Application
Following completion of commissioning, you can set the write protection to prevent undesired
changes by an acyclic master.
However, you can change the parameters of the positioner on-site as before.
Enabling write protection
1. Call the "Write protection" sub-menu.
2. Set 'Write protection' in the sub-menu to 'On'.
If you still try to write, the PDM displays the 'Connection terminated' message.
Note
Write protection
1. If 'On' is displayed for 'Hardware write protection' in the online dialog 'Write protection', the
application parameter '39.BIN1' / '40.BIN2' Function of binary inputs (Page 153) 'bLoc1' or
'bLoc2' has been set on the positioner. Writing via SIMATIC PDM is thus also blocked. The
write protection directly activated in the positioner can only be canceled again directly on the
positioner.
2. In SIMATIC PDM, the write protection can only be changed via the online dialog 'Write
protection' in the 'Device' menu. You cannot change the write protection via the tree
topology in the parameter table 'Security'.
9.2.2.19

Reset parameters in PDM

Application
Use this menu item to open a dialog box to reset all SIMATIC PDM parameters to their factory
settings (default values).
SIMATIC PDM parameters are reset when you press the 'OK' button. You can then transfer the
parameters to the SIMATIC PDM memory using 'File->Save'.
Select 'Device->Load to device' to transfer the reset parameters to the positioner as well.
