Registering 4-digit password can restrict parameter reading/writing.
Parameter
Name
number
296
Password lock level
297
Password lock/unlock
This parameter can be set when Pr.160 Extended function display selection = "0."
If Pr.296 = "9999" (no password lock), Pr.297 can be set while Pr.160 = "0." When the password lock is valid, Pr.297 can be set regardless of the Pr.160
setting.
Pr.297 can be written as "0 or 9999," but the Pr.297 setting does not change.

If the parameter reading is restricted by the Pr.160 setting, those parameters are unavailable for reading even when "" is indicated.
If the parameter writing is restricted by the Pr.77 setting, those parameters are unavailable for writing even when "" is indicated.
Parameter access from unit where parameter is written in PU operation mode (initially set to operation panel, parameter unit) is restricted. (Refer to page
195 for PU mode operation command source selection)
This restricts parameter access from the command source that can write a parameter under Network operation mode (initially RS-485 communication
from PU connector or a communication option). (Refer to page 195 for NET mode command source.)
If a communication option is installed, option fault (E.OPT) occurs, and drive unit trips. (Refer to page 275.)
