Copy protection

Features of the activated copy protection
The copy protection prevents the project from being copied to other memory cards and
possibly used on other Control Units. Additional features include:
● The copy protection can only be activated in conjunction with the know-how protection
(see Activating know-how protection (Page 900)).
● Depending on the selected copy-protection option, when the know-how protection is
activated, it is either linked only to the memory card or to the memory card and the
Control Unit together.
● The copy protection prevents the use of copied memory cards. When extended copy
protection is selected, the use of the original memory card is also not permitted on other
Control Units.
● With the exception of the DCC library, the copy-protected data on the memory card
cannot be read or copied. If a copied memory card is used, a copy protection error is
displayed and a pulse inhibit set.

Configuring know-how protection

Requirements
Before activating know-how protection, the following conditions must be met:
● The drive unit has been fully commissioned.
(Configuration, download into the drive unit, complete commissioning. You have then
carried out an upload in order to upload the parameters calculated by the drive into the
STARTER project.)
● The OEM exception list has been created (see below).
● To guarantee know-how protection, you must ensure that the project does not remain at
the end user as a file.
Creating the OEM exception list
Before activating the know-how protection, enter the parameters in this exception list that are
to remain readable and writable despite the know-how protection. The exception list can only
be created via the expert list. The exception list has no influence on the input screen forms in
STARTER.
Factory setting for the exception list:
● p7763 = 1 (exception list contains precisely one parameter)
● p7764[0] = 7766 (parameter number for entering the password)
