10.38 Write and know-how protection
10.38.2.1 Copy protection
Features of the activated copy protection
Copy protection prevents project settings from being copied and transferred to other Control
Units.
Additional features include:
● Copy protection can only be activated in conjunction with the know-how protection
(see Chapter "Activating know-how protection (Page 675)").
● When copy protection is activated, the memory card and Control Unit are connected with
one another and only function together.
● The copy protection prevents the use of each memory card with copied data of one
Control Unit in another Control Unit.
● 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.
10.38.2.2 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)
