Opening the Control Panel

Use the "Info/Settings" menu command to open the Control Panel in the Loader.
Configure your HMI device in the Control Panel. You can make the following settings:
● Communication settings
● Settings for operation
● Password protection
● Transfer settings
● Screen saver
Protecting the Control Panel with a password
In the control panel you have the option of protecting the "Info Settings > Logon/Settings"
menu with a password. The following menu entries continue to be freely accessible even
when password protection is enabled:
● Transfer
● Start
● Info Settings > Contrast
● Info Settings > Device / Network / Version / License Info
This prevents inadvertent operations and increases security for the plant or machine
because the settings cannot be edited.
NOTICE
If the password for the Control Panel is no longer available, you have to first update the
operating system before you can make any changes in the Control Panel at "Info Settings >
Logon/Settings".
All data on the HMI device is overwritten when you update the operating system!
