disabled. Protected mode is used to prevent the operator from modifying the program
or device settings. Protected mode is especially suitable or the programming of a large
amount of the same type of devices.
Protected mode can be activated using this menu option or by loading a project file that
has Protected mode activated.
Protected mode settings are saved to the configuration .ini file of the Pg4uwMC. During
the next startup of the Pg4uwMC program the Protected mode settings from the .ini file
are used.
When the Protected mode menu command is used the password dialog will appear.
The user has to enter a password twice to confirm the password is correct. After
successful password confirmation the program switches to Protected mode.
There is also one special option available - Keep "Load project" operation allowed.
The option is set to disabled as default - it means the Load project operation button and
menu will be disabled when Protected mode is active.
If the option is enabled (checked), the Load project operation button and menu will be
allowed in Protected mode.
To switch the program from Protected mode back to Normal mode, use the menu
command Options / Normal mode. The "Password required" dialog appears. The user
has to enter the same password as the password entered during the switch to Protected
mode.
When Protected mode is active, the label "Protected mode" is visible near the top of the
Status table on the main LCD screen.
Notes: Sometimes when Protected mode is switched from active state to inactive state
(Normal mode), some commands (for example command "Load project") may remain
disabled. This can be resolved by clicking the Stop button.
If the user forgets the password to turn off the Protected mode then this can be turned
off by the administrator by entering the Administrator password. Administrator login is
not necessary.
