Chapter 9 Controller Security
Compatibility
The Controller Password feature is supported on:
• Connected Components Workbench revision 2 and later
• Micro800 controllers with revision 2 firmware
For users with earlier versions of the software and/or hardware, refer to the
compatibility scenarios below.
Connected Components Workbench revision 1 with Micro800 controller
firmware revision 2
Connection to a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 2 using an earlier
version of the Connected Components Workbench software (revision 1) is
possible and connections will be successful. However, the software will not be
able to determine whether the controller is locked or not.
If the controller is not locked, access to the user application will be allowed,
provided the controller is not busy with another session. If the controller is
locked, access to the user application will fail. Users will need to upgrade to
revision 2 of the Connected Components Workbench software.
Connected Components Workbench revision 2 with Micro800 controller
firmware revision 1
Connected Components Workbench revision 2 is capable of "discovering" and
connecting to Micro800 controllers with firmware revision earlier than revision 2
(that is, not supporting the Controller Password feature). However, the
Controller Password feature will not be available to these controllers. The user
will not be able see interfaces associated with the Controller Password feature in
the Connected Components Workbench session.
Users are advised to upgrade the firmware. See Flash Upgrade Your Micro800
Firmware on page 247 for instructions.
For instructions on how to set, change, and clear controller passwords,
see Configure Controller Password
on page 261.
ATTENTION: Connected Components Workbench revision 9 or earlier
with Micro800 controller revision 10 or later
If a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 10 or later is locked using the
new password algorithm introduced in Connected Components Workbench
software revision10 or later, it cannot be accessed using Components
Workbench software revision 9 or earlier. Users are advised to upgrade to
the latest version of Connected Components Workbench software.
