Setpoints 
Do not perform repeated writing of setpoints (e.g. do NOT have a MODBUS ’watchdog’  system where PLC 
periodically  writes  down  a  figure  into  register  and  then  reads  the  figure).  The  setpoints  are  stored  in 
EEPROM  memory,  which  can  be  overwritten  up  to  100  000  times  without  risk  of  damage  or  data  loss, 
however it may become damaged, when allowed number of writing cycles is exceeded! 
The  issue  with  EEPROM  memory limit  is  resolved  from  ID-DCU  MARINE  firmware  version  2.2,  setpoint 
registers were moved into another memory part of the controller. 
Password 
There are three levels of password protection. 
0. User   level allows change of non-protected setpoints only. 
1. Operator  level allows change of setpoints protected by Operator level. 
2. Master  level allows change of setpoints protected by Operator and Master level. 
3. Supervisor   highest level allows all setpoints or configuration changes, firmware upgrade. 
Hint: 
The asterisk mark “*” appears before a setpoint name (on controller screen) if the setpoint is password 
protected. 
The asterisk mark is removed only when the password is set from controller’s front panel.  
The asterisk mark is still visible on controller screen even if the password is set from InteliMonitor. 
 
Even though one level may have been set from the front panel, the affected setpoints are not accessible 
from InteliMonitor (direct or Modem) until this level is set in InteliMonitor (direct or Modem). Setpoints opened 
from front panel are automatically closed 15 minutes after the last key has been depressed or when wrong 
value of setpoint is set. 
 
It is possible to protect remote Start, Stop commands from InteliMonitor as well. This three level command 
protection can be configured from DriveConfig.  
 
EnterPassword 
Password is a four-digit number. Only setpoints associated with the entered password level can be modified.  
Use  or  to select the desired password and then hit enter. 
 
ChangePassword 1 
 
ChangePassword 2 
 
ChangePassword 3 
 
Hint: 
  Any password can be changed once that level password or higher has been entered if the change is 
made from InteliMonitor PC tool. 
  Password level 3 must be entered at first to change any password if the change is made by 
controller front panel buttons. 
 
To change password protection of Setpoint or Command: 
Open DriveConfig 
Select Setpoints or Commands window  
Set desired protection level: 0 or 1 or 2 or 3
