▶ Press the OK in order to protect the function or the menu 
(å = protected).
• CIRCUIT DIAGRAM: The password is applied to the circuit diagram as 
well as function blocks that are not enabled. This area also prevents the 
transfer of a circuit diagram from and to the memory card.
• PARAMETER: The PARAMETER menu is protected.
• CLOCK: Date and time are protected with the password.
• MODE: It is not possible to change the operating mode from RUN to 
STOP operating mode and vice versa using the function keys of the 
device concerned. The same applies for the Run/Stop buttons of 
easySoft-Safety.
• INTERFACE: Protects against access to the multi-function interface of 
this device. Data exchange via the easyNet is not affected. Take into 
account the restricting effect of a protected interface if you have to reset 
the easy800 device to factory settings (→ Section “Password no longer 
known or incorrect“, Page 301).
• DELETE PROGRAM: When this function is not activated, the question 
“DELETE PROG?” will appear if the password entry is entered 
incorrectly four times. This question does not appear if you activate this 
function and protect the DELETE PROGRAM area. However, it is no 
longer possible to make changes in protected areas if you forget the 
password.
The password is now valid but not yet activated.

At least one area must be protected. In the default setting the 
circuit diagram is selected.
DANGER
This password protection does not prevent operating mode 
changes in the following cases:
• With REMOTE RUN activated the NET station 2-8 follows 
the operating mode change of the NET station with
NET-ID 1, → Section “Description of the NET-
PARAMETERS“ ->„Automatic change of the RUN and 
STOP mode (Station Menu REMOTE RUN)“ on Page 280.
• Operating mode changes can also be triggered through local 
expansion units (communication modules).
