Security
The FX Tools Pro and the Facility Explorer controllers come with an
embedded security feature based on the use of two IDs: the Family ID
and the Customer ID.
Family ID
Family ID differentiates different hardware types and prevents the
downloading of the wrong application to the wrong controller.

Customer ID
Customer ID protects a controller downloaded with a custom developed
application and protects the application source code from editing by
unauthorized users. Three Customer ID types are used:
• Public ID: applications that are saved with Public ID can be
downloaded and commissioned by any user with the Public ID
enabled in FX Tools.
• Demo ID: applications that are saved with the Demo ID can only be
downloaded to demo controllers.
• Customer/Private Specific ID: Applications that are saved with a
specific customer/private ID will make those applications source
files readable only by users who have the same ID enabled in FX
Tools. Once a controller has been downloaded with a specific
Customer ID, the controller will become customer specific and only
allow downloading of application with the same customer specific
ID.
