FX15 Controller Technical Bulletin

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 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.
• Specific Customer/Private ID: Applications that are saved with a
specific customer/private ID 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 becomes customer specific and only allows the
application with the same customer specific ID to be downloaded.
