Security
The FX Tools software package and the Facility Explorer controllers
come with embedded security features based on the use of two
Identifiers (IDs):
• Family ID (embedded in the controller hardware at the factory)
• Customer ID (embedded in the application file by the user)
The Family ID and the Customer ID provide protection against the
downloading of applications to the wrong controller. The Family ID and
the Customer ID also prevent the unauthorized access within the
software tools to applications developed by other users.
Application Upload/Download
You can download N2 and LON applications to the controller via a
computer using the FX CommPro N2/LON software tool. You can also
upload or download N2 applications using the FX Programming Key.
You can download controller firmware using the FX Loader utility.
