Table 40: Parameters for User Accounts in the PES User Management Scheme
7.4.3 Setting up User Accounts
A user with administrator rights can access to all user accounts.
Observe the following points when setting up user accounts:
 Make sure that at least one user account is assigned with administrator rights. Define a
password for the user account with administrator rights.
 After a user account was created in the user management, its password must be used to
access and edit it.
 In SILworX, use the Verification function to check the created user account.
 The new user accounts are valid once the code has been generated and a download has
been performed to load the project into the controller. All the user accounts previously saved,
e.g., the default settings, are no longer valid.
