7.4.2 User Management for the Controller
The user management for a controller (PES user management) is used to protect the HIMatrix
controller against unauthorized access and actions. The user and its access rights are part of
the project; they are defined with SILworX and loaded into the processor module.
The user management can be used to set and manage the access rights to a controller for up to
ten users. The access rights are stored in the controller and remain valid after switching off the
operating voltage.
Each user account is composed of name, password and access right. The user data can be
used to log in once a download has been performed to load the project into the controller. The
user accounts of a controller can also be used for the corresponding remote I/Os.
Users log in to a controller using their user name and password.
Creating user accounts is not required, but is a contribution to a safe operation. If a user
management scheme is defined for a resource, it must contain at least one user with
administrator rights.
Default User
The factory user settings apply if no user accounts were set up for a resource. The factory
settings also apply after starting a controller with the reset pushbutton activated.
Factory settings
Note that the default settings cannot be maintained if new user accounts are defined.
