17 SECURITY FUNCTION
This function serves to protect the user property stored in a personal computer and the user property inside modules in the
MELSEC iQ-R series system against threats such as theft, tampering, faulty operation, and unauthorized execution due to the
unauthorized access by an outsider. Use an appropriate security function according to the purpose as shown in the following
table:
• Only the SIL2 Process CPU and Safety CPU support the user authentication function.
(1) Protection is provided against theft, tampering, and faulty operation resulting from unauthorized access by an outsider. (Protection for user property on a
personal computer)
(2) Protection is provided against theft, tampering, faulty operation, and unauthorized execution resulting from unauthorized access by an outsider. (Protection
for user property in CPU modules)
