 [Project]  [Security]  [File Password Setting]
 • Store passwords carefully. If a user has forgotten a registration password, initialize the memory where the 
password is registered (standard ROM of the Motion CPU, or SD memory card). However, if initializing the 
standard ROM all password data and data are cleared. Re-write the data to the Motion CPU. (Page 352 
Memory Initialization)
 • When setting a file password for both the standard ROM and the SD memory card data, set a password for 
the standard ROM, and another password for the SD memory card data.
 • Be sure to register/change/delete password when the Motion CPU is in STOP state. Registering/changing/
deleting password when in RUN state may cause the Motion SFC program to operate incorrectly.
