8-5 Setting a Device Password
The G9SP-series Controller can record a Device Password in nonvolatile
memory. The Device Password can be used to prevent unauthorized or unin-
tentional access to the G9SP-series Controller from a person other than a
user (i.e., a safety manager).
No Device Password is set by default; the user must register one. Use the
G9SP Configurator to set or change the Device Password for the G9SP-series
Controller.
Scope of Access Control
The following operations require the user to enter a Device Password. The
G9SP-series Controller will not perform the following operations unless the
password is correct.
• Downloading the configuration
• Locking or unlocking the configuration
• Executing the Controller's reset service
• Changing the operating mode

Lost Device Password
