6-5 Setting Passwords
The NS-series PT’s password function is divided into the following two functions.
• Password Function
Requires a password input before allowing operations on a password-protected func-
tional object.
• Password with Levels Function
Requires a password for authentication when performing operations on a password-
protected functional object for the first time. Once authentication has been completed,
operations can be performed on all functional objects of the same or lower password
levels. Operations cannot be performed on functional objects protected with higher-level
passwords.
The passwords are set from the CX-Designer and up to five passwords (5 levels) can be set
for a single project. The passwords can be set and changed from the System Menu.
6-5-1 Changing the Password
Perform the following procedure from the System Menu to change the password.
1. Select the Password Tab.
2. Select the password to be changed using the Level 1 to Level 5 Buttons.
3. Input the old password and new password in the corresponding fields, and then input the new
password again in the confirmation field. Input the password using the virtual keyboard (text input
dialog box) that is displayed by pressing the input column.
4. After changing the password, press the Write Button to save the setting. Save separately for
each password level that is changed.
Precautions
for Safe Use
• When changing passwords, do not reset the PT or turn OFF the power until
the write operation has been completed (i.e., the Write Button has returned
to the status before being pressed). If the password is not saved properly,
the screen may malfunction.
• If the password is forgotten, it cannot be checked from the PT. Check the
password using the CX-Designer.
