9.2.2  PLC Protection (Password Protection) 
You can set a new password with up to 8 characters, or change an existing one. 
To access a PLC for which a password has been set, a login is required whenever the power 
is turned on. 
To set a password, you can use: 
•  the programming tool 
•  the SYS1 instruction 
 
!
 
•  Be sure to memorize your password. Without the password, you 
will not be able to read programs on password-protected PLCs. 
•  If you have forgotten your password, our support team will not be 
able to reset it for you. 
•  If you are not logged in, [Clear Password] will erase not only the 
password but also the program and parameters stored in the 
PLC's comment memory.
