locked, access to the user application will fail. You need to upgrade to version 2
of the Connected Components Workbench software.
Connected Components Workbench Software Version 2 with Micro800 Controller
Firmware Revision 1
Connected Components Workbench software version 2 is capable of
“discovering” and connecting to Micro800 controllers with firmware revision
earlier than revision 2 (that is, not supporting the Controller Password
feature). However, the Controller Password feature will not be available to
these controllers. The user will not be able see interfaces associated with the
Controller Password feature in the Connected Components Workbench
software session.
Users are advised to upgrade the firmware. See Flash Upgrade Your Micro800
Firmware on page 257 for instructions.
Work with a Locked
Controller
The following workflows are supported on compatible Micro800 controllers
(firmware revision 2) and Connected Components Workbench software
version 2.
Upload from a Password-Protected Controller
1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.
2. In the Project Organizer, expand Catalog by clicking the + sign.
3. Select the target controller.
4. Select Upload.
5. When requested, provide the controller password.
Debug a Password-Protected Controller
To debug a locked controller, you have to connect to the controller through the
Connected Components Workbench software and provide the password
before you can proceed to debug.
1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.
ATTENTION: Connected Components Workbench software version 9 or
earlier with Micro800 controller firmware revision 10 or later
If a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 10 or later is locked using the
new password algorithm introduced in Connected Components Workbench
software version 10 or later, it cannot be accessed using Connected
Components Workbench software version 9 or earlier. Users are advised to
upgrade to the latest version of Connected Components Workbench
software.
IMPORTANT
When using Connected Components Workbench software version 9
or earlier:
• You cannot upload a version 10 or later project from the controller.
• You can upload a version 9 or earlier project from the controller if it was
downloaded to the controller using Connected Components Workbench
software version 10 or later, but you cannot go online.
