9. Click Connect.
10. Select target controller2.
11. Click Download.
12. Lock controller2. See Configure Controller Password
on page 267.
Back Up and Restore a Password-Protected Controller
In this workflow, user application will be backed up from a Micro800
controller that is locked to a memory plug-in device.
1. In the Project Organizer, click the Discover icon.
The Browse Connections dialog appears.
2. Select the target controller.
3. When requested, enter the controller password.
4. Back up controller contents to the memory module.
The project in the memory module is now password locked.
5. Remove the memory module from controller1 and insert into controller2.
6. Restore contents from the memory module to controller2.
This operation succeeds only if:
• the controller has no password – the project can be restored to the
controller by setting the “Load on power up” option for the memory
module to Load Always.
• the controller’s password matches the project’s password.
Configure Controller
Password
To set, change, and clear controller password, see the quickstart instructions
Configure Controller Password
on page 267.
Recover from a Lost
Password
If the controller is secured with a password and the password has been lost,
then it becomes impossible to access the controller using the Connected
Components Workbench software.
To recover, the controller must be set to Program Mode using the keyswitch for
Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers, the 2080-LCD for Micro810
IMPORTANT
Even though the password matches, the restore operation will fail if
either one of the controller or project in the memory module is
protected using the old password algorithm, and the other is protected
using the new password algorithm. You can flash update the controller
using the Reset option to clear the password before restoring the
project to the controller.
IMPORTANT
In Connected Components Workbench software version 20.01.00 or
later, if the same password is removed and restored back on the new
Micro850 (2080-L50E) and Micro870 (2080-L70E) controllers, the
backup copy of the program in the 2080-MEMBAK-RTC2 plug-in module
must be updated before it can be used to restore the program.
Otherwise the restore fails as the internal encryption code changes
once the password is removed.
IMPORTANT
After creating or changing the controller password, you need to power
down the controller in order for the password to be saved.
