Operator Panel OP3
Edition 11/99
Password Protection
To prevent unauthorized operation of the OP3, there is the possibility of
controlling access by means of passwords and password levels for calling
certain functions and inputs.
6.1 Password Levels and Access
When you are configuring on the OP3, you assign password levels from 0 to
9 for soft keys and input fields. The password levels assigned to the standard
screens are listed in Appendix A.
If an operator logs on to the OP3 with a password pertaining to a certain le-
vel, he is authorized to execute functions at that password level and at lower
levels.
At this level, the lowest in the hierarchy, functions are assigned which, when
enabled, have little or no effect on the execution of the process; these are
normally calls of functions not having input options – for example Message
Level.
You do not have to enter a password to call password-level 0 functions.
Levels 1 to 8 are assigned to functions of increasing importance.
Permission to execute functions of password level 9 is the sole responsibility
of the superuser, who has access to all OP3 functions.
If an operator logs in with the password of a specific password level on OP3,
he is authorized to execute functions at this and lower levels.
You set the system administrator’s password when you configure the system.
The default setting of 100 also applies to the internal standard screens. This
setting can be changed using the OP3.
