Multi-level security concept
A multi-level security concept to regulate access rights is available in the form of password
levels and keyswitch settings.

Access features
• Protection level 0 provides the greatest number of access rights, protection level 7 the
least.
• If certain access rights are granted to a protection level, these protection rights
automatically apply to any higher protection levels.
• Conversely, protection rights for a certain protection level can only be altered from a
higher protection level.
• Access rights for protection levels 0 to 3 are permanently assigned by Siemens and
cannot be altered (default).
• Access rights can be set by querying the current keyswitch positions and comparing the
passwords entered. When a password is entered it overwrites the access rights of the
keyswitch position.
