Absolute know-how protection
If you remove password p7766 from the exception list, it is no longer possible to enter or
change the password for know-how protection.
You must reset the drive unit to factory settings in order to regain access to the drive unit's
adjustable parameters. When restoring the factory settings, you lose what you have
configured in the drive unit, and you must recommission the drive unit.
Extending the exception list
1. Using the symbol on the PC, back up the drive unit settings.
2. Go offline (
).
3. Using p7763, in the expert list, define the required number of parameters n (n = 1 … 500)
of the exception list.
4. Save the project.
5. Go online.
6. Load the project to the drive unit using the
icon in order to make them effective.
7. In p7764[0 … n-1], assign the required parameter numbers to the indices of p7763.
You have extended the exception list for know-how protection.
