Security and Passwords
Located in System ②. The security feature is used to protect the system’s configuration and
settings from unwanted changes. The Admin user sets what access other users have to the
systems features. When security is enabled, a user must enter a password to gain access to
protected features through the controller’s user interface or Composer software.
There are three configurable user groups and an admin user:
• User - no password required, admin sets feature access
• User with Password - requires a password, admin sets feature access, is permitted to change
the password for this user group.
• Maintenance User - requires a password, admin sets feature access, is permitted to change
the password for this user group.
• Admin - requires a password, has unlimited access to features, sets permissions and
passwords for all user groups.
There are four entry levels when trying to acquire access to the controller. Those levels are:
• User, no password required with limited access based on settings.
• User with Password, password required with limited access based on settings.
• Maintenance User Password, password required with limited access based on settings.
• Admin Password, password required with full unlimited access.
The admin user can set each user groups’ permission to allow full, read-only or no access to the
following features:
• Home, controls access to controller’s home screen.*
• Control Mode, controls access to setting the control mode, set points and PID parameters.*
• Autotune, controls access to running the autotune feature.*
