You can protect a circuit program from unauthorized access
by assigning it a password.
You can only assign or deactivate a password from the IDEC
SmartRelay Base module or from WindLGC. You can only
change a password from the IDEC SmartRelay Base
module. If you have assigned a password, and are using a
