EZwarePlus Programming Manual
There are two security modes in EZwarePlus, General mode and Enhanced Security mode. General mode operates
the same as the security feature in EasyBuilder-5000, so projects created in EasyBuilder-5000 will default to the
General mode when opened in EZwarePlus. Enhanced Security mode provides additional features and user account
management for improved security and runtime editing of user accounts.
General Mode
When General mode is selected, up to 12 users can be individually enabled, and each has a unique password and
combination of any six access classes (A-F). Only numbers are allowed for passwords. When an object is created, it
can be assigned an access class. When that object is activated (for example, a button is touched), the HMI compares
the access classes allowed for the currently logged-in user to the access class specified for the object. If the access
class of the object is within the classes allowed, the object’s action is executed.
In order for a user to login, they must first enter their user number into reserved local word LW9219. Then they must
enter their password into reserved local word LW9220 (32-bit unsigned).
There are several other reserved local words and bits that can add functionality to your security implementation.
Reserved Local Memory
Function
LW9222
Displays the access levels assigned to the currently logged-in
user in binary format (16-bit binary)
Bit 0: A, Bit 1: B, Bit 2: C, Bit 3: D, Bit 4: E, Bit 5: F
LW9500-LW9523 (32-bit unsigned)
Stores user passwords 1-12
LB9050
Logs out user and resets password to zero when bit is set (HMI
resets bit to zero)
LB9060
Indicates when an invalid password has been entered (bit
resets to zero when valid password is entered)
LB9061
Set to update user passwords when changed locally
(LW9500-LW9523) Use momentary style
Refer to the Security Sample Project on our website to see how to employ the above reserved local memory bits and
registers in a security implementation.
