Security System
Not available in MicroLogix 1000 A.I.
PLC-500 A.I. allows you to protect your installation from unauthorized users, and to
limit the access privileges of authorized users. These system security features are
discussed in this chapter.
The PLC-500 A.I. software provides passwords for access to:
•
PLC-500 A.I. software
•
Individual features of PLC-500 A.I.
The software also allows you to manage the SLC 500 or MicroLogix processor
password system.
The person configuring the PLC-500 A.I. security system sets up user accounts and
passwords, and determines functional access. The A.I. security system is divided into
two areas, System Setup and User Setup.
The System Setup options include: enable/disable security system, enable/disable user
action disk logging, specify the path where the user log file will be located, print the
user log, clear the user log, and define a new A.I. security system master password.
The User Setup options include adding or deleting user names (and passwords), and
adding or deleting user rights.
When the security system is enabled, a prompt for user name and password is displayed
when any of the executable files are accessed. The user name is echoed to the screen as
it is entered, and the password is echoed as dots. User’s rights are then checked and
options to which the user has not been assigned rights will return a Not authorized to
use this function message.
