Configurable parameters cannot be changed while the drive is running or jogging.
Stop the drive to change the parameter.

4.3

Using a Password to Protect Configuration

To prevent changes to parameters from the

OIM

, you can use software or hardware

program protection. Program protection does not affect keypad control, the contrast
and language configuration, the fault and alarm options, or monitor mode. It has no
effect on changes made through the serial port.

Hardware-based program protection is enabled by a jumper setting and is described
in the hardware manual. Software-based program protection is enabled through the

PASSWORD

parameter and is described later in this section.

Important: Hardware program protection takes precedence over software program

protection. If hardware program protection is set to

DISABLE

, the

PASSWORD

parameter is ignored.

When password program protection is enabled and you select a parameter, the
message “Do you wish to enter the password to

DISABLE

program protection”

is

displayed. You must enter the factory-set password to change the parameter. This
disables software program protection. To re-enable software program protection,
repeat the following procedure.

If you do not enter the correct password when you try to change a parameter, the
message “

PROGRAM

ERROR

!

PASSWORD

PROTECTION

IS

ENABLED

” is displayed.

ATTENTION: It is the user’s responsibility to distribute the security
password. Reliance Electric is not responsible for unauthorized access
violations within the user’s organization. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bodily injury.
