UNAUTHORIZED DATA AND/OR APPLICATION ACCESS

oSecure access to the FTP/Web/OPC-UA server(s) using User Rights.

oIf you disable User Rights, disable the server(s) to prevent any unwanted or unauthorized access to your application and/or data.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

NOTE: Anonymous login can be restored by removing the user rights in the User Management page of the web server.

NOTE: Only ASCII characters are supported by the controller for login and password.

Default users and groups

One user and two groups are set by default:

oUser: Administrator

oGroups: Administrator and Everyone

Access Rights

You can give Access Rights to groups.

You can allow the following operations through the access rights:

oVIEW

oMODIFY

oEXECUTE

oADD_REMOVE

Troubleshooting

The only way to gain access to a controller that has user access-rights enabled and for which you do not have the password(s) is by performing an Update Firmware operation. This clearing of User Rights can only be accomplished by using a SD card to update the controller firmware. In addition, you may clear the User Rights in the controller by running a script (refer to Reset the User Rights to Default). This effectively removes the existing application from the controller memory, but restores the ability to access the Controller.
