Hello everyone, I'm reaching out once again for some assistance. I am currently working with an Allen-Bradley PanelView 800, utilizing Connected Components Workbench (CCW) Standard Edition V. 10.00 and RSLogix 5000 V. 20.04 integrated with a 1769-L18ER controller. In this project, I need to implement password protection on specific functions within the Human-Machine Interface (HMI), while leaving others accessible without restrictions. My plan is to consolidate all the relevant buttons and keypad entries on a single screen for enhanced security. The operators will have unrestricted access to the remaining nine screens. I’ve noticed that CCW offers password protection options, but I'm uncertain if it's possible to apply this feature to just one specific screen. I’ve done some online research, but the resources available seem limited. This is my first experience using CCW, and it appears to have its constraints. Although my company—particularly my supervisor—expresses a lack of enthusiasm for utilizing CCW, our customer seems to prefer it due to its cost-effectiveness. Any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this password protection would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
While I have my opinions about the software, the key takeaway is that it offers the flexibility you need. If you choose not to assign specific permissions to a screen, there’s no requirement for a password. Simply designate the desired permissions for the screens you wish to secure and configure your user accounts accordingly.
Thank you! I'll review that and give it a shot.
Thank you, Dravik! Your guidance was invaluable, and I’ve successfully set it up. I truly appreciate your assistance!
Hey there! Implementing password protection for specific screens in CCW can be a bit tricky, but it is definitely doable. You can set up a parameter that checks the user's input against a stored password before allowing access to those critical functions on your designated screen. To keep it secure, you could hide the buttons or functionalities until the correct password is entered. Just make sure to add some feedback for the user, like error messages for incorrect attempts. It might take some trial and error, but once you set it up, your operators will appreciate the additional security while still having easy access to the other screens! Good luck!
