Protool V6.0 Passwords

Protool V6.0 Passwords

Protool V6.0 Passwords

(OP)
Has anyone set up protool v6.0 passwords for a MP270B panel, using the function 'Logon_user' as it does not appear to do what it implies on the online help. Any help or examples of it use would be appreciated

RE: Protool V6.0 Passwords

I have setup passwords on OP170B, OP270-10 and Protool Pro.

What is the exact problem you are having ?

You just have to insert a Password list in one of the screens. Then for the input fields and buttons that you want to protect, set the password level to 1 or higher (default = no password = 0).
There is a superuser password (password level = 9) that you have to use in order to create new users. This password is set under System ... Settings ... OP Password. The dafault is "100", but you can change it to anything.

RE: Protool V6.0 Passwords

(OP)
I was trying to create a group user logon eg. where an operator logs on via a button on the start page, without having to write to password protected variables and buttons. Also does the logout time under System ... Settings apply to all user on the password list or just the superuser.

RE: Protool V6.0 Passwords

Maybe you are using the system function write_pasword_to_tag in order to store the password for later use. If you do that, and use that tag to log in, you have made a neverending loop. Protool will accept it but you will get errors when going to runtime.
You probably have to manually write the passwords into normal string tags.

But I must say that I dont understand what you want to do. If the operator simply pushes a button from the startup screen without having to type a password, then where is the user-based sequrity ?
You could use a keyswitch, observe it with a tag via a PLC input, and use that tag to logon a user. Then you have the key as sequrity.

The logout time is for all users.
