able while the device is online.
Impact Device Security Overview
Impact device security resides in each device. (Control panel applications and vision programs can be pass-
word protected separately. See “Vision Program Security” on page 3-32 and “CPM Security” on page 4-2.)
You must connect and log on to a device to modify security for that device. When you attempt to connect to
a device that has security enabled, you will have to enter a valid User ID and password. The User ID will
determine your security level. Some functions are limited based on the user’s security level. Control Panel
designers can check for the user’s security level and allow access to specific functions based on that level.
Enable Security
Security for each Impact device resides in the device. If the Enable Security check box is checked, security
is enabled and the logon screen is displayed whenever a connection attempt is made to the device. The user
cannot gain access to the device until a valid User ID and password have been entered. There must be at
least one Administration level user defined to enable security.
Users
• User ID and Level: All currently defined users and their access levels are displayed in this list.
Access to a device is determined by the access level assigned to each User ID. Access to functions on
Control Panels is assigned by the Control Panel creator. The following access levels can be assigned,
with Administrator level having full access to all functions.
• Monitor: View inspection fields and values as allowed by Control Panel security; view vision pro-
gram parameters, and control functions; modify values as allowed by Control Panel security; and view
all fields on the Device Information tab.
• Operator: Monitor level access plus view images, adjust some inspection settings, and put the device
online and offline.
• Controller: Monitor and Operator level access plus modify some vision program parameters.
• Programmer: Monitor, Operator and Controller level access plus modify images, adjust all inspec-
tion settings, modify all vision program parameters, create and edit vision programs, and change
device and camera settings.
• Administrator: Monitor, Operator, Controller, and Programmer level access plus modify system
security, including defining and modifying users levels and passwords.
Note: Before you can enable security on the device, there must be at least one Administration level
user defined.
