By default the program contains three accounts:
❑ Admin: The password is case sensitive. The initial password is blank. Use the
administration program immediately to install a password for an Administrator and
make the system secure from unauthorized use.
❑ masoneilan: lower case, and password of new, also lower case.
❑ training: enables use of the FVP process control simulator with the logon name of
training, lower case, and password of training, lower case. The process control
simulator produces a process that has a dead time of one second and a lag of five
seconds. The process controller simulator is useful for training users on the many
functions and features of the FVP positioner and its PID function block.
User Levels
Each user is assigned an account and each account contains an associated privilege
level. You must provide ValVueFF users with an appropriate privilege level to keep field
devices secure from the actions of unknowledgeable, unauthorized or malicious users. It
is good practice for an Administrator to create a second logon name and password
combination, with a lower privilege level, to use for routine tasks.
Privilege levels range from 0 to 9, with level 0 the lowest and 9 the highest. Table 4
defines the privilege levels that control access to specific functions of the ValVueFF
program. Services that are not accessible to a particular level are grayed out.
