Chapter 10 Safety Configuration and Verification
Set and Change a Password
You can protect the system configuration by using an optional password. If you
set a password, edits to the configuration, as well as safety-locking and safety
option reset operations require the password to be entered. You can set a
password when the safety option is not safety-locked and the P6 [Operating
Mode] parameter value equals 0 (Program).
Follow these steps to set a new password.
1. If you previously configured a password, enter the password by using the
P1 [Password] parameter.
2. Enter the new password by using the P13 [New Password] parameter.
3. Set the P17 [Password Command] parameter to 1, which equals Change
Password.
Resetting the Password
If you forget the password and need to reset it, follow these steps.
1. Read the contents of the P18 [Security Code] parameter.
2. Contact Rockwell Automation Technical Support (440-646-5800) and
provide the Security Code value and the serial number of the safety option.
A technical support representative will use the security code to calculate a
Vendor Password value.
3. Enter the value provided by your Rockwell Automation Technical Support
representative into the P19 [Vendor Password] parameter.
4. Set the P17 [Password Command] parameter to 2, which equals Reset
Password.
5. Enter the new password by using the P13 [New Password] parameter.
6. Set the P17 [Password Command] parameter to 1, which equals Change
Password.
