5.9 Entering and changing the password
The following safety-relevant, important commands are protected in ASIMON by a password:
• PC -> Monitor…
• Teach safe configuration
• Validate…
• Stop
• Change password…
After calling up a password-protected command, a password dialog box opens in which the
password is entered and the authorisation for executing the command is checked.
If an incorrect password is entered, an error message is output and command execution is in-
terrupted.
The default password (factory setting) of the AS-Interface safety monitor is "SIMON". If you
would like to reconfigure the AS-Interface safety monitor, you must first change this default
password to a new one known only to you as safety officer.
Note
When a correct password is entered, ASIMON remembers the password for 5 minutes. If you
execute other password-protected commands during this period, you do not need to re-enter
the password. Each time a password-protected command is executed, the internal marker time
is reset to 5 minutes.
This makes working with the software easier, as you do not need to constantly enter the
password. It should, however, not lead to careless use of the password.
4 … 8 alphanumerical characters;
A … Z, a … z, 0 … 9, default: "SIMON"
Password is case-sensitive!
