ATV312 password.

Product Line:

Environment:

Prevent program changes

Resolution:
You can add a password by setting parameter COd (PIN code 1).  This parameter is under the SUP menu (Monitoring).  Change from Off to to On and then change the display to a 4 digit code and push the Enter button.

To unlock the drive, go under the COd parameter again and enter the pin code saved. 

To reactivate the same pin code, change COd back to On and push the enter button. 

To change the pin code, once unlocked, change the pin code to another 4 digit code and push enter to save. 

To deactivate the pin code, change the display to Off and then push Enter to save.
