Connect to a password-protected controller

You must have the password before connecting to a password-protected controller.
Micro800
 controllers allow the connection of one configuration tool at a time. You cannot connect to the controller when:
  • The controller is locked by another user.
  • The type of the selected controller does not match the one defined in the opened project.

    , do one of the following:
    • In the
      Path
       column, enter the controller connection path.
    • Select Breadcrumb button to open
      Select device

      Micro800
       controller.

    The controller will enter the locked-out state after a total of 11 or more unsuccessful password attempts, whether consecutive or spread out over time. In the locked-out state, the following conditions apply:
    • A subsequent attempt with the correct password will only succeed after 300 seconds (locked-out duration).
    • If you do not make subsequent attempts, the controller will automatically reset the unsuccessful sign-in count and exit the locked-out state after one day (auto unlock duration).
