    • This setting can be used with S7-1200 controllers V4.5 and later, S7-1500 controllers V2.9 and later, or ET200 controllers V2.9 and later. Care must be taken to ensure that this setting in FactoryTalk AssetCentre matches the setting in the TIA Portal projects. Make sure both are set to
      Secure
       or TIA Portal projects are set to
      Legacy and Secure
      .
    • This setting is applicable for TIA Portal V17 and later.
      • When performing disaster recovery with TIA Portal V19, if your controller access level is set to
        No access (complete protection)
         or
        HMI access
        , regardless of whether this checkbox in TIA Portal projects is selected or not, this checkbox must be selected in FactoryTalk AssetCentre system for communications to work properly.
