23.5.2 Security Settings for Each Part

Parts that you can set up with security levels

From among the touch operating parts, you can set each security level for parts with the following features.

Action of parts set up with security levels

When a security level is added to a part

You can set interlock with security level if you set a security level for each part.

• Current security level < Security level for the part

Interlock is on (the part will not operate).

• Current security level >= Security level for the part

Interlock is disabled (the part will operate).

Multiple parts with security levels are placed on top of each other

Only the parts with a security level not higher than the current security level can operate.

Displaying interlocked condition of switches based on security levels

For switch parts, if you select the [Show Interlocked Condition] check box in [Extended] on the [Switch Common] tab, you can set part shapes and labels for the interlocked condition with security levels.

However, this functionality is shared with the interlock feature with [Enable Addresses] enabled. Therefore, you cannot set the shape of the interlock switch separately between addresses and security levels.

When input order is set for the data display

A part with a level higher than the current security level cannot be edited even when it is time to edit the part according to the input order.

When combined with the [Common Settings] menu's [Security] interlock

Security setting for each part can be set together with the interlock setting of [Security] in the [Common Settings] menu.

If both are set, when either of them meets the interlock condition, the operation cannot be performed.

When operating from GP-Viewer EX

As for the operation from GP-Viewer EX, interlock is determined according to the current security level on the GP-Viewer EX side regardless of Synchronous/Asynchronous Mode. It is not dependent on the security level on the server (display unit) side.
