Chapter 9 Controller Security
Compatibility The Controller Password feature is supported on:
• Connected Components Workbench software version 2 and later
• Micro800 controllers with firmware revision 2
For users with earlier versions of the software and/or revisions of the
hardware, see the compatibility scenarios below.
Connected Components Workbench Software Version 1 with Micro800 Controller
Firmware Revision 2
Connection to a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 2 using an earlier
version of the Connected Components Workbench software (version 1) is
possible and connections will be successful. However, the software will not be
able to determine whether the controller is locked or not.
If the controller is not locked, access to the user application will be allowed,
provided the controller is not busy with another session. If the controller is
locked, access to the user application will fail. You need to upgrade to version 2
of the Connected Components Workbench software.
Connected Components Workbench Software Version 2 with Micro800 Controller
Firmware Revision 1
Connected Components Workbench software version 2 is capable of
“discovering” and connecting to Micro800 controllers with firmware revision
earlier than revision 2 (that is, not supporting the Controller Password
feature). However, the Controller Password feature will not be available to
these controllers. The user will not be able see interfaces associated with the
Controller Password feature in the Connected Components Workbench
software session.
Users are advised to upgrade the firmware. See Flash Upgrade Your Micro800
Firmware on page 217 for instructions.
Work with a Locked
Controller
The following workflows are supported on compatible Micro800 controllers
(firmware revision 2) and Connected Components Workbench software
version 2.
Upload from a Password-Protected Controller
1. Launch the Connected Components Workbench software.
2. In the Project Organizer, expand Catalog by clicking the + sign.
3. Select the target controller.
ATTENTION: Connected Components Workbench software version 9 or earlier
with Micro800 controller firmware revision 10 or later
If a Micro800 controller with firmware revision 10 or later is locked using the new
password algorithm introduced in Connected Components Workbench software
version 10 or later, it cannot be accessed using Connected Components
Workbench software version 9 or earlier. Users are advised to upgrade to the
latest version of Connected Components Workbench software.
