If intellectual property protection is a priority, uncheck the "Allow Project Upload" option during the final compilation phase. This completely removes the source code files from the physical HMI, making it impossible to reverse-engineer via software tools.
Every interactive component (button, input box, slider) has a property called "Minimum Operation Permission Level" . If the currently logged-in user’s level is less than the component’s required level, the component is grayed out or completely invisible. mcgs hmi password work
| Practice | Implementation | |----------|----------------| | Password Management Tool | Use software like KeePass to store passwords bound to device serial numbers | | Three-Tier Permission System | Operator (equipment start/stop only) / Engineer (parameter adjustment) / Administrator (all access) | | Automated Backup | Configure daily local backups plus monthly offsite archives | | Password Change Schedule | Require periodic password updates for all accounts | If intellectual property protection is a priority, uncheck
To prevent a high-level user from walking away, add a Timer to call !SetCurrentLevel(0) after 5 minutes of inactivity. If the currently logged-in user’s level is less
MCGS software primarily utilizes three distinct password types. Each serves a different protective function within the engineering environment.
MCGS (Monitor and Control Generated System) is a widely used Human-Machine Interface (HMI) platform in industrial automation. Security in industrial control systems is critical to prevent unauthorized modifications, accidental operational changes, or intellectual property theft. MCGS offers a multi-layered password architecture that engineers must understand to maintain system integrity.
If your project uses a USB or SD card for data logging, store passwords in RW area ( RW 0 to RW 9999 ). These are non-volatile.
