Multiple system management tools are built into the SmartGuard 600 controller and RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.
- You can password-protect the entire SmartGuard 600 controller so you cannot download any changes without the password. You can also password-protect the program with a separate password, to help prevent unauthorized edits to the program.
- Each safety device contains a configuration signature that changes any time the DeviceNet configuration or SmartGuard program changes, even if it is changed back to its original state. The configuration signature can be read by external devices, such as standard PLCs, HMI, or asset management software, to determine whether the configuration or program has been changed.
- Lastly, you can use the Safety Device Verification Wizard in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to safety-lock the SmartGuard 600 controller. Safety-locking via the Safety Device Verification Wizard verifies that the offline and online configuration and program are identical and provides documentation that you can keep in your files to show that the controller has not been tampered with.
