MAC E300 backup

[Inntele 60]

Hi everybody!

I should help to upgrade some automation equipment, that has a FX2n and MAC E300 onboard. I.e. all SPS are quite old, obsolete and discontinued in production for a long. So will be useful to make an uploading of program from the HMI, otherwise, when it may die, all autmomation system will  die...

However, in contrast to the PLC program, the program in HMI is password protected for upload and download. Excuse for my question, but is there a way to bypass this password without losing an HMI program.

Thanks in advance

There is a way..... But I have partly forgotten.

You have to put the hmI into setup mode.

Then enter a new password

If I remember, the original always starts with PS********

You have to put PD*******  where ***** is the new password

This overrides all passwords

 

Read the manual to be sure

Hi Ron_S!

Happy New Year and thank you for the information!

The most manuals, both and knowledge database for MAC E are not available anymore. I've found just one manual, and the procedure, except of PD******* , is not described there. The default password is absent in the manual too.
I found one mention about the default password, but that password is longer by one digit...
I've already finished the job, so can not access to the HMI for checking...

Cheers
