Safety Lock/Unlock dialog box

Use the
Safety Lock/Unlock
 dialog box to change the lock state of the Safety application. Locking the Safety application protects the application from unauthorized changes, and prevents editing of safety components, such as safety task, safety programs, safety routines, safety Add-On Instructions, safety tags, safety I/O, and safety task signature.
TIP:
Do one of the following to open the Safety Lock/Unlock dialog:
  • Select
    Tools
     >
    Safety
     >
    Safety Lock/Unlock
    .
  • On the
    Online
     toolbar, select the
    Controller Properties
     icon. On the
    Controller Properties
     dialog box, select the
    Safety
     tab, and then select
    Safety Lock/Unlock
    .
The
Safety Lock/Unlock
 dialog box and the parameters will vary, depending on the current state of the application (that is, if the application is currently locked, the dialog box will appear as the
Unlock
 dialog box, and vice versa).
