Explanation 

Up to eight characters (only uppercase alphabetic characters and 
numeric characters) can be input. 
 

NOTE 

1  For a password, consisting of three to eight 

characters, the following characters are available: 

•

  Uppercase alphabetic characters 

•

 Numeric characters 

2  When a password is being entered, an asterisk (*) 

is displayed instead of each entered character. 

3  Whether a password can be changed at the current 

operation level is determined as follows: 

•

  Password of an operation level higher than the 

current operation level 

  Cannot be changed. 

•

  Password of the current operation level 

  Can be changed. 

•

  Password of an operation level lower than the 

current operation level 

  Can be changed (only to the initial password).

Explanation 

When the protection level of a data item is higher than the current 
operation level, the protection level of the data item cannot be 
changed. 
The protection level of a data item cannot be changed to a protection 
level higher than the current operation level. 
For each of the following types of data, you can set a data protection 
level. There are the following two types of data protection levels: 

•

 

Change protection level 

 

Sets the protection level used when data is changed. 

•

 

Output protection level 

 

Sets the protection level used when data is output (punched out) 
to an external unit.   

As a protection level, you can set a value of 0 (low) to 7 (high).

NOTE 

1  For some types of data, the output function is not provided. 
2  When the protection level of data is higher than the current operation level, the 

protection level cannot be changed. 

3  The protection level of data cannot be changed to a level higher than the current 

operation level. 

4  Settable types of data increase or decrease, depending on the option configuration. 
5  For details on the protection level of PMC data, refer to “PMC Programming Manual 

(B-63983EN)”. 

6  Data related to tool information on the EACH TOOL DATA screen for the tool 

management function is protected by protecting tool offset data. 

7  The type of tool offset data put in effect varies depending on the tool compensation 

value memory used. 

8  To change the protection level for each part program, do so on the PROGRAM 

FOLDERscreen rather than on the PROTECT LEVEL screen. 

9  Part program editing includes program editing for the MDI mode. 
10 Presetting absolute coordinates causes preset workpiece coordinate system values 

to be protected.   

11 During tool offset data input/output, if any tool offset data type is not allowed to be 

changed or output to the outside, it is processed as follows: 

- Input  : Any data type other than those whose change is not allowed is changed. 
- Output  : Any data type other than those whose change is not allowed is output.
