Chapter 5 Program Organization Units and Tasks
The POU can be copied into the same project or another project. If the POU copied is a POU of the
program type, it can not be copied into the Function Blocks section. If the POU copied is POU of
the function block type, it can not be copied into the Programs section. If the users want to paste
the POU, they have to right-click Programs or Function Blocks, point to POU on the context menu,
and click Paste. Besides, if the POU copied is a POU of the program type, the POU pasted will not
be assigned to any task.
*. If a POU is pasted on a position where the same POU name exists, the system will put CopyOf_n at the end of the
POU which is pasted. (n in CopyOf_n is a serial number.)
5.4.4 Setting and Unlocking a POU Password
Users can set a password for a POU in ISPSoft. The setting of a password, and the unlocking of the
password are described below.
(1) When users create a POU, they can set a password for the POU. If users do not set a
password a POU when the POU is created, but want to protect the POU with a password later,
they have to right-click the POU in the project management area, point to POU on the context
menu, and click Properties… to open the Properties window.
(2) Type the same passwords in the Enter Password box and the Confirmation box, and then
click OK. English letters, numerical digits, and special marks can be typed in the boxes. Once
the POU is protected with the password, the system asks the users to type the password
whenever the window for the POU is opened.
