Protecting the project
With the CM stick having

protection license you
can protect the
components.
You can protect the AOI

or Routine – different
languages.

Protecting the project
And what happens if you unplug

the CM stick?
It depends on the controller.

Either you will not be able to
open a project or you will not be
able to see the logic of AOI or
routine.

Locking the project
When you lock a component, logic is
compiled into executable code and
encrypted. It is only decrypted by the
controller when it is ready to be executed.
Project files containing locked components
can be shared with users without licenses
to use the locked components. Those
users can use unprotected parts of the
project, upload and download the project
file, and even copy and paste locked
components into other project files.
Tip:
To lock or unlock a component, the license
must contain the View permission.

Execution Protection - Overview
 Execution Protection:
 What is: without the SD card and the right license there is no way to
run the code on other machines.
 A program that contains code with execution protection will cause a

major fault when going into run mode if the controller is not
authorized.
While, removal at Runtime is a minor fault

Execution Protection
Requirements:
• Component needs to have license

based protection.
• SD Card for the controller is required.
• Activation for Execution Protection.
• Appropriate project in Studio 5000 v30
or higher.
• Compact GuardLogix 5380,
CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix
5480, ControlLogix 5580, and
GuardLogix 5580 controllers v32.
