    Control visibility of display elements, including a button to go to your maintenance window. Check to see if the entered numeric password is the same as the stored or hardcoded variable. If it is the same make the elements visible. After the variable that controls visibility changes start a timer that will use a MOV command to change the entered numerical password to something incorrect. Possibly make a button to restart that timer. A logout button would do the same MOV command.

    I do know some of the login and password management dialogs are difficult on some PLC's like Eaton's XV100. Are you wanting to do this for a similar reason?

      ? You mean you'll be on a PC accessing the PLC through a webvisu?

      If you're accessing the PLC through the IDE on a PC you can make a Visu page that can only be accessed from the IDE because it lacks any way to navigate to. It's not particularly secure though and I'm sure could be navigated to if someone was really trying.

      Edit: The request would be a pseudo login button that has in its input configuration using the 'OnMouseClick' or 'OnMouseDown' set to write a variable using the VisuDialogs.Numpad as the input type and 'User another variable' filled in. Below is a picture. You could also have a hidden button that does the same thing, though then someone might accidently push it. The work around would be to require multiple hidden buttons be pushed either at the same time or sequentially.

      I don't have an answer for you on the user management side. You can check the library documentation here, possibly ERR_VUM_NO_USER_LOGGED_IN from that link would work but I don't know.

      On the Visu side you would write the name of the visualization you want to switch to to variable VisuElems.CurrentVisu

      Alternatively what you can do is make a button appear that will take you to the maintenance visualization. You would do that by selecting the element, browsing to the bottom of the Properties window and using the 'Access Rights' button. There you can make an element non-interactable or invisible if the correct user is not logged in.
