Protect access to Rapid Module and/or Procedures

dragolollo

Hello,

Is it possible to protect the access to RAPID Modules and/or Procedures through password?

My client asked me to do this in order to prevent the final user to see the code on RobotStudio and on the teach pendant.

Thank you!

Hi ...

dragolollo ...

To protect your codes on the pendant, simply mark it as a system module ...

MODULE ModuleXX(SYSMODULE,NOSTEPIN,VIEWONLY)

However, to protect your code from unauthorized copies, you will have to create verification routines, tied to your controller for example.

To prevent anyone from seeing the content of your modules, you can encrypt them before making them available

Good Job

Is it possible to encrypt in RobotStudio? How is possible to do it?

Hi ...

There is a tool that I know and use to encrypt modules in Rapid, although I cannot share it, as this application belongs to a former colleague, I can encrypt your files, if you are interested send me an email.

Good Job

I tried it. It works but put \Encode directory in root c directory and edit the paths in the bat file and it works fine on win 11. Run the bat file from the command prompt. Works on .sys, .prg or .mod files.
