Is it possible to partially restrict the types of communications allowed through a ControlLogix communications module?
Ideally I'd like something similar to the RSLogix5/PLC-5 controller password. You need a password to go online with the controller in RSLogix, but an HMI can still access tag data.
We have a large number of small air-gapped systems that we program with multiple individual laptops using local accounts. There is no central authentication for the programming computers or central network that all controllers are connected to. I don't think FactoryTalk Security will work without restricting each system to the local account on the particular laptop that set it up.
We have a very specialized application in a unique industry with a lot of very very odd restrictions on how systems are allowed to interact or be interconnected. So no, I can't put everything on an Active Directory to sync all the user accounts and use FactoryTalk Security or anything like that.
