Lock MyCycles can be used to encrypt cycles and then store them as protected data in the control.
Execution in the NC is possible without restrictions, but it is not possible to view the cycle. This protects the internal company know-how. The cycle can, however, be copied in encrypted form. It can, therefore, be used on other machines. However, it is also possible to permanently link the cycle to a specific CNC hardware.

All-round PLC machine program protection (SW version 4.6 and higher) is afforded with SIMATIC STEP 7 V5.5 and higher by encrypted block protection with the S7 Block Privacy program for the offline and online views. The KNOW-HOW-PROTECT function is still included in the application to guard technological knowledge against unauthorized access.
