Is it possible to disable Maintenance Mode in ControlExpert?
We are currently using EcoStruxure Control Expert 16.0 XLS. During the commissioning phase of our machines we use Maintenance Mode in Control Expert. However, once a machine has been validated and is in production, we want to ensure that Maintenance Mode can no longer be activated - either intentionally or accidentally.
Is there a way to permanently disable or restrict access to the Maintenance Mode after security validation has been done?
If so, what steps or configurations are required to achieve this?
If not is such a setting planned?
Any guidance or best practices you can share would be greatly appreciated.
