Good to know that the Hass Control designers are up to the bench mark and that vital low level programme interpreters are protected by suitable 'hardening'. However if the unthinkable happens the conseququential action of the boss needs to be a factor as logical thinking has a habit of going missing when the blame game kicks off.
Glad to see this resolved as there are lessons for other machine builders who have not been dilligent about protecting their products operating code.
