Requirements for Application Development
Chapter 7
Security
The user must define what measures are to be applied for the protection against
manipulation.
In the ControlLogix system and in RSLogix 5000 software, protection
mechanisms are available that prevent unintentional or unauthorized
modifications to the safety system:
•
The following tools may be employed for security reasons in a
SIL 2-certified ControlLogix application:
–
Logix CPU Security
–
Routine Source Protection
–
FactoryTalk
®
AssetCentre
Each of these features or products offers different security features,
including password protection, at varying levels of granularity throughout
the application. The description of these tools is too large in scope to list in
detail here. Contact your local Rockwell Automation representative for
more information.
•
The controller keyswitch must be in the RUN position and the key
removed during normal operating conditions.

•
In RSLogix 5000 software, version 18 and later, you can set tags to be
standard, read-only, or constant values. Read-only blocks external devices
(for example, HMIs and other controllers) from changing a tag. Constants
block everything, including user logic from changing a tag value. All SIL 2
safety-related tags should be set to read-only. Where possible, configure
SIL 2 safety tags as constant value tags.
The requirements of the safety and application standards regarding the
protection against manipulations must be observed. The authorization of
employees and the necessary protection measures are the responsibility of the
individuals starting and maintaining the SIL 2 safety system.
