Virus scanners
Virus scanners can negatively affect the behavior of an NC control.
Possible negative effects are feed rate drops or system crashes,
for example. Such negative effects are unacceptable in numerical
controls for machine tools. HEIDENHAIN therefore does not offer a
virus scanner for the control and does not recommend using a virus
scanner.
The control provides the following alternatives:
SELinux
Firewall
Sandbox
Locking from external access
Monitoring of TCP and UDP ports
If properly configured, these options ensure extremely effective
protection for the data of the control.
If you insist on using a virus scanner, you must operate the control
in a protected network (with a gateway and a virus scanner). The
subsequent installation of a virus scanner is not possible.
