Security in the network
NOTE: Risk of unauthorized network access
Connecting devices to a network via Ethernet always entails the risk of unauthorized
access to the network.
Therefore, please check for the option of disabling active communication channels in
your application (e.g., FTP, DCP, HTTP, HTTPS, etc.) or setting passwords to prevent
third parties from accessing the controller without authorization and modifying the sys
-
tem.
Due to its communication interfaces, the controller should not be used in safety-critical
applications unless additional security appliances are used.
Please take additional precautions in accordance with the IT security requirements
and standards applicable to your application (e.g., virtual networks (VPN) for remote
maintenance access, firewalls, etc.) to prevent unauthorized network access.
