NOTE: Risk of unauthorized network access
Connecting devices to a network via Ethernet always entails the risk of unauthorized ac-
cess to the network.
Therefore, please check your application for any option of deactivating active communi-
cation channels (e.g., SNMP, SFTP, BootP, DCP) or setting passwords to prevent third
parties from accessing the controller without authorization and modifying the system.
Because of the controller's communication interfaces, we advise against using the con-
troller in safety-critical applications without additional security appliances.
Please take additional protective measures in accordance with the IT security require-
ments and the standards applicable to your application (e.g. virtual networks (VPN) for re-
mote maintenance access, firewalls, etc.) for protection against unauthorized network
access.
