Security functions
● Know-how protection for the parameter assignment, scripts and DCCs and DCC libraries
with password and encryption
● Copy protection for the configuration on the drive unit. The project can only be opened
together with the original card.
● Detection of parameter manipulation with STARTER via the project comparison.
● Activation/deactivation of unused functions (web server, ports). For more information, refer
to Section "Web server".
● Write protection for the parameter assignment. p-parameters can be read, but not written.
The write protection protects against changes to the parameter assignment and is only
available online.
Know-how protection for drive units
In addition to the know-how protection for DCCs, DCC libraries and scripts, you can also protect
the parameter assignment of your drive against unauthorized access via the know-how
protection for the drive. The function is only available online. You can find information on this
in chapter "Write protection and know-how protection (Page 31)".
Scripting
Scripts are used for automated execution in STARTER. You must therefore test the scripts
before using them on machines.
WARNING
Risk due to incorrect configurations for automated operating actions
Thanks to comprehensive automation options, scripting gives you the capability of automating
manual operations of the STARTER. As a result, the project and task configuration that is to
be repeated is optimized with regard to the time that is spent.
The script programmer and the script user are responsible for the operator actions
implemented in scripting.
Incorrect configurations that are not discovered in tests can result in serious physical injury
or death.
● Run systematic tests on new and modified scripts to verify and validate them.
● Before running a script, make sure it has the correct content. Verify and validate the results
of script execution by tests on the machine.
As for DCC charts, scripts can also be protected via know-how protection.

SINAMICS Drive Control Chart (DCC)
SINAMICS DCC offers a modular, scalable technology option, which has chiefly been
developed for drive-related, continuous open-loop and closed-loop control engineering tasks.
