4.7 Security features
The security features of a central communication device, such as the 7KN Powercenter 3000,
provide protection against unauthorized access and require specific attention during use. In
the same way that a lock on a door provides protection and is also an obstacle that can be
overcome with the matching key.
Provided that the necessary security measures are applied, the security features protect the
7KN Powercenter 3000 from unauthorized access.
For each application of the 7KN Powercenter 3000, depending on the hazard potential and
the operating environment, a decision must be made as to which security features will be
used.
It is important to consistently disconnect the external network environment from the smart
assembly network.
The smart assembly network must be physically protected, e.g. doors, sheet metal
enclosures, locks, which must be protected from tampering. This network must never be
connected to another network with unknown or insecure network nodes.
Each Security measure can be selected via the web user interface → Settings → General for
each Ethernet interface and each feature.
• On the X1P1 interface, security measures (hardening) are activated on delivery and can be
deactivated.
• On the X2P1 interface, security features are deactivated on delivery and can be activated.
For that reason, the X2P1 interface has to be used when the device is commissioned for
the first time.
