Information
Since the module allows access to the data contained in the ITS, it can only be connected
to networks that meet all the necessary requirements for safety and prevention of
unauthorized access (for example, the network of the control system of an installation).
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all the necessary safety measures are
adopted (for example, firewalls, and so on). The module cannot be connected directly to
the Internet, it is recommended to connect it only to dedicated Ethernet networks, with
the Modbus TCP communication protocol.
