General information

1.2.6.3 Programs, viruses and malicious programs

Any data exchange or installation of software using data storage media (e.g. floppy disk, CD-ROM, USB flash
drive, etc.) or via networks or the Internet poses a potential threat to the system. It is the user's own responsibility to
avert these dangers and to take appropriate measures such as virus protection programs, firewalls, etc. to protect
against them and to use only software from trustworthy sources.

1.2.7 Environmentally friendly disposal

All programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices and uninterruptible power supplies from B&R
are designed to have as little impact on the environment as possible.

1.2.7.1 Separation of materials

To ensure that devices can be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner, it is necessary to separate out the
different materials.
Component
Programmable logic controllers
Operating and monitoring devices
Uninterruptible power supply
Batteries and accumulators
Cables
Cardboard/Paper packaging
Plastic packaging material
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with applicable legal regulations.

1.2.8 Security concept

To secure plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is required to implement (and contin-
uously maintain) a holistic security concept that is state of the art. B&R products and solutions are only one com-
ponent of such a concept.
The user is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to plants, systems, machines and networks. Systems,
machines and components should only be connected to the corporate network or Internet if and only to the extent
necessary and if appropriate protective measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) have been
taken.
B&R products and solutions are constantly being further developed to make them even more secure. B&R expressly
recommends that updates be performed as soon as the corresponding updates are available and that only current
product versions be used. Using outdated or no longer supported versions can increase the risk of cyber threats.

1.2.9 Third-party updates

This product includes third-party software (drivers, etc.). B&R only assumes warrants for updates/patches to third-
party software if they have been officially released by B&R. Otherwise, updates/patches are performed at your
own risk.

1.2.10 Administrator accounts

A user with administrator rights has extensive options for accessing and manipulating the system.
Therefore, make sure that administrator accounts are adequately secured in order to prevent unauthorized
changes. To do this, use secure passwords and a standard user account for regular operation. Additional measures
such as the use of security policies must be applied as needed.
