Safety instructions

2.2 Security information

High frequency radiation
NOTICE
Unwanted operating states
High-frequency radiation, for example from cellular phones, interferes with device functions
and can cause device malfunction.
This causes injury and damages the system.
Avoid high-frequency radiation:
 Remove the sources of radiation from the vicinity of the device.
 Switch off radiating devices.
 Reduce the radio output of radiating devices.
 Observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility (Page 113).
2.2 Security information
Siemens offers IT security mechanisms for its portfolio of automation and drive products in
order to support safe operation of the plant/machine. We recommend that you stay informed
about the IT security developments for your products. For information on this topic, refer to:
Industry Online Support (http://www.siemens.de/automation/csi_en_WW): You can register
for a product-specific newsletter here.
For the safe operation of a plant/machine, however, it is also necessary to integrate the
automation components into an overall IT security concept for the entire plant/machine,
which corresponds to the state-of-the-art IT technology. You can find information on this
under: Industrial Security (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Products used from other manufacturers should also be taken into account here.
Remote maintenance is not recommended for production and should be disabled before
production is started.
The remote maintenance settings are disabled by default. If you enable them for
maintenance purposes, disable the remote maintenance settings once again for production
in the start menu "Configuration > System", "Remote maintenance" (see configuration
settings, section "System settings").
If you use Remote configuration in production, we recommend using your own, private key
for security reasons (see section "Remote configuration of several devices", "Key
assignment").
If you are using a private key, the remote configuration service is only guaranteed from a PC
with installed private key file. Assign a password for logging on to the PC.
The Remote configuration service (SSH) is enabled by default. If you do not need remote
configuration, disable remote configuration in the system settings of the device during
production (see section "Remote configuration of several devices", "Securing remote
configuration").
