Preface
Note on firmware/software support
Check regularly for new firmware/software versions or security updates and apply them. After
the release of a new version, previous versions are no longer supported and are not
maintained.
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer's exposure to
cyber threats.

Feed under

Observe the following security recommendations to prevent unauthorized access to the
system.
• Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with
suitable products.
• Keep the firmware up to date. Check regularly for security updates of the firmware and
use them.
• Restrict physical access to the device to qualified personnel.
