Fieldbus System/ Industrial IoT Cybersecurity In recent years, factories have introduced industrial IoT, building up complex networks of production machines. These systems maybe subject to a new threat, cyberattack. To protect the industrial IoT from cyberattacks, it is important to take multiple measures (multi-layer protection) for IoT devices, networks and clouds. For this purpose, SMC recommends that the following measures are always taken into consideration.
1. Product summary The SI (Serial Interface) Unit is an IO-Link compatible device for control of SMC pneumatic valve manifold. The SI Unit controls a 64 station compatible manifold and has the following properties: IP67 protection The M12 connector (5-pin plug, A-coded) for IO-Link communication and power supply ...
2. Installation 2.1. Mounting 2.1.1. Valve manifold connection Connect the valve manifold with the 2 screws on the SI Unit. (Hexagonal socket wrench size 2.5 mm) Note Tighten the screws while holding the SI Unit and the valve manifold so that there is no gap between them.
2.2. Wiring Connect the communication / power cable and the FE cable. Select the appropriate cables to mate with the connectors mounted on the SI Unit, refer to Section 1. M12 5-pin plug, A-coded, communication / power connector 2. M3, FE (Functional Earth) terminal screw Fig 2-3.
Page 13
2.2.2. FE terminal The SI Unit must be connected to FE (Functional Earth) to divert electromagnetic interference. Connect a grounding cable from the FE terminal screw on the SI Unit to the nearest functional earth point. The grounding cable should be as thick and short as reasonably possible. The recommended tightening torque for the FE terminal is 0.3 Nm.
3. Configuration 3.1. IODD file An IODD (IO Device Description) file is a profile held by an IO-Link device, which contains device specific information such as process data, parameter and default values, vendor name and product name etc. The content of the IODD file description is defined as the IO-Link specification. The IODD file is supplied with a set of image files e.g., vendor logo, device photo and device icon.
