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.

SMC Wireless System Features and Summary SMC Wireless Products are modular devices consisting of a gateway (hereafter referred to as a Base) and wireless devices (hereafter referred to as Remotes). From an upper-level (PLC) control component, a Base appears to be a single system including Remotes paired with it.

Troubleshooting When problems occur, take appropriate countermeasures while referring to the LED indication, troubleshooting and parameter settings. If a cause applicable to the failure cannot be identified, this indicates that the equipment itself is broken. The fieldbus system damage can be caused by the operating environment. Contact SMC to obtain countermeasures.

LED off function The LED off function turns off all LED‘s except for the PWR LED. The LED‘s shown in red in the figure below are all turned off. Only the PWR LED repeats 0.2 [s] ON→0.2 [s] OFF→0.2 [s] ON→0.4 [s] OFF, to check the input power to the product.

ON/OFF time measurement funciton (Wireless Protocol V.2.0 only) The ON/OFF time measurement function measures the ON/OFF time between two input points and the ON/OFF time between two input/output points. It can measure ON/OFF‘s of up to 16 timers from timer 0 to timer 15.

[2] Set a measurement start/end trigger. A measurement start/end trigger (rising edge, falling edge and both edges) is set on the input channels or input/output channels assigned in the previous step. This example uses EXW1-RDX*, which allows setting of input channels only. Output channels can only be set with EXW1-RDM* and measuring between output channels is not possible.

Log function and notification function (Wireless Protocol V.2.0 only) The log function allows logging of data outside of the threshold range set for the ON/OFF time (see “ON/OFF time measurement function”). The last 40 logs can be viewed at once. Up to five logs are kept for each timer and can be viewed individually.

Input Bit 7 Bit 0 Byte N Byte N+1 Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Byte N+2 Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Notification Byte N+3 [1] Set upper and lower limits of threshold range for each timer. Each timer can have upper and lower limits of the threshold range from 0 to 65535 ms.
Page 40
[3] Clear the notification Clear the notification is included in “clear the number of measurements outside of the threshold range(Ch #: Clear(All)(page 26))” or “change the number of measurements to send notification (Ch #: Clear(All)(page 26))”. The table below shows how the IO Configurator displays logs. Up to the last 40 logs can be viewed at once. Sorting by timer allows up to five logs per timer to be viewed.
Page 41
Acquired data The data acquired by the “ON/OFF time measurement function (Wireless Protocol V.2.0 only) (page 34)“ and “Log funtion and notification funciton (Wireless Protocol V.2.0 only) (page 37)“ are the latest value, average value, maximum value, minimum value, number of measurements outside of the threshold range, and total number of measurements.
