Industrial PCs can also be equipped with a firewall and VPN client by means of the Simatic NET CP 1628 module. The security module Scalance S623 is also new; with an additional DMZ port for service access, as is the UMTS router Scalance M875 for secure access to plant units via the UMTS mobile network.
Under the name of Security Integrated, Siemens IA&DT is presenting network components that also offer security features such as access control in the basic version. The Simatic NET CP 341-1 Advanced and Simatic NET CP 443-1 Advanced communications processors with extended functional scope also enable connection to the S7-300 or S7-400 controllers via VPN.
It is also possible to define more detailed safety settings and access rights via the integrated firewall. In this manner, the communications processors secure access across the entire plant network. The integrated switch also supports secure connection of the lower-level controllers and HMI and I/O devices.
The Security Integrated range also includes the new Simatic NET CP 1628 module for industrial PCs. It supports secure connection of industrial PCs to the network via a VPN and firewall. In this manner, computers equipped with the module can be connected to protected cells. It is also possible to access an industrial PC with an integral CP 1628 using the Softnet Security Client application over the Internet or a company-internal network via remote access.
