What are the customer benefits?
Due to the digitalization and increasing
networking of machines and industrial
plants, the risk of cyber attacks is also grow-
ing. Appropriate protective measures are
therefore mandatory, particularly in the case
of critical infrastructure facilities.
The section contains the following infor-
mation:
•
Basic information on the subject of in-
dustrial cybersecurity
•
Measures to protect individual compo-
nents and the entire system against ma-
nipulation and unwanted access.
The CPU stores syslog messages in a local
cache (temporary storage).
The messages can be forwarded to a syslog
server.
As of TIA Portal version V19 and FW version
V3.1, the CPUs feature improved manage-
ment of users, roles and CPU function rights
(User Management & Access Control,
UMAC).
As of the above-named version, you man-
age all project users along with their rights
(e.g. access rights) for all CPUs in the pro-
ject. You do this in the editor for users and
roles in the TIA Portal.
•
Sequential programming of technology
and motion tasks takes place separately
and independently of the cyclic user
program of the CPU
•
Integrated extensions for technological
tasks, e.g. path-synchronous actions
•
Simple and fast programming through
configuration dialogs
