Industrial security

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 (http://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.

To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS

Feed at (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/start?).

In addition, observe the security statements, which are also valid for this documentation,

from the "Industrial Edge - Security overview

(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/109781002)" manual.

Connecting an IPC Edge Device

You have the following options to connect the IPC Edge Device to the IEM:

•Connecting through an USB flash drive

•Connecting through the IPC Edge Device UI

Both options require the IPC Edge Device configuration file.

Requirements for adding an Edge Device

•The IPC Edge Device is switched on.

•The IPC Edge Device is connected to the local network.

Connecting an IPC Edge Device

3.1 Connecting the Edge Device through an USB flash drive

SIMATIC IPC Industrial Edge Device - Operation V1.3

3.1 Connecting the Edge Device through an USB flash drive

Requirement

•1 USB flash drive is available.

•The Edge Device configuration file has been created.

Procedure

1. Copy the Edge Device configuration file on an USB flash drive.

Ensure that just 1 configuration file is saved to the USB flash drive. Otherwise, the

connecting process causes problems and fails.

2. Insert the USB flash drive into the Edge Device.

The connecting process is being started automatically. The "Run" LED flashes green and

the "Maintenance" LED flashes yellow.

3. Wait until the connecting process is completed.

When the Edge Device is connected successfully to the IEM, the "Run" LED lights up green.

Note

Connection successful

When the Edge

Device is connected successfully to the IEM, the status indicator at the top

of the Edge

Device tile in the IEM switches to green and the IP address of the Edge Device

is displayed under the name of the Edge Device.

To open the UI of the Edge Device, either click on the tile of the Edge Device, if the remote

access is enabled, or enter the IP address of the Edge Device into your Internet browser.

Use the HTTPS protocol, for example "https://192.168.80.123".

Note

Log file "conf

-usb.log" and log file "services.log"

During the connecting process, the "conf

usb.log" and "services.log" files are created in the

USB flash drive. In case of any errors, open these log files in a text editor for detailed

information. In add

ition, you can check the steps of each service, if it was successful or

not, in the "services.log" file.

Supported USB File Systems and Partition System Combinations

The following File Systems and Partitions are supported in the system:

•File Systems

FAT32, NTFS and ext4 (Linux format)

•Partitions

MBR, GPT
