 - Protection of industrial automation networks against unauthorized access and setup of a DMZ (protected zone) possible for data exchange with other networks without having to grant direct access to the production network.
- Through implementation of the cell protection concept:
- Protection of any Ethernet-based programmable controllers and automation systems which do not have their own security functions
- Protecting several devices simultaneously
- Reduction in risk by means of network segmenting (by generating secure communication islands)
- Safeguarding of communication to and from the automation cells is possible
- User-specific firewall rules can be used to assign specific access privileges to users and not just to devices.
- System-wide network diagnostics thanks to integration into IT infrastructures and network management systems by means of SNMP
- Safeguarding of remote access via the Internet. Using PPPoE and DynDNS, dynamic IP addresses can also be applied.
- Problem-free integration into existing networks without reconfiguring terminal nodes or setting up new IP subnetworks
- Module replacement without the need for a programming device, using the C-PLUG swap media for backing up the configuration data
- Direct integration in ring structures and FO networks is possible (SCALANCE S627-2M)
