Built-in operational cyber security features

With connected and online controllers, operational security is critical.

The Linux system in the iE 350 PLC provides cutting-edge security features.

For example, boot and firmware updates can only be carried out with signed update packages.

By default, there is only one user (admin) account on the iE 350 PLC. Still, you can create and manage

multiple users and access rights to ensure that the necessary users can handle the unit

while protecting theiE 350 PLC from unauthorised access.

CODESYS web visualisation is managed through certificate handling via the system web page.

Authentication keys are added via system web configuration, and the iE 350 PLC builds

on standard secure file transfer and access protocols like SSH and SCP.

Finally, the Linux system is less vulnerable to ordinary computer virus attacks than Windows-based PLCs.
