Security information
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 https://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.

Notes on V9.1 Update 1
Logic Matrix V9.1 Update1 contains the following enhancements or corrections:
- When using Causes with digital inputs only, handling of alarms did not work in Logic Matrix V9.1. This issue has now been resolved. If a matrix was handled with faulty Logic Matrix V9.1, a full compile of OS is required after installing this update (Logic Matrix V9.1 Update1).
Notes on V9.1 Update 2
Note
The changes from all previous updates are also included in the respective
subsequent update.
Logic Matrix V9.1 Update 2 contains the following enhancements or
corrections:
- When generating a matrix, the time stamp in the matrix generation log did not match the time stamp of the engineering system (ES). This issue has now been resolved. The time zone of the matrix generation log has been changed to match the time zone of the ES.
