Industrial cybersecurity

2.1 Introduction to industrial cybersecurity
Due to the digitalization and increasing networking of machines and industrial plants, the risk of cyber attacks is also growing. Appropriate protective measures are therefore mandatory, particularly in the case of critical infrastructure facilities.
Refer to the System Manual (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/58649293) for general information and measures regarding industrial cybersecurity.
This section provides an overview of security-related information pertaining to your SIEMENS device.
NOTE
Security-relevant changes to software or devices are documented in the section New functions (Page 13).
2.2 Cybersecurity information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity 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 cybersecurity 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 nd only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For more information on protective industrial cybersecurity measures for implementation, please visit (https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/topic- areas/industrialcybersecurity.html). 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 customers’ exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates at all times, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Cybersecurity RSS Feed under (https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/services/cert.html).

3.3 Firmware functions
Functions
The CPU supports the following functions:

the messages for the system diagnostics and outputs these messages via a programming device/PC, HMI device, the web server or the integrated display. System diagnostics information is also available when the CPU is in STOP mode.| Diagnostics Function Manual (https://support.automation.siemens. com/WW/view/en/59192926)
Integrated web server| The web server lets you access the CPU data by means of a network. Evaluations, diagnostics, and modifications are thus possible over long distances. Monitoring and evaluation is possible without STEP 7; all you need is a web browser. Make sure that you take appropriate meas­ ures (e.g. limiting network access, using firewalls) to pro­ tect the CPU from being compromised.| •    Web server Function Manual

•    Security with SIMATIC S7 control­ lers System Manual
(https://support.industry.siemens. com/cs/ww/en/view/90885010)
Integrated trace functionality| Trace functionality supports you in troubleshooting and/or optimizing the user program.
You can record device tags and evaluate the recordings with the trace and logic analyzer function. Tags are, for example, drive parameters or system and user tags of a CPU.
The device saves the recordings. You can read out and permanently save the recordings with the configuration system (ES), if required. The trace and logic analyzer function is therefore suitable for monitoring highly dynamic processes.| Using the trace and logic analyzer function Function Manual (https://support.automation.siemens. com/WW/view/en/64897128)

3.3 Firmware functions

With the project trace, you can record the variables of multiple devices within a project, for example, a control- ler and a drive.

With the long-term trace, you can record up to 64 differ- ent tags for each cycle in a .csv file over a long period (e.g. hours, days).

|
OPC UA| With OPC UA, you can exchange data via an open and manufacturer- neutral communication protocol.

The CPU can act as OPC UA server. The CPU acting as the OPC UA server can communicate with OPC UA clients.

In turn, as an OPC UA client, the CPU can access an OPC UA server, allow the OPC UA server to run methods and read out information from the OPC UA server.

The OPC UA Companion Specification allows methods to be specified uniformly and independently of the manu- facturer. Using these specified methods, you can easily integrate devices from various manufacturers into your plants and production processes.

| Communication Function Manual (https://support.industry.siemens. com/cs/ww/en/view/59192925)
Configuration control| You can use configuration control to operate different real hardware configurations with a configured maxim- um configuration of the hardware. Especially in series machine manufacturing, this means you have the option of operating/configuring different configuration variants of a machine with a single project.| ET 200SP System Manual (https://support.industry.siemens. com/cs/ww/en/view/58649293)
PROFINET IO
RT (real time)| RT prioritizes PROFINET IO telegrams over standard tele- grams. This ensures the required determinism in the automation technology. In this process the data is trans- ferred via prioritized Ethernet telegrams.| PROFINET Function Manual (https://support.automation.siemens. com/WW/view/en/49948856)
IRT (isochronous real time)| A reserved bandwidth within the send clock is available for IRT data. The reserved bandwidth ensures that the IRT data can be transmitted in time-synchronized intervals, unaffected by other high network loading (e.g. TCP/IP communication or additional real time communication). Update times with maximum determinism can be real- ized through IRT. Isochronous applications are possible with IRT.
Isochronous mode| The Isochronous mode system property acquires meas- ured values and process data and processes the signals in a fixed system clock. Isochronous mode thus contributes to high control quality and hence to greater manufactur- ing precision. Isochronous mode reduces possible fluctu- ations of the process reaction times to a minimum. Time- assured processing makes higher machine cycles pos- sible.
MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol)| It is possible to establish redundant networks via the Media Redundancy Protocol. Redundant transmission links (ring topology) ensure that an alternative commu- nication path is made available if a transmission link fails. The PROFINET devices that are part of this redundant net- work form an MRP domain.
RT operation is possible with the use of MRP.

3.3 Firmware functions

extension MRPD is that, in the event of a failure of a device or a line in the ring, all other devices continue to be supplied with IO data without interruption and with short update times. MRPD is based on IRT and MRP. To realize media redund- ancy with short update times, the PROFINET devices par- ticipating in the ring send their data in both directions. The devices receive this data at both ring ports so that there is no reconfiguration time.| PROFINET Function Manual (https://support.automation.siemens. com/WW/view/en/49948856)
Shared device| The “Shared device” function allows you to divide the modules or submodules of an IO device up among differ- ent IO controllers. Numerous IO controllers are often used in larger or widely distributed systems. Without the “Shared device” function, each I/O module of an IO device is assigned to the same IO controller. Therefore, if sensors in close proximity to each other need to provide data to different IO controllers, multiple IO devices are required. The “Shared device” function allows the mod- ules or submodules of an IO device to be divided up among different IO controllers, thus allowing flexible automation concepts. You can, for example, combine I/O modules that are physically close to each other in one IO device.
PROFIenergy| PROFIenergy is a PROFINET-based data interface for switching off consumers centrally and with full coordina- tion during pause times regardless of the manufacturer or device type. The goal is that the process is only provided with the energy that is absolutely required. The majority of the energy is saved by the process; the PROFINET device itself only contributes a few watts of savings potential.
Integrated technology
Motion Control| The CPUs support the S7-1500 Motion Control functions via the technology objects speed axes, positioning axes, synchronized axes, external encoders, cams, cam tracks, and measuring inputs.
•    Speed-controlled axis for controlling a drive with speed specification
•    Positioning axis for position-controlled positioning of a drive
•    Synchronous axis to interconnect with a master value. The axis is synchronized to the master axis pos- ition.
•    External encoder for detecting the actual position of an encoder and its use as a master value for syn- chronous operation
•    Cams, cam track for position-dependent generation of switching signals
•    Measuring input for fast, accurate, and event- dependent sensing of actual positions
You program the technology objects with Motion Control instructions according to PLCopen.| Motion Control topic page (https://support.industry.siemens. com/cs/ww/en/view/109751049)

Know-how protection| The know-how protection protects user blocks against unauthorized access and modifications.| ET 200SP System Manual (https://support.industry.siemens.
comicslww/enlview158649293)
Copy protection| Copy protection links user blocks to the serial number of the SIMATIC Memory Card or to the serial number of the CPU. User programs cannot run without the corresponding SIMATIC Memory Card or CPU.
Local user management (as of FW version V3.1)| Improved management of users, roles, and CPU function rights (User Management & Access Control, UMAC).
You can used the local user management in the editor to manage all project users along with their rights (e.g. access rights) for users and roles of the project in the TIA Portal.
Access protection (up to FW version V3.0)| You can use authorization levels to assign separate rights to different user groups.
Integrity protection| The CPUs feature an integrity protection function by default. This helps to detect any manipulation of the engineering data on the SIMATIC Memory Card or during data transfer between the TIA Portal and the CPU, and to check communication from a SIMATIC HMI system to the CPU for possible manipulation of engineering data. The user receives a corresponding message about manipulation of engineering data detected by the integrity protection.
Password provider| As an alternative to manual password input you can connect a password provider to STEP 7. A password provider offers the following advantages:
•Convenient handling of passwords. STEP 7 reads the password automatically for the blocks. This saves you time.
•Optimum block protection because the users do not know the password itself.

PROFINET IO interface on the CPU (X1 P3)
The assignment corresponds to the Ethernet standard for an RJ45 connector.

• When autonegotiation is deactivated, the RJ45 socket is allocated as a switch (MDI-X).
• If autonegotiation is activated, then autocrossing is active and the RJ45 socket has either a device assignment (MDI) or switch assignment (MDI-X).

Assignment of the MAC addresses
The MAC address is a globally unique device identifier that is assigned to each PROFINET device in the factory. Its 6 bytes are divided into 3 bytes for the manufacturer ID and 3 bytes for the device ID (serial number). The front of the CPU 1512SP‑1 PN is lasered with the MAC address of the PROFINET interface.
The PROFINET interface X1 of the CPU 1512SP‑1 PN has three ports. Port 3 is located on the CPU. Ports 1 and 2 are located on the optional BusAdapter. In addition to the PROFINET interface, each PROFINET port also has a separate MAC address. There is therefore a total of four MAC addresses for the CPU 1512SP‑1 PN.
The MAC addresses of the PROFINET ports are needed for the LLDP protocol, for example for the neighborhood discovery function. The table below shows how the MAC addresses are assigned.
Table 4-2  Assignment of the MAC addresses

| Assignment
---|---
MAC address 1| PROFINET interface X1
•    Visible in STEP 7 for accessible devices
•    Lasered on the front of the CPU (start of the number range)
MAC address 2| Port X1 P1R (required for LLDP, for example)
MAC address 3| Port X1 P2R (required for LLDP, for example)
MAC address 4| Port X1 P3 (required for LLDP, for example)
