** Security is the prevention of illegal or unwanted penetration, intentional or unintentional interference with the proper and intended operation, or inappropriate access to confidential information in industrial automation and control systems.
Woodward has launched hardware and software updates to address many CIP requirements; however, complete NERC/CIP compliance involves more than the controls and is dependent on plant infrastructure and procedures. The physical security remains the user’s responsibility.

Upgrade Considerations
- Cyber-ready units—part numbers 5466-1045 (CPU) & 5466-1046 (RTN) )—support Coder 6.0 but don’t include license
- Cyber license activation required for 5466-1045 & -1046 to be Cyber Enabled: License part number 8928-5222
- Cyber-enabled part numbers 5466-1145 (CPU) and 5466-1146 (RTN)—supports Coder 6.0 and includes license
- Flat rate upgrade charge for CPU and RTN factory hardware and firmware upgrades (5466-1035 or -1045 Rev F or later modules)
- Flat rate repair charge for CPU and RTN hardware replacement (5466-1035 or 1045 Rev New to E modules)
- GAP application changes to migrate to new coder (6.0) and implement security features
- HMI application upgrade must be considered (iFix 3.5 to 5.1)
- Communication protocol updates (move to OPC)
- Computer hardware and operating system versions may need upgrade (Windows XP to Windows 7)
- May require communications strategy or overall IT networking/infrastructure changes
- Cyber-secure hardware without user license may be purchased, license can be added at a later date
