Introduction

3.1 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 customers' exposure to
cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed visit (https://www.siemens.com/cert).
3.2 IT security on the northbound side
Ensure sufficient IT security on the northbound side. "Control activities" have a special risk.
We urgently recommend not making the web interface available at any location other than at
the production network.
Note
Proper user administration required
Select one dedicated access token / login information per device.

Introduction
3.3 IT security on the southbound side
SIMATIC FDE Gateway V1
8Equipment Manual, 05/2023, A5E52683268-AB
3.3 IT security on the southbound side
The FDE Gateway provides field data in IT environments.
Ensure that the outputs of the device are not used to control automation processes, but
solely for signaling purposes.
Make sure to protect the southbound connection in accordance with currently recognized
security guidelines. This prevents spying on the field data. More information and application
notes can be found here: (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
3.4 Personal data
During the configuration of the FDE gateway, it is possible to store user-specific data such as
certificates, usernames, and access passwords. This data is stored on the device and, if
necessary, used service-specifically during operation. To erase this data, it is necessary to
reset the device to factory settings, see (Page 49).

5.8 Preparing for installation
1. When accepting a delivery, check the packaging for visible transport damage.
If there is any transport damage at the time of delivery, make a complaint to the responsible
forwarding company.
2. Unpack the device at its installation location.
3. Keep the original packaging in case you need to transport the device again.
Note
Damage to the device during transport and storage
If a device is transported or stored without packaging, then shocks, vibrations, pressure,
and moisture may affect the unprotected device. Damaged packaging is an indication that
ambient conditions have already had a significant impact on the device.
The device may be damaged.
Do not dispose of the original packaging. Be sure to pack the device during transport and
storage.
4. Check the contents of the packaging and the accessories for completeness and damage.
Scope of delivery:
– Device
– DC connection terminal (plugged into the device).

20 Equipment Manual, 05/2023, A5E52683268-AB
5. If the package contents are incomplete or damaged, or do not correspond to your order,
please immediately inform the responsible delivery company.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and fire due to device damage
A damaged device can carry dangerous voltage and trigger a fire in the machine or plant.
A damaged device has unpredictable properties and states.
Death or serious injury can be the result.
Ensure that the damaged device is not installed and commissioned unintentionally. Label
the damaged device correspondingly and keep it locked up. Send in the device so that it
can be repaired as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Damage caused by condensation
If the device is exposed to low temperatures or extreme fluctuations in temperature
(such as during cold weather) during transport, this may cause moisture to build up on
or in the device (condensation).
Moisture may cause a short-circuit and damage the device.
To prevent damage to the device, do the following:
Store the device in a dry location.
Let the device warm up to room temperature before commissioning.
Do not expose the device to direct heat radiation from a heater.
If condensation occurs, wait about 12 hours or until the device is completely dry before
switching it on.
6. Make a note of the device's identification data.
