Introduction

2.1 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).
2.2 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.

3.1 Brownfield Connectivity Gateway
Brownfield Connectivity is a service designed to establish a connection between the
production network and higher-level information systems. BFC is integrated into the
structural framework of an existing software and architecture concept, the so-called
brownfield. You can use the central BFC Gateway to connect SINUMERIK control systems,
external control systems, and automation technology for which there is currently no Siemens
standard solution to higher-level systems. The system offers extensive options for internal
adaptation to custom-specific requirements.

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.
Proceed as follows to prevent damage to the device:
Store the device at 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.
