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.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For additional information on industrial security measures that may be
implemented, please visit
Link: (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 under

Security recommendations
To prevent unauthorized access, observe the following security recommendations when
working with the optical readers and WBM (Web Based Management).

Preface
SIMATIC MV500
6Operating Instructions, 06/2018, C79000-G8976-C494-01
General
●Check regularly that the device complies with these recommendations and/or other
internal security policies.
●Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with
suitable products.
●Do not connect the device directly to the Internet. Operate the device within a protected
network area.
Physical access
●Restrict physical access to the device to qualified personnel.
●Lock unused hardware ports on the device. Unused ports can be used to access the
system without authorization.
Software (security functions)
●Keep the software up to date. Keep yourself informed regularly about safety updates for
the product.
You can find information about this at Link: (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
●Activate only protocols that you actually need to use the device.
●Limit access to the device using a firewall or rules in an access control list (ACL).
●The configuration files are available in XML format for simple use. Make sure that the
configuration files outside the device are suitably protected. You can, for example,
encrypt the files, store them at a safe location and transfer them only via secure
communications channels.
●We recommend that you disable the "CONNECT" function after initial commissioning.
●The functions for archiving as well as the remote functions (MMI) may only be activated in
networks protected by a firewall.
Passwords
●Activate user management and create new user profiles.
●Change all default passwords for users before operating the device.
●Only use passwords with high password strength. Avoid weak passwords, e.g.
password1, 123456789, abcdefgh.
●Define rules for using devices and assigning passwords.
●Make sure that all passwords are protected and inaccessible to unauthorized personnel.
●Do not use the same password for different users and systems.
●Update passwords and keys regularly to improve security.

Preface
SIMATIC MV500
Operating Instructions, 06/2018, C79000-G8976-C494-01 7
Firmware encryption
The firmware itself is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only authentic firmware can be
downloaded to the device.
Secure/non-secure protocols
●Check whether it is necessary to use SNMPv1. SNMPv1 is classified as non-secure.
Make use of the possibility to prevent write access. The product offers corresponding
settings for this.
●If SNMP is activated, change the community names. If unrestricted access is not
necessary, limit access via SNMP.
●Use secure protocols if access to the device is not protected by means of physical
safeguards.
The following protocols provide secure alternatives:
HTTP → HTTPS
●To prevent unauthorized access to the device or network, set up appropriate safeguards
against non-secure protocols.
●Enable only the services (protocols) that will actually be used on the device. The same
applies to the installed interfaces/ports. Unused ports could be used to access the
network downstream from the device.

Description
1
1.1
Area of application
The products of the SIMATIC MV500 series are optical readers designed specifically for the
recognition and processing of numerous machine-readable codes and plain text in industrial
production.
The optical readers provide a wide range of options for identification:
●Reading numerous machine-readable 1D and 2D codes
●A combination of the options listed above
Over and above this, the optical readers provide important functions for:
●Verification of the marking quality of machine-readable codes (according to standards).
●"OK"/"N_OK" evaluation based on numerous criteria.
●Position and orientation recognition, for example for "pick & place" tasks.
In the SIMATIC MV500 device series, particular emphasis was placed on:
●Ruggedness
●Reliability
●Easy installation
●Browser-based, no-installation, user interface / Web Based Management (WBM)
●Ease of operation
This applies not only to the mechanical properties but also to the high-quality image
processing functions of all devices in the SIMATIC MV500 product series.
Key functions of the optical reader
●Reading machine-readable markings
The list of readable codes includes all common matrix and barcodes that can usually be
detected reliably regardless of the print technique or the carrier medium used.
●"OK"/"N_OK" evaluation
Whether for checking quality criteria, match criteria, position or angle of rotation deviation
using SIMATIC MV500, actuators can be controlled directly to take workpieces that do
not meet the requirements out of the production process.
Industrial applications
Due to their ruggedness and high degree of protection, the optical readers are suitable for
industrial applications in which optical identification tasks are necessary. This applies equally
to production processes and logistics processes.

Description
1.2 Product characteristics
SIMATIC MV500
14 Operating Instructions, 06/2018, C79000-G8976-C494-01
Communication interfaces
The optical readers have all the conventional communications interfaces of industrial
sensors and can therefore be connected to a wide variety of systems. Through the
communications module interface, they can also be seamlessly combined with the
communications modules (ASM/CM), for example, via PROFIBUS.
Simple operation and commissioning
The optical readers are particularly easy to use and commission, despite the wide variety of
possible applications. For most applications, the parameters are set automatically. If,
however, readjustment becomes necessary, the parameters can be assigned using the
integrated Web server and an Internet browser without prior software installation.
1.2
Product characteristics
The optical reader is a compact camera system with an integrated processing unit for
industrial applications with the following product characteristics:
Reading code
●For codes with maximum quality, the read reliability for data matrix code is 99.999 %
(compare quality grading).
●Maximum reading speed of 80 reads per second (Rps) in SIMATIC MV500 S
●Software-guided read distance variable due to exchangeable lens (typically: 100 mm to
3000 mm)
●Object speed up to 10 m/s
●Code sizes (example: DMC) from 1 mm2to 200 mm2
●Auto-trigger and scan mode
●Up to 15 parameter sets and code reading settings can be saved and selected.
●Up to 150 codes can be read per image acquisition (SIMATIC MV500 U/X)
