General safety instructions
WARNING
Danger to life if the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed
If the safety instructions and residual risks in the associated hardware documentation are
not observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death can occur.
•Observe the safety instructions given in the hardware documentation.
•Consider the residual risks for the risk evaluation.
WARNING
Malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameter settings
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in
turn can lead to injuries or death.
•Protect the parameterization (parameter assignments) against unauthorized access.
•Handle possible malfunctions by taking suitable measures, e.g. emergency stop or
emergency off.
1.2
Warranty and liability for application examples
Application examples are not binding and do not claim to be complete regarding
configuration, equipment or any eventuality which may arise. Application examples do not

Note
Industrial security
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 b
e
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 securi
ty measures that may be implemented, please
visit:
Industrial security (
http://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 cu
stomer’s exposure
to cyber threats.

WARNING
Unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation
Software manipulations (e.g. viruses, trojans, malware or worms) can cause unsafe
operating states in your system that may lead to death, serious injury, and property
damage.
•Keep the software up to date.
•Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art
industrial security concept for the installation or machine.
•Make sure that you include all installed products into the holistic industrial security
concept.
•Protect files stored on exchangeable storage media from malicious software by with
suitable protection measures, e.g. virus scanners.
•Protect the drive against unauthorized changes by activating the "know-how protection"
drive function.

2.1
Introduction
The SINAMICS G120 Smart Access is a Wi-Fi-based Web server module and an
engineering tool. It has been designed for quick commissioning, parameterization, and
maintenance of the SINAMICS G120 inverters.
The SINAMICS G120 Smart Access connects to the SINAMICS G120 inverter through an
RS232 interface and allows Web-based access to the inverter from a connected device (a
conventional PC with a wireless network adapter installed, a tablet, or a smart phone).
Note
SINAMICS G120 Smart Access is only for commissioning and thus cannot be used with the
inverter permanently.
Supported inverters
The SINAMICS G120 Smart Access automatically recognizes the following devices from the
SINAMICS range:
●SINAMICS G120C
●SINAMICS G120 CU230P-2
●SINAMICS G120 CU240E-2 (CU240E-2 F, CU240E-2 DP-F, and CU240E-2 PN-F
excluded)
