indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are
not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are
not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that damage to property may result if proper precautions are not taken.
If multiple levels of hazards can occur, the warning is always displayed with the
highest possible level. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert
symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

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 only form one element
of such a concept.
The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to his plants,
systems, machines and networks. Systems, machines and components should
only be connected to the enterprise network or the Internet where necessary and
with appropriate security measures (e.g., use of firewalls and network
segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken
into account. For more information about industrial security, please visit
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them
more secure. Siemens strongly recommends applying product updates as soon as
they are available, and always using the latest product version. Use of product
versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may
increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

2 Product description SIPIX SD100
The SIPIX SD100 is a highly flexible and powerful Industry Tablet PC. The robust
and compact 10.1” display is designed for use in harsh industrial environments and
has been specifically developed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
2.1 Scope of application
The Tablet PC carries out the collection, processing, and (radio) transmission of
data within and outside of potentially explosive atmospheres.
The scope of application of the Tablet PC lies primarily within remote access to
field equipment and field service.
It supports remote access to field instruments
via PCS 7 and SIMATIC PDM or PDM as a stand-alone
with permanent local SIMATIC PDM installation within a third-party process
control system/automation system that provides HART, PROFIBUS and
Foundation Fieldbus and MODBUS communications.
with permanent local SIMATIC PDM installation within a third-party process

4 Notes
4.1 General safety information
Do not dry wipe or clean equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Do not open equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Do not change or charge a battery in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
General legal regulations or directives on occupational safety, accident
prevention regulations and environmental protection laws must be observed,
such as the operational safety ordinance (BetrSichV) or the applicable national
regulations.
Wear suitable clothing and footwear to reduce the risk of dangerous
electrostatic charges.
Avoid heat influences outside the specified temperature range.
Protect the device from external influences.
Do not expose the device to corrosive/aggressive liquids, vapors or spray mist!
In the event that the device malfunctions or the housing is damaged,
immediately remove it from the potentially explosive atmosphere and move it to
a safe place.
Note
You can find additional “safety information” in the outline instructions by clicking
on the following link: http://automation.bartec.de/tabletpcE.htm
Conditions for safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres
The device must be protected against shocks with high impact energy, strong
UV-radiation and strong charge generating processes.
No connections may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The battery may not be removed, replaced or charged in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
The RFID module may be not be installed or dismantled in potentially explosive
atmospheres. The flash (LED) on the camera may not be operated in
potentially explosive atmospheres as a continuous light.
The battery must be locked inside potentially explosive atmospheres.
When you use the wrist strap, the device is only suitable for gas groups IIA.
DANGER
Non-certified accessories pose a risk to explosion protection.
In a potentially explosive environment, there is a threat to life!
The headset connector can only be used outside of the potentially explosive
atmosphere!

6 Establish Remote connection
The remote expert initializes the remote connection over cRSP.
The on-site technician then releases access for the remote connection.
Both procedures are described step-by-step in the sections that follow.
Establish remote connection on the side of the remote expert, Chapter 6.1
Confirm remote connection on the side of the Tablet PC, Chapter 6.1
Note
You will find additional information on the topic of “Remote Service” under:
https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home/products/services/industry.html
6.1 Establish remote connection on the side of the remote
expert
No additional software is required to establish the connection. The connection is
through the Common Remote Service Platform (cRSP)
The cRSP framework is used to communicate with machines outside the SIEMENS
network.
6.1.1 Log-in through the Common Remote Service Platform (cRSP)
1. Open the following link in the “Google Chrome” browser to log in to the cRSP
system: https://crsp1.siemens.com/industry/
2. Click the “Login PKI” button.

6 Establish Remote connection

12/2017
16
Siemens AG 2017 All rights reserved
If no account has been created in the cRSP system for the remote expert, the error
message "Error: Login with PKI failed." appears. In this case, first create an
account as a remote expert in the cRSP system. Contact Technical Support.
3. Click on “Customer Systems > Search via Site” in the menu bar.
4. Click on the button "Search". If there are multiple access points available,
inputting search criteria in the filter is recommended.
5. Select the tablet of the on-site technician (here "SIEMENS_PITablet_0007").
In the next step, three types of access to the Tablet PC are available:
–"Desktop Sharing (VNC)" (Chapter 6.1.2)
The expert can use the Tablet PC remote.
–Collaboration session via
a. "Collaboration HUB - via Chrome" (recommended, Chapter 6.1.3)
The expert can remotely draw notes on still images using the Tablet
camera of the on-site technician, for example.
