Fieldbus system/ Industrial IoT
Security Measures
With the introduction of Industrial IoT, various devices in a factory are connected to the network, and it is
necessary to respond to new threats such as cyber-attacks. To protect Industrial IoT, it is important to take
multilayered countermeasures (multilayer defense) that include IoT devices, networks, and cloud computing.
SMC recommends that the following countermeasures be considered. For details on the measures listed,
please refer to the security measures documents and other documents issued by each country and
organization.
(1) Do not connect devices to public networks such as
the Internet.
If it is necessary to access equipment or the cloud
through a public network, use a secure line such as a
VPN or leased line.
Do not connect information networks such as offices to
industrial IoT networks in factories.
(2) Install firewalls to prevent external threats from
entering devices and systems.
Install routers and firewalls at network boundaries and
set them to allow only the minimum necessary
communication.
If a permanent connection is not required, disconnect the
line by turning off communication devices when not in
use.
(3) Make unused communication ports physically
inaccessible or disable them in the configuration.
Check each port regularly to see if there are any
unnecessary devices connected to the network
equipment.
For various services (SSH, FTP, SFTP, etc.) of network
devices, configure them to run only the necessary
services.
Wireless LAN and other devices that use radio waves
should be configured to have an appropriate
propagation range and use appropriate devices that
have been certified by the radio wave laws of the
country in which they are installed.
Install equipment that outputs radio waves in a location
where there is no interference from outside or inside the
building.
(4) Set up a communication method with security
measures such as data encryption.
Implement security measures with cryptographic
functions in each environment, such as IoT networks
and connections via secure gateways.
(5) Grant access privileges to each account and limit
the number of users who can use the account.
Periodically review accounts and delete unused
accounts and privileges.
If the number of login errors exceeds a certain
threshold, set up an account lock mechanism, such
as prohibiting the use of the account for a certain
period of time.
(6) Protect passwords.
The initial passwords should be changed at the time of
installation.
Change passwords on a regular basis.
The password should be a combination of characters
that is difficult to guess and highly secure (e.g., 8 or
more characters, including letters and special
characters).
(7)Use the latest security software.
Install antivirus software on all PCs to detect and
eliminate virus infection.
Anti-virus software should always be kept up-to-date.
(8)Keep the latest versions of equipment and system
software.
Apply patches to keep OS and applications up-to-
date.
(9)Monitor and detect abnormalities in the network.
In the event of an abnormality, monitor
communications within the network and notify an
alert when an abnormality is detected in order to
promptly respond to the problem. Install devices
such as intrusion detection/protection systems
(IDS/IPS).
(10)Delete data when disposing of or relinquishing
equipment.
When disposing of IoT devices, data deletion or
physical destruction should be performed to prevent
unauthorized use of data left on the devices.

SMC Wireless System
Features and Summary
SMC Wireless Products, EX600-W and EXW1 series products, are modular devices consisting of a gateway
(hereafter referred to as a Base) and wireless devices (hereafter referred to as Remotes).
From the host (PLC) control device, one base including paired remote groups appears as one system, and
the maximum number of input/output points per system is 11464/11464 points (1308 byte/1308 byte).
Bases and Remotes are designed to be identifiable by registering their uniquely assigned PIDs (Product IDs)
with each other and operate therefore function without conflicts even when several Bases and Remotes
operate in the same area.
The packet of the wireless transmits and receive data is encrypted. It is therefore difficult to manipulate the
data.
The SMC wireless system has the following features:
•High-speed start up. The minimum connectiontime to the system after supplying power to the
remoteis 0.25 seconds.*1
•Parameter setting by Near Field Communication (NFC) using a PC(no HW setting).
• The number of input/output points of the system can be from a minimum of 16/16 points to a maximum of
10464/10464 points *23
•Up to 63 remotecan be registered to one base. *4
*1: The baseshould be in the start upstate. The connection time varies depending on the timing of the powersupplyto theremote, the
number of connected EX600 I/O units and other external influences.
*2: The maximum number of I/O point is 10464 for input and output.When exceeding 10464 points, the unit I/O is not recognized.
There might be a communication delay depending on the communication load status.
*3: The total number of I/O points of the baseand the registered I/O points of the remote.
*4:The maximum number of units that can be connected is 61. If 61 units is exceeded, the unit I/O will not be recognized.
