2.7 Device-specific IT security
The device offers specific functions to support protective measures by the operator. These
functions can be configured by the user and guarantee greater in-operation safety if used
correctly. An overview of the most important functions is provided in the following section:
• Write protection via hardware write protection switch
• Access code to change user role (applies to operation via display, Bluetooth or FieldCare,
DeviceCare, asset management tools (e.g., AMS, PDM and Web server)
Function/interface Factory setting Recommendation
Access code
(also applies to Web server login or FieldCare connection)
Not enabled (0000) Assign a customized access code during commissioning
Web server Enabled On an individual basis following risk assessment
Service interface (CDI) Enabled On an individual basis following risk assessment
Write protection via hardware write protection switch Not enabled On an individual basis following risk assessment
2.7.1 Protecting access via a password
Different passwords are available to protect write access to the parameters of the device.
Protect write access to the parameters of the device via the local display, Web browser or
operating tool (e.g. FieldCare, DeviceCare). Access authorization is clearly regulated
through the use of a user-specific access code.
User-specific access code
Write access to the parameters of the device via the local display, Web browser or
operating tool (e.g. FieldCare, DeviceCare) can be protected using the editable, user-
specific access code.
When delivered, the device does not have an access code and this code corresponds to
0000 (open).
General notes on the use of passwords
• During commissioning, change the access code used when the device was delivered
• When defining and managing the access code, comply with the general rules for the
generation of a secure password
• The user is responsible for managing the access code and for using the code with due
care

2.7.2 Access via Web server
Thanks to the integrated Web server, the device can be operated and configured using a
Web browser and via PROFINET with Ethernet-APL. In addition to the measured values,
status information on the device is displayed and can be used to monitor device health.
Furthermore the device data can be managed and the network parameters can be
configured.
Access to the network is required for the PROFINET with Ethernet-APL connection.
