General safety instructions
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.
Danger to life or malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameterization
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.
•
Respond to possible malfunctions by applying suitable measures (e.g. EMERGENCY STOP or EMERGENCY OFF).
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
– a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Sie
mens products and solutions only represent
one component of such a concept.
The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks. Systems,
machines and components should only be connected to the enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent 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

Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to mak
e them more secure. Siemens strongly
recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to always use the latest product versions. Use of product
versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s e
xposure to cyber

Danger to life as a result of 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.
