Segmented networks with SCALANCE S

With the security concept SCALANCE S, the network can be segmented for security purposes. This offers crucial advantages.

The security modules support learning mode. They automatically detect every station (also other security modules) in the network. The stations thus do not have to be configured and when a plant is expanded, existing security modules do not have to be reconfigured.

Advantages of the industrial security concept:

■ Protection against spying and data manipulation - diagnostics and logging of attempted attacks

■ Protection against overloading of the communication system

■ Protection against mutual influence

■ Protection against addressing errors

■ User-friendly and simple configuration and administration without specialist knowledge of IT security

■ No changes or modification of the existing network structure are necessary

■ No changes or modification of the existing applications of the network stations are necessary

■ Scalable for different security requirements

■ Rugged, industry-compatible design
