PAC Terminal Secure Strategy Distribution Features Description PAC Terminal SSD (Secure Strategy Distribution™) allows you to safely distribute a PAC Control strategy and to protect it once it is downloaded to a controller. PAC Terminal SSD also can ensure that new controller firmware is from Opto 22 and has not been modified by anyone. SSD provides a level of strategy security that is most valuable to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who use Opto 22 equipment in their own systems, although it is not limited to that application. Using this security system, you can: • Protect strategies stored and running in a controller • Safely distribute updated strategies and keep them protected once downloaded • Ensure that new firmware is from Opto 22 and has not been modified by anyone PAC Terminal SSD While this is a robust and effective system, here are some things this system will not protect: • Original strategies on a PC. SSD does not provide password protection in PAC Control. It only protects the compiled strategy. • Normal system communications, such as controller to controller, controller to I/O, human-machine interface (HMI) to controller, etc. • I/O settings, such as I/O configurations, proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) loop settings, Event/Reaction settings, etc. • Inspection of controllers using PAC Terminal When using Secure Strategy Distribution one user task is used. This means that one less chart can run at a time than normal. However, performance is otherwise unaffected. The PAC Terminal SSD security functions are available in both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface. The command line interface makes it easy for you to create batch or script files to handle the various aspects of strategy security.
