 WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
  • Perform a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), or equivalent risk analysis, of your application, and apply preventive and detective controls before implementation.
  • Provide a fallback state for undesired control events or sequences.
  • Provide separate or redundant control paths wherever required.
  • Supply appropriate parameters, particularly for limits.
  • Review the implications of transmission delays and take actions to mitigate them.
  • Review the implications of communication link interruptions and take actions to mitigate them.
  • Provide independent paths for control functions (for example, emergency stop, over-limit conditions, and error conditions) according to your risk assessment, and applicable codes and regulations.
  • Apply local accident prevention and safety regulations and guidelines.1
  • Test each implementation of a system for proper operation before placing it into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

1 For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control and to NEMA ICS 7.1 (latest edition), Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for Selection, Installation and Operation of Adjustable-Speed Drive Systems or their equivalent governing your particular location.

 WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Only use software approved by Schneider Electric for use with this equipment.
  • Update your application program every time you change the physical hardware configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

For reasons of Internet security, for those devices that have a native Ethernet connection, TCP/IP forwarding is disabled by default. Therefore, you must manually enable TCP/IP forwarding. However, doing so may expose your network to possible cyberattacks if you do not take additional measures to protect your enterprise. In addition, you may be subject to laws and regulations concerning cybersecurity.

 WARNING
UNAUTHENTICATED ACCESS AND SUBSEQUENT NETWORK INTRUSION
  • Observe and respect any and all pertinent national, regional and local cybersecurity and/or personal data laws and regulations when enabling TCP/IP forwarding on an industrial network.
  • Isolate your industrial network from other networks inside your company.
  • Protect any network against unintended access by using firewalls, VPN, or other, proven security measures.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Consult the Schneider Electric Cybersecurity Best Practices for additional information.
