8.3.2 Protected communication
Description
If
the Startdrive project and the converter are unprotected, access is possible via both interfaces.
This enables unrestricted access from the project or a higher-level controller to the converter
data.
Non-authorized users can manipulate the converter data. To avoid the risk of data
manipulation, Siemens recommends that you protect access to the project and the converter.
Detailed information about security settings is provided in Industrial Cybersecurity
Conguration Manual (
