Indirect Safety

• If automation solutions are implemented that can lead to personal injury or significant property damage in the event of failure, you must take appropriate measures to ensure that the system remains in a safe operating state even in the event of failure.
• Give all products in a network different IP addresses.
• Never connect a PC on which a DHCP server is installed to a global network. Larger networks usually already have a DHCP server, which can cause collisions that lead to network breakdown.
• Use only the latest security software.
• Uninstall or disable all software components or programs on your PC that are not required for the intended use.
• If there are access problems, check whether the e!RUNTIME runtime system is activated on the connected devices. Use a software tool (depending on the hardware) to perform the check or use the Web-Based Management System.
