Indirect Safety

• If automation solutions are implemented that can cause personal injury or major 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. In larger networks, there is usually already a DHCP server that can cause collisions and subsequent network failure.
• 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.
