Security requirements for the environment

The X001 interface is intended for connection to a shared network medium. Sensitive communication is also carried out via the interface, for example for discovery or configuration.

Access to the network and thus the communication option with the EK1000 may only be enabled for authorized and trustworthy participants.

Usual techniques from information technology (IT) for this are, for example, physical measures such as the use of a structurally protected network infrastructure or the use of a dedicated Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN).

If communication is routed through untrusted networks, further measures are required that can be derived from an overall security concept for the system, the machine and the networks.
