In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please

2.2 Configuration and operating principle

Principle of operation
One of the two CPUs in the redundant system takes on the role of CPU for process control
(primary CPU). The other CPU takes on the role of the following CPU (backup CPU). The
role of the CPUs can change during operation. All relevant data is synchronized from the
primary CPU to the backup CPU via the fiber-optic cables of the redundancy connections.
Synchronization between the primary CPU and backup CPU ensures fast switching between
CPUs in the event of a primary CPU failure. If the primary CPU fails, the backup CPU retains
control of the process as the new primary CPU at the point of interruption.
The redundancy connections consist of two fiber-optic cables, which directly connect the
CPUs via plug-in synchronization modules.

links (ring topology) ensure that an alternative commu-
nication path is made available if a transmission link
fails.
Within the PROFINET ring, the H-CPUs assume the
role of the MRP Manager following appropriate project
configuration and all other devices in the ring assume
the role of the MRP clients.
PROFIenergy PROFIenergy is a PROFINET-based data interface for
switching off consumers centrally and with full coordi-
nation during pause times regardless of the manufac-
turer or device type. Through this, the process should
only be provided with the energy that is absolutely
required. Most of the energy is saved by the process.
The PROFINET device itself only contributes a few
watts to the savings potential.

Integrity protection The CPUs dispose of integrity protection by default.

Integrity protection identifies possible manipulations of
engineering data on the SIMATIC memory card or
during data transfer between STEP 7 and the CPUs.
Integrity protection also checks the communication
from a SIMATIC HMI system to the CPUs for possible
manipulations of engineering data.
If integrity protection identifies the manipulation of en-
gineering data, the user receives a corresponding mes-
sage.
Password provider As an alternative to manual password entry, you can
link a password provider to STEP 7. A password pro-
vider offers the following advantages:
• Convenient handling of passwords. STEP 7 auto-
matically imports the password for the blocks. This
saves you time.
• Optimum block protection because the users do not
know the password itself.

3.1 Terminal assignment

PROFINET interface X1 with 2-port switch (X1 P1 R and X1 P2 R)

The assignment corresponds to the Ethernet standard for an RJ45 plug.
● When autonegotiation is deactivated, the RJ45 socket is allocated as a switch (MDI-X).
● When autonegotiation is activated, autocrossing is in effect and the RJ45 socket is
allocated either as data terminal equipment (MDI) or a switch (MDI-X).

Figure 3-1 Interface assignments

PROFINET interface X2 with 1 port (X2 P1)

The assignment corresponds to the Ethernet standard for a RJ45 connector.
Autocrossing is always active on X2. This means the RJ45 socket is allocated either as data
terminal equipment (MDI) or a switch (MDI-X).

H-Sync X3 interface with 1 port (X3 P1) and X4 with 1 port (X4 P1)
Make the redundancy connections between the two CPUs via the synchronization modules
at the X3 P1 and X4 P1 interfaces (LC sockets). You interconnect the CPUs in pairs via the
fiber-optic cables.

① X3 P1 without synchronization module

② X4 P1 with synchronization module and removed dummy plugs
