SCALANCE S at a glance

Thanks to a wide range of security mechanisms that can be combined, SCALANCE S industrial security appliances protect your automation network against a variety of threats, regardless of your needs. This includes cell protection, demilitarised zones (DMZs) Authenticated access via VPNs, and dynamic firewall rules. Together with all encompassing security measures, this will create a strong defence against inadvertent system accesses or deliberate attacks.

Industrial network security

Siemens’ SCALANCE S industrial security appliances enable you to easily link your industrial network to the office and IT security frameworks.

The TÜV has validated that the SCALACE S security appliances series is designed in compliance with the industrial security standard IEC 62443-4-1. These devices enable setups via the TIA portal, web-based management (WBM), and CLI; they guarantee the installation of a customizable security zone (using, for example, network separation or secure remote maintenance); and they can be integrated via SINEC NMS network management software. In addition, they function well in temperatures between -40 and +70°C. Furthermore, with the use of virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) and redundancy, SCALANCE SC-600 devices offer network security for plants.

Technical details & Product information

Industrial firewall appliance

Using a bridge or routed firewall, industrial firewall appliances provide secure access between different network segments with firewall performance of up to 750 Mbit/s. When necessary, temporary network access can be provided thanks to dynamic firewall rules. Ethernet ports with speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s and fiber optic cables with a maximum distance of 200 km can be used to establish the connection. In addition, network isolation in a PROFIsafe environment can be accomplished with the SCALANCE SC622-2C or SCALANCE SC626-2C industrial firewall appliance.

Industrial VPN appliance

The industrial VPN Appliances allow up to 200 VPN connections with a data throughput of up to 120 Mbit/s in addition to the flexible firewall methods of the industrial firewall appliances. Large distances (up to 200 km) can be covered by fiber optic communication as well as 10/100/1000 Mbit/s ethernet connectors. SCALANCE S615 EEC, when combined with an extra printed circuit board coating, can be used in extreme environments, such as those found in the oil and gas sector

SCALANCE S use-cases

SCALANCE S industrial security appliances can be used to address a variety of possible issues. There are merely two situations that can occur: granting access authorisations and granting network access from both secured and unsecured networks.
