Guidelines for secure operation

For firmware versions prior to V20.00, authorized personnel can activate various service accesses on the device using the engineering protocol of SEW‑EURODRIVE. Authentication is implemented by using static access data. This data is not used to defend against attacks on IT security, but rather to protect against unintentional modification. This is the reason why it cannot be changed.

To prevent misuse of the service access, network access must be restricted according to state-of-the-art technology. For more information, refer to section IT security of the environment.

As of firmware version V20.00, authentication can also be performed via secure user management and access control.
