System topology and components: SICAM PAS compact

SICAM PAS compact

Economically priced version with different predefined bundles of functionality -

! Tailored for a wide range of applications via these function bundles

Same functionality and modularity as “standard” SICAM PAS

! All SICAM PAS options can be purchased and enabled at any time via licenses

System architecture is limited to 2000 data points -

! An upgrade to a higher amount of data points is not possible

Cyber security

Cyber Security

Secure Communication – option: allows additional encryption, authentication and data protection

TLS-encryption - encryption protocol for data transmission on the Internet

Password protected - ensures that only authorized persons have access to the system

User administration - restrictive control: different users require different rights

Role Based Access Control - RBAC according to IEC 62351-8 ensures that each user can only exercise
the rights corresponding to the assigned role
Configurable system functions - selective clearance of single or multiple system functions per
communication interface
Security Logbook - all activities (user logons, logoffs) are stored

Firewall - rules for the recommended network topology

BDEW White Paper conform - fulfills the recommendations for safe control and communication systems
