Phoenix Contact offers products and industry solutions with cyber security functions for the future-proof operation of machines, systems, and infrastructures. To protect these it is necessary to implement and continuously maintain a holistic cybersecurity concept. Security provided by the EMpro energy measurement device constitutes therefore only part of an overall concept.

Features:

  • A PIN entry protects the EMpro against improper use. Write access using the control buttons on the device and the Modbus interface is blocked if the incorrect PIN is entered.
  • The other interfaces that allow write access (REST API & BACnet) can be set to “read-only” mode.
  • All interfaces can be deactivated individually. The users are responsible for securing their networks against unauthorized access.
  • A deactivation of control buttons for configuration is possible via web server.
  • The web server of the EMpro is password protected. Write access using the web server is blocked if the incorrect password is entered.
  • A deactivation of the web server or setting the webserver to “read only mode” is possible via display.
  • Sealable connection fields prevent unauthorized opening of the screw terminal blocks.
  • Firmware uptdates optimize the performance and expand the functionality of EMpro and aim at future-proof operation.

To prevent unauthorized write access to the device, change the default PIN and password during initial commissioning of the device.
