Connecting the SINUMERIK Integrate gateway

Precondition

You need administrator rights.

Various settings are configured in SINUMERIK Integrate AMC.

As "Subtenant" user, the functionality of the "SINUMERIK Integrate Gateway" is not available!

NOTICE

Setting up encrypted data transmission

To ensure that no attacker can gain access to your secret key, an encrypted connection must be set up between SINUMERIK Integrate and MindSphere.

More information on setting up secure communication can be found in the SINUMERIK Integrate Installation Manual, in the chapter "Setting up an encrypted connection".

NOTICE

Data manipulation possible

There is a risk that an attacker, within the network between SINUMERIK Integrate and MindSphere, gains access to the file system of the server or service clients. The hacker can then read or manipulate various system components (e.g. database content). As a consequence, the attacker can manipulate tool data, NC programs, machine archives or the system structure itself, for example. This type of attack cannot be prevented by MindSphere.

  • As the person responsible for the machine network, it is therefore imperative that you take the appropriate industrial security measures for the production/machine network.

Siemens AG does not accept any liability in this regard.
