Software and hardware

This section describes the software and the hardware products that you can use in an Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) with
CIP Security
implemented.
CIP Security
Software Applications
The following software supports
CIP Security
.
Software
Description
Required
FactoryTalk Policy Manager
FactoryTalk Policy Manager
is a secure software application that you use to configure, deploy, and view the system communication security policies.
The security policies are divided into different components, that is, devices, zones, and conduits. You use these components to design security models that control the permissions and usage of devices within the system.
Yes
FactoryTalk
System Services
FactoryTalk
System Services is a secure EtherNet/IP client that runs in the background to deploy the security policies that are configured in
FactoryTalk Policy Manager
. You do not take action in the client.
FactoryTalk
System Services provides the following services to enforce security policies that are based on the ODVA
CIP Security
standard:
  • Identity/Authentication Service - Authenticates users and validates user resource requests. Validate user credentials against the
    FactoryTalk Directory
    and
    FactoryTalk Security
    policy settings to obtain privileges associated with the user.
  • Certificate Service - Issues and manages certificates for devices in the
    FactoryTalk Policy Manager
    model.
  • Deployment Service - Translates the security policy to CIP configurations that are delivered to endpoints.
  • Policy Service - Build and manages CIP network trust models and defines security policy for the CIP endpoints.
  • Diagnostic Service - Makes
    FactoryTalk
    audit and diagnostic logs available as a web service.
Yes
FactoryTalk Linx
FactoryTalk Linx
is a secure EtherNet/IP client that initiates connections over a secure EtherNet/IP network with
CIP Security
-enabled devices.
This server and communication service that lets devices communicate with the
FactoryTalk
software portfolio and
Studio 5000 Logix Designer
application.
IMPORTANT:
You can’t use
RSLinx Classic
software to implement
CIP Security
in an IACS.
Yes
Studio 5000 Logix Designer
Logix Designer
application is a comprehensive programming software that you use with
Logix 5000
controllers.
IMPORTANT:
Logix Designer
application isn’t required to implement
CIP Security
.
However,
Logix Designer
application functions as
CIP Security
-capable software because it supports the CIP protocol and uses
FactoryTalk Linx
software to communicate with other devices via the CIP protocol.
The
Logix 5000
controller this is used in the system determines what
Logix Designer
application version to use. For example, to use a
ControlLogix
5580 controller’s Ethernet port to connect to the system, you must use software version 32.00.00 or later.
Not required but commonly used with
CIP Security
In addition, any software that uses
FactoryTalk Linx
to access data can leverage the secure connectivity provided by
CIP Security
.
CIP Security
-capable Hardware Devices
The following hardware devices are
CIP Security
-capable.
IMPORTANT:
  • The minimum firmware revisions for
    Logix 5000
    controllers indicate the earliest version supporting connection to an IACS with
    CIP Security
    via a secure connection to the controller’s Ethernet port.
  • In some configurations, earlier firmware revisions can allow connection to an IACS with
    CIP Security
    . For more information on the
    CIP Security
    -capable hardware devices, see
    CIP Security
    with Rockwell Automation Products
