Protect Ethernet interfaces

Pilz is expanding its portfolio of operating and signaling devices with the control element PIT oe ETH. It is equipped with an Ethernet port that can be activated and protects freely accessible Ethernet interfaces in industry against unauthorized access.

The compact control element therefore ensures greater security. As an industrial Ethernet interface, it can act like a firewall to protect network connections from unauthorized access from outside and direct access to human-machine interfaces and control data from inside. PIToe ETH protects the network and thus know-how and investment in systems and machines.

With the Ethernet interface that can be activated and deactivated, users can comprehensively protect their network: Who can access sensitive machine data, when and how, can be controlled and tracked individually and securely. In combination with the PITreader readout unit from Pilz, the interface is only activated with the appropriate authorization. Users have full data flow control over their networks.

Safety requirements fulfilled

The control element meets the safety requirements for both machine manufacturers and operators: the Machinery Ordinance will make machine manufacturers responsible for security measures from January 2027 at the latest. For machine operators in Germany, for example, the Technical Rule for Operational Safety TRBS 1115 already applies today as a supplement to the Industrial Safety Regulation, which requires, among other things, that unnecessary hardware interfaces be deactivated or blocked and unauthorized communication connections be switched off. The elements are designed for installation openings with a diameter of just 22.5 mm with anti-twist protection and fit into the design of machines and systems.
