Security is more important than ever, as customers demand solutions that are efficient, reliable and risk-free.
Integrated solutions, like OEM security from Eurotherm, are optimised to block any attempts at cloning or otherwise interfere with system configurations; it also increases the value-added of products and services.
OEM security is activated using a simple procedure using Eurotherm iTools software package.
Once the feature has been installed users simply need to enter an OEM Security Password to access iTools configuration and monitoring software.
The common communications registers are still available for Scada and PLC systems to read and write data while the controllers are in run-time mode.
Customers can purchase the OEM security by requesting the option at time of order.
