APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Isolation of backup servers
Recommended models: etherCUT-BT/*
Backup servers are separated by etherCUT modules to limit the time spent on the facility's network. Communication with the facility's network is established only for the duration of the necessary operations with server backups and operator stations.
ICS engineer station
Recommended models: etherCUT-BT/*
The engineering station of the automated process control system is one of the most potentially vulnerable nodes of the facility's automated process control system network. This is due to the fact that various full-featured software packages are installed on this computer for developing and modifying algorithms and video frames of automated control systems. The engineer's station is separated by the etherCUT module to limit the time spent in the facility's network. The connection to the facility's network is established only for the duration of the necessary operations.
Connecting external contractors to the LAN of the facility
Recommended models: etherCUT-BT/*, etherCUT-R/24
It is a good practice for external contractors at the facility to connect their equipment to strictly dedicated LAN ports. The use of etherCUT in this case allows you to control the physical availability of the network port for the contractor.
CYBER security of the company's conference rooms
Recommended models: etherCUT-BT/*, etherCUT-R/24 + etherCUT CP-R/24
Modern conference rooms are equipped with various equipment with network ports. At the same time, to ensure confidentiality during internal meetings, it is advisable to disconnect the internal network of the conference room from the communication channel with the organization's network and the Internet using etherCUT.
Putting industrial control system equipment into repair or adjustment mode
Recommended models: etherCUT-BT/*
When the automated process control system, protection or ICS equipment is put into repair or technological adjustment modes, it may be necessary to physically disconnect the network connections of the output nodes with the main network using etherCUT.
RS-*** communication channel management
Recommended models: etherCUT-R/24 + etherCUT CP-R/24
In modern automation systems, there are situations that require disconnecting or switching digital communication channels RS-485/422/232/Profibus/CAN.
