I/A Series Niagara 4 Hardening Guide - Tips to Secure an I/A Series Niagara 4 System

Issue Procedures and processes to secure I/A Series Niagara 4 Systems Product Line TAC IA Series Environment  I/A Series Niagara 4 Systems Cause Users accessing system without permission Potential damage done by malicious entry to the system Resolution The attached document describes how to implement security best practices in an I/A Series Niagara 4 system.  While it is impossible to make any system completely impenetrable, there are many ways to build up a system that is more resistant to attacks. In particular, this document describes how you can help make an I/A Series Niagara 4 system more secure by carefully configuring and using: Passwords System Passphrase Platform Account Management Station Account Management Role and Permission Management Authentication TLS and Certificate Management Module Installation Additional Settings External Factors Please note that while all of these steps should be taken to protect your I/A Series Niagara 4 system, they do not constitute a magic formula. Many factors affecting security and vulnerabilities in one area can affect security in another; it doesn’t mean much to configure a system expertly if your JACE is left physically unsecured where anyone can access it. Note: Schneider Electric strongly recommends upgrading to the latest I/A Series N4 version maintenance build that implements numerous security updates.  Before updating any system, make sure to review the build-included documentation to understand the behavioral impacts of the security enhancements and JACE hardware platforms supported.

Configure Time Zone and UTC Offset settings so that time is synchronized across your system

Issue How to properly configure Time Zone and UTC Offset settings in Cyberstations and controllers. Product Line Andover Continuum Environment Continuum Cyberstation Continuum Controllers Cause There are a number of locations for time configuration settings, creating uncertainty as to what needs to be set, and where, to maintain the correct time in all devices. Resolution How to sync controller time with WS time with Server time. Set the correct UTC offset (time zone) in all of the below locations: Confirm Cyberstation(s) PC time zone (UTC offset) and regional settings are correct. [This has no effect on time synchronization but does have an effect on what time alarms and events are written to the database as well as when alarms will be delivered to Cyberstations] Confirm the SQL Server PC time zone (GMT settings) and regional settings are correct. [same as 1 above] In Continuum, the Workstations Device object's Time tab has the correct time zone setting (be aware this is in minutes, ex. GMT+10 = +600 minutes.) In Continuum, the Network folder has a setting for the time zone, this needs to be configured to the time zone the controllers are located. If GMT+10 then this gets set to +600. Note1: To synchronize controller time to Workstations time a program needs to be created in one WS that sets the Date object of the Netcontroller (IP level controller) with the lowest ACCnet ID. This controller will then push any time changes out to all other IP level controllers and down to its subnet controllers (i2’s or b3’s). See Time sync controllers to workstations for details on this. Note2: At 38 minutes past the hour the Netcontroller will push its time down to its subnet (aka Field Bus) controllers. Note3: When time is set in the Netcontroller with a reload of the controller, the UTC settings of the WS doing the reload, and the Network folder the controller is in, are accounted for and the controllers time is set with these UTC settings taken into account. When time is set with a PE program using the WS Date object, this does not take into account the UTC settings of the various locations and just sets the controller Date object to the exact value of the WS Date object. If the controller is in a different time zone than the WS setting its time, then it will now have the wrong time in it. To compensate for this, it is suggested that time offsets must be added to the Time Sync program to accommodate those networks in a different time zone than the WS. Other UTC setting locations and what these settings effect IP level BACnet Device UTC Offset The UTC offset value on the Time tab of the BACnet Device object is only used when the BACnet time synchronization method is being used to set time. This setting then follows the BACnet specification where it needs to be the negative value of the GMT setting. For example, if the BACnet device is in the GMT+10 time zone, then set this offset to -(10*60) = -600. Note4: If using the PE program method, the UTC offset value on the Time tab of the BACnet Device object does not change how time is set in the controllers. However, if the UTC offset value on the Time tab of the BACnet Device object is changed, it will change the current time of the controller to coincide with the new time zone until the time is set again in the controller, or the UTC offset value is removed. UTC offset in controller configuration Time Settings webpage This doesn’t change how the time of the controller is set. It is used to set the time of sent email messages when using the SMTP option on this controller.

How to set and relinquish a BACnet point from AS Script programming

Issue How to turn on and release a specific command priority on a BACnet point? Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment ES AS Bacnet interface Script programming Cause Wants an example script program to turn on/ off specific BACnet command priorities in a BACnet device. Resolution To control a specific Digital or Analog Output in a BACnet device, from a script program you would use a Numeric Output in the program that has its value set as required by the program. This Output from the program is then bound to the specific command priority attribute of the point to be controlled. To release control from that Command Priority the "Relinquish" keyword is used in the program to Null that specific command priority and allow lower commands to take control of the output.   Here is an example AS test program that turns on a Digital Output for 4 seconds and then releases it for 4 seconds. The Numeric Output DOControl should be bound to the required Output Command Priority 2, it is written as a fallthru program. Notice; the Relinquish command is releasing the output from Command Priority 2 as used in this example.   Numeric Output DOControl DOOnLine: DOControl = Active Wait4: If TS > 4 Then goto DOOffline Else goto Wait4 DOOffline: Relinquish(DOControl,2) Wait4More: If TS > 4 Then goto DOOnline Else goto Wait4More   This type of script program can be located in the Application of the BACnet interface and control outputs on 3rd party BACnet products or b3 controllers. Note: For control of b3 outputs it is often better to put an appropriate control program (Not the above code) within the b3 controller itself, making it more robust in case of comms failure and also reducing communications traffic.

BACnet Object binding options using priorities

Issue How to bind BACnet Objects with Priority Levels Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment EcoStruxure Building Operation BACnet MPX, RPC, MPC Cause Servers (ES, AS) and other native devices (MPX, RPC) have slightly differing binding options. EcoStruxure Building Operation BACnet binding offers many options and the information below gives an example of how it can be achieved, it is not the only method. Resolution When binding between BACnet objects in EcoStruxure Building Operation (either external or within the device) it is usually better to utilize the BACnet Priority based control, often this facility is not fully exploited. Object Force and Overrides will use set priorities as in the BACnet Interface setting for the site (see System/Interface Manager/BACnet), the defaults are below. The example below shows a simple bind from a BACnet Schedule-value to a BACnet Binary-value Priority 16 (or other priority as required, as binding at Priority 16 can interfere with simple manual overrides). A BACnet datetime_value has no Priority array, so if you bind, for example, from a "BACnet Schedule Next transition" to "BACnet datetime_value Value" the bind to a Priority cannot be achieved, as below. In addition, the MPX & RPC have some constraints that Servers do not have. If you bind "Transfer Value to" an Object Value Property (rather than a Priority) then further bindings "Transfer Value to" binding to a Priority is inhibited. The screenshot below shows the error that is seen. This promotes using Priorities to control BACnet Objects.

SigmaX version 7.0.9 is now available and can be used on any Sigma version that supported SigmaX version 7.0.6. 2. This information can be downloaded as a PDF file: Sigma Build Numbers 2023 3. When SigmaX 6.0.2 is installed, the build information provided by Sigma (Help > About) can be wrong (later than the actual version). This arises because SigmaX installs a file with Build 3.42.47 in the c:\sigma\bin folder. This is only a problem prior to Sigma Release 4.05 SEB.
