New APROL function guarantees secure import and export of engineering data.
April 2021 – B&R is constantly adding new security functions to its process control system APROL. This allows users to protect their projects from cyber threats in the best possible way. A new function enables automatic encryption of engineering data, guaranteeing the highest level of security during import and export.
In larger projects, tasks are often split up between team members scattered around the world. To guarantee the securest possible exchange of engineering data, all configuration data must be protected by encryption.
The new APROL function "Data security for import and export" allows data to be encrypted with minimal effort. After commissioning, the entire project is handed over to the responsible archivist in a tamper-resistant manner. Subsequent manipulation without a password is impossible. Users benefit from a high level of data security and save a lot of time since manual encryption and decryption is no longer necessary.
B&R, an innovative automation company, combines state-of-the-art technology with advanced engineering to provide customers in virtually every industry with complete solutions for machine and factory automation, motion control, HMI and integrated safety technology. With Industrial IoT communication standards like OPC UA, POWERLINK and openSAFETY as well as the powerful Automation Studio software development environment, B&R is constantly redefining the future of automation engineering.
