1.2 Security information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.

In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.

Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.

For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please visit (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure to cyber threats.

To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS Feed under (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

This product includes third-party software. Siemens AG only provides a warranty for updates/patches of the third-party software, if these have been distributed as part of a Siemens software update service contract or officially released by Siemens AG. Otherwise, updates/patches are undertaken at your own risk. You can find more information about our Software Update Service offer on the Internet at Software Update Service (http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/automation-software/en/software-update-

service).

2.2 Design of the device

The Field PG features a clickpad with integrated mouse buttons. It can be used in many programs (with mouse operation) as an input device for controlling the cursor and selecting menus.

In contrast to a touch pad with a differentiated left and right mouse button, the mouse buttons on this clickpad are integrated into the surface. In this case, the function of the left or right mouse button has been transferred to the two integrated mouse buttons Pressing lightly on the clickpad in the selected lower part of the area initiates a left or right mouse click. The clickpad haptically provides a noticeable pressure point.

When you only use the clickpad to move the cursor, the whole area (including the mouse buttons) is available.

Pressing the left mouse button selects an object. The response to the right mouse button depends on the user program.

A high degree of ambient interference in the vicinity of the Field PG M6 may, in rare cases, cause malfunction of the integrated clickpad.

The malfunction manifests itself in the triggering of unintentional key clicks or delays in the movement of the cursor. In such cases we recommend eliminating the cause of the interference or establishing a greater distance to the source of the interference.

If working in an interference-prone environment cannot be avoided, deactivate the tap function (mouse button emulation) using the clickpad driver. Afterwards use the clickpad keys below the clickpad for operation.

● Function keys

● Control keys

All the keys of the keyboard are equipped with a repeat function, i.e. the character is repeated for as long as the key is pressed.

The keyboard comes with international and German labeling.

2.2 Design of the device

The largest block of keys is the alphanumeric keyboard with all the keys for letters, numerals and special characters. The arrangement of the characters essentially corresponds to that of a normal keyboard.

The caps lock key activates uppercase mode. All the characters are then output as capital letters. With a multiple labeled key, the upper left character is displayed. You can switch off the caps lock by pressing the shift key.

This toggles the emulated numerical keypad between alphanumeric keys and number keys. The LED display lights up.

Use this key to decide whether the cursor keys should move the cursor or the screen section (this functionality is not supported by every program).

The start key calls up the Windows Start menu.

This function is activated using the Num Lock key. The characters and numbers labeled on the front of the number pad keys can be used by simultaneously pressing Fn and one of these keys.

The menu key calls up the menu for the selected object.
