Unified Write Filter (UWF)

Note

UWF is disabled in the delivery state.

Note that memory is reduced when UWF is enabled.

NOTICE

Risk of data loss with enabled UWF

5.2 Unified Write Filter (UWF)

The installed backup battery has a service life of 5 years. The status can be checked with two-tier battery monitoring. The information can be read via an I/O register and evaluated by the DiagBase or DiagMonitor software.

When the first warning threshold is reached, the remaining service life of the battery for buffering time and CMOS data is at least 1 month.

The state of HDD, SSD and CFast cards is monitored via SMART bit and reported by DiagBase or DiagMonitor.

The Unified Write Filter is a configurable write filter that makes it possible to assign writeprotection to data storage media, such as hard disks, CFast cards, SSDs, internal USB drives, or external SATA drives.

External removable data storage media such as USB sticks and other flash drives, which are recognized by the operating system as a removable data storage medium, are not supported.

UWF combines the advantages of older write filters such as EWF and FBWF. It prevents all write access to protected media and transfers the data to buffer memory (overlay). This increases the reliability and stability of the system as well as the service life of write-sensitive media such as SSDs and CFast cards.

When UWF is enabled, all changes made to storage media with a UWF write protection after booting can be lost when the device is shut down. Proceed as follows to prevent this situation:

• Make changes to storage media only when UWF is disabled.

5.3 Enhanced Write Filter (EWF)

The Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) is a function that is only available for Windows Embedded operating systems. EWF is a write filter that can be configured by the user.

You can use the Enhanced Write Filter to boot Windows Embedded Standard from read-only media, for example, memory cards or Solid State Drives (SSD), or provide individual partitions with write protection.

EWF can be used to minimize write access to storage media. This is important because the write cycles are limited due to technical reasons. We therefore recommend using EWF if you work with these storage media.

If you use HORM or compressed NTFS, EWF is indispensable.

Both EWF and FBWF are preinstalled in the SIMATIC IPC images. If several writer filters are active on one partition at the same time, you may experience data loss. This may damage the machine or plant.

Make sure that you only activate one write filter for each partition.

Back up your data after installation of the operating system and programs. Activate the EWF.

When the system is set to automatically adjust the clock for daylight saving systems without central time management and with activated EWF set the clock forward or backward by one hour in the daylight saving time or standard time period each time the system boots.

The reason for this behavior is that Windows that the changeover to daylight saving time has occurred. Since this file is also protected against modification by the EWF, the marker is lost during the boot sequence and the adjustment is made again.

We therefore re clock manually.

Purpose and function

Comparison between EWF and FBWF

CAUTION

Data loss with several write filters

5.4 File Based Write Filter (FBWF)

With the Embedded Standard 7, Microsoft introduced a second write filter, the File Based Write Filter (FBWF).

In contrast to EWF, which protects partitions based on sectors, FBWF works on the file level. When FBWF is enabled, all files and folders of a partition are protected unless they are included in an exception list.

FBWF is disabled by factory default in the operating system images for SIMATIC IPC and must be enabled and configured by the user.

When you enable FBWF, the folders C:\FBWF and D:\FBWF are authorized for writing by default.

● You should prefer FBWF, because it is more flexible in its configuration and allows immediate writing without rebooting.

● If you use HORM or compressed NTFS, EWF is indispensable.

Make sure that you only activate one write filter for each partition.

Active Management Technology (AMT)

5.5 Buffer memory NVRAM

Depending on the configuration ordered, the motherboard is equipped with an NVRAM that applications can use to back up data in the event of a power failure.

Failure of the supply voltage for a duration longer than 5 ms is indicated by the DC FAIL signal.

Depending on the system utilization, up to 512 KB can be saved in the NVRAM.

A memory window with a maximum size of 512 KB can be displayed by means of PCI address register. The base address is initialized by the BIOS.

A corresponding function is implemented there for using the NVRAM under WinAC RTX and for using the CPU150xS SW controller.

The device can be operated without a monitor and keyboard. The device startup is guaranteed without these peripherals. A USB keyboard and mouse and a monitor can be connected later for diagnostics.

A digital DVI monitor or DisplayPort monitor cannot be activated retrospectively unless the Windows Embedded Standard or Windows 7 or Windows 10 Ultimate operating system has completed booting.

AMT (Active Management Technology) is technology for the remote maintenance of computers (simply called AMT-PC in the remainder of the document) and it includes the following functions:

● Keyboard Video Mouse( KVM) Redirection: Using KVM that is integrated in the AMT hardware you access the AMT PC remotely. With KVM, you can also control AMT PCs that have no operating system or a defective operating system. A KVM remote session is always possible with the KVM server integrated in the firmware. This means you can restart the PC and change the BIOS setup remotely.

● Remote power management: AMT PCs can be turned on and off and restarted from another PC.

● SOL (Serial over LAN): Redirection of the data of a serial interface to the network. The main use of the function is text-based remote control of an AMT PC using a console.

● IDE redirection: An ISO file on the help desk PC can be mounted on the AMT PC and used as a DVD drive.

An ISO file contains a memory image of the content of a CD or DVD structured in the ISO 9660 format.

● Remote reboot: An AMT PC can be booted from a bootable ISO file made available by another PC.

What does ESD mean?

NOTICE

Damage to ESD from touch

8.3 Directives and declarations

An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated components. Due to their design, electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static electricity. Such electronic components or modules are labeled as electrostatic sensitive devices.

The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:

● ESD – Electrostatic sensitive device

● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as a common international designation

Electrostatic sensitive devices can be labeled with an appropriate symbol.

Electrostatic sensitive devices, ESD, can be destroyed by voltages which are far below the human perception limit. If you touch a component or electrical connections of a module without discharging any electrostatic energy, these voltages may arise.

The damage to a module by an overvoltage can often not be immediately detected and only becomes evident after an extended period of operation. The consequences are incalculable and range from unforeseeable malfunctions to a total failure of the machine or system.

Avoid touching components directly. Make sure that persons, the workstation and the packaging are properly grounded.

Every person without a conductive connection to the electrical potential of his/her surroundings can be electrostatically charged.

The material with which this person comes into contact is of particular significance. The figure shows the maximum electrostatic voltages with which a person is charged, depending on humidity and material. These values conform to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-2.

There is no equipotential bonding without grounding. An electrostatic charge is not discharged and may damage the ESD.

Protect yourself against discharge of static electricity. When working with electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that the person and the workplace are properly grounded.

Protective measures against discharge of static electricity

8.3 Directives and declarations

● Disconnect the power supply before you install or remove modules which are sensitive to ESD.

● Pay attention to good grounding:

– When handling electrostatical sensitive devices, make sure that persons, the

workstation and devices, tools and packaging used are properly grounded. This way you avoid static discharge.

● Avoid direct contact:

– As a general rule, do not touch electrostatic sensitive devices, except in the case of

unavoidable maintenance work.

– Hold the modules at their edge so that you do not touch the connector pins or

conductor paths. This way, the discharge energy does not reach and damage the sensitive components.

– Discharge your body electrostatically before you take a measurement at a module. Do

so by touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.
