2.3 Security information
2.3 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
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (https://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 customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.

6.7 Onboarding process using the "SIDRIVE IQ Config" application
The next step of the onboarding process is automatically performed. This procedure takes
about 1 minute. During this procedure, the "SIDRIVE IQ Config" application outputs messages
about the actions currently being performed. You receive confirmation once the onboarding
process has been successfully completed. The connectivity module starts to capture data, and
transfers this data at the preset intervals.
The connectivity module automatically starts the calibration procedure at the motor. It requires
10 measuring cycles with the motor in the RUN state and 10 measuring cycles with the motor
in the OFF state. Precise data is only displayed in the SIDRIVE IQ once the calibration
procedure has been completed.
● Value "0": Motor off (OFF), sensor calibrated
● Value "1": Motor state not defined, sensor not calibrated
● Value "3": Motor on (RUN), sensor calibrated

8.1 Updating SIDRIVE IQ
Procedure
NOTICE
Damage to the connectivity module by disconnecting the battery
If the battery is disconnected while the firmware is being updated, then this can result in
unrepairable damage to the connectivity module.
Do not disconnect the battery while the firmware is being updated.
1. Activate the WLAN on your mobile device.
2. Open the "SIDRIVE IQ Config" application.
3. Select the "Settings" menu.
4. Select the "Firmware" submenu.
5. Update the firmware using one of the following options:
– Via an Internet address (URL)
– Load from a file that is resident on your mobile device
Siemens provides the firmware in the form of a ".bin" file (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/ps/25522/dl).
6. Tap on "Send". A progress bar is displayed while the firmware file is being transferred.

9. Tighten the 2 central fastening screws at the front cover.
10.Reenter the date and time of day:
– Automatically: Within approximately 1 minute of restarting the connectivity module, the
device time is automatically corrected via NTP
– Manually: Using the "SIDRIVE IQ Config" application and the "BLE name", establish a
connection to the connectivity module. The mobile device time is transferred to the
connectivity module.
8.5 Mounting bracket fastening
The connectivity module is mounted on a bracket in the factory. This mounting bracket is
permanently bonded to the motor. The connectivity module screwed to the mounting bracket.
You can mount the connectivity module on the opposite side of the motor if the factory mounted
position is not suitable for space reasons. To do this, use the mounting kit comprising mounting
bracket and adhesive (Page 43).
Carefully ensure that there is adequate clearance between the connectivity module and
current-carrying conductors. The center of the connectivity module should be located at the
height of the center cooling rib of the motor. When the terminal box is located at the drive end,
the center of the connectivity module should be 210 mm away from the non-drive end bearing
