Process control system enables safety cells
The APROL process control system from B&R helps to protect production and automation environments from cyber threats. This is made possible by a further development of user management.
B&R has further developed the user management of its APROL process control system with the aim of protecting production and automation environments from cyberattacks. For this purpose, large systems are divided into autonomously functioning automation cells (process cells). These consist of production-relevant zones, sections, sub-areas or sub-systems. One or more automation cells are then combined into security cells. In total, the flexible client/server architecture enables up to 64 security cells. If a security cell is attacked from outside, all other cells can continue to work without being affected. This minimizes potential damage and at the same time increases the availability of the system.
With its multi-runtime server architecture, the process control system ensures the independent operation of all required systems. A separate LDAP server (389 Directory Server) is available on each multi-runtime server. This means that (partial) systems within a safety cell can also be operated without a network connection to the outside.
