Security Risk Disclaimer
Pay attention to the following recommendations and measures to increase the level of security of ComAp
products and services.
Please note that possible cyber-attacks cannot be fully avoided by the below mentioned recommendations and
set of measures already performed by ComAp, but by following them the cyber-attacks can be considerably
reduced and thereby to reduce the risk of damage. ComAp does not take any responsibility for the actions of
persons responsible for cyber-attacks, nor for any damage caused by the cyber-attack. However, ComAp is
prepared to provide technical support to resolve problems arising from such actions, including but not limited to
restoring settings prior to the cyber-attacks, backing up data, recommending other preventive measures against
any further attacks.
Warning: Some forms of technical support may be provided against payment. There is no legal or factual
entitlement for technical services provided in connection to resolving problems arising from cyber-attack or
other unauthorized accesses to ComAp's Products or Services.
General security recommendations and set of measures
1. AccessCode
• Change the AccessCode BEFORE the device is connected to a network.
• Use a secure AccessCode – ideally a random string of 8 characters containing lowercase, uppercase letters
and digits.
• For each device use a different AccessCode.
2. Password
• Change the password BEFORE the device enters a regular operation.
• Do not leave displays or PC tools unattended if an user, especially administrator, is logged in.
3. Controller Web interface
• The controller web interface at port TCP/80 is based on http, not https, and thus it is intended to be used only
in closed private network infrastructures.
• Avoid exposing the port TCP/80 to the public Internet.
4. MODBUS/TCP
• The MODBUS/TCP protocol (port TCP/502) is an instrumentation protocol designed to exchange data
between locally connected devices like sensors, I/O modules, controllers etc. From it’s nature it does not
contain any kind of security – neither encryption nor authentication. Thus it is intended to be used only in closed
private network infrastructures.
• Avoid exposing the port TCP/502 to the public Internet.
5. SNMP

DriveConfig - 3.9.2 Global Guide 8

 • The SNMP protocol (port UDP/161) version 1,2 is not encrypted. Thus it is intended to be used only in closed
private network infrastructures.
• Avoid exposing the port UDP/161 to the public Internet.

4.12 Language translator

The controller can contain texts in more different languages. The number of slots available for additional
languages depends on the number of texts used in the configuration (i.e. on the application complexity, ECU
size, number of extension modules etc.).
Note: The language slot #1 is not changeable and always contains English.

The procedure of adding a new language consists of two steps:

1. Create new language
2. Translate the texts

4.12.1 Create language

Use the button to remove all unnecessary additional languages. If you want to create a "graphical"
language which uses large font (Korean, Chinese etc.), do not remove existing large font based
language with Unicode flag.
Click to the button (1) and create new language. If you want to create a Latin language, select English as
the base language. If you want to create graphical one, select an existing graphical language as e.g.
Chinese or "English-large" (2) as the base language.
Then give a suitable name (3) to the language and select locale ID (4) and time/date format (5). Code page
will be completed automatically after locale ID is selected.
Now you can remove the original graphical language, which was used as the base language.
Continue to the Translator tab to translate the texts from English to the target language.

DriveConfig - 3.9.2 Global Guide 34

4.12.2 Translating the texts
Just after the language is created all the texts in the language are in English and need to be translated into the
target language.

Image 4.20 Dictionary selection

Click on the button (1) to open a working (4) dictionary. A window with a list of dictionaries will open.
Select proper one or use the + button (2) to create new. The dictionaries with gray icon (3) are default
dictionaries and can't be selected as working. Use the button Use default only to perform the translation
with default dictionary only. In such case it is not possible to add/modify the translations.
Note: To prevent user translations from overwriting by new version of default dictionary, the user translations
are stored in a user-created working dictionary. The default dictionaries, which are delivered together with the
software, are read-only and can't be used as working dictionaries. The translations are searched in the working
dictionary first and if it is not found there, then the default dictionary is used.

Now un-translated items (that are not present in any dictionary) are shown in cyan color (3), translated by
user dictionary are white (1) and translated by default dictionary are gray (2). If a group contains at least one
un-translated item, it is shown in cyan (4), if all items of the group are translated, the group is gray or white
(5).
Note: The icon (6) indicates that the texts from the particular group is used on the controller display. The groups
without this icon contain texts visible only in GenConfig. In some cases it may be sufficient to translate only the
"controller" texts and save time needed for the translation.

DriveConfig - 3.9.2 Global Guide 35

 Image 4.21 Translator setup

Translate un-translated items by editing them directly in the column of the appropriate language. Items are
added to the working dictionary automatically. Go through all groups of texts (select group in the left part of
the window).
Using icons in the toolbar of the Translator tab you can mark all or one text as translated while leaving the
original text. It is possible also revert translated item to original text and mark it as un-translated back.

5.1 PLC Editor
PLC Editor is powerful tool which helps you to create your own PLC scheme. It has graphical interface to have
user interface easy to use.

Image 5.1 PLC Editor interface screen

5.1.1 Working with the editor

Create a PLC drawing
Note: The list of supported PLC blocks depends on controller type, firmware and presence of a dongle.

Note: The program must be switched to Expert mode to enable PLC editor!

If the currently opened archive does not contain any PLC program, then an empty drawing is created
automatically when you select the PLC Editor. The procedure of creation of a PLC drawing (program) contains
following essential steps:
1. Define inputs and outputs of the PLC program
2. Add more sheets if necessary
3. Add PLC blocks into the sheets
4. Create connections between inputs, blocks and outputs
5. Adjust properties of the blocks
IMPORTANT: Please always check that the blocks are ordered correctly, especially if you use direct
feedbacks from outputs to inputs within one sheet. Wrong order of blocks may lead to incorrect
results!!!

DriveConfig - 3.9.2 Global Guide 38

 Add new sheet
Press the button on the PLC toolbar to add new sheet under the selected sheet. Drag the sheet edges to
resize the sheet according your needs.

Image 5.2 Resize sheet

Note: The print function prints each sheet of the drawing at one sheet of paper, i.e. large sheets are zoomed out
to fit the paper size. This can cause that large sheets will be difficult to read.

Delete a sheet
Press the button on the PLC toolbar to delete currently selected sheet from the drawing.

Define sheet inputs

Image 5.3 Sheet inputs and outputs

Sheet inputs are located at the left side of a sheet. Follow the procedure below to add or edit an input.
1. Double-click on a free input position or existing input to add new input or edit the existing one.
2. Select the source for the input. If you create a binary input, you can select a source from following
categories:

DriveConfig - 3.9.2 Global Guide 39

 Bin. values - this category contains all binary values available in the controller as binary inputs, logical
binary outputs etc.
Sheet outputs - this category contains outputs of all sheets. Use this category if you need an output
from a sheet to be an input into another sheet.
3. If you create an analog input, you can select a source from following categories:
Ana. values - this category contains all analog values available in the controller as analog inputs,
electrical values, values from ECU etc.
All setpoints - this category contains all setpoints of the controller except the dedicated PLC setpoints.
Names, resolutions and dimensions of these setpoints can not be modified.
PLC setpoints - this category contains a group of setpoints which are dedicated for using in the PLC
program. PLC setpoints can be renamed (1), their dimension (2), resolution (3) and limits (4) can be
modified according to need of PLC blocks where they are used.
Note: There is a check to see if maximum number of dimensions has been exceeded. If the limit is reached, the
new dimension is not allowed to define. The information is read from the configuration table. Most controllers
can have 32 different dimension, newer controllers allow 64 different dimensions.

Image 5.4 PLC Setpoints

Sheet outputs - this category contains outputs of all sheets. Use this category if you need an output from a
sheet to be an input into another sheet.

 Export/Import sheets
Press the button on the PLC toolbar to save currently selected sheet into a file. Press the button to
import contents of currently selected sheet from a file. Configuration of sheet outputs is not imported and must
be done manually afterwards.
Note: The import will overwrite all previous sheet contents!

IMPORTANT: Please always check configuration of sheet inputs, especially if you import a sheet
which was originally created in different firmware branch and/or version.

Example: This function can be used e.g. if you have a sheet containing one particular function and you want
to use this functionality repeatedly.

PLC data types

Binary PLC inputs and outputs can have value of logical 0 (inactive state) or logical 1 (active state). Binary
inputs of a sheet can be connected to any binary value in the controller such as physical binary inputs, logical
binary outputs or binary outputs from other PLC blocks. Binary outputs of a sheet can be connected to output
terminals or logical binary inputs.
Analog PLC inputs and outputs are objects of the INTEGER16 type so they can have value from range -32767
to 32767. Value -32768 indicates that value is out-of-range. This value cannot be used as input for any block.
Value -32768 is displayed as #### on terminals. Analog inputs of PLC blocks can be either set to constants or
connected to any controller value including outputs from other PLC blocks or setpoints. There is a pool of
dedicated setpoints for using in the PLC. Their names, dimensions, resolution and limits can be edited.
Note: Recommended max value of Graphic data length is 8 kB.

Note: Although it is possible to connect a value of different data type to a sheet analog input, the PLC program
will work correctly only if the input value will be within the INTEGER16 range. If you connect for example a
UNSIGNED16 value as e.g. generator current, the block will work correctly with values 0 to 32767, but higher
values will be interpreted as negative.

Note: Most of PLC blocks require sources for their analog inputs, which have certain dimensions and
resolution. E.g. the block PID regulator require a source for the "gain" input, which is in [0.01%]. Only analog
objects with the same dimension and resolution can be connected to this input.

PLC program execution rules

The PLC program is executed every 100ms. The blocks are executed in order according to block numbers (item
numbers), which are indicated in each block. The block numbers are assigned automatically according to the
scheme at the picture below.

DriveConfig - 3.9.2 Global Guide 45
