2.1 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
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.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under

2.2 ESD Guidelines

2.2 ESD Guidelines

ESD
All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or components. Due to
their design, these electronic elements are highly sensitive to overvoltage, and thus to any
electrostatic discharge.
The acronym ESD has become the established designation for such Electrostatic Sensitive
Devices. This is also the international abbreviation for such devices.
ESD modules are identified by the following symbol:

NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge
ESD devices can be destroyed by voltages well below the threshold of human perception.
These static voltages develop when you touch a component or electrical connection of a
device without having discharged your own body. The electrostatic discharge current may
lead to latent failure of a module, that is, this damage may not be apparent immediately, but
in operation may cause malfunction.

 Safety information
2.2 ESD Guidelines

Electrostatic charging
Anyone who is not connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings can be
electrostatically charged.
The diagram below shows the maximum electrostatic voltage which may build up on a
person coming into contact with the materials specified in the diagram. These values
correspond to IEC 801-2 specifications.

Basic protective measures against electrostatic discharge

● Make sure the grounding is good:
When working with electrostatically sensitive devices, make sure that the person, the
workstation and the packaging are properly grounded. In this way, you can avoid
becoming electrostatically charged.
● Avoid direct contact:
You should only touch ESD components if this is unavoidable (for example, during
maintenance work). Handle the modules without touching any chip pins or PCB traces. In
this way, the discharged energy cannot reach or damage sensitive devices.
Discharge your body before you start taking any measurements on a module. Do so by
touching grounded metallic parts. Use only grounded measuring instruments.

2.3 Data security in automation

2.3 Data security in automation

The topic of data security and access protection (security) is becoming more and more
important in industrial environments. Increased networking of entire industrial plants, vertical
integration and networking of the levels within a company, and new technologies, such as
remote maintenance, are resulting in more increased requirements for protection of the
industrial plant. Security is the generic term for all protection measures:
● Loss of confidentiality due to unauthorized accessing of data
● Loss of integrity due to data manipulation
● Loss of availability due to destruction of data
To provide protection from manipulation in sensitive plant and production networks, it is not
enough to apply data security solutions for offices to industrial applications without any
adaptation.

Requirements
The special requirements of communication in an industrial environment
(e.g. communication in real time) result in additional requirements for security in industrial
use:
● Protection against interaction between automated cells
● Protection of network segments
● Protection from unauthorized access
● Scalability of the security functionality
● No influence on the network structure.

Threats
Threats can arise from external and internal manipulation. Loss of data security is not always
caused by deliberate actions.
Internal threats arise due to:
● Technical faults
● Operating errors
● Errors in programs
This internal hazards are compounded by external threats. The external hazards do not differ
from the known threats in the office environment:
● Computer viruses and computer worms
● Trojan horses
● Unauthorized access
● Password phishing.
Password phishing means attempting to get a user to divulge access data and passwords by
masquerading as a different identity in an e-mail.

 Safety information
2.4 Recycling and disposal

Precautions
The most important precautions against manipulation and loss of data security in an
industrial environment are:
● Filtering and verification of data traffic through virtual private networks (VPN). A virtual
private network is used to exchange private data in a public network (e.g. the Internet).
The most common VPN technology is IPsec. IPsec is a collection of protocols based on
the IP protocol at the network layer.
● Segmentation into protected automation cells. The aim of this concept is to protect
devices in the network through security modules. A group of protected devices forms a
protected automation cell. Only security modules in the same group or the device
protected by you can be interchanged.
● Authentication (identification) of the networked devices. The security modules identify
themselves to each other via a secure (encrypted) channel using authentication
procedures. This prevents access to a protected segment by unauthorized persons from
outside.
● Encryption of the data traffic. The confidentiality of the data is ensured by encrypting the
data traffic. For this purpose, every security module is given a VPN certificate which
includes the encryption key.

VDI guidelines on information security in industrial automation

The VDI/VDE Association of German Engineers "Measurement and Automation" has
published a guideline for implementation of a security architecture in the industrial
environment in the VDI guideline "VDI/VDE 2182 Sheet 1, IT Security for Industrial
Automation - General Model". You will find the guideline under "VDI Standards" on the VDI
home page: VDI guidelines (http://www.vdi.de/43460.0.html)

2.4 Recycling and disposal

For environmentally friendly recycling and disposal of your old device, please contact a
company certified for the disposal of electronic waste and dispose of the device in
accordance with the regulations in your country.

3.2 Modbus TCP functions

3.2 Modbus TCP functions

Modbus TCP
Modbus TCP is a bus system according to the standard IEC 61784-2 CPF 15/1 with the
transmission protocol Modbus. Modbus TCP is based on a client/server architecture and
transmits data linearly.
As the client, the controller has the initiative in data transmission and transmits requests to
the server. The requests contain the Function Code and additional data. A server cannot
transmit information to the client autonomously. The 3RW5 soft starter works as the server
and can only respond to the requests of the client. The 3RW5 soft starter supplies the
relevant feedback messages to the bits and registers retrieved by the client or takes over the
bits and registers written by the client into the internal memory. No requests can be
transferred from server to server.
The server processes the requests of the client and answers within a certain time with one of

Description
3.2 Modbus TCP functions

Connection monitoring function - "TCP keep-alive monitoring"

To avoid blocking the communication link permanently if the communication partner fails,
Modbus TCP provides the "TCP keep-alive monitoring" function for monitoring the
connection.
The following parameters can be permanently set for this purpose:
● Keep-alive time: 300 s
● Keep-alive maximum attempts: 1
● Keep-alive interval: 75 s
If no TCP data transmission is detected within 375 seconds, the "TCP keep-alive monitoring"
function signals connection broken and ends the communication link automatically. On a
broken connection, the 3RW5 soft starter responds as set in parameter "Response to
CPU/Master Stop" (Page 45).

Connection monitoring function - Access monitoring of the control source

An independent connection monitoring function monitors the write access of the authorized
Modbus client within the access monitoring time. Only the Modbus client, which is the first to
set up a communication link to the server, is authorized for this access.
A write access of the Modbus client to the server (process image outputs (PIQ), parameter)
must be repeated regularly. If the write process is not repeated for the duration of the access
monitoring time, the 3RW5 soft starter interprets this condition as a broken connection to the
Modbus client. The 3RW5 soft starter responds as set in the parameter "Response to
CPU/Master Stop" (Page 45).
You will find the "Access monitoring time" parameter in the data table "Communication
parameters" (Page 99). The factory setting is 5 seconds.

3.3 frame structure

3.3 frame structure

The data traffic between the client and the server and the corresponding answer from the
server to the client starts with the Address Field, followed by the Function Code. Following
this, the data (Data) are transferred. The structure of the Data depends on the function code
used. In the response telegram of the server to the client, the same Address Field and the
same Function Code are entered. The Data are filled according to the requested data.

● Address Field: This address is used to address a defined server on the bus.
● Function Code: Defines the server function requested with the telegram.
● Data = Telegram data: Function-code-dependent administration data and net data. When
transferring the register data, the high byte is always transferred first, followed by the low
byte, in accordance with the Modbus specification.
You will find more information on Function Codes in Chapter Function Codes (Page 51).

3.5 Operating modes and master control function

The following modes are available (in ascending order of priority):

Operating mode Control source Control of the 3RW5 soft starter Priority
Automatic Fieldbus Modbus client (e.g. PLC) controls Lowest
Manual - - Connection abort (depending on the 3RW5 soft starter -
operation and parameterization)
local Input controlled Digital inputs Input actions control ↓
3RW5 HMI controlled 3RW5 HMI 3RW5 HMI controlled ↓
PC controlled Local interface SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) controlled Highest

If the connection to the control source is aborted, the control priority automatically switches
back to the lowest priority of the current mode.
Depending on the 3RW5 soft starter and the parameter assignment, the lowest priority in
operating mode "Manual operation local" is "Input controlled" in the following cases:
● 3RW52 soft starter
● 3RW55 soft starter with one of the following parameter assignments:
– Input action "Manual operation local" is parameterized and switched on.
– A controlling input action (e.g. "Motor CW") is parameterized, but the input action
"Manual operation local" is not parameterized.

3.5 Operating modes and master control function

Sets the operating mode

A higher-priority mode can actively take over as master control from a lower-priority mode at
any time; the reverse is not possible.
The master control function can only be returned to the mode with the lowest priority. Control
sources with higher priority must take the master control function from the mode with the
lowest priority.
A mode with lower priority can only take the master control function back while the motor is
switched off.
The mode with higher priority takes over or receives the master control function from the
current mode in the following ways:
● The mode with higher priority actively takes over the master control function:
– Digital inputs: By switching on the input action "Manual operation local", if this is
parameterized (depending on the 3RW5 soft starter).
– 3RW5 HMI: With the action "LOCAL / REMOTE"
– SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
● If the input action "Manual operation local" is not parameterized or available (depending
on the 3RW5 soft starter), the digital inputs obtain the master control function from a
mode of lower priority in one of the following ways:
– Via the "Manual operation local - input controlled" bit in the data table
"Process image outputs (PIQ)" (Page 81).
The mode with the lowest priority receives or takes over the master control function from the
current mode in the following ways:
● The mode with higher priority actively returns the master control function:
– Digital inputs: By switching off the input action "Manual operation local", if this is
parameterized (depending on the 3RW5 soft starter).
– 3RW5 HMI: With the action "LOCAL / REMOTE"
– SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)
● If the input action "Manual operation local" is not parameterized or available (depending
on the 3RW5 soft starter), the mode with the lowest priority can actively obtain the master
control function from the digital inputs or on connection abort:
– Via the "Manual operation local - input controlled" bit in the data table
"Process image outputs (PIQ)" (Page 81).

7.2 Function Codes

Access to memory areas

Two memory areas are used in the 3RW5 Soft Starter:
● A memory area for addressing the bit information
● A memory area for addressing the register information
The Function Codes for bit information (01, 02, 05, 15) thus always access the bit memory
area. The Function Codes for register information (03, 04, 06, 16, 23) always access the
register memory area.
Whether information is read-only (r) or read/writeable (r/w) is stated in the data tables in
chapter Data tables (Page 75).

7.3 Error codes

7.3.1 Exception Responses

Operating principle
When the server detects an error in the request telegram from the client (illegal register
address, for example), the server sets the highest value bit in the function code of the
response telegram: Requested function code + 80h. This step is followed by transmission of
a byte with the Exception Code that describes the cause of the error.

Typical exception code frame

The exception code telegram from the server has the following structure, for example:
● Address Field: The address of the 3RW5 Soft Starter is not entered in the example (-).
● Requested Function Code: 5
● Exception code: 2

A.2 Data tables

A.2.1 Byte arrangement

When data longer than one byte are stored, the bytes are arranged as follows ("big endian"):

1 register corresponds to 1 word (2 bytes).

A.2.2 Specifications
The following specifications apply in the data tables:
● Addresses are represented as hexadecimal values.
● The access to undefined addresses is illegal and generates an error message.
● Non-relevant (reserved) entries are not listed.
Fill these entries with "0" when writing.
● In data tables for parameters, codes are shown in square brackets "[...]". "[D*]" describes
the default coding.

Object number (Obj. No.)

The object number (Obj. No.) is used for unique identification of all parameters available in
the 3RW5 soft starter. In the case of a parameterization error, the object number of the faulty
parameter is displayed in data table "Soft starter diagnostics" (Page 82) under
"Faulty parameter number".

Glossary

Configuration
Configuration is the systematic arrangement, setting, and networking of the individual
3RW5 soft starters within the device or network view.

Configuring
This section refers to the configuration and parameterization of 3RW5 soft starters.

Diagnostics
Data that is transferred from the 3RW5 soft starter and indicates the current operating status.

Fieldbus
Industrial communication system that connects a large number of field devices such as
probes (sensors), final controlling elements, and drives (actuators) to a control device.

I&M data
Identification and maintenance data.
Information stored in a module that helps you to check the plant configuration, to locate
hardware modifications in a plant, or to remedy faults in a plant. I&M data enable modules to
be uniquely identified online.

IP address
To enable a Modbus TCP device to be addressed as a node on Industrial Ethernet, this
Modbus TCP device requires an IP address that is unique within the network. The IP
address is made up of 4 decimal numbers with a range of values from 0 through 255. The
decimal numbers are separated by a decimal point.
The IP address is made up as follows:
● Address of the (sub)net
● Address of the station (host or network node)

Manual, 03/2018, A5E43676481002A/RS-AA/001 103
Glossary

MAC address
The MAC address is a worldwide unique device identification and is assigned to each
Modbus TCP device during production. The Modbus TCP device can be accessed via the
MAC address via LAN.
The MAC address is 6 bytes long and has the following structure:
● 3 bytes for the manufacturer ID
● 3 bytes with a device identifier (consecutive number).
The MAC address can generally be read from the front on the device,
e.g.: 08-00-06-6B-80-C0.

Messages
Data that is transferred from the 3RW5 soft starter and indicates the current operating status.

Parameterization
Parameterization is the definition of parameters using the parameterization software.

PII/PIQ
Process image input/process image output

Reading data
Data are transferred from the 3RW5 soft starter.

Receive data
Data that are transferred to the 3RW5 soft starter.

SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal)

SIRIUS Soft Starter ES (TIA Portal) is the central software for commissioning, operating, and
diagnostics of the SIRIUS 3RW5 soft starter series.

STEP 7
The basic STEP 7 software is the standard tool for the SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7, and
SIMATIC WinAC automation systems.

Writing data
Data are transferred to the 3RW5 soft starter.
