Symbol: _cds_icon_cyber_screen_blue.png

Function: The command opens the “Security Screen” view.

Call:

  • “View” Menu

  • _cds_icon_cyber_screen_blue.png icon or _cds_icon_cyber_screen_grey.png in the status bar

    The icon is displayed in blue when a valid certificate is specified for the digital signature. When only one client certificate is specified for the encrypted communication, the icon remains gray, resulting in the client certificate providing no increased security for the user.

The following security features of CODESYS are configured and displayed in the view:

  • Personal user certificate

  • Encrypted Communication

  • Encryption and signatures of IEC projects

  • Encryption and signature of download, online change, and boot application

  • Security level

When the “Security Screen” is opened and closed again, the current settings are applied in the user options, even when no active changes have been made.

If the CODESYS Security Agent add-on product is installed, then the “Security Screen” view provides an additional “Devices” tab. This allows for the configuration of certificates for the encrypted communication with controllers.
