– Isolate drive control network (172.16.0.0) from other networks.
– Restrict drive connections to the interfaces in Table 2.
– Scan USB flash drives for viruses/malware before you connect them to the LCT.
– Route Ethernet-based bus communication (if existing) for the plant control system through a
protected control network infrastructure that is isolated from the Internet.
– Follow the remote access gateway setup recommendations to establish a network connection
to the ABB Ability platform.
– Restrict physical access to the drive and control network access to authorized personnel.
– Only allow control network access for drive servicing by qualified personnel.
1.7.2. PEC controller security features
The PEC controller software fulfills the minimum cyber-security requirements by using security
features of AC 800PEC platform. The following Ethernet ports are open by default to ensure that the
system operates properly
Table 3 – Open Ethernet ports for PEC controller software
Port Service Usage
22/tcp ssh/sftp Secure communication with AC 800PEC controller
(used by AC 800PEC Tool, LCT, Shell Terminal)
8080 / tcp http-proxy,
gSOAP soap2.8
SOAP communication with AC 800PEC controller
8081 / tcp blackice-icecap,
gSOAP soap2.8
SOAP communication with AC 800PEC controller
102 / tcp mms/IEC61850 MMS Server (only running with Industrial IT), IEC61850
123 / udp ntp Network Time Protocol: Synchronize computer clock times in a network
of computers.
5002 / udp rfe/PEC Scanner For scanning controller over network (used by AC 800PEC Tool)
The AC 800PEC controller is also equipped with a serial port that provides a root shell for a user to
directly change a password. This port must be secured and only made accessible to authorized
persons.
IMPORTANT! Connecting the serial port to a remote terminal server to gain access the serial port
remotely can create security risks. Exposure of the Ethernet ports, serial port or controller password
to unauthorized persons can create significant security risk.
1.7.3. Control terminal (LCT) security features
The LCT Ethernet interface (AC 800PEC) is used for the internal exchange of drive data.
The main security features of the LCT are:
– System files are write-protected
A few storage locations for user data and settings do not have write protection.
– LCT regularly reboots from write-protected system storage to restore the original state and
configuration of the LCT operating system
– Unused ports (Ethernet and others) are disabled or blocked.
Ports and services that are required by the system are left open and are described in Table 4.

2.3. Electrical safety
The following electrical safety instructions are based on EN 50110.
2.3.1. General safety instructions
1) Minimize hazards
2) Before energizing the drive:
• Remove all foreign objects are from the drive
• Fasten all internal and external covers securely
• Close, lock, and/or bolt all doors
• Move the release dial of the door safety switches into the locked position
3) Before working on the drive:
• Turn off, lock out, and tag out the main and auxiliary power supplies to the drive
• De-energize the drive
• Ensure that the safety ground connections are in place
• Ensure that the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is available and used when
required
• Inform the involved personnel about the potential safety hazards
