[Automation Server Family] SmartStruxure solution

Automation Server
Communications hub
Capable of coordinating traffic from above and
below its location, the Automation Server can
deliver data directly to you or to other servers
throughout the site. The Automation Server can run
multiple control programs, manage local I/O,
alarms, and users, handle scheduling and logging,
and communicate using a variety of protocols.
Because of this, most parts of the system function
autonomously and continue to run as a whole even
if communication fails or individual SmartStruxure
servers or devices go offline.

Variety of connectivity options

The Automation Server has numerous ports that
enable it to communicate with a wide range of
protocols, devices, and servers.

The Automation Server has the following ports:

• One 10/100 Ethernet port

• Two RS-485 ports

Introduction • One built-in I/O bus port

At the core of a SmartStruxure solution is a • Two USB host ports

easy, management simple, and transactions
secure.

SSL Certificates
Communication between clients and the
SmartStruxure servers can be encrypted using
Secure Socket Layer (SSL 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and TLS
1.0). The servers ship with a default self-signed
certificate. Commercial Certification Authority (CA)
server certificates are supported to lower the risk of
malicious information technology attacks. Use of
encrypted communication can be enforced for both
WorkStation and WebStation access.
