Your application consists of a whole range of different interrelated mechanical,

electrical, and electronic components, the soft starter being just one part of the
application. The soft starter by itself is neither intended to nor capable of providing
the entire functionality to meet all safety-related requirements that apply to your
application. Depending on the application and the corresponding risk assessment
to be conducted by you, a whole variety of additional equipment is required such
as, but not limited to, external encoders, external brakes, external monitoring
devices, guards, etc.
As a designer/manufacturer of machines, you must be familiar with and observe
all standards that apply to your machine. You must conduct a risk assessment and
determine the appropriate Performance Level (PL) and/or Safety Integrity Level
(SIL) and design and build your machine in compliance with all applicable
standards. In doing so, you must consider the interrelation of all components of
the machine. In addition, you must provide instructions for use that enable the
user of your machine to perform any type of work on and with the machine such as
operation and maintenance in a safe manner.
The present document assumes that you are fully aware of all normative
standards and requirements that apply to your application. Since the soft starter
cannot provide all safety-related functionality for your entire application, you must
ensure that the required Performance Level and/or Safety Integrity Level is
reached by installing all necessary additional equipment.
WARNING
INSUFFICIENT PERFORMANCE LEVEL/SAFETY INTEGRITY LEVEL AND/
OR UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Cybersecurity Soft Starter for Asynchronous Motor
Cybersecurity
Overview
The objective of Cybersecurity is to help provide increased levels of protection for
information and physical assets from theft, corruption, misuse, or accidents while
maintaining access for their intended users.
No single Cybersecurity approach is adequate. Schneider Electric recommends a
defense-in-depth approach. Conceived by the National Security Agency (NSA),
this approach layers the network with security features, appliances, and
processes.
The basic components of this approach are:
• Risk assessment
• A security plan built on the results of the risk assessment
• A multi-phase training campaign
• Physical separation of the industrial networks from enterprise networks using
a demilitarized zone (DMZ) and the use of firewalls and routing to establish
other security zones
• System access control
• Device hardening
• Network monitoring and maintenance
This chapter defines the elements that help you configure a system that is less
susceptible to cyber-attacks.
Network administrators, system integrators and personnel that commission,
maintain or dispose of a device should:
• Apply and maintain the device’s security capabilities. See Device Security
Capabilities sub-chapter for details
• Review assumptions about protected environments. See Protected
Environment Assumptions sub-chapter for details
• Address potential risks and mitigation strategies. See Product Defense-in-
Depth sub-chapter for details
• Follow recommendations to optimize cybersecurity
For detailed information on the system defense-in-depth approach, refer to the
TVDA: How Can I Reduce Vulnerability to Cyber Attacks in the Control Room
(STN V2) on se.com.

Protected Environment Assumptions

Machines, controllers, and related equipment are usually integrated into networks.
Unauthorized persons and malware may gain access to the machine as well as to
other devices on the network/fieldbus of the machine and connected networks via
insufficiently secure access to software and networks.
WARNING
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE MACHINE VIA SOFTWARE AND
NETWORKS
• In your hazard and risk analysis, consider all hazards that result from access
to and operation on the network/fieldbus and develop an appropriate cyber
security concept.
• Verify that the hardware infrastructure and the software infrastructure into
which the machine is integrated as well as all organizational measures and
rules covering access to this infrastructure consider the results of the hazard
and risk analysis and are implemented according to best practices and
standards covering IT security and cyber security (such as: ISO/IEC 27000
series, Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation,
ISO/ IEC 15408, IEC 62351, ISA/IEC 62443, NIST Cybersecurity
Framework, Information Security Forum - Standard of Good Practice for
Information Security, SE recommended Cybersecurity Best Practices*).

20 NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022
Before considering cybersecurity practices on the device, please pay attention to

following points:
• Cybersecurity governance – available and up-to-date guidance on governing
the use of information and technology assets in your company.
• Perimeter security – installed devices, and devices that are not in service, are
in an access-controlled or monitored location.
• Emergency power – the control system provides the capability to switch to
and from an emergency power supply without affecting the existing security
state or a documented degraded mode.
• Firmware upgrades – the ATS480 upgrades are implemented consistently to
the current version of firmware available on se.com.
• Controls against malware – detection, prevention, and recovery controls to
help protect against malware are implemented and combined with
appropriate user awareness.
• Physical network segmentation – the control system provides the capability
to:
◦ Physically segment control system networks from non-control system
networks.
◦ Physically segment critical control system networks from non- critical
control system networks.
• Logical isolation of critical networks – the control system provides the
capability to logically and physically isolate critical control system networks
from non-critical control system networks. For example, using VLANs.
• Independence from non-control system networks – the control system
provides network services to control system networks, critical or non-critical,
without a connection to non-control system networks.
• Encrypt protocol transmissions over all external connections using an
encrypted tunnel, TLS wrapper or a similar solution.
• Zone boundary protection – the control system provides the capability to:
◦ Manage connections through managed interfaces consisting of
appropriate boundary protection devices, such as: proxies, gateways,
routers, firewalls, and encrypted tunnels.
◦ Use an effective architecture, for example, firewalls protecting application
gateways residing in a DMZ.
◦ Control system boundary protections at any designated alternate
processing sites should provide the same levels of protection as that of the
primary site, for example, data centers.
• No public internet connectivity – access from the control system to the
internet is not recommended. If a remote site connection is needed, for
example, encrypt protocol transmissions.
• Resource availability and redundancy – ability to break the connections
between different network segments or use duplicate devices in response to
an incident.
• Manage communication loads – the control system provides the capability to
manage communication loads to mitigate the effects of information flooding
types of DoS (Denial of Service) events.
• Control system backup – available and up-to-date backups for recovery from
a control system failure.
NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022 21

• Integrity (to help prevent unauthorized modification)
• Availability/authentication (preventing the denial of service and assuring
authorized access)
• Non-repudiation (preventing the denial of an action that took place)
• Traceability/detection (logging and monitoring)
Norm IEC 62443 is the worldwide standard for security of industrial control system
(ICS) networks.
From the norm definition, Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 is considered as Embedded
Device of the ICS network, and has been designed following the norm IEC62443-
4-1 and the technical security requirements are defined in compliance with norm
IEC 62443-4-2.
Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 security features prevent the unauthorized disclosure
of information via eavesdropping or casual exposure.
For an efficient security, the instructions and procedures should structure the roles
and responsibilities in terms of security within the organization; in other words,
who is authorized to perform what and when. These should be known by the
users.
The anti-intrusion and anti-physical access to any sensitive installation should be
set up.
All the security rules implemented in the ATS480 are in complement of the points
above.
22 NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022
The device does not have the capability to transmit data encrypted using the
following protocols: HTTP, Modbus slave over serial, Modbus slave over Ethernet,
EtherNet/IP, SNMP, SNTP. If other users gained access to your network,
transmitted information can be disclosed or subject to tampering.
NOTICE
CYBERSECURITY HAZARD
• For transmitting data over an internal network, physically or logically
segment the network, the access to the internal network needs to be
restricted by using standard controls such as firewalls.
• For transmitting data over an external network, encrypt protocol
transmissions over all external connections using an encrypted tunnel, TLS
wrapper or a similar solution.
The access through the digital inputs is not controlled.

Any computer using SoMove, DTM, Webserver or EcoStruxure Control Expert
should have an updated anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-ransomware application
activated during the use.
The ATS480 have the capability to export its settings and files manually or
automatically. It is recommended to archive any settings and files (device backup
images, device configuration, device security policies) in a secure area.
Product Defense-in-Depth
Use a layered network approach with multiple security and defense controls in
your IT and control system to minimize data protection gaps, reduce single-points
of failure and create a strong cybersecurity posture. The more layers of security in
your network, the harder it is to breach defenses, take digital assets or cause
disruption.

ATS480 Security Policy

To facilitate cybersecurity first configurations, the ATS480 offers 2 security profiles
with preset ATS480 security features. This operation applies default values
adapted to the security level targeted by the system of which the device is part.
Selection of these 2 security policies can be done upon first power up of the
device, both with the display terminal, SoMove, DTM or EcoStruxure Control
Expert.
Security Policy “Minimum”
This profile offers a minimum of cybersecurity features. The user access control
(login & password check at connection) are disabled on SoMove, EADM,
WebServer and EcoStruxure Control Expert.
Those connections remain unsecured and open for potential elevation of privilege.
This profile is to be used for installation where authentication & authorization
constraints are covered by access control mitigation external to the device.
When Minimum policy is selected, each user accessing the device is considered
to have ADMIN role and privileges.
Security Policy “Advanced”
This profile presets the device security by enabling security features. The user
access control is enabled for the web server, SoMove EADM and EcoStruxure
Control Expert.
When activating the “Advanced” security policy, the user is identified as Admin
and is requested to create a login and a password unique to the device.
A default password is displayed on the display terminal. It can be kept as it is or
modified.

Data Flow Restriction

A firewall device is required to secure the access to the device and limit the data
flow.
For detailed information, refer to the TVDA: How Can I Reduce Vulnerability to
Cyber Attacks in the Control Room (STN V2) on the Schneider Electric website.
Initial Setup
Before using the device, it is mandatory to select a security policy, refer to the
Chapter Initial Setup in the User Manual NNZ85515..
Password
Changing Password
The user password can be changed from the DTM Admin options screen.
Reset Password
The Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 stores password in a secure non-reversible
format. It is impossible to retrieve a password that has been lost by his user.
For ADMIN user, a special operation is available with the graphic display terminal
to reset the ADMIN password to a default value unique to the device.
To reset the ADMIN password:
Step Action
Navigate to the menu [Device Management] DMT [Cybersecurity]

ADMIN modifies it.
Upon first use, the commissioning tools and webserver will request the user to
change this password prior to connecting. The cybersecurity policy does not
change when the password is reset.
Password Policy
By default, the password policy of the Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 complies with
IEEE 1686–2013 as following:
• 8 characters minimum with ASCII [32 to 122] characters
• At least one digit (0-9)
• At least one special character (@ % + ‘ ! # “ $ ^ ? : , ( ) [ ] ~ _ . ; = & / \ –
[SPACE])
In addition, for password changes, the password history is saved and prevents the
reuse of a password that has been set at least once in the last 5 times.
28 NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022
The password policy can be customized or totally disabled to match with

password policy in place in the system of which the device is part.
The following settings are available:
• Password policy: enabled/disabled. If disabled, a password is requested as
authentication factor but there is no specific rule defined regarding the
password robustness
• Password history: No restriction, Exclude last 3, Exclude last 5
• Special character required: YES/NO
• Numeric character required: YES/NO
• Alphabetic character required: YES/NO
• Minimum password length: any value between 6 and 20
This password policy customization can only be done with SoMove, DTM or
EcoStruxure Control Expert. Please refer to DTM online help for details.
NOTE: Changing the User authentication security policy (elevation or
reduction of privilege) will be taken into account:
• Upon next connection to the soft starter, if the Initial Setup connection is
still open
• Immediately in other scenarios
Security Event Logging

The following time-stamped events are logged in a dedicated security log file:
• User authentications, authentication and logout attempts
• Security parameter changes
• Access to the security events
• Device reboot, startup
• Device hardware modifications and software updates
• Device Configuration Integrity changes (restore, download or factory settings)
The Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 can store up to 500 events, a warning is raised
when the log base is reaching 90% of capacity. This warning can be
acknowledged with SoMove. When the maximum capacity is reached, the oldest
events are erased.
If access control is disabled, any security event is identified as ADMIN action.
Embedded Device provides the capability to determine whether a given human
took a particular action. The link is established between the user identifier, the
action realized and the timestamping of the action (date and time) to provide an
efficient source of security logging.
Irrelevant date & time can result in false interpretation of the security event logging
and lead to either false positive or undetectable security threat detection.
NOTICE
WRONG TIMESTAMPING RESULT IN NON-REPUDIATION ISSUE
• Verify and regularly realign the synchronization of the device data & time.
The security events can be read from SoMove, DTM and EcoStruxure Control
Expert. For security reasons, security logs are stored in a database to which read-
only access is provided. There is no possibility to edit or erase this log database.
The format system log record follows the syntax defined by Syslog RFC–5424
2009 and the semantic normalized by Schneider Electric.

The following figure shows the Standard Mode state diagram:
36 NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022
Description of Operating States
Soft starter Operating State

Each state represents an internal reaction by the soft starter.
The operating state of the soft starter changes depending on whether the control
word is sent to CMD or an event occurs (an error detection, for example).
The soft starter operating state can be identified by the value of the status word
ETA .
Operating State Description
1 - Not ready to switch on Initialization starts. This is a transient state invisible to the communication network.
2 - Switch on disabled The power stage is not ready to switch on.
The soft starter is locked, no power is supplied to the motor.
The configuration and adjustment parameters can be modified.
3 - Ready to switch on The power stage is ready to switch on and awaiting power stage supply mains.
The soft starter is locked, no power is supplied to the motor.
The configuration and adjustment parameters can be modified.
NOTE: If mains contactor is wired on a relay ([R1 Assignment] R1 is set to [Isolating Relay]
ISOL or [R3 Assignment] R3 is set to [Mains Contactor] LLC), mains contactor is not closed
and we stay in this state until a run command is given.
4 - Switched on Power stage is switched on.
The power stage of the soft starter is ready to operate, but voltage has not yet been applied to the
output.
The adjustment parameters can be modified.
NOTE: By default, Relay R1 [R1 Assignment] R1 is set to [Operating State Fault] FLT then
the mains contactor is closed. The soft starter is locked, no power is supplied to the motor.
NOTE: If mains contactor is wired on a relay ([R1 Assignment] R1 is set to [Isolating Relay]
ISOL or [R3 Assignment] R3 is set to [Mains Contactor] LLC), we reach temporarily this
state once Run command is applied and mains contactor is closed allowing presence of
power stage before switching to 5 - Operation enabled.
5 - Operation enabled Power stage is enabled. The soft starter is in running state
For a separate control stage with mains contactor, the contactor is closed.

Stop Commands
Halt Command
The Halt command enables movement to be interrupted without having to leave
the 5 - Operation enabled state. The stop is performed in accordance with the
[Type of stop] S t t parameter.
If the Halt command is active, no power is supplied to the motor and no torque is
applied.
Regardless of the assignment of the [Type of stop] STT parameter ([Freewheel]
F, [Deceleration] D, or [Braking] B) the soft starter remains in the 5 - Operation
enabled state.
Freewheel Command
A Freewheel Stop command using a digital input of the terminal or a bit of the
control word assigned to Freewheel Stop causes a change to operating state 2 -

Network Layer Supported Functions/Protocols

ARP Protocol
The ARP (Address resolution protocol) is a protocol used to map network
addresses (IP) to hardware addresses (MAC).
The protocol operates below the network layer as a part of the OSI link layer, and
is used when IP is used over Ethernet. A host, wishing to obtain a physical
address, broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. A unique IP
address is assigned to the host, and is sent to its hardware address.
ICMP Protocol
The VW3A3720 Ethernet modules manage the ICMP protocol.
• ICMP client: not supported
• ICMP server: the managed requests are the following:
Type Description
0 Echo reply (ping)
3 Destination unreachable
4 Sources quench
5 Redirect
6 Alternate host address
8 Echo request (ping)
9 Router advertisement
10 Router solicitation
11 Time exceeded
12 Parameter problem
13 Time stamp request
14 Time stamp reply
15 Information request
16 Information reply
17 Address mask request
18 Address mask reply

yiaddr Client IP address, “your” IP address proposed by the server
siaddr IP address of the server

giaddr Gateway IP address, used when a relay agent needs to be crossed
sname Server name

file Location of boot file
options Optional parameters with DHCP extensions
DHCP Message
The DHCP protocol uses 8 different types of message during the IP assigning
process.
The following table describes the 8 messages:
Message Description
DISCOVER The client tries to discover the DHCP server using a broadcast
OFFER The server proposes a configuration
REQUEST The client chooses a DHCP server and declines other offers
NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022 51
Message Description
ACK The chosen server assigns the IP configuration
NAK The server rejects the client request
DECLINE The client declines the assigned IP configuration
RELEASE The client releases Its IP address before the end of the lease
INFORM The client asks for network information (it already has an IP address)
Operating Modes
The choice between DHCP, BOOTP, and fixed configuration is made through one
parameter:
• Fixed: the Ethernet adapter uses the address stored in parameter.
• BOOTP: the Ethernet adapter receives the addresses from BOOTP server.
• DHCP: if the device name [XXX] is valid, the Ethernet adapter receives the
addresses from the DHCP server.

I/O Scanning Service

The I/O scanning service is used to exchange periodic I/O data between:
• A controller or PLC (I/O scanner).
• Devices (I/O scanning servers).
This exchange is performed by implicit requests, thus avoiding the need to
program the controller (PLC).
The I/O scanner periodically generates the read/write multiple registers
(23 = 17 hex) request. The I/O scanning service operates if it has been enabled in
the PLC and in the soft starter. The soft starter parameters assigned to I/O
scanning have been selected by default. This assignment can be modified by
configuration.
When the I/O scanning service has been enabled in the soft starter:
54 NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022
• A TCP connection is assigned to it.

• The parameters assigned in the periodic variables are exchanged cyclically
between the Ethernet adapter and the soft starter.
• The parameters assigned to the periodic output variables are reserved for I/O
scanning. They cannot be written by other Modbus services, even if the I/O
scanner is not sending its periodic output variables.
I/O Scanner Setting

The communication scanner is managed through the DTM-based PC software.

EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Module Features Overview
NNZ85540.02 – 04/2022 55
The Ethernet adapter supports the following profiles:

• Soft starter standard profile for assembly 100 and 101.
In addition to these cyclic exchanges, the adapter also supports explicit
messaging.
Cyclical Exchanges (Implicit Exchanges)
Overview
This part gives a description of the assembly sets and how to configure them.
Principle of Control Configuration

By the configuration of the control, it is possible to decide from which channel the
soft starter receives its commands either permanently or depending on a
switching command. Numerous configurations are possible. For more information,
refer to the user manual. The following configurations are some of the available
possibilities.
The selection of the assembly set is made with the Ethernet Module.
Control with Communication Scanner

If the assemblies selected are 100 and 101, the soft starter is controlled according
to Standard profile.
By configuring the communication scanner, it is possible to assign any relevant
parameter of the soft starter to the 32 input and 32 output variables of the
assemblies. This is available through the DTM interface.
Messaging (Explicit Exchanges)
Introduction
Parameters of the soft starter can be accessed by R/W as CIP objects.
Altivar Parameters Path

The soft starter parameters are grouped in classes:
• Each application class has only one instance.
• Each instance groups 200 parameters.
• Each attribute in an instance relates to a parameter.
The first parameter registered in the first application class (class code: 70 hex =
112) has the logical address 3000.
Example
The following table describes the examples of logical addresses:
Logical Address Hexadecimal Decimal
3000 70 hex / 01 hex / 01 hex 112/1/1

Fast Device Replacement

Presentation
FDR Service
The FDR (Fast Device Replacement) service is used to simplify the maintenance
of soft starters connected to an Ethernet network. In the event of a soft starter not
working correctly, this service automatically reconfigures its replacement.
The new soft starter (FDR client) retrieves:
• Its IP addresses and the FDR file path from a DHCP server
• The FDR file from an FTP server if the soft starter is not configured in local
configuration
In practice, the DHCP server and the FTP server are the same device (PAC M580,
M340 PLC, or dedicated PCs).
The FDR file contains:
• The Ethernet parameters (configuration of I/O scanning, FDR, and so on)
• The soft starter parameters (soft starter, functions, application, and so on)
The FDR service is based on identification of the device by a Device Name. In the
case of the soft starter, this is represented by the [Device Name] PAN parameter.
The configuration of the FDR service is accessible via embedded webserver or
DTM-based software or Graphic Display Terminal.
NOTE: Check that all the network devices have different Device Name.
The FDR server controls duplication of Device Name (it does not assign an IP
address that has already been assigned and is active).
If the same IP address is supplied on 2 devices, the second should trigger an IP
address duplication (network management detected error which triggers an
[Fieldbus Error] EPF2 by default).
If the FDR service has been enabled, the Ethernet adapter attempts to restore its
IP addresses on each power-up. Each time the procedure has detected error, the
Ethernet adapter reiterates its FDR requests (DHCP).
After assigning the Ethernet adapter IP addresses, if the configuration is not
downloaded successfully, the Ethernet adapter triggers a [FDR 2 Error] FDR2.

IP Assignment Save
If the soft starter parameter configuration has been downloaded, the FDR server
assigns the following addresses:
• IP address,
• Subnet mask,
• Gateway IP address,
• FDR server IP address.
Periodic Saving
Periodic saving of the soft starter configuration can be configured on the FDR
server in either local configuration or downloaded configuration mode
Using the embedded webserver or the DTM-based software:
• Set FDR synchronization to automatic mode
• Set the synchronization cycle time
NOTE: Saving too often overburden the fieldbus and adversely affects its
performance (factory setting: 2.560 s.).
Limitations
The FDR service is able to store the current configuration of the soft starter, but
does not provide the possibility to store multi-parameters configurations.

Monitoring of Communication Channels

Communication channels are monitored if they are involved in one of the following
parameters:
• The control word [Cmd Register] CMD from the active command channel
• The control word containing the command switch bit configured on
[Command Switching] CCS
As soon as one of these parameters has been written once to a communication
channel, it activates monitoring for that channel.
If a communication warning is sent (in accordance with the protocol criteria) by a
monitored port or fieldbus module, the soft starter triggers a communication
interruption.
The soft starter reacts according to the communication interruption configuration
(operating state Fault, maintenance, fallback, and so on).
If a communication warning occurs on a channel that is not being monitored, the
soft starter does not trigger a communication interruption.
Enabling of Communication Channels

A communication channel is enabled once one parameter involved has been
written at least one time. The soft starter is only able to start if the channel
involved in command value is enabled.
Example:
A soft starter in STD profile is connected to an active communication channel.
It is mandatory to write at least one time the command in order to switch from 4-
Switched on to 5-Operation enabled state.
A communication channel is disabled in forced local mode.

On exiting forced local mode:
• The soft starter copies the run commands value to the active channel
(maintained).
• Monitoring of the active channels for the command resumes following a time
delay [Time-out forc. local] FLOT.
• Soft starter control only takes effect once the soft starter has received the
command from the active channels.

• Value of the operating state word [Status Register] ETA
• Specific data for all available fieldbusses are in dedicated submenus.
• In the [Command word image] CWI submenu: control words from all
channels
Control Word Display

The [Command Channel] CMDC parameter indicates the active command
channel.
The [Cmd Register] CMD parameter indicates the hexadecimal value of the
control word (CMD) used to control the soft starter.
The [Command word image] CWI submenu ([COM. Module cmd.] CMD3)
parameter is used to display the hexadecimal value of the control word from the
fieldbus.
