Level Automation Completes Smooth Migration to Simatic S7-1200 G2 Control System

Severity: Low (Score: 21.9)

Sources: Siemens

Summary

Level Automation successfully migrated from the Simatic S7-1200 to the Simatic S7-1200 G2 control system in just two minutes, significantly streamlining the process compared to previous upgrades. The migration was facilitated by a new automated tool integrated into the TIA Portal, which generates readiness checks and migration suggestions. This upgrade is crucial as the new system complies with the IEC 62443 cybersecurity standard, addressing the heightened requirements of the NIS2 Directive. Many municipalities are still lagging in implementing NIS2 requirements, often mistakenly believing that purchasing 'NIS2-rated' machines suffices. The new system positions Level Automation at the forefront of compliance and cybersecurity readiness in the automation industry. Key Points: • Level Automation migrated to the Simatic S7-1200 G2 in just two minutes using an automated tool. • The new control system meets IEC 62443 cybersecurity standards, crucial for NIS2 compliance. • Many municipalities are not yet prepared for NIS2 requirements, indicating a potential compliance gap.
