(2) Example of a System Configuration Considering Security
The following describes an example of a configuration of a CENTUM system that handles field
wireless devices and that considers security.
n Basic Measures
▪ The network architecture has a hierarchical structure of security levels, and levels that need
to be separated for security reasons are divided into segments by firewall and DMZ.
▪ The control network is completely separated into a segment for the control system and one
for the field wireless network.
▪ A switch is installed between YFGW710 and the PC to perform access control.
▪ A firewall is installed and IP-VPN is constructed for the segment that connects the Wide
Area Universal Field Network both on the system and YFGW710 sides.
▪ The IT security settings for Yokogawa system products are applied to all the PCs.
n Additional Measures to Further Increase Security
▪ The same security level is separated into a control system network and a field wireless net-
work, and a firewall is installed between the two networks. (Horizontal direction)
▪ A firewall is installed between all the hierarchical layers. (Vertical direction)
▪ The server and the client do not coexist on the same PC, but exist separately on different
PCs.
▪ PRM field communication servers for CENTUM and the field wireless network exist sepa-
rately on different PCs.
▪ Field Wireless Configurator and Field Wireless Management Tool also exist separately on
different PCs.
