Fernwartungsplattform

COMBIVIS connect

COMBIVIS connect ist eine Softwareplattform für die Remote-Unterstützung. Sie erlaubt den Fernzugriff auf die weltweit installierten Systeme und Maschinen, mit dem großen Vorteil, dass auf alle Daten und Programme zugegriffen werden kann. Vom heimischen Büro aus kann so gearbeitet werden, als ob man vor Ort an der Maschine stehen würde. Damit entfallen Reisen und Reisekosten. Mit ihr lässt sich die Automatisierung von Maschinen und Anlagen aus der Ferne überwachen und steuern. Die sichere Fernwartungsplattform COMBIVIS connect sorgt für optimale Servicebedingungen in einem modernen Automatisierungssystem. Über eine sichere Ende-zu-Ende Verbindung sind die Systeme einfach per Fernzugriff erreichbar.

Spezifikation der COMBIVIS connect Komponenten

CONTROL CENTER

Das Control-Center ist die „Client“-Software und wird auf dem Servicecomputer installiert. Es ermöglicht die Verwaltung von Domain-Ressourcen und registriert die Geräte in der betreffenden Domain. Es erlaubt die Verbindung zu einem bestimmten Gerät, instanziiert VPNs, Desktop-Verbindung, verwaltet virtuelle serielle Ports und ermöglicht den Dateiaustausch mit dem Remote-Explorer usw.

RUNTIME

COMBIVIS connect Runtime ist ein Dienstprogramm, das einen Remote-Zugriff auf die Geräte ermöglicht. Der Dienst läuft im Hintergrund und kann von der COMBIVIS connect Runtime Benutzeroberfläche oder der HMI-Anwendung durch Befehle in der Kommandozeile gesteuert werden. Er tritt als „Client“ gegenüber der Server-Infrastruktur auf. COMBIVIS connect Runtime ist für Embedded Systeme, „PC-basierte“ Systeme, aber auch für klassische HMI-Geräte verfügbar.

SERVER INFRASTRUKTUR

Die Server Infrastruktur unterstützt den Zugriff auf die Dienste und gewährleistet die sichere Verbindung zwischen den Systemen. Die Infrastruktur erlaubt die Authentifizierung der Control-Center-Benutzer, die Authentifizierung der Hardware-Systeme, auf denen die COMBIVIS connect Runtime installiert ist, das Wiederauffinden aller einer bestimmten Domain zugewiesenen Runtime-Systeme, das Erreichen der Remote-Geräte von Seiten der Control-Center-Clients und die Anwendung der den Gruppen und einzelnen Benutzern zugewiesenen Zugriffsrechte. Die Infrastruktur ist weltweit verteilt und bietet Redundanz- und „Fehlertoleranz“-Eigenschaften.

DOMAIN

Die Domain bildet das Unternehmenskonto ab. Dieses wird von der Infrastruktur des Servers gehostet. Aus logischer Sicht beinhaltet diese Struktur eine Gruppe von Geräten, Benutzern, Gruppen, Firewall-Regeln und Regeln, wie Berechtigungen anzuwenden sind. Die Domain gruppiert alle Remote-Geräte und gliedert sie in baumartig organisierten Ordnern. Zudem ist durch sie die Verwaltung von Zugriffsrechten für Benutzer möglich - keine Begrenzung der Anzahl an Usern und Geräten innerhalb einer Domäne.

Features COMBIVIS connect

Sicher geschütztes VPN

Die COMBIVIS connect Runtime enthält einen VPN-Server, der Remote-Verbindungen von Control-Center-Clients akzeptiert. Der COMBIVIS connect VPN arbeitet auf Level 2 (Data Link) und benötigt keine zusätzlichen Routingregeln. Remote-Geräte im Feld müssen nicht ihr Gateway ändern, um per Fernzugriff erreicht zu werden.

Das VPN stellt eine virtuelle Datenverbindung zwischen dem auf dem Leitstellenrechner installierten, virtuellen Netzwerkadapter und einer oder mehreren Netzwerkschnittstellen her, die auf dem Runtime-Gerät vorhanden sind und zuvor so konfiguriert wurden, dass sie über VPN erreichbar sind.

 

Zertifizierte Sicherheit

Bei COMBIVIS connect stehen Datenschutz und Datensicherheit an erster Stelle. Um dies zu unterstreichen, wurden die COMBIVIS connect Access Server, die C6 Router, das Control Center, sowie alle Runtimes ab Version 8 nach der internationalen Norm- IEC 62443- für Industrielle Kommunikationsnetze und IT-Sicherheit für Netze und Systeme zertifiziert. 

Kompatibilität zu vorhandenen Firewalls

COMBIVIS connect Control Center- und COMBIVIS connect Runtime-Verbindung sind als ausgehende Verbindungen konfiguriert, die als sicher und daher von Firewall-Richtlinien zulässig anerkannt sind.

Integrierte COMBIVIS connect Firewall

Die integrierte Firewall ermöglicht die Definition von Richtlinien für den VPN-Verkehr auf einfache Art und Weise, um die Sicherheit zu erhöhen und den Datenverkehr zwischen Runtime und Control-Center zu reduzieren. Die Konfiguration ähnelt dem der kommerziellen Firewall; der erste Schritt ist die Richtliniendefinition, während der letzte Schritt die Richtlinienanwendung ist. COMBIVIS connect verfügt über eine umfangreiche vordefinierte Richtlinienbibliothek, die auf Serverebene verfügbar ist und gepflegt wird. Sie kann innerhalb der Domain angewendet werden.

 

 

Multi Client

Die COMBIVIS connect Runtime lässt es zu, dass mit mehreren Verbindungen gleichzeitig auf ein entferntes System zugegriffen werden kann. 

Update-Funktion

Die neue Update-Funktion ermöglicht die Runtime der Geräte – ohne einen zeitintensiven Serviceeinsatz – bequem per Fernwartung zu aktualisieren. Bestehende Gerätegruppen können so direkt von aktualisierten Sicherheitsfunktionen profitieren. 
Der System-Administrator hat die volle Kontrolle über alle Softwareupdates. Gerät, Update-Typ und Zeitpunkt können individuell geplant werden. So können zur Arbeitszeit bereits relevante Updates voraktiviert werden, um diese z.B. während einer Produktionspause am Wochenende einzuspielen. 

Audit der Zugriffsaktivitäten

COMBIVIS connect erfasst und speichert alle entfernten Zugriffsaktivitäten auf der jeweiligen Domain. Netzwerkadministratoren haben den vollen Überblick, wer wie lange an einem Projekt gearbeitet hat. Der daraus ablesbare zeitliche Aufwand lässt sich zum Beispiel für die spätere Rechnungsstellung eines After-Sales-Services nutzen. 

Die genaue Zusammenfassung durchgeführter Aufträge durch Angabe von Bediener, Remote-PC und Verbindungszeit gibt einen transparenten Tätigkeitsnachweis für Ihren Endkunden.

Verwaltungs- / Zugangsberechtigung

Mit COMBIVIS connect lässt sich eine unbegrenzte Anzahl von Benutzern, Benutzergruppen und Geräten mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Regeln für den Zugang definieren. Berechtigungen sind dabei vom Ordner bis hin zum einzelnen Gerät flexibel konfigurierbar. 

  • Ordner- und Benutzermanagement durch Administrator 
  • Device Installer für die Einbindung neuer Geräte in die Domain 
  • Network Security zur Konfiguration eigener Firewall–Regeln 
  • Device-Access als Grundlage für Remote-Sitzungen 

Die Vorteile: 

  • Benutzer können ihre eigene Organisationsstruktur erstellen und verwalten 
  • Flexible und kontrollierte Möglichkeit, alle Kunden weltweit zu erreichen 
  • Ausschließlich berechtigtes Personal erhält den gesicherten und strukturierten Zugriff auf entfernte Geräte 
     

Sichere VPN Verbindung

COMBIVIS connect installiert automatisch einen VPN-Adapter auf dem Control Center PC. Der virtuelle Ethernet-Adapter arbeitet als VPN-Client und erhält vom entfernten Gerät (VPN-Server) eine IP-Adresse aus dem vorhandenen VPN-Netzwerk. Es herrscht eine direkte „End-To-End“-Verbindung zwischen den Kommunikationspartnern. 

 

Virtuelle serielle Verbindung

COMBIVIS connect installiert automatisch einen virtuellen seriellen Adapter auf dem Control Center PC. Der virtuelle serielle Port des Control Center PCs lässt sich auf einen physikalisch vorhandenen Port des entfernten Gerätes mappen. Der serielle Durchreichmodus gibt Gelegenheit zur seriellen Kommunikation via RS232, RS422, RS485 oder MPI. 

Chat zwischen lokalen und entfernten PCs

Damit sich wichtige Informationen in einem Projekt schnell austauschen lassen, hat KEB die Fernwartungslösung mit einer Chat-Funktion ausgestattet. Sie ermöglicht die unmittelbare Kommunikation da der Mitarbeiter am CONTROL Center direkt über das Fernwartungsnetzwerk mit dem Remote-Techniker vor Ort im Live-Chat verbunden ist. 

 

 

Funktion Remote Desktop

Die Control Center Software bietet eine Remote-Funktion, mit der sich Desktops fernzuwartender Geräte, auf denen COMBIVIS connect installiert ist, bedienen lassen – ohne zusätzliche Dienste oder Hilfsprogramme zu installieren.

Geräteverwaltung

C6 IPCs und C6 HMIs mit COMBIVIS connect Runtime lassen sich anhand ihrer ID und eines Passworts in eine Domain einbinden und mit ihrer Seriennummer registrieren. Damit werden die Registrierungen unter weiteren Domains ausgeschlossen. Die Zugriffsregeln reichen bis in die Geräteebene hinein. 

Datenaustausch mit entfernten Geräten

Mit dem Feature „Explorer“ können Sie Dateien vom und zum Remote-Gerät über eine Benutzeroberfläche wie beim Windows Explorer kopieren. Es wird ein Fenster mit zwei Bereichen dargestellt: Der linke Bereich zeigt die Dateien des lokalen Computers, der rechte Bereich die Übersicht des Remote-Geräts an. Es ist möglich, Dateien von Remote-Geräten zu lokalen Computern oder umgekehrt zu kopieren, indem Sie einfach die Dateien auswählen und auf „Senden“ oder „Empfangen“ klicken.
