Configuring PLC Registry

To configure the PLC Registry:

1. In the Kaspersky Security Center window, select the Administration Server <server name>.
2. Open the Advanced child node.
3. In the Storages folder of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree, select the Hardware subfolder.
4. In the workspace of the Hardware folder, click the Additional actions button and select Open PLC Registry in the drop-down list.

   The PLC Registry management window opens.

5. To add a new configuration manually, click the Add button.

   The PLC settings window opens.

6. In the General Settings block:
   1. In the Name field enter the PLC name.
   2. In the PLC type drop-down list select PLC type.
      

      A drop-down list of available PLC types for which data related to projects may be received. The PLC type represents the model and series provided by a PLC manufacturer.

   3. In the Description field enter description.
      

      A field for entering a description for each selected PLC type. The application links the specified description to each new version of PLC firmware obtained while running the PLC Project Investigation task.

   4. In the Wait for connection field specify the wait time value (in seconds).
7. In the Connection settings block enter the following information:
   1. Specify IP address, Port, Rack number and Slot number.
   2. To protect a connection with a PLC, select the Apply password check box and enter your password in the field below.
      

      The check box enables or disables the use of a password when connecting to a PLC.

      If the check box is selected, the application will use the password you indicated when connecting to the PLC to query it.

      If the check box is cleared, the application will connect to the PLC without the use of a password.

      By default, the check box is cleared.

      The check box will not assign a new password to connect to the PLC. The password must be set up on the side of the PLC.

   3. Clear or select the Read data blocks check box.
      

      The check box enables or disables the reading of PLC project data blocks.

      If the check box is selected, the application will take into account the data blocks when calculating the PLC project checksum. It is recommended to select the check box if data blocks contain only statistical values in order to improve the scanning security level.

      If the check box is cleared, the application will not take into account the data blocks. It is recommended not to select the check box if data blocks contain dynamic values to prevent false positives in a PLC Project Integrity Check task, while the selected PLC project is compared with a reference project.

      By default, the check box is cleared.

8. Click the OK button.
9. You can also import and export an XML file with PLC configurations by clicking the corresponding buttons in the PLC Project configurations registry window.
10. To change the configuration settings, click the Modify button.

    When you modify the PLC configuration in the PLC Registry, the results of the PLC Project Integrity Check task are affected. You need to run the PLC Project Investigation task to get the updated data and then run the PLC Project Integrity Check again to get actual results.

11. Click the Remove button, if you do not use the PLC Project configuration any more.

    When the PLC project is deleted from the PLC Registry, it becomes unavailable for further investigation and integrity check.

12. Use the Filter field to review the PLC configurations with the required values.

    You cannot use filtering by PLC Registry ID value.

13. You can also select the Only show PLC that can be protected by Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes check box if you don't need a combined list of PLC configurations for all Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity applications.
14. Click the Close button.

The PLC Registry will be saved.
