A vulnerability in the Wibu CodeMeter Runtime, which is part of the installation packages of several Festo products, was found.

An attacker exploiting the vulnerability in WIBU CodeMeter Runtime in server mode could gain full access to the affected server via network access without any user interaction. This could lead to remote code execution and escalation of privileges giving full admin access on the host system for an already authenticated user (logged in locally to the PC).

Incomplete Festo product documentation of remote accessible functions and their required IP ports. Depending on the product a description of the supported features can be found in the product documentation to some extent.

Festo developed the products according to the respective state of the art. As a result, the protocols used no longer fully meet today's security requirements. The products are designed and developed for use in sealed-off (industrial) networks. If the network is not adequately sealed off, unauthorized access to the product can cause damage or malfunctions, particularly Denial of Service (DoS) or loss of integrity.

The following documentation describes how a CMMT receives a value over an “R-Variable” from the Sinumerik control. That value is used as set position.

When 2 physical axes are rigidly coupled together by the load or other means (examples: gantry system X/X' coupled by a Y-Axis or 2 x ESBF rods attached), then it is necessary to synchronise/Gear these axes with an electronic alignment (Master to Slave).

This application note discusses the required settings to control the 2 x parallel linear axes in Synchronous Position Absolute mode using CMMT-AS-xx controllers.

It also discusses ways to implement monitoring of Slave faults and
Error situations based on the “Cross wire monitoring”

Any PLC could be used for the control. Rockwell is just an example.

When 2 physical axis of are mechanically connected together by the

load or other means (examples: gantry system X/X' coupled by a YAxis
or 2 x ESBF rods attached), then it is necessary to synchronise
these axis with an electronic alignment (Master to Slave).
This application note discusses the required settings to control the 2 x
parallel linear axis in Synchronous Position Relative1 mode using
CMMT-AS-xx controllers.

This Application Note describes how to configure and run the CMMT-AS-xx with Multiturn Motor and 2nd incremental encoder by using the homing method 'zero pulse'. The 2nd incremental encoder is increasing the absolute accuracy of the linear axis (direct position measurement) and is providing the zero pulse for the homing. The internal multiturn motor encoder gives the possibility to detect the defined and fixed zero pulse for the homing process of the 2nd incremental encoder.
With this strategy we have an accurate reference point and do not need any HWlimit switches, HW-reference switches or any mechanical stops for the needed homing process.
