Compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation
Siemens observes standard data protection principles, in particular the data minimization rules (privacy by design).
For this product, this means:
The product does not process or store any personal data, only technical function data (e.g. time stamps). If the user links this data with other data (e.g. shift plans) or if he/she stores person-related data on the same data medium (e.g. hard disk), thus personalizing this data, he/she must ensure compliance with the applicable data protection stipulations.
Fundamental safety instructions
General safety instructions
WARNING
Danger to life if the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed If the safety instructions and residual risks in the associated hardware documentation are not observed, accidents involving severe injuries or death can occur.
- Observe the safety instructions given in the hardware documentation.
- Consider the residual risks for the risk evaluation.
WARNING
Malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameter settings
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn can lead to injuries or death.
- Protect the parameterization against unauthorized access.
- Handle possible malfunctions by taking suitable measures, e.g. emergency stop or emergency off.
Warranty and liability for application examples
Application examples are not binding and do not claim to be complete regarding configuration, equipment, or any eventuality which may arise. Application examples do not represent customer-specific solutions, but merely serve to provide assistance with typical tasks. As the user you yourself are responsible for ensuring that the products described are operated correctly. Application examples do not relieve you of your responsibility for safe handling when using, installing, operating and maintaining the equipment.
Cybersecurity information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks. In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial cybersecurity concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial cybersecurity measures that may be implemented, please visit https://www.siemens.com/cybersecurity-industry. Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used.
Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats. To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Cybersecurity RSS Feed under https://new.siemens.com/cert .

WARNING
Unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation Software manipulations, e.g. viruses, Trojans, or worms, can cause unsafe operating states in your system that may lead to death, serious injury, and property damage.
- Keep the software up to date.
- Incorporate the automation and drive components into a state-of-the-art, integrated industrial cybersecurity concept for the installation or machine.
- Make sure that you include all installed products in the integrated industrial cybersecurity concept.
- Protect files stored on exchangeable storage media from malicious software by with suitable protection measures, e.g. virus scanners.
- Carefully check all cybersecurity-related settings once commissioning has been completed.
Description
ACM Console consists of the following:
- Real time dashboard
The dashboard mirrors the ACM real time dashboard on the machine. - Historical data analysis
On this page users can review data recorded by ACM applications on the machine within a selected time range. By default, users can review data up to 30 days in the past. - Program management
On this page users can view and/or change ACM operation settings for any program that ACM applications has recorded reference data.
Real time dashboard
Description
The real time dashboard mirrors the dashboard on the machine. Therefore, an operator next to the machine and a remote user with ACM Console open in his web browser can see the same ACM information in real time.
Historical data analysis
On this page users can select any user-defined time range to review ACM data. 
The following status information is displayed:
- ACM status
- feed override
- load graphs
In addition the page displays all programs and operations that ACM application on the machine has recorded data for in training mode, controlled via “Adaptive Control”, or monitored via “Tool Monitor” and “Tool Life Time Monitor”.
Note
Dynamic list of programs
The list of programs contains only programs that were run within the selected time range.
KPI value calculation
The KPI values are calculated for the selected time range. If the program, e.g. “Adaptive Control”, on which KPI calculation is based was disabled during the selected time range, the corresponding KPI, e.g. “Time saved”, shows the value “0”.
Data export
For offline processing or upload into 3rd party applications users can export data to a CSV file. Exported data corresponds to the selected time range.
Programs management
On this page users can change the state and ACM operation settings for any program for which ACM application on the machine has recorded reference data.
Note
Changing operation settings
Changing operation settings is only possible if the machine is connected and ACM is running. If the machine is powered down, attempts to change setting will result in an error.
Once a program has been selected, the lifetime KPIs of the selected program are displayed on the top of the page.
Changes in the state or operation settings of any program will take effect when the program is activated the next time.
