The new security update for STW's ESX.4ct compact controller takes the controller to the next level of manipulation protection. The update is one of several measures that STW is already taking today to meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act, which comes into force in 2027.
STW is working intensively and sustainably on the security challenges of the future. From 2027, the Cyber Resilience Act will require all manufacturers of products with digital components along the entire supply and production chain to ensure the cybersecurity of their products and to close any security gaps that arise throughout the entire lifecycle.
STW already uses intelligent mechanisms and tools to ensure that all potential security vulnerabilities are detected and eliminated on a daily basis, and therefore already largely meets the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act.
In addition, STW's 4th generation mobile controllers will receive regular security updates as needed. Following this update, the entry-level ESX.4ct will support secure boot and secure firmware and software updates. By comparing different security keys, the controller can ensure that data records have not been tampered with and that only authorized persons can make changes to the firmware. STW has already announced further security updates with additional features.
The ESX.4ct compact controller from STW offers developers of mobile machines a 300 MHz Infineon Aurix microcontroller, up to 3 CAN interfaces with ISOBUS and CAN FD support, Bluetooth connectivity and an integrated 6-axis tilt sensor with gyroscope. The controller can be programmed in C/C++, logi.CAD 3 (IEC6131-3) or MATLAB/Simulink. Typical applications can be found in compact machines such as mini excavators or as an auxiliary controller for the automation of subsystems or driver assistance systems.
