Hello JC, I'm sorry. Siemens doesn't secure the CPU's mode selector switch anymore (Used to be secured with a key). I've seen it once 3 years ago in a PCS7 system where the selector switch was covered by a Siemens piece of plastic (Same color as memory card) but I couldn't find any data regarding this plastic cover. Anyhow it was not much security (Maybe that's why I can't find it anymore). If it's important to secure access to CPU's rack then you better use a panel security lock. Sometimes we do that with server panels but you could also do it with CPU's panel. You will just have to ask you panel's manufacturer for this security lock (Sample). Best regards, H-H

HelloTechand, 1st You better make sure that you will have customers. FYI, I asked my PCS7 colleague and he said this cover used to come only with pre assembled PCS7 bundles. This cover was fixed to the selector keys of both CPU and PS with a tiny Allen screw. I personally guess it was just to protect the selector switches during shipment. I don't think this piece will be available anymore because all new PCS7 bundles are based on S7-410H which doesn't have a mode selector switch. Maybe, you can ask your local Siemens office if they have some of these plastic cover before you start your investment. Best regards, H-H
