I just want to discuss with all my friends, is it possible to realize cyber security tests in RT-BOX? Although RS-232 communication seems to be a must for the test.

Hi there, the question you’re proposing is somewhat vague. Please post a bit more about what you are trying to accomplish.

If using the RT Box as a hardware-in-the-loop platform with external controllers, then security tests could be implemented on a separate piece of hardware. The RT Box itself likely does not have the functionality to implement any of the cyber-security testing itself.

One side note, the RT Box 2/3 has an RS-232 port and will eventually have firmware supporting this communication interface.
