Product Overview 1
What is SICAM PAS CC?

SICAM PAS CC is the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for the SICAM PAS power automation
system.
SICAM PAS CC comprises
the SIMATIC WinCC process visualization system and
the SICAM PAS CC components.
SIMATIC WinCC
SIMATIC WinCC provides standard function modules for the display of graphic diagrams and
views for alarming, archiving and logging. Based on its powerful process interface, fast display
refresh rates and safe data archiving functions, it provides for high availability.
SICAM PAS CC components

SICAM PAS CC comprises the following components:
the SICAM PAS graphic object library,
the alarm logging extension,

the SICAM PAS Wizard,
the SICAM functions,
the SICAM PAS normalization DLL,

the SICAM PAS channel DLL,
SICAM Valpro (evaluation of archives for measured and metered values) and
SICAM Recpro (fault-record evaluation)
SICAM PAS graphic object library

The SICAM PAS graphic object library includes objects for the representation of typical
substation control and protection equipment (e. g. switchgears). These graphic objects are used
for the creation of station diagrams.
The graphic object library holds several typical graphic objects for each piece of substation
control and protection equipment.
Graphic objects can be dragged and dropped from the library to a station diagram.
They already include dynamic display properties. For example, a circuit breaker provides all
dynamic features required for the representation of the process states ON, OFF, Disturbed, Not
Topical, PAS not OK, Bay Blocking, Substituted and Telecontrol Blocking.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Product Overview
Alarm logging extension

The alarm logging extension ensures that data is logged and archived in correct chronological
order.
The SICAM PAS normalization DLL evaluates the data and assigns it related items of process
information.
In order to assign process information, the normalization DLL accesses the SIMATIC WinCC
text library.
Texts can be customized in the text library to meet individual requirements.
SICAM PAS Wizard

The SICAM PAS Wizard supports you in the creation of a new PAS project or in updating an
already existing project.
The following tasks can be performed with the SICAM PAS Wizard:
Creating SICAM PAS-specific structure types
You can create the structure types required for structured tags in a SICAM PAS system.
These structure types are necessary for data exchange with SICAM SAS.
Importing tags from SICAM PAS
Information from SICAM PAS is transferred to SICAM PAS CC.

This enables you to visualize SICAM PAS information under SICAM PAS CC, i. e. for use in
process diagrams.
Creating administrative tags for SICAM PAS.
Creating the SICAM PAS-specific alarm logging system
Create an alarm logging system under SICAM PAS CC which meets the requirements of
SICAM PAS.
The SICAM PAS graphic object library holds SICAM-specific objects for:
the event list
the warning message list

the protection message list
These SICAM-specific lists are stored in the graphic object library.

You can import alarms from SICAM PAS into this alarm logging system.
Importing alarms/messages from SICAM PAS
Alarms/messages from SICAM PAS are transferred to SICAM PAS CC.

Thus, alarms from SICAM PAS can be shown under SICAM PAS CC in the alarm logging
system.
Importing the SICAM PAS graphic object library into the project
Load the SICAM PAS graphic object library into your current project.
Use the graphic object library for visualizing station diagrams under SICAM PAS CC.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Product Overview
Creating measured-value and metered-value archives for SICAM PAS process data
Create an archiving system under SICAM PAS CC.

The SICAM PAS CC archiving system comprises:
a measured-value archive and
a metered-value archive
You can import metered-value tags and measured-value tags from SICAM PAS into this
archiving system.
SICAM functions
The SICAM functions (C scripts) complement the library of SIMATIC WinCC functions. They are
available as project-specific functions in the corresponding folders.
Use the SICAM functions in station diagrams. For example, you can execute commands via
these actions.
SICAM Valpro
SICAM Valpro has been designed for the processing, display and printing of archived measured
and metered values.
SICAM Valpro interacts with the SICAM PAS CC archiving system.
SICAM Valpro can be used independently of SICAM PAS CC.
SICAM Valpro is described in a separate manual (refer to SICAM, Manual Measured/Metered
Value Processing Utility SICAM Valpro, /6/).
SICAM Recpro
The SICAM Recpro component of SICAM PAS CC serves for the management, archiving and
display of fault records.
SICAM Recpro can be used independently of SICAM PAS CC.
SICAM Recpro is described in a separate manual (refer to SICAM, Manual Fault Record
Processing Utility SICAM PAS Recpro, /7/).
Redundant SICAM PAS CC system

To provide fail safety, SICAM PAS CC can be implemented in double/redundant configuration.
If one of the two servers fails, the client computers automatically switch over from the failed
server to the active server. Based on this concept, proper process monitoring and operation is
always ensured.

3.2.4 Starting the SICAM PAS Wizard
Initializing the project

The SICAM PAS Wizard supports you in initializing your WinCC project. It creates a new station
in the project or updates an existing station. To do this, it performs the following tasks:
Creating SICAM PAS-specific structure tags
Importing tags from SICAM PAS
Creating administrative tags for the SICAM PAS system
Creating the SICAM PAS-specific alarm system
Importing alarm messages from SICAM PAS
Importing the SICAM PAS graphic object library into the project
Creating measured-value and metered-value archives for SICAM PAS process data
Creating the SICAM PAS-specific text library
Creating structure tags

These structure tags are required to exchange data with SICAM PAS. They include the complete
structure of a structured tag in SICAM PAS CC.
The different tags are assigned individual structure tags (see Appendix A).
Note
The structure types of existing projects are not automatically modified for version V6.00. In order
to be able to use the Substitute function, new structure types are required.
To create new structure types:
Delete the process tags using the SICAM PAS Wizard.
Delete the structure types manually.
Import the process tags using the SICAM PAS Wizard.
The new structure types are created during this process.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Importing tags
The SICAM PAS Wizard imports the tags from a file provided by SICAM PAS. This file has the
extension PXD (e. g. Station1.PXD).
The tags are automatically assigned to the corresponding structure type. Each tag includes
several elements. Examples of elements in monitoring direction:
the current process value
the status (e. g. not updated, invalid, overflow)
the tag type
the cause (e. g. spontaneous, periodic, polled)
the additional cause and
the counters which are counted up upon a tag change
The name of the tag imported into SIMATIC WinCC corresponds to the name specified in
SICAM PAS for the tag management of SICAM PAS CC. Special characters are already
replaced by PAS UI-Configuration. Remaining tags will replaced by the SICAM PAS Wizard
during the import process (see Appendix B).
Additionally, tags are structured in groups. The name of a group corresponds to the hierarchical
name without considering the last hierarchical level.
Creating administrative tags

The SICAM PAS Wizard creates internal and external SICAM PAS CC tags. Internal tags are
stored in a SICAMAdmin group. External tags are stored in a channel-specific
SICAMAdmin_xxx group.
Creating an alarm logging system

The SICAM PAS Wizard allows you to create an alarm system under SICAM PAS CC that
meets the requirements of a SICAM PAS system.
The alarm logging system consists of alarm message blocks, classes, alarm sequence logs and
texts. The related SICAM-specific objects for
event list
warning message list
protection message list

can be viewed in the Graphics Designer under View > Library > Project Library >
Alarm Logging Templates > PAS CC V6.x.
Importing alarm messages

The SICAM PAS Wizard imports alarm messages from the PXD file.
The name of the alarm imported into SICAM PAS CC corresponds to the name configured in
PAS UI-Configuration.
Additionally, each imported alarm has a unique number. The SICAM PAS normalization DLL is
assigned, the value text group 0 is assigned, the specific properties are defined, and the
message class SICAM PAS Event or SICAM PAS Event DM/WM/RM is assigned.
The message number is composed of the project ID * 10,000,000 and the value ID.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Importing the graphic object library

The SICAM PAS Wizard loads the SICAM PAS graphic object library into the current project.
When importing the graphic object library, administrative tags are created, and the SICAM
functions (C scripts) are copied into the project.
Creating an archiving system

Process data from SICAM PAS can be archived in this archiving system.
The SICAM PAS archiving system comprises:
a process value archive for measured values
a process value archive for metered values
The archives are created on the hard disk of the PC on which SICAM PAS CC is installed. Their
size is only limited by the capacity of the hard disk.
Starting the PAS Wizard

Start the SICAM PAS Wizard under SICAM PAS CC in the WinCC Explorer.
To start the SICAM PAS Wizard:
In the WinCC Explorer, double-click on SICAM PAS Wizard.

If you do not want to create a new station, but update an existing station, proceed as follows:
Select existing station and
then select a station from the list.
To perform an update, the import file must be from the same SICAM PAS project and should
therefore have the same file name.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Selecting parameters
Select the desired special-character replacement from the drop-down list box. This
selection ensures that the SICAM PAS Wizard replaces those special characters in tag
names which are incompatible with SICAM PAS CC by SICAM PAS CC-compatible
characters.
Note
When editing old projects, you must select an option for the replacement of special characters
which complies with the origin of the diagrams used in the project.
If special characters are replaced incorrectly, different tag names can be created, which could
possibly cause problems concerning interconnections in these diagrams.

3.3 Creating a Control Diagram
Purpose
A control diagram shows details regarding the station sections to be controlled and the display
objects together with their respective functions for color changes or blinking, etc.
Proceed as follows to execute a configured switching action:
Select a switch
Click on the switch icon to open the dialog for selecting the switching direction.
Select the switching direction
To select the switching direction, click on the corresponding button in the dialog in order to
create the command and to display the buttons for issuing or canceling the command.
Issue the command
Click the Acknowledge button in the dialog to issue the command.
The dialog closes if no additional operator action is performed within 30 seconds after clicking
on a switch object.
Besides the single-step switching operation described above, two-step and synchronized
switching operations are also possible (refer to Section 4.3).
The different states of a switch are indicated by small, colored rectangles. A specific color can
be selected for the following states:
Not topical
PAS not OK
Bay blocking
Substituted
Telecontrol blocking
The switch object blinks spontaneously if the value of the assigned tag changes and if
Spontaneous was entered as cause.
When the command is issued, the switch object starts to blink in the set status as soon as the
target switching direction (ON or OFF) has been selected. It stops blinking when the command
has been executed completely or aborted.
In the target status, the blinking frequency is half the frequency for a spontaneous cause.
Switching device objects

Use IndustrialX Controls from the SICAM PAS graphic object library as circuit breaker or
disconnector objects. Since the above-mentioned functions are already integrated in these
controls, you can create a fully functional user interface within a short time.
Ground disconnectors and feeders

To perform the topological coloring, use IndustrialX Controls from the SICAM PAS graphic
object library as ground disconnectors/feeders.

Overview
The SICAM PAS graphic object library includes graphic objects for the representation of typical
substation control and protection equipment (e. g. switchgears, displays). Additionally,
graphic objects are available for topological coloring. You can use these graphic objects to
create station diagrams in the Graphics Designer.

Graphic Objects
4.1 Design of Graphic Objects
The SICAM PAS graphic object library holds graphic objects for the representation of the
components of a power network. These objects are required for the creation of station diagrams.
IndustrialX Controls are a special type of graphic object.
4.1.1 SICAM PAS Graphic Objects
Design
A SICAM PAS graphic object serves for the graphical representation of electrical equipment
using dynamic display features.
Graphical representation
The graphical representation of the SICAM PAS graphic objects (e. g. circuit breakers) is
realized according to the international standards ANSI/IEEE 315 1975 (R1995) and
ANSI/IEEE 315A 1986 (R1995).
The graphic object library holds several typical graphic objects for each element. The objects can
be shown in different line widths.
Dynamic display properties

Some graphic objects already include dynamic display properties.
With these dynamic properties, you can visualize the different states of a system in control and
monitoring direction.
The typical dynamic display properties of a graphic object are defined by default. Finally, you
only have to link the dynamic properties to the process via tags.
There are three different ways to set the parameters for dynamic display properties:
via the Dynamic dialog
via a C action or
via a VBS action (Visual Basic action)
Dynamic dialog
In the Dynamic dialog, you can specify the dynamic display properties and thus the process
interfacing (referred to as "tag connection").
To do this, you insert the available dynamic display properties into a predefined frame.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Graphic Objects
C action
The C action provides more flexibility in the definition of dynamic display properties than the
Dynamic dialog.
You can use all functions provided by SIMATIC WinCC, including SICAM PAS processing
functions.
Graphic object library

In the SICAM PAS graphic object library, some dynamic display properties of graphic objects are
defined via the Dynamic dialog; others are defined via the C action. You can use the
corresponding graphic objects alternatively.
4.1.2 IndustrialX Controls
Circuit breakers/disconnectors, feeders, ground disconnectors, connectors, nodes and the bay
overview are implemented as IndustrialX Controls.
Design
An IndustrialX Control is a Windows control element whose properties (e. g. graphical
representation, tag connection) can be defined via a dialog.
An IndustrialX Control (e. g. a circuit breaker) can be graphically represented in various different
manners. The shape, line width and orientation of the graphic object can be specified by the
user.
The colors for the representation of the value and the status are selectable. Furthermore, the
graphic object can be designed individually.
Process interfacing
The tag connection of the IndustrialX Controls is performed in a tag selection dialog window. The
time interval of the update cycle is adjustable.
Synchronized switching
Synchronized switching is possible, provided that the bay device supports this function.
Select one of the protocols from the drop-down list box Synchronization Model and specify the
tags.
This type of synchronization is only possible if the communication protocols IEC 61850 and
SINAUT LSA ILSA are used.
Further setting options

The status display for circuit breakers and disconnectors can be shown or hidden. 3-D
representation is possible. Dialogs can be anchored at any position on the diagram.
Spontaneous blinking, setpoint blinking and SET = ACTUAL switching can be enabled. The use
of integrated switching dialogs can be disabled. Writing of command tags can also be disabled
and replaced by customer-specific actions.

4.2 Using Graphic Objects
4.2 Using Graphic Objects
To use graphic objects from the SICAM PAS graphic object library in your project, you must link
the SICAM PAS graphic object library to the project first.
Afterwards, you can position graphic objects in station diagrams, set parameters for dynamic
display properties and visualize the different states of the station.

Use the SICAM PAS Wizard to integrate the SICAM PAS graphic object library into the current
project.
Showing the graphic object library

To show the graphic object library, select View > Library. The SICAM PAS graphic objects are
available under Project Library.
Positioning graphic objects

Using the Graphics Designer of SIMATIC WinCC, you can copy graphic objects via Drag & Drop
from the library into a station diagram.
Defining graphic objects

Link graphic objects to the related process tags using the SIMATIC WinCC Graphics Designer.

Synchronized switching action

Based on the communication protocols IEC 61850 and SINAUT LSA ILSA, synchronized
switching can be performed by means of dialog extensions. The execution of the synchronized
switching action during runtime depends on the individual protocol. For this reason, a distinction
is made between these protocols in the following subsections.
Synchronized switching is supported by further communication protocols (e. g. IEC 60870-5-101
Master). In this context, however, the dialog extensions are not used. For more detailed
information, refer to the protocol descriptions.
The extended synchronization dialog is only shown if a communication protocol (not the option

4.3.10 Indirect Addressing
The description in this section applies for IndustrialX Controls (Circuit Breakers/Disconnectors
and Bay Overview) in SICAM PAS CC V5.0 or later versions.
Indirect Addressing
Indirect addressing can be used with the attributes tagname, tagnameCMD, tagnameACK,
tagnameSync and tagnameSyncCmd.
The term "indirect addressing" signifies that the name of the SICAM tag is transferred in a string
tag.
If the first character of a tag name is a & (e. g. &TagnamePlaceholder), the control interprets the
tag as string tag for indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing can be specified in the
Object Properties dialog or in the
SICAM PAS CC CB/DIS Properties dialog.
To specify indirect addressing in the Object Properties dialog:

Enter the name of the string tag in the Static column.
pascc516.tif

To define indirect addressing in the SICAM PAS CC CB/DIS Properties dialog:

Enter the names of the string tags in the input boxes for the tag names in the Tag
Connection tab card.
pascc517.tif
Figure 4-25 Properties of SICAM PAS CC CB/DIS, defining indirect addressing
Note
In the SICAM PAS CC CB/DIS Properties dialog, the Browse button cannot be used, as
string tags are filtered in the selection dialog that opens.
The indirect addressing is evaluated upon the start of the IndustrialX Control. The string tag
must therefore include the name of the SICAM tag before the WinCC diagram is opened.

4.3.11 Operation via Keyboard
The graphic objects Circuit Breaker/Disconnector can be operated via the mouse or using the
keyboard.
To initiate a switching action using the keyboard, buttons must be inserted into the display, and
a hotkey must be configured for each button.
The switching action is initiated by pressing the configured key or key combination during
runtime. Additionally, a user right can be assigned for the operation of the button.
The runtime dialogs of controls are not displayed for operation via keyboard/buttons.
An ordinary PC keyboard or a special function keyboard can be used. To use a function
keyboard, the PC keyboard must be removed from the PC and the function keyboard must be
plugged instead.
Configuring a button
A specific button for each action must be inserted into the diagram (object palette > Windows
object). The Button Configuration dialog opens as soon as the button has been inserted.

Defining a C script
In order to be able to initiate an action via a button for Circuit Breaker/Disconnector, a C script
has to be defined. When clicking on the button, the C script sets the attribute CommandID of the
control to the defined value.
The following table provides a list of all permissible integer values and their meaning.
Table 4-9 Attribut CommandID
Value Constant Action of the control
0 COMMANDID_NOTHING No action
1 COMMANDID_CANCEL Cancel action
2 COMMANDID_SELECT_ON Preselect switch position ON
3 COMMANDID_SELECT_OFF Preselect switch position OFF
4 COMMANDID_EXECUTE Enable switching action
5 COMMANDID_SINGLEACK Acknowledge blinking for the selected switch
6 COMMANDID_MULTIACK Acknowledge blinking for a group

(refer to Section 4.3.2)
Note
Since synchronized switching actions are very complex, control via buttons/the keyboard is
not supported.
The following example illustrates how the select command for ON can be initiated for the control
CB1.
Open the Object Properties of the button.
In the Properties tag, select Font.
Next, enter CB1 ON for the Text attribute.

4.3.12 Controlling Runtime Dialogs for Controls
Runtime dialogs can be shown individually using an additional function. Depending on specific
conditions, a runtime dialog can be shown or hidden. Some additional dialog windows, e. g. for
user authentication, can pop up between the selection of the switch and the execution of the
command.
A runtime dialog can be shown due to a value change of the attribute
CommandID (in the object properties of the control). The value of the attribute can be modified
by means of a C script.

4.3.13 Response to the Change of the CommandID Attribute
As soon as a control has processed the value change of the CommandID attribute, it transmits
a CommandResponse event. The event includes three parameters which provide information
about the processed action.
The CommandResponse function in the C script has the following structure:
void CommandResponse(char* lpszDiagramName, char* lpszObjectName,
long CommandID,
long ResponseID,
char* msg)
{
...
}
The parameters lpszDisplayName and lpszObjectName are default parameters of WinCC and
are not described in this section.
The CommandID parameter includes the value of the CommandID attribute which has
triggered the action. The value of the ResponseID parameter describes the result of the action.
In case of error, the msg parameter includes an error description in text form.
The following table provides a list of the ResponseIDs and their meanings.

4.6 Topological Coloring
Overview
Using topological coloring, the states of a power network can be represented by means of
different colors in SICAM PAS CC. All adjacent graphic objects of a feeder are assigned the
same color. The uniform color assignment is interrupted if a control element is open.
In terms of topological coloring, a power network consists of lines (connectors), transformers,
switches and further objects. To be able to forward information, the network components must
be interconnected through their connecting points. Each connecting point consists of one input
and one output.
Connector Connector

Node Connector
Disconnector

Incoming information is forwarded to the entire network and output via open connecting points.
This mechanism works in any direction.
The following graphic objects support topological coloring:

Circuit breakers and disconnectors
Bay overview
Feeders, ground disconnectors and connectors

Connectors and nodes
Connectors in the SICAM graphic object library support the same functions as connectors in
the SIMATIC WinCC object palette.
The graphic objects Feeder, Ground Disconnector, Connector and Node are available in the
Topology\PAS CC V6.x folder of the SICAM graphic object library.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007

In order to create a station diagram, you insert the controls and feeders and link them to
connectors. Run a test as soon as the diagram has been completed in order to ensure that the
diagram does not include errors. Unless errors are detected, the connection scripts for the
graphic objects are created automatically (refer to Section 4.6.4).
The color is entered as an RGB value. The above-mentioned graphic objects are implemented
as IndustrialX Controls which are able to receive and transmit the RGB value.
4.6.1 Circuit Breaker/Disconnector and Bay Overview
A closed circuit breaker/disconnector works like a connector. An incoming value is transmitted

to the output of the other connecting point.
An open circuit breaker/disconnector does not forward any value.
The value of the attribute DefaultElectricColorOFF is output when the graphic object is in the
OFF state.

4.6.2 Feeder and Ground Disconnector
The Feeder graphic object is an active component that initiates coloring in the WinCC diagram.
It transmits its value to the linked graphic objects.
Each power network in which topological coloring is to be realized must have a feeder.
The ground disconnector is a special feeder. It always transmits the RGB value for grounding
to the linked graphic objects.
As a connector, the object is passive, i. e. it only forwards RGB color information arriving at one
of the inputs to the corresponding output.

4.6.2.2 Functions of the Feeder and the Ground Disconnector
Feeder
The feeder is the source of the color assignment in a topologically colored network section. The
color of a feeder is indicated as an RGB value on its two outputs, e. g. FF0000 in hexadecimal
notation represents Red, OFF.
The feeder displays a value each time the RGB value changes. It receives this RGB value from
a connected tag. The value is shown on the two connecting points.
Each of the four possible electric states of a feeder is assigned a distinctive color. The colors are
set by default, but can also be freely selected from a color palette.
Table 4-19 Default colors
State Color
INVALID Cyan

OFF Green
ON Red
GROUND Pink
The feeder only outputs RGB values. The input value, however, can be an RGB value, a
message or a measured value.
The feeder converts messages and measured values into RGB values using a hysteresis
function.

4.6.3 Connectors and Nodes
Connectors and nodes are WinCC graphic objects.
4.6.3.1 Connector
Connectors are used to link graphic objects. A connector can be linked to a graphic object on
both ends. A connection is automatically realized when one end of a connector is located next
to a graphic object. As soon as the connection has been successfully defined, the color changes
from green to red.
For more detailed information regarding connectors, refer to the online help of the
Graphics Designer.
Connecting points
When a graphic object is moved, the linked end of the connector moves as well. The connector
itself cannot be moved when linked to a graphic object.
A connector must always be linked to a graphic object on both ends.
4.6.3.2 Node
Two connectors are linked to the Node graphic object. A node can be represented as a circle or
as a rectangle. A node can be used to link several connectors or to create a branch.
Up to four connectors can be linked to the same node.
Connector 1 Connector 2

Detailed Information Regarding SICAM PAS CC
5.1 SICAM PAS Channel DLL - Tag Management
Overview
The SICAM PAS channel DLL provides for the connection of SICAM PAS CC to the
SICAM PAS Full Server. Besides this, it controls this process data connection.
The (process) connection between SICAM PAS and SICAM PAS CC or SIMATIC WinCC is
ensured by the SICAM PAS channel DLL. The SICAM PAS channel DLL logs on to the SICAM
PAS Full Server during runtime in order to exchange process information.
pascc403.tif
Figure 5-1 SICAM PAS channel DLL in the WinCC Explorer
Performance characteristics
The SICAM PAS channel DLL has the following performance characteristics:
Efficient behavior during runtime
Time stamps from the process via raw data tags and the SICAM PAS normalization DLL
Automatic stop and start via SIMATIC WinCC and SICAM PAS Operation
Connection of different or redundant SICAM PAS projects parallel to SIMATIC WinCC with
automatic switchover in case of faults
Tasks
The SICAM PAS channel DLL performs the following tasks:
Checking the consistency of the parameter settings
Logon to the SICAM PAS Full Server

Forwarding of display and indication tags to SIMATIC WinCC
Forwarding of commands to SICAM PAS
Monitoring of the connection to the SICAM PAS Full Server

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Compatibility key
A compatibility key is used in order to ensure that the project version of SICAM PAS is
compatible with the project version of SICAM PAS CC. This code is checked by a script upon
activation of the runtime operation. If an error is detected during this check, the WinCC Runtime
is stopped and an error message is shown.
Tags
The SICAM PAS channel DLL logs on to the SICAM PAS Full Server in order to poll the required
tags. Indication tags and display tags for the representation of process diagrams are polled
during this process.
Additionally, system-internal tags (e. g. the project ID, HMI Interface ID, compatibility key) are
required from the SICAM PAS Full Server.
The distinction between a display tag and/or an indication tag is based on the specific tag
information created by the SICAM PAS Wizard during the creation of the tags. Furthermore, the
ValueID of the corresponding tags is included in this specific tag information. Via the ValueID,
the SICAM PAS channel DLL can perform an assignment between DSI tags and WinCC tags.
SIMATIC WinCC uses display tags for process visualization. The individual process
diagram determines which tags are required for this purpose. The SICAM PAS channel DLL
logs on to the SICAM PAS Full Server in order to poll the required display tags.
Unlike the display tags, the indication tags are not determined by the process diagram. The
SICAM PAS channel DLL logs on to the SICAM PAS Full Server in order to poll all indication
tags.
Licensing
With regard to the SICAM PAS channel DLL, it must be distinguished between the following two
licenses: the license for SICAM Configuration and the license for SICAM Runtime.
If no license is available for SICAM Configuration, the access to the properties of connections
and tags is blocked.
If the license for SICAM Runtime is missing, the access to the tags of the
SICAM PAS PROTOCOL SUITE is blocked.

5.2 Alarm Logging
5.2 Alarm Logging
The Alarm Logging component of SIMATIC WinCC serves as a basis for the alarm logging
system. It ensures that data is logged in the correct chronological order.
5.2.1 Alarm Logging System
The SICAM PAS alarm logging system differs from standard logging systems with regard to the
information transmitted with an alarm message.
By default, SIMATIC WinCC cyclically updates all information regarding the process state. This
mechanism is sufficient for visualization in diagrams.
Alarms, however, must not be lost and must be processed in the correct chronological order.
Raw data tag

SICAM PAS alarms are transmitted to SIMATIC WinCC as raw data tags with a time stamp and
additional values.
Normalization DLL
For the SIMATIC WinCC Alarm Logging component, a SICAM PAS normalization DLL decodes
the contents of the raw data tag. It creates a related alarm with a resolution of 1 millisecond in
the alarm logging system.
Correct chronological order

Based on the time stamp of the raw data tag, alarms can be sorted chronologically in the alarm
lists in order to ensure that they are shown in the correct order of their appearance.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
5.2 Alarm Logging
5.2.2 SICAM PAS Normalization DLL
Combined with the SICAM PAS channel DLL, the SICAM PAS normalization DLL provides the
basis for the alarming and logging of data in correct chronological order.
SICAM PAS normalization DLL

The SICAM PAS normalization DLL evaluates the additional information transmitted in the
process values and generates an alarm with the corresponding alarm texts in the alarm logging
system.
The file name is PASNORM.NLL.
Additional information
The following additional information is provided:
Value
Location
Cause
State
Additional cause
ID number
Additional information
Time status
Flag (SICAM PAS Flag used by the alarm logging system to suppress internal messages
which are irrelevant for typical applications. This suppression corresponds to the default
setting.)

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
5.2 Alarm Logging
Text library
The normalization DLL retrieves the alarm texts from the text library. The related texts are stored
in the text library in the language used.
They can be viewed under Text Library > Open in the WinCC Explorer. Texts with the text IDs
599 to 2216 are available for new projects. These texts can be customized to meet the
requirements of specific projects. Furthermore, the user can add additional language columns
for translated texts.
pascc401.tif
Figure 5-2 Text library
The texts for the value of a process tag (e. g. ON/OFF) in the text library are subdivided into the
value text groups 0 to 8. Value text group 0 is the default group, and its texts should not be
modified. The texts in groups 1 to 8 can be customized to meet specific requirements.
The value text group whose texts are to be displayed in the alarm lists can be defined in the
Value Text column for each alarm in the Alarm Logging System. Value text group 0 is the default
group.
Note
To browse for specific value text groups (e. g. value text group 5), use the function
Edit > Find > Value Text Group 5.
To show the value of an alarm instead of the alarm text, value text group 255 can be entered for
this value.

5.2 Alarm Logging
5.2.3 Using the Alarm Logging Extension
In order to be able to use the alarm logging extension in a project, the alarm logging system must
be generated in the project.
Afterwards, SICAM PAS alarm messages can be imported into this alarm logging system.
Generating an alarm logging system

Use the SICAM PAS Wizard to generate an alarm logging system in your new WinCC project
which meets the requirements of SICAM PAS.
The alarm logging system consists of alarm message blocks, classes, print layouts and texts.
The corresponding graphic objects for
the event list,
the warning message list and
the protection message list
are shown in the Graphics Designer under

View > Library > Project Library > Alarm Logging Templates > PAS CC V6.x.

5.3.2 Substitute Values
Overview
Via SICAM PAS CC, values in SICAM PAS can be manually updated/substituted. For example,
a substitution is required if there is no connection to the device/primary technology level
although values are required in SICAM PAS.
SICAM functions are available for the substitution of values.
The following values can be substituted:
Bit pattern values
Measured values (floating point values)
Switch positions (signed integer values)

Further information refer to Section 4.3.6.
Values are substituted by means of the following two subfunctions:

Setting the value of the message to the substituted value and setting the status (validity) of
the message to substituted.
Incrementing the value of the structure element WBCounter (Write-Back-Counter) in order
to ensure that the value is substituted in SICAM PAS.
For more detailed information regarding the structure of the indication tags, refer to Section A.
A substitution can be performed provided that the message is in one of the following states:

5.3.5 Global Actions
The Global Actions are copied into the project when importing the SICAM PAS graphic object
library.
They are available in the WinCC Explorer under
Global Script/C Editor/Actions/Global Actions.
Note
Use the SicamPAS_ConnectionChange.pas script to control the redundancy switching of the
SICAM PAS CC channel. For more detailed information, refer to Section 7.1.
SicamPAS_Compkey
During runtime, this global action checks whether the compatibility keys of the SICAM PAS CC
project and the SICAM PAS project are identical. If this is not the case, a message is shown
when the runtime is terminated.
Sicam_AsyncTicks
The Sicam_AsyncTicks Global Action writes into the internal administrative tags @AsyncTick
(refer to Section 4.6). These tags are used to initiate topological coloring or a change in colors.
SicamPas_AlarmListFilter
The SicamPas_AlarmListFilter.pas C script transfers the settings performed via the Message
List Filter Checkbox to the external administrative tags of the connected communication
channels. When the runtime is terminated, the filter setting can be saved for the next start.
To do this, the AlarmListFilter_WriteExt tag must be set to 1. This function is integrated in the
Quit Button graphic object.
Note
The AlarmListFilter_WriteExt tag can only be used when terminating the runtime (consistency
of the tag management).
SICAM_FlashSyn
The SICAM_FlashSyn Global Action writes into the internal administrative tags
@Flashxxx (refer to Section 5.4.1) in order to synchronize the blinking of IndustrialX Controls
(until SICAM PAS CC Version 5.10).

External administrative tags

External administrative tags are available in the WinCC Explorer under
SICAM PAS PROTOCOL SUITE/PAS Data Server/Station Name in the SicamAdmin_xxx
group. They must be assigned as described below.
The name of all external administrative tags is composed of two sections: A designation, e. g.
AlarmListFilter, and a series of numbers, e. g. 107. The series of numbers is determined by the
individual station and is generated by the SICAM PAS Wizard. It consists of two sections
separated by a 0. The first section (e. g. 1) indicates the ID of the PAS project, and the second
section (e. g. 7) indicates the ID of the HMI Interface.

5.5 Language Settings
Overview
When setting the language for SIMATIC WinCC/SICAM PAS CC, several system levels are
distinguished. The language must be switched at different locations.
Language of the WinCC user interface
The language of the WinCC user interface is set in the WinCC Explorer. Any language
enabled during the installation of WinCC can be set for the WinCC user interface.
Configuration language
The configuration language is set directly in the editor which you are using for configuration,
e. g. the Graphics Designer. You can select further languages as configuration languages in
addition to the languages installed with WinCC.
Runtime language
The runtime language and the runtime default language are defined via the start
configuration of the runtime computer. You can select further languages as runtime language
in addition to the languages installed with WinCC.
Fur more detailed information regarding language settings, refer to the
WinCC Information System available under
Start > SIMATIC > WinCC > WinCC Information System.
Specific graphic objects of SIMATIC WinCC are added to SICAM PAS CC. The distinction with
regard to the language setting also refers to these SICAM PAS graphic objects.
Note
Set the runtime language before the first data import. During the import, the texts are saved in
the corresponding language column of the text library.
5.5.1 Language Setting for SICAM PAS Graphic Objects
Several languages (e. g. English, German) are available by default for the SICAM PAS graphic
objects. You can switch between these languages without any preliminary steps.
It is also possible to use additional languages. To do this, some preliminary steps have to be
performed (as described below).
The dialog/menu texts are stored in several text files for the individual languages. The file
PCCIX_xxx.txt is used for circuit breakers and disconnectors. The wildcard xxx is used for the
language code, e. g. 409 for English. During the start-up, SICAM PAS CC loads these text files
and shows the included texts in the user interface.
The text files consist of individual lines. Each line includes the text ID, one or several space
characters and the text string. The text string is placed between quotation marks; this text is
displayed.
The following table indicates for which program interfaces the described language settings are
valid and which text files are available.

All languages which can be set as runtime language can be used for texts shown during runtime
(e. g. texts in the runtime dialogs).
All other texts (e. g. texts of the properties dialogs for circuit breakers and disconnectors) can
only be shown in the languages defined for the WinCC user interface.
Preparing the language setting

To prepare the language setting:
First, determine the code of the desired language. All available languages are listed in the
information system of SIMATIC WinCC.
To open the information system:
Start > SIMATIC > WinCC > WinCC Information System.
Browse for the term Language Code and open the Language Code window.
The list shows all available languages with their code (e. g. 0x040A for Spanish).
You can now create the text file for the desired language.
Creating language-dependent text files

The text files are located in the directories
...\Siemens Energy\SICAM\PAS CC\IndustrialX\V5.0, ...\V6.0 and
...\Siemens Energy\SICAM\Common\misc.
Copy the file PCCIX_409.txt. 409 is the language code for English.
Rename the file (e. g. to PCCIX_40A.txt for Spanish).
Open the file PCCIX_40A.txt using a text editor.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
All texts placed between quotation marks can now be adjusted to the desired language.
Save and close the text file.
Also create all other text files.
Language of the WinCC user interface

To set the language of the WinCC user interface, click on Tools > Language in the WinCC
Explorer. You can select any language which has been enabled during the installation of WinCC.
As soon as you have defined the desired language, all SICAM PAS graphic objects can be
configured in this language.
Switching the runtime language

The runtime language can be selected in the Computer Properties dialog, Parameters tab
(refer to Section 3.2.2). The language you select in this tab card is used during the start of the
runtime. Alternatively, you can switch the runtime language during runtime (refer to Section
5.5.3).
5.5.2 Showing Texts in Runtime Dialogs
Freely defined texts, e. g. notes for the operator, can be shown in runtime dialogs of switches.
The texts must be saved in the text files PCCIX_xxx.txt.
Texts can be shown statically or dynamically. In this context, the term "statically" means that the
text defined via the object properties is shown during runtime.
If a dynamic display is defined, the displayed text is entered during runtime. To do this, an input
box must be configured in the display. Via this input box, the value of the UserStringID can be
changed dynamically.
Creating/editing texts
Open the file ...\Siemens Energy\SICAM\PAS CC\IndustrialX\V5.0\PCCIX_xxx.txt using a
text editor. xxx is used as a wildcard for the language code.
pascc420.tif

SICAM PAS CC includes a preconfigured control element which you can use in your project.
This subchapter explains how to define the switchover to the Spanish language.
In order to ensure that the language can be switched, the text files in the directories ...\Siemens
Energy\SICAM\PAS CC\IndustrialX\V5.0\, ...\V6.0\ and
...\Siemens Energy\SICAM\Common\misc must be available in Spanish with the language
code 40A.
Proceed as follows to configure the switching of the runtime language:
Adding a control element to a display

In the Graphics Designer, open the display to which you want to add the control element
required for switching the language.
Insert the object Button Select Language from the graphic object library into your display.

5.6 Group Parameterization
Overview
By defining different groups, the attributes of several graphic objects can be configured
simultaneously in the Graphics Designer. Both static values and the dynamic display of tags are
supported.
You can define different groups, e. g. in order to assign the control objects and measured-value
objects of a bay the tags of another tag group (refer to Section 5.6.3.2).
The group parameterization dialog can be called up from the related menu in the
Graphics Designer. The menu includes the following items:
SICAM > Settings
Use this function to define the properties to be configured.
SICAM > Group Parameterize
Use this function to define the parameters of the group.
The following elements can be configured via the group parameterization function:
Control objects - circuit breakers and disconnectors
Feeders, ground disconnectors
Measured-value objects
Further graphic objects

Frequently required parameter settings are available in the menu under Settings and can be
used immediately.
5.6.1 Performing Settings
In order to be able to set the parameters of a group, you must specify which object properties
you want to edit for the group. To do this, use the SICAM Settings dialog window.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Task
The settings performed for the parameterization of a group are referred to as a task. A task can
be created, saved and reused.
The tasks parameterize bay, parameterize bay overview controls and
upgrade V5.11 controls are defined by default. These tasks can be used for frequently
occurring parameterization steps (refer to Section 5.6.3.1 and Section 5.6.3.2).
Create additional tasks for your individual parameterization steps.
Property
A property consists of the following definitions: Static, Property Name and Initial Value.
Static
In the Static column, you must specify whether the parameter defines a static value (e. g. an
absolute value) or a dynamic display property defined by means of a tag.
Property Name
The name of the object property must be indicated in the Property Name column. This name
does not correspond to the attribute, but to the name used internally by WinCC.
Select the attribute in the Insert a New Property Item dialog. When closing the dialog by clicking
OK, the internal WinCC name is created automatically and entered in the Property Name
column (see Creating a task).
Initial value
The new value (setpoint) must be entered in the Initial Value column.
Note
For more detailed information regarding the dynamic display of properties, refer to the Chapter
Assigning Dynamic Features to Attributes in the WinCC documentation.
Default
Click the Default button to reset the default settings for the predefined tasks (parameterize bay,
parameterize bay overview controls and upgrade V5.11 controls).

The lists Current Group Name and New Group Name comprise all tag groups of the WinCC
project.
Explanation based on the example of a disconnector:

In monitoring direction, the disconnector BBDC1_ is assigned the tag TagGroup_1_Tag_01 of
TagGroup_1.
The tag TagGroup_2_Tag_01 of the tag group TagGroup_2 is to be assigned to this
disconnector.
Afterwards, the Current Group Name is TagGroup_1 and the New Group Name is TagGroup_2.
After the selection of the group names, the text section which corresponds to the group name is
replaced by the key word $GroupName in the tag names.
During the parameterization of groups, the key word $GroupName is replaced by the name of
the new group. In monitoring direction, the disconnector BBDC1_ is assigned the tag
TagGroup_2_Tag_01.
Select the current tag group under Current Group Name.

Select the new tag group under New Group Name.
The Current/New group names can also be edited or freely entered.
Click OK. The group parameterization is executed, and the progress is shown in the
Reporter.
Key words
Several key words are predefined for the parameterization of groups. Each key word represents
a special text which is replaced by a new text during execution. A key word starts with a $
character.
$GroupName
This key word represents the text selected under Current/New Group Name.
$CurValue
This key word represents the text in the Current Value column.
$PropName
This key word represents the text in the Property column.
$ObjName
This key word represents the text in the Object column.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Defining a target value

The actual value is read in by the graphic object. The target value can be entered in the Group
Parameterization dialog in several different ways.
pascc554.tif
Figure 5-40 Entering target values
Double click on an entry.

The Edit dialog opens. You can enter the target value. You can also use key words for
entering target values, such as $ObjName_$CurName. In this case, the target value is
formed based on the texts in the Object and Current Value columns.
Edit context menu item:
One or several entries can be edited.
Set as context menu item:
The Current Value or the Initial Value can be set as the target value.
Several rows can be edited simultaneously.
The Initial Value is the value which you have previously entered in the Insert a New Property
Item dialog. As Current Value, the value from the Current Value is transferred to the New
Value column.
The target values are displayed in different colors. The colors have the following meaning:
Black
The target value corresponds to both the current value and the initial value.
Blue
The target value corresponds to the initial value, but not to the current value.
Red
The target value corresponds neither to the current value nor to the initial value.

Figure 6-1 Showing a server diagram on the client computer
Diagrams from various different servers can be viewed in individual screen sections. These so-
called "picture windows" are displayed in the basic frame configured on the client computer.
Diagrams configured on the server are directly shown as picture windows, and each diagram is
based on the data of an individual server.
In order to be able to integrate a server diagram as a picture window in a basic frame on the client
computer, the file name of the diagram must be preceded by the prefix of the server name. All
server prefixes must be unique within the distributed system.
The packages of the corresponding servers must be imported into the client.
Open the basic frame on the client into which you want to insert the server diagram as a
picture window.
In the Graphics Designer, select the Picture Window from the group of smart objects. Next,
insert it into the basic frame.
Double-click the picture window to open the Properties dialog.
In the Miscellaneous group of the Properties tab card, click the attribute Picture Name in
order to browse for the server diagram.
Double-click the attribute Server Prefix to browse for the server.

6.2 Configuration of Functions
6.2 Configuration of Functions
When importing data, the compatibility key script (SICAMPAS_CompKey.pas), the alarm list
filter script and several other scripts are created in the PAS directory of the WinCC project
directory. Scripts in this directory are executed by all computers of the project.
For efficient system operation, move the SICAMPAS_CompKey.pas and
SicamPAS_AlarmListFilter.pas scripts into the corresponding PAS directories of those
computers in the project which are connected to the process.
The WinCC project directory holds a subdirectory (<Computer Name>) for each computer in the
project. This subdirectory comprises the same subdirectories as the project directory. Data
located in these subdirectories is only assigned to the individual computer.

Picture Cache
The diagrams from a connected server can be shown in a picture window on a client computer.
For a speedy build-up of the diagram on the client computer, the corresponding diagrams should
be copied into a Picture Cache on the client. When using a Picture Cache, the WinCC client
does not need to reload all individual diagrams from the server.
Proceed as follows to set up a picture cache on the client computer:
Create a folder in the default directory <"WinCC Installation Directory"/bin/PDLCache>
on this client. The name of the folder must have the symbolic computer name of the package
created on the server.
Copy the diagrams into this folder in order to show them on the client computer.
Open the Computer Properties dialog on the client.
Select the Runtime tab.
client_serv02.tif
Figure 6-2 Defining a picture cache
Enter the path of the picture cache under Path.

Modified diagrams are read from the server; unmodified diagrams are read from the
picture cache.
If a diagram is modified in the project on the server, it has to be manually copied into the
picture cache of the client.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Note
If you save the diagrams directly in the PDLCache directory, the diagrams saved on the server
are always shown. If you do not want to save the diagrams in the default directory defined during
installation, the directory must always be named PDLCache and include a folder with the
symbolic computer name of the package created on the server.
Updating SICAM PAS data

Changes performed in SICAM PAS must be forwarded to SICAM PAS CC. For a client-server
system, changes must be forwarded as described below.
Note
The export of the first package from the server and the import into a client have to be performed
manually. All further updates of the packages on the server and the client can be performed
automatically. You can define when the package is to be updated and specify a trigger event.
For more detailed information, refer to the WinCC Information System.

Double/Redundant Configuration 7
Overview
For safety reasons, a SICAM PAS system can be implemented in double/redundant
configuration. Depending on individual requirements, you can implement individual system
components in double/redundant configuration. The present chapter describes the
implementation of the configurations illustrated below.
Double SICAM PAS Full Servers are connected to a SICAM PAS CC Human-Machine
Interface (HMI).
A SICAM PAS Full Server is connected to two redundant SICAM PAS CC HMIs.
Further double/redundant configurations are possible. For example, double
SICAM PAS Full Servers can also be connected to a redundant SICAM PAS CC system.
For more detailed information on redundancy, refer to the documentation of SIMATIC WinCC.

7.1 Connection to Two SICAM PAS Full Servers 216
7.2 Redundant SICAM PAS CC System 220

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Double/Redundant Configuration
7.1 Connection to Two SICAM PAS Full Servers
A SICAM PAS system can consist of two SICAM PAS Full Servers running in parallel. Bay
devices and substations are connected to both SICAM PAS Full Servers; via the SICAM PAS
channel DLL, SICAM PAS CC is connected to both SICAM PAS Full Servers.
The connection to a SICAM PAS Full Server (e. g. to Server1) is referred to as the normal path;
the connection to the other SICAM PAS Full Server (e. g. to Server2) is the so-called redundant
path. During fault-free operation, the connection via the normal path is active.
For SICAM PAS CC, a switchover to the redundant path must be performed if one of the
following two scenarios occurs:
The normal path of the SICAM PAS channel DLL to the connected SICAM PAS Full Server
is interrupted.
The active connection of the SICAM PAS channel DLL to the SICAM PAS Full Server is
permanently monitored. When an error occurs, the system automatically switches over to the
redundant path (to the other SICAM PAS Full Server), provided that this path has been
configured.
The communication between the SICAM PAS Full Server accessed by SICAM PAS CC and
the bay devices is disturbed.
This scenario also requires a switchover to the redundant path.

This fault, however, cannot be detected by the SICAM PAS channel DLL.
The detection of the fault and the switchover to the redundant path must be realized by other
means. The required procedure is described below.

The following components are required for the monitoring and switchover of the connections
(between the normal and the redundant path):
a process tag
the bit array (32 bits) ConnectionState_xxx
the bit array (32 bits) ForceConnectionState_xxx
the WinCC script SicamPAS_ConnectionChange.pas
Process tag
In order to be able to monitor the connection between the SICAM PAS Full Server and the bay
devices, a process tag (e. g. a message derived via CFC which allows for an evaluation of the
quality of the connection to the bay devices) must be created in PAS UI Configuration and
mapped to SICAM PAS CC.
This process tag can be evaluated using the WinCC script
SicamPAS_ConnectionChange.pas. The quality of the active connection can be assessed by
means of the evaluation of the process tags.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
ConnectionState
The bit array ConnectionState_xxx shows the status of the active connection between the
SICAM PAS channel DLL and the SICAM PAS Full Server.
The bit array is defined as follows:
Bit Meaning
0 0 = no connection
1 = connection active
1 1 = connection via normal path
2 1 = connection via redundant path
3 to 31 system-internal use
ForceConnectionState
The behavior of the SICAM PAS channel DLL can be influenced by writing the system tag
ForceConnectionState_xxx.
The bit array can only be written completely. Read access is not possible.
The bit array is defined as follows:
Bit Meaning
0 If this bit is set, the

SICAM PAS channel DLL switches over to the other
SICAM PAS Full Server.
The triggering is performed using the WinCC script.
1 If this bit is set, the connection is activated via the normal

path.
2 If this bit is set, the connection is activated via the

redundant path.
3 to 31 Reserved

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
WinCC script
The process tag is evaluated using the WinCC script SicamPAS_ConnectionChange.pas. The
proper functioning of the SICAM PAS Full Server (including communication with connected
devices) can be checked by means of this evaluation.
If the quality of the active connection is found to be bad, the system can switch over to the other
path using the system tag ForceConnectionState_xxx.
A template of the WinCC script SicamPAS_ConnectionChange.pas is copied into the directory
...\SIEMENS\SICAM\PAS CC\PAS during installation.
In order to be able to use the WinCC script, proceed as follows:
Copy the WinCC script into the PAS directory of your WinCC project.
To customize the WinCC script, apply the related process tags in the script editor.
Activating redundancy
Proceed as follows to activate the redundant configuration:
In the WinCC Explorer, right-click on PAS Data Server. Next, select Properties from the
context menu. The Channel Unit Properties dialog opens.
Click the Properties button. The Connection Properties dialog opens.
Click the Properties button. The PAS Connection dialog opens.

7.2 Redundant SICAM PAS CC System
A redundant system can consist of two SICAM PAS CC which run in parallel. Each
SICAM PAS CC provides a SICAM PAS channel DLL connection to the SICAM PAS Full Server.
The first SICAM PAS CC (e. g. WinCC1) is the Master Server, and the second one is the
redundant Partner Server. Both connections are active in case of fault-free operation.
The SIMATIC WinCC redundancy package must be installed on both SICAM PAS CC Servers.
This package provides for the synchronization of data and for the control of the server
redundancy.

7.2.1 Synchronization of SICAM Acknowledgement Data
SIMATIC WinCC supports the synchronization of data between redundant servers. In order to
ensure that the data of the SICAM PAS CC components can be synchronized between the
redundant servers, the following prerequisites must be met:
The application IX State Sync must have been installed on both servers and has to be
configured accordingly.
For the acknowledgement in Alarm Logging, a WinCC function must have been enabled
on both servers.
7.2.1.1 IX State Sync Application
The IX State Sync application synchronizes the blinking of switching devices. For a redundant
SICAM PAS CC system, it must have been installed on both servers and configured accordingly.
If the active SICAM PAS CC server e. g. receives a message from the process which initiates
the spontaneous blinking of a circuit breaker, the related information is forwarded to the
redundant SICAM PAS CC server. When a switchover occurs, the active SICAM PAS CC server
is up to date. The related circuit breaker blinks.
This also applies for the acknowledgement of spontaneous messages on a switching device
object. If spontaneous blinking is acknowledged, this acknowledgement is forwarded to the
redundant server.

Installation
The IX State Sync application is not part of the default installation of SICAM PAS CC. With the
customized installation, you can select the installation of this application under Redundant
Components.
Starting the IX State Sync application

To start the IX State Sync application, click on
Start > Siemens Energy > SICAM > PAS CC > IX State Sync.
For operation, you can move the application into the Autostart folder of Microsoft Windows in
order to ensure that it is started automatically upon the startup of the computer.
The icon of the started application is shown in the Windows taskbar.
Configuring the connection

The IX State Sync application synchronizes data via a special TCP connection. To set up this
connection, one computer is configured as the server, and the other computer is configured as
the client. The configuration is independent of the function of the computer in the redundant
system (master/standby). In this context, the term "Server/Client" only refers to the TCP
connection. It must not be confused with the client-server terminology used for SIMATIC WinCC.
This connection must be set up as described below:
Right-click the icon of the IX State Sync application. Next, select Control Center from the
context menu.
The PAS CC IX State Sync dialog opens.

7.2.1.2 Acknowledgement in Alarm Logging
In order to ensure that the acknowledgement actions in the warning message lists are
transferred to the redundant partner in a redundant SICAM PAS CC system, a WinCC function
of the redundancy package must be enabled.
This WinCC function transmits the acknowledgements in the Alarm Logging component to the
redundant partner. Acknowledgements are only synchronized for messages triggered via the
SICAM PAS CC communication channel.
The WinCC function is enabled during the installation of the IX State Sync application under
Redundant Components.

Time Synchronization 9
Overview
High-precision time synchronization is a prerequisite for the proper functioning of a SICAM PAS
system. A radio clock can be used as the timer. Time information from this clock is distributed
throughout the entire system.
This section illustrates the distribution of time information by means of a sample configuration.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
Time Synchronization
Overview
Time information within a SICAM PAS system can be synchronized as follows:
via a FG6039GPS GPS time signal receiver manufactured by Hopf and a PCI card for the
SICAM PAS computer
via an (S)NTP timer (e. g. SICLOCK): an external device is connected to the SICAM PAS
computer via Ethernet
via the telecontrol connection of the control center:
This time synchronization method is not relevant for SICAM PAS CC.
In a SICAM PAS system, time settings are synchronized based on the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) and using the related Network Time Protocol Daemon (NTPD) software. Under a
Windows operating system, the NTPD service runs in the background. For the installation of
SICAM PAS, it is referred to as the Network Time Protocol Service. It is configured by means
of the ntp.conf ASCII file. This configuration file can be edited using a text editor (e. g. Notepad).
It is located in the following directory: C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\.
The NTPD is automatically installed together with SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC. It is activated
upon a restart of the computer.
In a SICAM PAS system, several NTPDs are simultaneously active (e. g. on the external radio
clock, the SICAM PAS computer and the SICAM PAS CC computer). An NTPD can be
configured as a server or as a client. Upon the request of a client, the server communicates its
time information to the client.
Based on NTP, a precision of approximately 0.1 milliseconds can be achieved under a Windows
operating system. In order to achieve this high level of precision, the NTPDs of the system must
perform extensive calculations. This process can take several hours after the system start. If the
current time master fails, the NTPDs use the determined time data in order to keep an utmost
level of time precision for as long as possible.
More detailed information on the Network Time Protocol (NTP) is available on the Internet via
the following link: http://www.ntp.org.

9.1 Installing the Network Time Protocol Daemon
9.1 Installing the Network Time Protocol Daemon
To initialize the Hopf6039 card, the related software must be installed as soon as the card has
been inserted. This software component is installed together with a
Network Time Protocol Daemon (NTPD).
The NTPD is automatically installed together with SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC. This NTPD
allows for even more precise time synchronization than the one provided by Hopf.
To install a Hopf6039 card, we therefore recommend to proceed as follows:
Insert the Hopf6039 card in the computer.
Next, install the software for your Hopf6039 card.
The software is required for the initialization of the card.
Uninstall the NTPD (see below).
Install SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC.
The NTPD delivered with SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC is also installed.
Uninstalling NTPD
To uninstall the Network Time Protocol Daemon:
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Double-click Administrative Tools. The Administrative Tools window opens.
Double-click Services. The Services window opens.
Right-click on Network Time Protocol and
select Exit from the context menu in order to exit the service.
Select Start > Run.
Enter ...\instsrv remove and click OK to uninstall the service.
The instsrv.exe file can be found in the directory of the Hopf installation.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
9.2 Network Time Protocol Daemon
For the configuration of the NTPD, knowledge about its main functions is required. Some NTPD
functions and terms are illustrated below.
Server, client and peer

An NTPD can be configured as a server or as a client. The server uses the current time
information received from a clock. The clients poll the time information from the server.
Besides this, an NTPD can be configured as a peer. This is the case if several clocks with the
same priority exist in a distributed system. The roles (server/client) of the individual NTPDs are
not specifically defined for this purpose. The peers communicate amongst each other in order to
determine the quality of their time signal. The NTPD of the peer with the most precise time signal
acts as the server.
Stratum, offset and dispersion

Based on the Network Time Protocol, the time signal is distributed according to a defined
hierarchical order. Time information is distributed from the top level down to the lower levels. A
level is referred to as a stratum. The clock is the top level and is referred to as Stratum 0. The
time server which receives its time information directly from the clock is assigned Stratum 1. The
server which acts as a client of this server is assigned Stratum 2, etc.
The deviation of the time information transmitted by the client clock from the time information
transmitted by the server clock is referred to as offset. The NTPD tries to keep the offset as small
as possible. The offset is the most important criterion for the determination of the quality of time
information.
The dispersion is another criterion used for quality determination. The dispersion defines the
upper limit for the deviation of the system time from the 'real' clock time. The smaller the
dispersion, the higher is the quality of the time information.
Quality of time information

When determining the system time, the received time stamp is assigned a quality. The following
four quality levels can be assigned:
High means that the system time deviates from the 'real' clock time by less than 10
milliseconds and that the quality of the time sources is sufficient for this determination. A
dispersion of less than 10 milliseconds is sufficient to meet the standard requirements in the
field of power automation.
Medium means that the system time deviates from the 'real' clock time by less than 2
seconds and that the quality of the time sources is sufficient for this determination. This level
of precision ensures that no low-quality time stamps are produced if a switching second is
inserted and the clock therefore shows a temporary deviation of ~1 second.
Low means that the available time information does not have the required precision and that
the system must therefore be considered as 'out of synchronization'.
Unknown is assigned if the system detects that no NTP service is running at all or that the
service was not able to detect a time source.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
For compatibility reasons, the time stamp is assigned the ClockSync and ClockValid status
bits. These bits are set depending on the quality of the time stamp:
high
The ClockSync and ClockValid status bits are set.
medium
The ClockValid status bit is set.
low
No status bit is set.
unknown
No status bit is set.

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
9.3 Clock Driver
9.3 Clock Driver
Two clock drivers are available. They were modified in such a way that they ensure proper time
synchronization in the SICAM PAS system.
Driver for the Hopf6039 card
Shared memory clock driver
9.3.1 Driver for the Hopf6039 card
The Hopf6039 clock is a PCI card with a DCF77 or GPS receiver. With a time precision of the
clock of one millisecond, the operating system can achieve a resolution of up to one millisecond.
Using the modified driver (included in the scope of delivery of SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC) for
the Hopf6039 card, the resolution can be improved in edge polling mode.
The quartz oscillator integrated in the Hopf6039 card is more stable than the oscillator of a
standard PC. By combining the Hopf6039 card with NTPD, a time precision of less than one
millisecond can be maintained for another two hours even if no time signal can be received (after
a stabilization phase of several hours).
Different modes can be set on the modified driver in order to determine the behavior of the driver
in case of error (i.e. no time signal received from the clock). The driver can increase the value of
the stratum and mark the clock as erroneous.
A typical line in the configuration file for a Hopf6039 card provides the following type of
information:
server 127.127.39.0 mode 53 minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 prefer iburst
The mode 53 parameter must be interpreted as a bit pattern (decimal value). The tables below
illustrate the significance of the bits.
Table 9-1 Bit pattern, mode 53
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Bit Pattern 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1
Value 1 1 5

9.3 Clock Driver
Table 9-2 Parameter mode
Bit position Meaning
Bits 0 ...3 stratum drop

In case of error, this value is added to the stratum (see next table)
Bit 4 Edge polling mode

The Hopf6039 card does not support interrupts. The card has a resolution of
one millisecond, but maintains the clock time with far higher precision.
During the first reading of the time stamp, a statistical error of +/- 0.5 is
detected; due to repeated readings until the change of the value read, this
error can be reduced to 1/10th of the original value. This method allows for
speedier synchronization.
If Bit 4 is set, repeated reading until the value changes is activated.
Bits 5 ...7 dropout mode

These bits determine the behavior in case of error (see table below).

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
9.3 Clock Driver
Table 9-3 Dropout mode
dropout stratum Meaning

mode drop
0 0 The connection to the satellite is not checked, but the status of the
internal clock. If the clock indicates that it is only synchronized by
the internal quartz, the driver marks the clock as incorrect. The time
signal is no longer polled.
This behavior is identical to the behavior of the unmodified clock
driver.
0 1 ...15 The time signal is still polled, even if the clock is only synchronized
by the internal quartz. However, the driver adds the stratum drop
value to the stratum of the clock. The maximum value of the stratum
is limited to 15.
1 0 ...15 The driver determines from how many satellites the clock receives
time signals. If a clock does not receive time signals from any
satellite, the stratum drop value is added to the stratum of the
clock.
The time signal is no longer polled if the clock is only synchronized
by the internal quartz.
2 0 The time signal is still polled even if the clock is only synchronized
This behavior is identical to the behavior of the unmodified clock
driver, provided that the fudge1 flag of this driver is set to 1.
2 1 ...15 The driver determines from how many satellites the clock receives
time signals. If a clock does not receive time signals from any
satellite, the stratum drop value is added to the stratum of the
clock.
Time information is still polled, even if the clock is only synchronized

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
9.3 Clock Driver
9.3.2 Shared Memory Clock Driver
Using a shared memory clock driver, the time in a SICAM PAS system can be synchronized
based on telecontrol protocols.
The ntp.conf comprises four blocks for time synchronization via telecontrol protocols. A typical
block has the following structure:
server 127.127.28.0 mode 33 minpoll 2 maxpoll 10
fudge 127.127.28.0 stratum 1
The third address section (assigned the value 28 in the example below) defines the type of clock
driver. The fourth address section (0 in the example) is used to distinguish between clocks of the
same type.
mode
mode 33 (refer to Section 9.4) is an extended mode (0x01) including the monitoring for timeout.
In the fudge line, the value 1 is specified for the stratum.
In a SICAM PAS system, only modes 1 and 33 can be used for time synchronization via
telecontrol protocols.
With mode 33, timeout monitoring is automatically included. This is the most convenient mode.
When using Mode 1, the values of the minpoll and maxpoll parameters must be selected very
carefully in order to match the synchronization frequency of the telecontrol center.
The minpoll parameter must be set in such a way as to ensure that 2^minpoll is greater than
the synchronization interval of the control center. The maxpoll parameter must also be set to
this value.
minpoll and maxpoll

If automatic time monitoring (adaptive polling) is activated, the NTPD tries to set a polling
interval within the limits selected via the minpoll and maxpoll parameters. The polling interval
is increased by one step if the telecontrol protocol did not provide any value within a defined
interval. If more than two values are transmitted within an interval, the polling interval is reduced
by one step.
If synchronization based on the telecontrol protocol fails, the polling interval increases until the
maximum interval value has been reached. The clock is marked as erroneous and the polling
interval is set to the minimum value in order to detect a recovery of synchronization as quickly
as possible.
The values for Minpoll and maxpoll must be selected in such a way as to ensure that they
include the expected time synchronization interval of the telecontrol protocol.
The following values can be used: minpoll = 2 (4 s); maxpoll = 10 (1024 s/17 min).

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
9.4 Configuration File for NTPD
When installing SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC, an ntp.conf configuration file is copied into the
...\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc directory. Use this file to configure the NTPD (Network Time
Protocol Daemon).
The time servers are indicated in the configuration files of the clients. However, the clients are
not indicated in the configuration files of the servers. A time client can therefore be conveniently
added to a system. Only the configuration file of the new client needs to be edited.
The configuration file already includes some comments on its contents. The following section
provides information about important entries.
For more detailed information, refer to the following web site: http://www.ntp.org.

Time information is not synchronized if the clock concerned deviates by more than 7,200
seconds from the best external clock. The NTPD stops automatically or does not start up.
The Services Manager indicates whether the NTPD has started or not. Press F5 to update
the Services Manager. Set the local system time manually and start the NTPD.
driftfile, logfile, statsdir
In these lines, you can specify the storage location of the Drift and Log files. To do this, write
access rights are required.
Activate the logfile and statsdir lines for error detection only. The quartz drift determined is
stored in the ntp.drift file. This allows for speedier synchronization after a system start, since
the clock can be set to the correct speed based on the offset value. If no writeable (and reset-
proof) file system is available, the drift file can be disabled. In this case, optimum
synchronization can only be achieved some time (hours!) after a system start.

Reference clocks
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# reference clocks

# -- local system clock

# the local system clock is used as level 10 fallback if everything fails and
# the server must continue to operate because of (S)NTP clients like
# IEC61850 devices et al.
server 127.127.1.0
# -- HOPF6039 receiver
# mode 53-->bail out if no radio operation possible.
#server 127.127.39.0 mode 53 minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 prefer iburst
Using the lines under local system clock, you can define the local clock as the timer. Define a
high value for the stratum. The local time is used unless another, better time base is available.
In the lines under Hopf6039 receiver, you can define the use of a Hopf6039 card.
mode
With mode 53 (see Table 9-2), no time is polled from the card if it cannot receive data.
minpoll, maxpoll
The time is to be polled at intervals of between 4 and 64 seconds. The values of minpoll and
maxpoll are the exponents from a base of 2 (22 = 4.26 = 64).
iburst
The iburst parameter ensures that five values are read per second during the first poll. The
internal filters enter a steady state, which ensures that synchronization can be achieved
within an even shorter time.
Shared memory clocks
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# shared memory clocks ('iburst' is not useful here)
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# minpoll 2 -> 4s / maxpoll 6 -> 64s, mode 33 -> adaptive polling
# channel 1

# channel 3
# channel 4

E50417-H8976-C284-A5, Edition 05.2007
These lines are required in order to use shared memory clock drivers. They are used for time
synchronization via telecontrol protocols.
mode
Via mode 33 (see Table 9-2), you can define adaptive polling. During adaptive polling, the
frequency of the poll is automatically adjusted to the poll result. If the result rarely changes,
polls are performed less frequently.
minpoll, maxpoll
The minpoll and maxpoll parameters must be specified in such a way that the range
matches the current synchronization rate of the control center as precisely as possible.
Peers
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# peers: all time sync peers in a PAS installation
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If the local system has reference clock access, mention all other systems
# (full servers and dips) in a PAS installation that can also access reference
# clocks. Peers will negotiate the leader of the pack...
# minpoll 2 -> 4s / maxpoll 6 -> 64s, iburst -> initial burst poll
#peer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 iburst
If one Full Server and one or several DIP(s) are used, the synchronization sources can be
distributed amongst the computers used (HOPF6039 on the Full Server, telecontrol protocols on
the DIP). To do this, activate the peer line.
In this case, the computers must determine amongst each other which clock time is most
suitable. Since the classical server/client relationship cannot be applied in this context, all
computers involved must be configured as peers (i.e. "colleagues" with the same priority). Data
is exchanged on a bidirectional basis in order to ensure that synchronization can be performed
by both computers (systems).
Servers
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# servers
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If the local system has no reference clock access, mention all systems that
# have reference clock access here. If there is a network path to an external
# clock source (NTP server in the control center, for example) list them
# here, too. And furthermore mention all fallback servers that can be used!
#server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 iburst
The following lines serve as examples for the definition of time servers. The information in these
lines can be used for demo purposes only. In a "real" environment, the user must enter the
parameters for real time servers.

9.5 Sample Configurations
This section illustrates typical sample configurations. It describes the distribution of time
information in the system and presents the configuration files of the NTPDs.
In the first example, a PIC card manufactured by Hopf is used. The card is incorporated in a
SICAM PAS computer (Full Server).
In the second example, the time is specified by an external radio clock. The radio clock is
directly connected to the bay bus (IEC 61850).
9.5.1 PCI Card as Timer
The FG6039GPS PCI card manufactured by Hopf is incorporated in the SICAM PAS computer
(Full Server) and used as the time master of the system. Other clocks can only become time
master if the PCI card fails or if its time information is of poor quality.
The NTPD is active on both the SICAM PAS computer and on the SICAM PAS CC computer.
On the SICAM PAS computer, it acts as the server; on the SICAM PAS CC computer, it acts as
a client.

9.5.2 External Radio Clock as Timer
For system configurations comprising an Ethernet bay bus (IEC 61850), an external radio
clock (e. g. SICLOCK, Meinberg, Hopf) can be used as the time master on the Ethernet bay bus.
If this clock fails or if the quality of the time information provided is poor, another clock available
in the system becomes the time master. In the NTPD configuration files, you can define which
clock is to become the new time master.
The NTPD is active both on the SICAM PAS computers (Full Server and DIP) and on the
SICAM PAS CC computer. The NTPD of the radio clock acts as the time server; the NTPDs of
the SICAM PAS computers act as the clients.
Additionally, time information can be transmitted from the telecontrol center.

Structures A
Overview
PAS information (tags) is processed as structures in SICAM PAS CC. A structure consists of
several elements. There are six structure types.
When importing tags from SICAM PAS, the tags are automatically assigned to the appropriate
structure type.
In SICAM PAS CC, you directly access structure type elements, i.e. their values and their addi-
tional information.
This chapter provides a list of these structure types and an overview of the meaning of the struc-
ture elements.

For messages
The Counter is always incremented by the SICAM PAS Channel DLL when a new information
is sent.
For commands
If a command is to be output via SICAM PAS CC, the command counter (CmdCounter) is to be
incremented. In this way, SICAM PAS Channel DLL knows that the information has changed.
The Reply Counter is always incremented by the SICAM PAS Channel DLL when a new infor-
mation is sent.
