2. GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The SICAM PAS system is an open, modularly-designed numerical system for energy automation.
The specific functions of a power automation system are combined with those of a programmable
logic controller system and include the communication possibilities of today’s IT-world.
SICAM PAS has been designed specifically for the requirements of energy & power automation
systems and is scalable due to its distributed architecture. The SICAM PAS power automation
system provides a system solution for an efficient execution of all tasks required in a substation.
SICAM PAS can be integrated into the existing communication structure of the substation, using
standardized communication standards. SICAM PAS can also be used as a communication
gateway.
The full graphical process visualisation system SICAM PAS CC (CC: control centre) can be
located directly in the substation and provides for easy control and monitoring. (See chapter 3 for
a more detailed description of SICAM PAS CC).
The CFC (Continuous Function Chart), a user-friendly graphical configuration tool for automation
purposes is an option, included in the option is the specifically developed substation automation
CFC function blocks.
New devices can be integrated into the system and can be intuitively configured (via SICAM PAS
UI). Especially using the possibility to adapt the configuration and the on-line settings (when the
configuration is done on the SICAM PAS running the same hardware), without generation and
loading, this makes the parameterisation and testing quicker and easier.
For diagnostic purposes SICAM PAS has dedicated tools aboard.
With using IT technology and with its integrated tools for test and diagnostics SICAM PAS is ready
for the future, which a also secures the investment.
The SICAM PAS power automation system provides innovative solutions for most diverse task
definitions resulting from the use of distributed information systems in different locations. It is
suitable for use both in interconnected and distributed switchgears of electric utilities and in the
manufacturing industry.
SICAM PAS has been designed as a modular, open system which complies with all widely used
communication standards. In addition to this, it supports you in the implementation of project-
specific automation tasks in the field of substation automation and power automation.
The SICAM PAS CC control and display system provides numerous options to realize your system
management concept via individually designed user interfaces and operator actions.
The consistent use of Windows technologies, convenient user interfaces and the operating logic of
the system components ensure that newcomers become familiar with SICAM PAS within a short
time.

3. SICAM PAS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Possible topologies of the SICAM PAS system are shown below. These do not necessarily fit
together with the architecture on which this offer is based.
Please see part C for the valid SICAM PAS architecture, as well as part B for the scope of delivery
and service for this offer.
3.1. SICAM PAS a system with distributed architecture

The SICAM PAS system consists of one Station Unit called “Full Server” (In a SICAM PAS hot-hot
redundant system there are 2 “Full Server”) When wanting to increase the performance, numbers
of connections ,system availability and topological reasons the SICAM PAS system can be
extended with additional Station Units named “Device Interface
Processor DIP“.
• SICAM PAS is suited for the operation in a substation with one SICAM PAS Station Unit
• Can also work in co-operation with other SICAM PAS Station Units in a distributed system.
The various SICAM PAS Station Units are in this case exchange information via a powerful
Ethernet- LAN.
A powerful data distribution system for real time data enables the SICAM PAS system to allocate
tasks to various SICAM PAS Station Units. These Station Units together form one SICAM PAS
system and thus have a higher performance, system availability and more connections
communication possibilities.

3.2. Hot-Hot (Control Master/ Monitoring Only) redundancy of a SICAM

PAS system
The availability of the SICAM PAS power automation system can be further enhanced in doubling
the SICAM PAS Station Unit „Full Server“.
The HMI server can also be built redundantly, as shown below and can serve several HMI clients.
Picture 3- redundant SICAM system (2 Station Units „Full Server“ and redundant HMI server with 3 HMI
clients)
The architecture consists of the 2 SICAM PAS systems in a hot-hot configuration. Both systems
are acquiring data independently from each from the connected IED’s and/or satellite RTU’s.
This hot-hot redundancy can be used only together with IED’s and satellite RTU’s which support
dual/multiple master protocols (i.e. Profibus FMS, IEC 60870-5-101) or client <-> server protocols
as a server which can be accessed from dual / multiple clients (IEC61850) Both SICAM PAS “Full
Servers” data bases are automatically yet independently updated from the field connected IED’s
and satellite RTU’S (monitoring direction) No information exchange between the HOT-HOT
SICAM PAS station units is required when no internal commands are generated (e.g. derivation
SICAM PAS Page 9 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
from an indication) and there are 2 independent telecontrol connections to the control centre
(which selects the active channel).
In case internal commands are generated or only one telecontrol interface is available, an
exchange of a status (“Control Master” / “Monitoring only”) between both SICAM PAS Station
Units is a necessity to ensure that only one source is enabled to send commands and to switch
the telecontrol interface to the Station Unit with the status “Control Master”.
Possible locations for controls are:
• Local HMI SICAM PAS CC
• Remote control from a control centre
• Internally generated command (derivation, automatic sequence,…)
The following mechanisms are providing the necessary functionality of a single command source:
• SICAM PAS CC => Software redundancy function of WinCC
• Remote Command => task of the connected control centre
=> Switching the telecontrol interface, when one is only available
• Internally generated command => CFC logic
The switching between of the status (“Control Master” / “monitoring only”) of the 2 „Full Server“
can be done via:
• Internal supervision function
o Done with CFC logic
o Exchange of status via OPC mechanisms
• Operator from SICAM PAS CC HMI place
Optional additional information can be generated and exchanged Verification of the status of the
communication drivers to IED’s and satellite RTU’S connected to both Station Units
=> Switch over criterion: Station Unit 1 drivers not o.k. / Station Unit 2: drivers o.k.
• Information to the control centre which Station Unit is the “Control Master”
• Life signal from both Station Units to the control centre

The SICAM PAS UI - Configuration system component is used for
• The configuration and parameterization of your system as well as for
• The exchange of configuration data.
In the different views, you can specify the type and the transmission modes of your ommunication
links. In addition to this, you also define which devices, substations, control centers or control and
display systems are connected.
For each of the connected system components, you can also specify which information is valuated
in the SICAM PAS substation unit. You also determine which information is to be available for the
communication with higher-level control centers and for the system management via SICAM PAS
CC.
You can individually structure your system data in the topological view to map your operating
conditions.
Predefined device- and project-specific descriptions ensure that your system can be configured
and parameterized conveniently and within a short time.

• The SICAM PAS Station Unit(s) is/are equipped always with:
• 1 x LAN – Ethernet TCP/IP interface
• 2 serial COM interfaces
Up to 4 CPCI modules (depending on the ordered type) can be used additionally in a SICAM PAS
Station Unit. One of these CPCI slots is used (by default) to insert a GPS-time synchronization
module. Thus when using GPS only 3 slots can be used for extension of the communication
interfaces of the SICAM PAS Station Unit(s):
• Additional serial interfaces:
o Using PCI COM-Expander (e.g. Rocket Port) to extend the number of serial
interfaces up to 32
o Using Rocket Port serial Hub via the Ethernet LAN.
• A Rocket Port serial Hub can provide up to 8 RS232/RS485 interfaces

o Profibus interfaces using CP5613Profibus PCI module
o Up to 4 x CP5613 per Station Unit
o Up to 2 of them can be used for Profibus FMS communication
o Per CP5613 used as Profibus DP master, up to 31 Profibus DP slaves can be
connected,
SICAM PAS Page 16 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
o Per CP5613 used as Profibus FMS master, up to 30 Profibus FMS IED’s can be
connected,
• LAN connection via Ethernet TCP/IP of the SICAM PAS Station Unit(s)
o Ethernet Switches
o Ethernet Hubs
o In the IEC 61850 Standardization papers special requirements are defined regarding
environmental conditions Switches und Hubs, these requirements are considered in
the selection of used Switches / Hubs for connection of IEC61850 IED’s
For the connection of IED’s via a fibre optic network, using fibre optic star-couplers, OLM’s (optical
link module), OSM’s (optical switch module) or Ethernet switches/Hubs with fibre optic interfaces
can be used, depending on the used transmission protocol.
7.1. Communication via telecontrol protocols

The communication up to 5 control centres per SICAM PAS system with different protocols can be
used. The communication interfaces are independent of each other and can be located, in a „Full
Server“ and also in a „DIP“.
The following protocols are implemented for communication to a control centre:
• IEC 60870-5-104 (TCP/IP),
• IEC 60870-5-101 (balanced and unbalanced),
• DNP V3.00 (level 2)
Our scope of supply ends with the physical telecontrol interface of the SICAM PAS Station Unit(s).
Especially in case of the LAN/WAN based telecontrol protocol IEC60870-5-104 where the
substation is connected via a router (not in our scope) it is necessary that the owner of the
substation implements all aspects of security (like firewall …) in the used router in order to protect
the substation against unauthorized access.
Satellite RTU’s can be connected to the SICAM PAS system via the telecontrol protocols IEC
60870-5-101 and/or DNP V3.00 (level 2).
The transmission rate of the implemented protocols can be at maximum:
• IEC 60870-5-104 (Slave) 10/100 MBit/s
• IEC 60870-5-101 (Slave) up to 38,4 kBit/s (balanced and unbalanced mode)
• DNP V3.00 Level 2 (Slave) up to 38,4 kBit/s
• IEC 60870-5-101 (Master) up to 38,4 kBit/s (balanced and unbalanced mode)
• DNP V3.00 Level 2 (Master) up to 38,4 kBit/s
The implemented functions of these protocols and the rules for exchanging the data between the
SICAM PAS system and the control centre are described in the attached protocol description /
interoperability list.
SICAM PAS Page 17 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
7.2. Communication with IED’s and satellite RTU’s

The maximum number of IED’s and/or satellite RTU’s which can be connected to a SICAM PAS
system is 150, independent of the used communication protocol (IEC61850, IEC 60870-5-101,
IEC 60870-5-103, DNP V3.00 (level 2), Profibus FMS / DP or Modbus-RTU).
The following protocol options (available per order code) for communication to IED’s and satellite
RTU’s are available for the SICAM PAS system:
IEC 61850 IEC 61850 is the international standardized communication protocol in a

substation for connecting IED’s and devices within a substation using
Ethernet MMS. IEC 61850 also supports a direct data exchange (broadcast,
multicast) between IED’s and therefore allows for example system
interlocking without a central unit.
Profibus FMS Most SIPROTEC 4 bay control and protection relays can be connected to the
SICAM PAS Station Unit using Profibus FMS. Within Profibus FMS many
features which a re later found in the IEC61850 can already be used.
IEC 60870-5-103 Many of suppliers of protection relays, bay controller, and other IED’s
support this protocol and can be connected to the SICAM PAS.
IEC 60870-5-101 (Master) the international standardized protocol IEC 60870-5-101 is
used for the connection of satellite RTU’s.
‚balanced‘ and ‚unbalanced‘ modes are supported.
For the connection of satellite RTU’s automatic dial-up
communication is also supported.
The establishment of the connection to the satellite RTU can be
done cyclically and driven by event (e.g. to send a command). In
monitoring direction the establishment of the connection can also be
done cyclically and driven by events.
Analogue and ISDM modems can be used; it is also possible to use
a GSM modem in the substation. For the communication to the
satellite RTU’s Backup modems can also be used.
" other satellite RTU’s can therefore be connected when the
“standard modem” is busy.
PROFIBUS DP PROFIBUS DP is a powerful field bus protocol using the Token-
assingprocedure.
This protocol is mainly used in the process automation area and also
in automation systems for energy- and gas- substations.
For simple applications, where functions like time synchronization
and transmission of fault recording is not required, SIPROTEC 4

7.3. Communication using the „open interface OPC“
SICAM PAS can be configured as an OPC Server and OPC Client.
SICAM PAS Page 19 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
With the OPC Server SICAM PAS process variables can be read and written from OPC clients
which arelocated either in the same system or connected via TCP/IP to the SICAM PAS system.
Using these OPC mechanisms it is for example possible to connect a third party HMI.
The OPC Server is part of the SICAM PAS basic package.
The OPC Client can read and write data from other OPC-Servers. An application example is the
data exchange between the SICAM PAS Station Unit and the SIMATIC automation systems.
7.4. Communication with the HMI system

The process visualization and control System SICAM PAS CC is connected via LAN connection
(Industrial Ethernet TCP/IP) to the SICAM PAS Station Unit(s).
The SICAM PAS CC visualization and control system can be configured as:
• Single User System (1 SICAM PAS CC to control 1 SICAM PAS system)
• Multi User System (1 SICAM PAS CC to control several SICAM PAS systems)
• Multi User System using client/server architecture
The SICAM PAS CC Server can be redundant Please see chapter 3 for more detailed description
of the SICAM PAS CC visualization and control system and the system requirements.
8. SYSTEM SAFETY
Reliability and safety requirements as required in a substation automation system are fulfilled to a
high degree by the SICAM PAS system. Electromagnetic compatibility of SICAM PAS electronic
components is also given particular attention.
SICAM PAS promptly signals faults because it has continuous running safety check running in the
background. This ensures that the operation /maintenance personnel can locate the faulty system
components more quickly.
• Interruption of power supply
The SICAM PAS system automatically reboots after an interruption of the supply voltage. All
the parameters are securely stored in the real-time data base and all applications are started
as “services” automatically in the same state as before the interruption. The SICAM PAS
system is designed to be maintenance free, i.e. no buffer batteries are required and there is
fan -free operation.
• Communication
Faults in data transmission caused by electromagnetic influences, earth potential differences,
ageing of components or other disturbances or noise sources on the transmission channels,
are reliably detected. The safety procedures of the protocols detect:
SICAM PAS Page 20 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
• Bit and message errors,

• Information loss or repetition,
• Faulty information items,
• Separation or corruption of contiguous information items.
• Priority-controlled message preparation
Messages activated by events are priority-controlled and rapidly made available to the
system. The following lists are provided:
• Basic cycle list
• Periodic list
• Interrogation lists
• Time-controlled lists
• Spontaneous lists,
• with/without time delay
• prompt memory/message memory
• Organizational list
• A telecontrol fault group indication can be parameterised from individual information items
and transmitted as a group indication to the control centre, logged or used for signalling
at the cubicle.
Using the graphical automation tool CFC single faults can be easily and comfortably
grouped in a user friendly way, using the structured text function of the automation tool of
SICAM PAS.
Our scope of supply ends with the physical telecontrol interface of the SICAM PAS Station
Unit(s). The connection to a public net using Web-browser or WAN connections via router is
within the responsibility of the substation owner.
Especially in case of the LAN/WAN based telecontrol protocol IEC60870-5-104 where the
substation is connected via a router (not in our scope), it is necessary that the owner of the
substation implements all aspects of security (like firewall …) in the used router in order to
protect the substation of unauthorized access. At the latest after commissioning or transfer of
the equipment for operation Siemens will not be able to ensure that all security relevant
patches can be installed, therefore Siemens must reject the responsibility for the protection
against unauthorised access.

9. OVERVIEW OF FUNCTIONS
9.1. Overview
SICAM PAS has been designed as a modular system with open communication interfaces. In
this way, it meets the requirements of stateof-the-art power management systems and of the
power supply equipment of industrial manufacturing plants.
This modular structure also allows to flexibly combine the individual system functions. Only
those components required on a certain computer must be installed and authorized there.
The following sections provide an overview of the individual system components and their
tasks. These include:
9 SICAM PAS UI - Configuration
9 Automation Functions
9 Feature Enabler
9 SICAM PAS UI - Operation
9 SICAM PAS Value Viewer
9 SICAM PAS CC
9 SICAM Recpro
9 SICAM Valpro
Complementary to the above-mentioned components, following Chapters describes
substation control functions such as:
9 Switching authority
9 Bay blocking
9 Telecontrol blocking
9 Time synchronization
9 Fault recording
9.2. SICAM PAS UI - Configuration

The SICAM PAS UI - Configuration system component is used for
• the configuration and parameterization of your system as well as for
• the exchange of configuration data.
SICAM PAS Page 22 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
9.2.1. Configuration and Parameterization

The clearly structured configuration interface provides you a comprehensive overview of your
system parameters.
Import and export functions allow the exchange of configuration data. This reduces the
expenditure and error sensitivity during the configuration and parameterization of a system.
The elements of the user interface can be arranged according to the requirements of the
individual user. You can specify that continuously required table columns are always shown
in the corresponding view, whereas non-required columns are hidden. The settings are
maintained also after a restart of the program.
Sorting and filter options provide for increased transparency and convenient
parameterization.
System-specific automation functions are graphically configured. To do so, you use both
default logic functions and specific power automation function blocks.
Your parameter entries are immediately checked for plausibility. Tooltips provide information
on the permissible values or on the value range. In addition to this, the user is supported by a
context-sensitive online help.
It is not necessary to explicitly generate the configured and parameterized data for the
runtime environment.
SICAM PAS UI - Configuration structures the parameters in the individual views:
• Configuration
• Mapping
• Topology and
• Templates
Configuration In this view, you specify the components of which your SICAM PAS
system consists. These include:
• Applications
IED protocols, control center connection, HMI (SICAM PAS CC), automation (CFC) and
OPC.
• Interfaces
Serial interfaces, Ethernet, PROFIBUS
• Devices / control center
Bay controllers and protection devices, transformer controllers, distributed I/Os or
depending on the protocol of a control center.
The configured components are represented in a tree structure, whereas the parameters of
the selected components are displayed in the data pane.
SICAM PAS Page 23 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
Picture 4- SICAM PAS Configuration
Mapping In this view, you select which information is to be used in the previously
inserted applications of your system.
For the interface to higher-level control centers, you also specify telecontrol
addresses, the list assignment and protocol type-specific parameters.
SICAM PAS Page 24 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
Picture 5- SICAM PAS Mapping of the information of a device
Topology The configuration view of your system is orientated towards communication.

In contrast to this, the topological view allows to create a system view which
is structured according to the requirements of an individual project. Levels of
information such as substation, voltage level, bay and any other
structurization levels are created in this context.
On these levels, you can simply distribute the configured and parameterized
information via Drag & Drop.
SICAM PAS Page 25 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
Picture 6- SICAM PAS topology, example of information of the SICAM PAS substation
Templates In the template view, you can define device- and project-specific device
descriptions and templates for normalizations of information.
You can assign project-specific information names and addresses. Moreover,
you can specify command execution times, the assignment of commands
and command feedbacks or the type of information.

MREC
Picture 7- SICAM PAS templates, example of a PROFIBUS FMS device
9.2.2. Exchanging Configuration Data
If devices which have already been parameterized completely are integrated in

interconnected systems, these configuration data can be imported in SICAM PAS. As
an example, you can integrate substations parameterized with SICAM plusTOOLS or
the project-specific information volume of the bay and protection devices into SICAM
PAS.
If modifications to the information volume result, you can conveniously update
already imported project data.
Configuration data are exchanged in different formats on the file level.
SICAM PAS Page 27 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
Importing configuration data
You can import the configuration data of bay and protection devices in the DBF, XML
or SCD format, whereas configuration data of substations are imported in the XML
format.
For IEC 61850, all devices included in an SCD file are imported and created
automatically within the framework of the SCD file import.
Export of configuration data
Control center Configuration data created via SICAM PAS for the
connection of your station to higher-level control centers via
IEC 60870-5-101 can be exported in the XML format and
then imported by the control system.
SICAM PAS CC Configuration data required for the process visualization via
SICAM PAS CC are exported in the PXD format. Afterwards,
these data are imported by the SICAM PAS Wizard and
used for the generation of the control and display interface of
your SICAM PAS system.
Exchange of configuration data via OPC

If your SICAM PAS system works as an OPC Client, you can
apply data of the corresponding OPC Server. In this context,
the OPC Browser displays in a comprehensive manner
which information is available and which information is
already used.
This is a convenient method to extend or reduce an already
performed data selection.
9.3. Automation Functions
The SICAM PAS automation blocks provide a comprehensive tool allowing individual
solutions of operational automation tasks.
Automation functions are formulated via CFC or Structured Text (ST). CFC allows the
graphical connection of function blocks. In addition to usual link blocks such as AND,
OR, NOR, etc., you can use a comprehensive library of system-tested power
automation function blocks.
In this way, you can realize typical task definitions such as
SICAM PAS Page 28 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
• Command processing
o Command derivation
o Interlock tasks
• Message processing
o Message derivation
o Message filtering
o Inversion and conversion of messages
o Group indication formation
o Transformer tap and bit pattern comparisons
• Measured- and metered-value calculation
o Non-linear characteristic
o Limit value monitoring
o Slave pointer
o Mean value formation
o Arithmetic and comparison blocks
• Switching sequences
Simple configuration rules simplify the definition and interpretation of function charts;
the chart-to-chart technology provides for a comprehensive overview.
For the configuration via SICAM PAS UI - Configuration, you simply selet information
required for your automation tasks. Already there, you can group information which is
used collectively (if required).

9.4. The Feature Enabler

Use the Feature Enabler to enable the applications which you require in your project
or on the corresponding computer.
In this context, applications are:
• the different protocols
• the configuration tool
• the CFC automation function
• OPC connections
SICAM PAS Page 30 / 49 1/10/2005

9.5. SICAM PAS UI - Operation
SICAM PAS UI - Operation provides a quick overview of the runtime status of your
system. The configuration is displayed in the tree structure and the representation via
different colors provides a quick overview of the status of interfaces, devices or other
applications.
The component selected in the tree structure can be enabled or disabled in the data
pane.

9.6. The SICAM PAS Value Viewer
The SICAM PAS Value Viewer is an important tool for the project phases of
configuration, testing, commissioning and operation.
Without any additional configuration expenditure, it allows the visualization of process
and system information and informs you about the current status of your system.
In addition to the check in monitoring direction, tests can also be performed in control
direction via command outputs.
The value display is updated continuously.
SICAM PAS Page 32 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
Picture 12- SICAM PAS Value Viewer
9.7. HMI
In the SICAM PAS system, SICAM PAS CC performs the control and display
functions of the process information of your system.
In this way, functional and spatial contexts of your system components are
represented conveniently in overview and system diagrams.
The logging of status changes of your process information and operator actions in
the correct time sequence is performed via message lists such as the alarm and
event list.
You can intervene into the process and control it from system diagrams.
System data such as messages and measured values can be logged and saved in
freely definable archives.
The assignment of specific authorizations, the possibility to use bay and telecontrol
blockings, different switching modes and the consideration of switching authorities
complete the control functions. For more information on these functions.
The communication with the SICAM PAS is performed via Ethernet (TCP/IP).

SICAM PAS CC consists of the SIMATIC WinCC process visualization system and
the SICAM PAS CC components.
Picture 13- SICAM PAS CC Components
SIMATIC WinCC SIMATIC WinCC provides standard function modules for the
graphical display, for messaging, archiving and logging of
information. With its powerful process interface, the fast diagram
update and the safe data archiving, it ensures high availability of

9.7.1. SICAM PAS CC Components

The SICAM PAS CC components extend the SIMATIC WinCC standard functionality by
functions for the use of the control and display system in the field of power automation.
SICAM PAS Wizard
The organizational functions of the SICAM PAS Wizard support you in the
configuration of your project.
SICAM PAS Page 34 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
Import
After the creation of a station, you use the SICAM PAS Wizard to import
SICAM PAS information configured and parameterized with the SICAM PAS
UI - Configuration tool.
The import includes:
• Import of the SICAM PAS tags to the SICAM PAS CC tag management.
• Import of the SICAM PAS messages to the SICAM PAS CC alarm logging.
• Import of the SICAM PAS measured values and metered value to the
SICAM PAS CC tag logging.
• Creation of the SICAM-specific structure tags and of the required
internal tags (variables).
Initialisation
The SICAM PAS Wizard initializes the project. Within the framework of
the initialization:
• the SICAM symbol library is imported.
• the SICAM-specific alarm logging is created.
• the SICAM text library is created.
The initialization can be performed independently of the SICAM PAS data
import. In this way, you can start the configuration of the SICAM PAS CC
project before the completion of the project via SICAM PAS UI - Configuration.
The activities of the SICAM PAS Wizard are logged in the SICAM Report which
provides you with detailed information on the success of the activities or on
error messages and warnings.
SICAM PAS symbol library
The SICAM PAS symbol library includes

• Objects for the representation of the switching devices
• Objects for the visualization of measured and metered values
• Message window templates for alarm logging (templates for the event list, warning
message list and the protection message list)
• Control elements e. g. for the control of the switching authority, for synchronized
switching, etc.
SICAM PAS Page 35 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
• Control elements for the control of the message list entries for defining which
updates of a process information initiate entries in the message lists.
Picture 14- SICAM Symbol Library
When creating your system diagrams, you simply move these graphical objects via
Drag&Drop from the library to your diagram. As a next step, you connect them with the
information parameterized via SICAM PAS UI - Configuration.
Switching device objects

IndustrialX Controls are used in SICAM PAS for the visualization and control of the
switching objects. IndustrialX Controls can be used in the multi-client and Web navigator
environment.
The SICAM switching device objects for circuit breakers and disconnectors support four
representation modes each:
• SICAM
• DIN 42200
• IEC 445 and
• LSA
SICAM PAS Page 36 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
If other representation options are required, you can assign the different states to bitmaps
which have been defined for this purpose. The GIF image format ensures optimum display
performance.
Bay overview objects

Bay overview objects are available in the SICAM PAS symbol library. These IndustrialX
Controls visualize the switching status of the overall bay. During the parameterization, you
select the individual switching devices for which the color is to change when the switching
state changes. In this way, bay overview objects increase the information content of your
overview diagrams.
Status display
The status display graphically visualizes the information statuses Not topical, WIN CC
status not OK, Bay blocking, Telecontrol blocking and Manually updated.
Via a context menu, you can display the current status of a selected information object in
text form.
The color representation of the individual status in the graphical representation can be
selected for the individual user.
Dynamizations
If a distinction must be made between synchronized and unsynchronized controlling of a
switching device, you can define additional dynamizations in the switching device object. In
this way, the control dialogs are extended and the control method can be chosen in runtime.
Some SIPROTEC 4 bay devices support synchronized switching.
If the switching device objects are only used in monitoring direction (missing entry of the
control variables), no control dialog is output.
Two-step controlling
The switching devices are controlled in two steps with the IndustrialX Controls. The
switching direction is selected in the first step, whereas the command output is initiated in
the second step.
If a subdevice supports the Select before Operate function, it can be combined with the
two-step method.
SICAM PAS Page 37 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
EnableSwitching
Depending on other tabs (variables), control dialogs can be prevented in runtime. As an
example, this feature is used if the switching authority changes between several operator
terminals of a SICAM WinCC Client/ Server configuration.
PermissionLevel
In the WinCC properties dialog, you can specify the user authorizations to determine which
operator actions or parameterization tasks may be performed by a certain operator.
LabelButtonOn
With this parameter in the WinCC properties dialog, you can specify object-specific texts for
runtime dialogs e. g. Step up/Step down for the transformer control.
Language adaptation
The default version of SICAM PAS CC provides German and English configuration and
runtime dialogs.
However, all texts used in these configuration and runtime dialogs are stored in text files.
For this reason, they can be translated conveniently to other languages.
SICAM PAS CC alarm logging - message lists

In the SICAM PAS CC message lists, the incoming messages are logged with the absolute
time stamps formed in the bay devices or substations.
The time stamp and the message state are completed by additional information. Examples
of additional information: Cause, event source, status information, protection times, etc.
Besides the values IN/OFF and RAISED/CLEAR, the value display also comprises fault
positions (double-point indications) and bit pattern indications.
Value texts can be parameterized for the individual message, such as Step up/down. You
can create up to eight different value text groups.
Command output indications are logged in addition to process indications.
In the alarm list, you can select which indication status is to be acknowledged.
• RAISED state
• CLEAR state
• RAISED and CLEAR state.
RAISED indications remain in the alarm list until the corresponding CLEAR indication and
the acknowledgement which might be required.
SICAM PAS Page 38 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
Status of the devices SICAM PAS CC visualizes the status of the device connections to the
SICAM PAS Station Unit. If the connection is lost, the color of the switching device objects
and measured-value objects in the diagram changes.
In addition to this, the device status can be logged in the message lists.
SICAM Valpro
SICAM Valpro is an optional component for the processing, display and printing of archived
measured and metered values. It is based on the SICAM PAS CC archive system (SIMATIC
WinCC tag logging).
SICAM Valpro displays archived values in a graphical or tabular representation. The
following values are evaluated:
• Original values
• Maximum and minimum values in different time intervals, e. g. 15
minutes or hourly values
• Power factors
• Sum/difference values of metered values in different time intervals.
Groups can be defined for the representation and measured values can be assigned to the
groups.
The diagram representation can be defined freely with regard to many properties, such as
the curve type or the background.
Curve properties can be defined specifically for an individual curve.
Measured-value curves are represented analogous to the fault record evaluation.
The tabular representation of the archived values can be added to the graphical
representation or positioned independently. The cursor position and the first visible table
row correlate.
Graphical representations and tables can be output on a printer.
Tables with archive data can be exported in the CSV format, whereas text reports can be
exported in the text format. In this way, they are available for further processing in other
programs (such as Excel).
SICAM Valpro can be used on the SIMATIC WinCC Server or clients. As an alternative, it
can also be executed independently of SIMATIC WinCC. For the offline evaluation, you
require group files which you have created with SICAM Valpro in the SIMATIC WinCC
environment.
SICAM Valpro requires an individual authorization for each computer.
SICAM PAS Page 39 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
SICAM Recpro
SICAM Recpro is an optional extension block for the management, archiving and evaluation
of fault records. It can also be used independently of SICAM PAS CC.
For protection devices connected to a SICAM PAS Station Unit via the IEC 60870-5-103,
PROFIBUS FMS or IEC 61850 protocols, the fault records created in these devices are
transmitted automatically. These fault records are archived automatically in communication-
specific directories on the fullserver or DIP.
The fault records transmitted can be evaluated using SICAM Recpro.
SICAM Recpro consists of the following components:
• SICAM Recpro Explorer
for the management and evaluation of fault record archives in combination with an
evaluation program.
• SICAM Recpro Collector
for the generation and management of a central fault record archive
• ComtradeView
for the visualization of fault records
SICAM Recpro provides additional, complementary features such as
• Adaptation of the channel texts in the fault records via device-specific channel text
files, also from third-party devices
• Export functions
Export of fault records in the Comtrade format
Export of an overview of the fault record archive contents to a text file
• Import of external fault records in the Comtrade format
• Evaluation function

9.7.2. Displaying
The spatial and functional correlations of your system components can be represented in
more or less detailed diagrams.
Graphical representations of individual system components or devices can be constructed

9.7.4. Substation Control Functions

SICAM PAS provides a series of functions tailored to the requirements of substation control
tasks. These include:
• Switching authority
• Bay blocking
• Telecontrol blocking
• Time synchronization
• Fault recording
9.7.4.1. Switching Authority

In distributed systems, the switching authority defines which layer has the switching
authority. The bay control layer, the station control layer or the control center layer can have
the switching authority.
Besides local/remote switching by means of the key switches of the bay devices, a
distinction between local and remote control can be made on the station control layer.
SICAM PAS Page 45 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
The switching authority can be defined for the specific channel, i. e. one telecontrol channel
has the switching authority, whereas the others and the local control have no authority.
9.7.4.2. Bay Blocking

To perform maintenance tasks on a feeder, it might be useful to interrupt the data exchange
in control and monitoring direction with the bay devices concerned.
The bay blocking can be enabled or disabled for a specific device.
If the bay blocking is set, value changes of the process information and the status
information are not transmitted.
The bay blocking is visualized by the graphical representation variants of the switching
objects.
Setting and clearing of the bay blocking is logged in the event list of the SICAM PAS CC
HMI.
In addition to this, you can specify during the parameterization whether the information
affected by the bay blocking are also marked individually as Not topical in the event list.
9.7.4.3. Telecontrol Blocking

To perform maintenance tasks in a station, it might be useful to interrupt the communication
with higher-level control centers in the control and monitoring direction.
The telecontrol blocking can be enabled or disabled for a specific channel.
If a telecontrol blocking is set, the local control has the full volume of information available.
Setting and clearing of the telecontrol blocking is logged in the event list of the SICAM PAS
CC control and display system.
9.7.4.4. Time Synchronization
If your SICAM PAS Station Unit is to take over the time synchronization of bay devices,
substations and SICAM PAS CC, this can be performed via a DCF 77 or GPS time signal
receiver manufactured by the Hopf company. The SICAM PAS Station Unit itself can also
be synchronized via this time signal.
9.7.4.5. Ethernet station bus

In the case of system configurations with an Ethernet station bus (IEC 61850), a separate
time master can be used on the Ethernet which synchronizes all connected devices, the
SNTP clients, as an SNTP server (Simple Network Time Protocol).
SICAM PAS Page 46 / 49 1/10/2005

MREC
In this case, the SICAM PAS Station Unit also acts as the SNTP client with regard to the
time synchronization. Nevertheless, it performs the synchronization of the devices
connected to the SICAM PAS Station Unit via other protocols.
9.7.4.6. Fault Recording

For protection devices connected to a SICAM PAS Station Unit via the PROFIBUS FMS,
IEC 61850 or IEC 60870-5-103 protocols, the fault records created in these devices are
transmitted automatically. These fault records are archived automatically in communication-
specific directories on the fullserver or DIP.
The fault records transmitted can be evaluated using SICAM Recpro.
SICAM Recpro consists of the following components:
• SICAM Recpro Explorer
for the management and evaluation of fault record archives in combination with an
evaluation program.
• SICAM Recpro Collector
for the generation and management of a central fault record archive
• ComtradeView
for the visualization of fault records
SIGRA 4 can be used for a comprehensive and sophisticated fault record analysis. This
analysis tool calculates further tags and graphically represents the fault records in different
views.
