OPC-Client (based on COM/DCOM)
Data exchange and communication with OPC Server using the OPC Client
The communication partner OPC Server can be located
on the same PC or on another PC connected with TCP/IP (Ethernet) OPC
The open communication can especially be used for the data exchange with Client
automation devices e.g. SIMATIC
Example: A SIMATIC S7-400 is connected to a SICAM PAS Station Unit through
a CP1613 and via the Ethernet. The communication used between the S7-400
and the CP1613 is the S7 protocol. An OPC server for the CP1613 card is
available from SIMATIC. In this way data can be exchanged with the SICAM PAS
OPC Client.

OPC-XML-Server
OPC XML-DA Server is a protocol for SICAM

OPC XML-DA PAS. The Microsoft IIS-Server is used as a
Web-Server for OPC XMLDA. The data OPC

OPC XML-DA Client
XML-DA Client works with the
OPC XML-DA Server.
OPC XML-DA Server and OPC XML-DA Client are
LAN, WAN /
Internet installed on different PCs, the communication of the
OPC XML-DA Servers with SICAM PAS works via
TCP/IP. This open communication is applicable for data

Use of a „time-synchronization module“ in the SICAM PAS computer e.g. Hopf card (DCF77 or
GPS)
The SICAM PAS takes over the time synchronization
for the connected devices (if the communication protocol supports) and
for the HMI PC connected via Ethernet (SICAM SCC)

A separate time master can especially be used in configurations with an Ethernet station bus (IEC
61850). This is an SNTP-Server (Simple Network Time Protocol), which synchronizes all
connected devices (SNTP-Clients), incl. the SICAM Station Unit

Bay Blocking
In case of maintenance works in the switchgear it may be useful not to display the messages
caused by the works in the event and alarm list of the local HMI and remote control center as well.
Bay blocking woks device specific. The image of the field device appears like „frozen“ for all users.
All messages are put into a virtual waste basket. Commands are suppressed.

Telecontrol Blocking
Telecontrol blocking works in the same way as Bay blocking.

As the name already says only the Telecontrol interface is blocked, but not the interface of the Local
Control Station SCC.

Switching Authority
Substations can be monitored and controlled not only by one telecontrol center. There can be
several TCCs or even more local HMIs.
For security reasons only one control station should have the switching authority. All other
control stations are not able to control anything (but they still receive data)
SICAM PAS has a logical „torque switch“ which allows to define which control station shall get
the switching authority.

Standard path

Complete or Customized
Custom offer to un-select single components. However, the full installation would usually be preferred.
Standard path

Destination Folder
The standard installation path should only be changed, if there are certain reasons for, e.g. some
types of the SICAM Station Unit require other paths.
Standard path

Demo means without a dongle, provides the full functionality of the system, but limits the Runtime
System to 3 hours. After that, the RT can be restarted again (for the next 3 hours).
Full Server or DIP

functionality is a
matter of installation,
not a matter of
hardware.

Now the real installation starts
The first part is not

SICAM PAS itself, but the
prerequisites, which is
mainly the DotNet
Framework 3.5 client

Installation of PAS component
First part finished successfully, now the SICAM PAS itself is being installed

Installation finished - Restart
Log-Files will be written into this path,

if errors occurred during installation

After Re-Boot
A window may pop up after having re-booted the computer, if there was more than one
ethernet-adapter. The adapter, which is to be used with SICAM PAS, has to be added to the
medium window pane.

Paths
All software is split up into 5 paths. One reason is the ability also to install the package
without having admin rights.
•C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Siemens Energy\SICAM PAS PQS

(includes e.g. Database Dir)
•C:\Program Files\Siemens Energy\SICAM\PAS PQS (includes e.g. bin, binui Dir)
•C:\Program Files\Common Files\Siemens\Energy (includes e.g. ntp.exe Files)
•C:\Siemens\Energy\SySrv (includes e.g. System Services)
•C:\Documents and Settings\[UserAccount]\Local Settings\Application Data\Siemens

5. Licensing
Licensing
The license file is to be moved by a special

SICAM SCC
program from a memory stick to the hard disk
of the PC. software:
SICAM PAS software:

You can choose between The optional software packets for e.g. several
several SICAM PAS basic protocols are to be activated by a password
packets (from a license card) in combination with the
related dongle.
DIGSI software:
The license key (password) is to be

entered during software installation.

Dongle and passwords
In order to run SICAM PAS you need a dongle and password cards.
The dongle is to be plugged to a USB-port of the PC (or SICAM Station Unit).
Together with the dongle you get password cards with all services (protocols) which you purchased.
Later, to add another service, you just need another password card
License Card for Runtime License Card for Configuration License Card for IEC 61850
......

How to open the Feature Enabler
The Feature Enabler releases those

applications, which we want to run on
the PAS computer

Feature Enabler
Depending of the usage of the

PAS PCs at least the
configuration license and/or the
runtime license should be
entered.
Almost all other applications are

communication services and
depend on the desired
functionality.

How to install passwords
To enable a certain
application, a password
has to be entered.
A unique password list comes
along with the Dongle.
The installation just takes a few seconds.

Parameterization without configuration license
Even if you have no configuration license but a runtime license you can do some
(limited)parameterization in the UI-Configuration tool.
You can add new applications, mainly für PQS applications. In this case IEC 103 and
IEC61850 protocols belong to these applications.
With all the other applications you can:
not connect new devices or interfaces

not delete devices or interfaces aber alle anderen
change parameters
add new information

Parameterization without configuration license
Even if you would have no Configuration License but a Runtime License you can perform some
(restricted) changes in the UI-Configuration tool:
You can:
add some applications (restricted)
add new messages
change parameters
You cannot:
add new devices or interfaces
delete devices or interfaces

License models
SICAM PAS PQS can run in two modes:
Demo version (no dongle)

With the demo version you can run SICAM PAS/PQS as a Full Server (no DIPs). After 3 hours all
protocol drivers and the central server stop. The configuration manager will still be running. After
restarting the SICAM PAS runs for the next 3 hours and so on.
Restrictions:
Projects you have configured in demo version cannot work in the licensed version.
You cannot run SICAM PAS/PQS as a distributed system (Full Server – DIP)
You can save only one fault record and power quality data for one day in the archive.
Licensed version (with dongle)

With the licensed version SICAM PAS/PQS can run as Full Server or as DIP(s)

6. UI User Interface
UI - User Interface - 3 Tools
The SICAM PAS User Interface consists of three independent programs

SICAM PAS UI – Configuration
This program is used for parameterization of the project specific applications
SICAM PAS UI – Operation

Here the user gets an overview of the situation of the applications, interfaces
and device connections.
SICAM PAS Value Viewer

The program is the tool for engineering, commissioning and operation. It
permits both the visualisation of the process - and system status and the
command execution for test purposes.

Highlights
Clearness through structured user interface
Data exchange through Import- and Export functions
Sort and filter functions increase the comfort
Graphical engineering of automation functions
Online plausibility check
Context sensitive online help

PAS UI Configuration
If the owner uses passwords for each user, here you could see the login name
Here you can see the license size (Medium, Large)

Configuration
To configure…
Applications (IED-Protocols, control centres, HMI, automation, OPC)
Interfaces (serial interfaces, Ethernet, Profibus DP)
Devices (Bay units and protection devices, tap changers, power meters)

Mapping
• Here we decide, which information is to be used

• And also the telecontrol addresses, list assignment and protocol specific
parameters are defined for interfaces to higher level control centres

Topology
While ”Configuration" shows a technically oriented view of the system,

the “Topology” displays a process oriented view of the station
a project specific, structured station topology arises.
Information levels can be defined
Station
Voltage level
Bay
Also user defined
levels can be created.
Information is to be
assigned to the
created levels by
drag & drop.

Templates
Based on templates
device and project specific device descriptions
and templates for normalisation
can be defined.
In terms of consideration of typical
names of information can be
defined project specific
define feedback indications
to commands

Tabs for PQ
Reports
In this viewyou can configure templates for reports which will be generated cyclic.
The templates contain selected measurement values which are used for evaluation of the network
quality. The report templates are created as a txt file and imported into the SICAM PAS/PQS.
Point of time and cycle when the report shall be created can be adjusted in the report template.
Grid Code
Here you can define the thresholds which the grid has to keep. These Grid Codes are the basis
for the evaluation of the PQ measuerement data quality of the system.

Configuration Data Exchange
The project specific defined amount of information of a device can be imported

for the most important protocols.
All in the SCD comprised devices Data exchange
are automatically imported Import of engineering data SICAM PAS shortens duration and

Interface to SICAM PAS CC
The information required in local visualisation SICAM PAS CC can be exported,
and afterwards imported with the SICAM Wizard.

OPC Client
The OPC-server publishes data online. I.e. there is no export file,
but the running server has to be connected to the network of the
configuration computer

Additional Features
User defined user interface layout

The individual elements (operator menu, window, …) of the user
interface can be arranged user specific.
not required columns can be removed.
Remaining of the last status
The user specific arrangement remains unchanged after a restart of
the computer.
After program restart the user is in exactly that view, in which he
has left.
Sort and filter function
In all tables
Up- and downwards sorting in all columns
Pre- or user-defined filters
Online help
A context sensitive online support for all engineering topics
Switching between the languages German and English

Plausibility of Data
The plausibility of the data input is immediately checked, faulty entries are
visualised.
In the configuration view a short help text is displayed and a corresponding note is
displayed directly in case of missing inputs.
Faulty cells or lines are immediately marked red colour. A tool tip helps to correct.
Die Werte dieser Spalte müssen eindeutig sein!

Automation
To configure logic functions we have 4 different editors…
CFC – Continuous Function Chart Graphical

configuration, simple rules, easy to learn
ST – Structured Text
A real programming language, like PASCAL,
more flexible, for programmers
SFC – Sequential Function Chart
Step oriented, includes ST code, mainly for
switching sequences
IL – Instruction List
For users coming from industrial automation

Automation with CFC
CFC is used for the realisation of automation functions.

The CFC allows the graphical connection of function blocks.
A large library of system tested function blocks is available for the substation
automation.
Plan in plan technology increases the clarity of the function plans.
Simple engineering rules make the definition and interpretations of function plans
easier.
(Flow of sequence of the plans from top to down and afterwards from left to the right)
Mapping of information to be in the automation is made in the mapping view table
Information, which is to be OR grouped, can be assigned in the mapping table

PAS UI Operation
The user gets an overview about the status of his runtime environment
The Tree view offers a fast view of the status of the components
(application, interface, devices) by using different symbols and colours.
Furthermore each of the

components can be
started and stopped
individually in the right
hand side window pane.

PAS Value Viewer
The SICAM PAS Value Viewer is an important tool for engineering, testing,
commissioning and operation.
It allows the visualization of the process and system information without additional
engineering and provides information about current status and quality.

Entering key codes
To enable a certain
application, a password
has to be entered.
The unique password list
comes together with your
dongle.
The installation (it is just the password to be installed) just takes a second.

Opening the Parameterization Tool
UI-Configuration is the parameterization tool

for SICAM PAS system. All the information to
be processed, all the communication
interfaces and all IEDs have to be defined
here.

Imported messages
appear in Mapping

Selecting desired messages
Ticking USE means to make a message available for further processing, i.e. to send
to an HMI-system, to send to a telecontrol center, to process in logic functions etc.

How to select a group of messages Filter
Example: We are going to disable all commands with the address 99999999
1. Open drop-down-menu in Telegram Address column and select 99999999.
How to select a group Filter
2. Select the headline “Use” to mark the whole column (blue colour)
3. Move the mouse pointer into the blue marked area
4. Press the right-hand mouse button to select “No”
5. Disable the filter

No saving necessary
This finishes the first part of the parameterization.

There is no save-button, because all the entries are directly written into the
data base.
The configured PAS system should now be able to run.
If we connected the RTU the communication should work.

8. UI Operation
Starting UI-Operation

UI-Operation window
The Operation window displays all the components we defined in UI-Configuration,

but this is an online-view
The user easily

recognises the current
state of SICAM PAS and
the connected devices

Activate Changes
If settings were changed in UI-Configuration (new application, changing parameters, etc.), we have
to activate these changes in UI-Operation.
If parameters of a CFE
component were modified in
UI Configuration, e.g.
Baudrate of an interface,
changes have to be taken
over into the Runtime system
by Activate Changes.
If a Non-CFE-component
modified, changes have to
be activated by Stopping
and Re-Starting the
application

Updating the System
For the first time we have

to update the system to
get it running
On every update, a
Report window logs each
single step

The Update buttons
If, in an existing service, an

additional component was
added or changed, the
view must be updated.
The Runtime will not be
stopped.
If new applications were

inserted, it is necessary to
update and restart the
runtime system

Symbols in the tree view
Full Server is running

IEC101-Master is running
IEC104-Slave was stopped
Interface is not valid

Overview of symbols

Overview of symbols

Operation - functions
Each level shows the current state and can manually be started or stopped
The IED level additionally contains buttons for General Interrogations as well as
for Bay-Blocking and Telecontrol-Blocking
Operation - functions
all sublevels
are included
With the context menu we also can start or stop including all the sublevels

Starting of the 101-Master
After starting all, the levels turn to

Pending-Up state which means it is
trying to start, but did not yet succeed
because there is no answer
from the RTU.

Startup completed
After a few seconds all the levels have started and are running now

Important Notes
The runtime system is widely independent from the UI-Operation Tool
I.e. even if you close UI-Operation, PAS system keeps on running
Even after shutting down and restarting the computer, the runtime
system will automatically start

9. Value Viewer
What is a Value Viewer for?
The Value Viewer displays information components online in form of a table
•Every line represents an information point, e.g. SP, DP, ME_FL, IT...
•Various components are displayed in columns, e.g. Value, Cause, Validity
Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. 9. Value Viewer

Opening the Value Viewer

List of all Information
The selection of the top level would display all information in the entire substation

Important columns
Time Stamp: Time of last acquisition

Time Stamp Status: Valid=Time from PAS, Process=from processing device
Time Stamp Quality: Quality regarding time sync (Low, medium, high)
Value Path: Path from configuration (not from Topology)
Value Name: Information name

Important columns
Value: current value (Off, on, raised, cleared...)

Initiator Category: Source of information (Local, remote, automatic...)
Cause of Transmission: Reason why a message occurred
Validity: Message can be invalid, if device was faulty or switched off
Additional cause: i.e. interlocking, switching current check, control authority violation, set=actual,
chatter blocking, upper or lowwer limit,...
Important columns
Type of Value: Data type, e.g. SP, DT IT, ME_FL

COV Sequence Number: especially supported for transient messages (fleeting points)
Identification Number: e.g. fault record number

The properties of a message
The properties pane is for manual data modification for test purposes

Properties page in detail
Here we can watch or modify information:

Entering a 2, we initialize a change from Open
to Closed.
To activate simulation, click on button
Transmit
Write access to the database is to be
authorized since version 6.
The standard password is 000000.
As this message is originally a binary input, it
will change back after a while due to the cyclic
interrogation

Control function
We can also control commands:
After selecting a command, we

can enter the control value.
Control must be checked.
Transmit now initiates the

command
Password entry just like before

Testing data
The Value Viewer allows us to test all information without using an HMI system or
telecontrol interface.
We even can simulate certain messages or values, which usually may not appear.
The control function allows us to control any command.
Be careful with the Value Viewer on a hot substation !!

Spontaneous lists
Which spontaneous lists and buffers are available?

...and what are their tasks?
Initiation buffer
Events will be marked in a special process image. One bit for the information
and one bit for changes. Now the information is prepared for transmitting. If the
Spontaneous lists event will change before transmission will happen, the bit in the process image
will be actualized. Always the latest value is in the process image. The
Process image advantage is that the actual value will be transmitted and the number of
Initiation buffer transmissions will be reduced. Used for transmission of measurements and
persistent indications.
Telegram buffer with time

Events are stored in a buffer with time stamp. If the same message changes
again, before the buffered telegram was transmitted, an additional telegram with
new time stamp and new value is put into the buffer
Often used for indication telegrams
Telegram buffer without time

for IEC 60870-5-101/104
Brief description
Software IECTEST is especially

developed for easy use and
understanding under WINDOWS.
An extra advantage is, that we do

not need any auxiliary card.
Communication runs on serial
interfaces (COM ports), and
respectively on the Ethernet
network card.
IECTEST can run parallel to other Windows applications, e.g. SIMATIC-Manager.
It supports protocols IEC60870-5-101 (balanced and unbalanced mode) as well as

IEC60870-5-104 and limited also -103.

Configuring a Serial Hub
Together with a Serial Hub (or Serial Modem) we

also get an installation CD
The configuration software as well as the firmware

has to be installed on our Computer.
The Hub has to be connected to the Ethernet.
Opening the configuration tools „ipether“ the

parameters of the hub will be displayed

Downloading Software
Choose „Accessories“
and then „7XV5655“
Software components
The configuration tool has to be installed, to set the necessary parameters in the hub.
The firmware is usually not necessary, as it was already loaded by the factory.

Downloading files
We now get the

packed files

Extracting the files
After extraction

Installing the configuration tools

Supported by a Wizard
You have to click trough several

dialog boxes.

Starting the configuration tool

Configuration
The hub appears after a short time

Define IP-Address
The IP-Address has to be defined and has to apply to your network.

Define Name
The name should be entered to identify the hub, especially if several hubs were
existing in your network.

Properties Dialog

Defining Protocol format
TC57 is the higher level part of the

IEC60870-5-103 specification
With IEC103 we always have to use

format FT1.2
TC57 is a technical commission within the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) responsible for
telecommunication for power transmission and distribution and also defines a telegram structure
FT1.2 (IEC60870-5-1) is a data format used for protocols like IEC60870-5-101 or -103
Defining COM Port
Define COM Port and enable

RS485 half duplex
The COM-Port address will not be loaded

into the hub, but serves as a “virtual
COM-Port” for your computer, which is
mapped to a certain IP-Address.
We recommend not to use COM-Ports 3
and 4 for Serial Hubs, because they are
often used PC internal (even though they
are physically not existent).
Half Duplex is a communication mode for
2-wires-RS485

4. Interlocking
How to test interlocking?

1. MBU must be connected an run (Green Run symbol in UI Operation).
2. Set the Breaker to ON position and send an OFF command (e.g. with
ValueViewer). Check if executed (LED).
3. Set all conditions in such a way to allow the Breaker to be switched ON.
Send an ON command and check if executed.
4. Change the conditions not to allow an ON command anymore. Send an ON
command and check if rejected (no visible reaction).
Note:
Testing interlocking always requires a positive (command executes) as
well as a negative (command does not execute) test !
4. Interlocking
For higher security:
On initiation of this command, the PAS system checks whether the Automation component was
actively running. If not, the command was locked (and cannot bypass the automation) for security
reasons.
Note:
Any command with interlocking should be ticked here!
Commands without COMMCP block must not be ticked!
5. Command Derivation
Example Load Shedding:

If “Alarm 1” raises, e.g. from a frequency relay,
a consumer (load) must be switched off.
INDIC CRCOM COMMCP

CB “Off”
ION SEND Command
Output Comm

14 ValType
0 BOValue

ValueType 14 = Pulse switching command
Note: BOValue 0 = OFF-Command
There must not be 2 COMMCP blocks with the same command!

(i.e. if that command was already used in CFC, you have to combine logic functions)

16. IEC61850 Communication
Standard for Substations
International Standard
• Covers all substation functions like protection,

automation and monitoring
• Is a global standard and the key for
interoperable solutions
• Investment security through openness,
expandability and garanteed future
• Allows Improvement of substations for different

plant types
• Provides support of Engineering of the whole

substation through standardized configuration
language based on XML
• Uses available Ethernet technology and

modern communication components
16. IEC61850 –
Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. Communication Standard
IEC 61850 - Speed
IEC 103
The protocol IEC 103 typically supports data rates of 9600 bit per second.
In contrast to IEC 103, IEC 61850 works nowadays with Fast Ethernet (100 megabits per
second). This is about 10.000 times faster than IEC 103.
If required the data rate can be expanded to up to 10 gigabits per second.
IEC 61850

IEC 61850 – future-proof
IEC 61850 uses ethernet as a communication medium.

If in the future a newer and better way for data transmission will be developed, IEC 61850
can be easily adapted to the new technology.
No other protocol is able to support this feature.
IEC 61850
The communication standard IEC 61850 strictly separates data and services of the required
communication technology. That is, if there are new and faster ways of data transmission you
just need to change the “vehicle”, data and services keep equal.
IEC 61850

IEC 61850 - Hardware
Precondition for a high data rate is high quality equipment.

Even from this point of view IEC 61850 shows a lot of advantages.
IEC 61850 uses communication technologies only, which have been already successfully
approved for many years in offices.
Even a mixture of different communication technologies is possible: Electrical or optical, coaxial,
twisted pair or FO. The standardized hardware makes the installation easy and save which
leads to a cost reduction.

Interoperability
Interoperability
the ability of two or more IEDs from the same vendor, or from different vendors, to
exchange information and to use it for execution of customized functions
16. IEC61850 –
IEC 61850 - Interoperability
A big advantage of IEC 61850 is the standardization of services, description language and
interfaces.
That means, each vendor of IEC 61850 compatible devices has to develop according to the IEC
61850 standard. Therefore it is generally possible that devices of different vendors can talk to
each other in the same network without changing the protocol.
In order to configure IEC 61850 compatible devices all vendors have to use the same
configuration language SCL.
SCL stands for Substation Configuration Language

IEC 61850 – The Configuration Language SCL
SCL:
Substation Configuration Language is based on XML
XML:
eXtended Markup Language is based on HTML
XML is a neutral format for data exchange. Mostly used in documentation.
More and more XML is used for configuration and data exchange of automation applications.
• XML is not a programming language ! ! !
• XML is not a database ! ! !
HTML:
HyperText Markup Language is a text based language for structuring of contents like texts,
pictures and hyper links in documents. HTML documents are the basis of the World Wide Web
and can be depicted by webbrowsers. Along with the real text HTML contains additional
information in terms of meta data. These meta data give information about the author, the
language or the colour of the text.

18. SNMP Simple Network
Management Protocol
Network control via SNMP
Networked telecontrol systems use increasingly Ethernet as a communication standard.

Intelligent network structures with switching technology are the basis for real-time data
transmission.
Redundancies of the network and the components increase the reliability. The outage
of a single component does not lead to a total breakdown. Nevertheless, it is necessary
to install a quick and easy error detection which realizes an outage and signalizes it
immediately.
SICAM PAS allows to manage and control system components supporting SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol), e.g. SIPROTEC relays, Switches or SICAM
PAS Station Units.
The SNMP protocol is based on UDP/IP (User Datagram Protocol/ Internet Protocol).

Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. Management Protocol
SNMP - Basics
SNMP is used to monitor and control system components.

There is an SNMP Manager (e.g. SICAM PAS) and SNMP Agents (e.g. SIPROTECs,
RuggedCom Switches).
The agent is a piece of software which runs e.g. at a switch and monitors and controls the
status of that switch.
.
SNMP Manager SNMP Agent SNMP Agent

SNMP - Basics
SNMP supports no „login-password“ functionality, there is a login only, but no

password.
There are 2 login-types, which are called „community“,
• the community „public“

• the community „private“
„public“ allows to read only, „private“ allows to read and write.

What is a MIB (Management Information Base)?
The idea of SNMP is to monitor and control networks and their components
(i.e. switches, routers, etc). This ought to work fast but with low bandwidth.
There should be transmitted no text (e.g. „PowerSupplyPrimary“), just numbers (e.g. „6“).
On sender side is a translation table which converts text to numbers and on receiver side
from numbers to text.
Text Number Numbe Text

CPU Temperature 4 r 4 CPU Temperature
F605switch1 5 5 F605switch1
PowerSupplyPrim 6 6 PowerSupplyPrima
ary ry
This table „Text – Number“ is called The number in the MIB is called OID
MIB (Management Information Base) (Object Identifier)
What is a MIB (Management Information Base)?
There are still two questions:
• Is there a way to give the numbers a structure? So, the assignment „Number – Text“ is much faster ?
• Is it possible to cover really ALL information of ALL vendors in this table?
The answers are: „Yes“ and „Actually yes“
As SNMP is a standard, a numbering structure

was created like the tree of the windows
explorer.
The screenshot on the right shows the
structure of the „Basis – MIB“ which is called
„MIB-2“. This MIB-2 is the standard and
contains all common information
If a vendor needs to use its own texts or
settings, the vendor has to create an
additional MIB. The information of the MIB
has to be mounted to the MIB-2 at the
mounting point „enterprise“. That means,
the „Basis MIB“ is still persistent.

Summary
In SNMP the telegram addresses are called OID (Object Identifier).

These OIDs are fix assigned in so called MIBs (Management Information Base).
The MIB for a dedicated device (e.g. Station Unit, RuggedCom switch) has to be
imported into the PAS.
We use the view “Templates” in the UI-Configuration Tool to import the associated
file.

Communication parameters of the Interface
Here we had to enter the IP address of Here we have to enter the access code
the manager (PAS computer), only if we for the SNMP agent
had more than one IP address.

Import SNMP Device Description

Device Description for the electrical EN 100 module just contains the 2 port failure

Message Grouping
Especially for switches with many ports, a grouping of all port related messages is
desired. This can easily be done in SICAM PAS without using CFC logic.
FO-Port 1 faulty

Cu-Port 4 faulty
Cu-Port 5 faulty
Cu-Port 6 faulty Port fault

Message Grouping
For each device to monitor (Switches or EN100) we can assign lists Port fault and/or
Redundancy fault.

Message Grouping
In Mapping we now can assign each single message to the existing lists

Message Grouping
In “Status” tab we can find the appropriate resultant messages.

Virtual Device to group Grouped Messages
The device template SnmpSystemDevice can be used to

summarize all device specific resultant messages to
general fault messages

Export of HMI information
A *.PXD file will be created, which later has to be imported into PAS CC.

How to check the content of a PXD file?
We can simply use Excel.

Content of a PXD file
All the HMI mapped messages appear with their names and their internal addresses.
Note: Don’t save your file with Excel!

Where do the message names come from?
Technological name Information name
SICAM PAS PQS / YL7J002004 / IEC 60870-101 Master / Interface / miniRTU / Buffer overflow

Additional hidden Columns
Back in Mapping we have to display some

hidden columns.

Additional hidden Columns
For each of the 3 visible columns,

there are 2 hidden also.

Additional Columns
If a message is ticked, the name is copied into the 2 columns. Why?

Because in PAS CC these are 3 different items, and each of them needs a name.
•Name for an Alarm Logging Entry (Event List /Alarm List)
•Name for a Picture Variable (Tag)
•Name for a Archive Variable (just Measured and Metered Values)
What is the Topology for?
With the Topology we can define message groups to structure information.

The topological name is mainly used to export to the HMI system.
These names usually appear in an Event List or an Alarm List and should be
understandable for the operators of the substation.

Where to structure information?
Topology allows us to create

certain information levels to
structure information. The
topological levels´ names
replaces the technological
name string. Together with
the information name this text
will be used in the HMI
system (mainly for lists).

Example how to structure information
The topological name will replace the technological name for the use in the HMI system
At the very beginning all information is located in the top level

New Topological Levels and Filters
1. We create a new 2. Select the top level again, and activate the filter
“Station” called to display just the RTU messages
SSTN Training RTU to
group all RTU related
messages

Selecting information
•To select single messages use CTRL and mouse click.

•To select all messages press CTRL A.
•To select a group of messages, select the first line of the desired group, keep the
shift-button pressed (while scrolling down and) select the last line.

Moving information
Now just move the selected items into the desired level (drag & drop)

Disable filter
The RTU messages now have disappeared from the top level
To display all other messages, disable the filter

Back to HMI Mapping
Here we can replace the previous (technological) names by the new (topological) names.

Again Export of HMI information
The *.PXD file will now contain the Topological Names.

20. Introduction to SICAM SCC
What is SICAM SCC?
TeleControlCenter
SICAM SCC visualizes and archives
the process data of SICAM PAS. SICAM SCC
SICAM SCC allows to control your (SCC= Substation Control Center)

WinCC Explorer
The central point for provisioning settings in SCC is the WinCC Explorer.
From here you can start all

configuration tools of SCC.
We mainly need the following:
• Graphics Designer
• Alarm Logging
• Tag Logging
• SICAM PAS Wizard
• Text Library
• User Administrator

SCC – an example
At the right side you can see an

example of an SCC screen.
Here you may…
• switch between several pictures
• monitor and change the user login
• change the language
• set bay/telecontrol blocking
• switch ON / OFF circuit breakers
and disconnectors
• monitor and change tap position
• observe values in digital or analog
view
In order to create a picture like this
you need to use the WinCC
Graphics Designer

SICAM PAS Wizard
After defining a new station in the project the following steps takes
place
Import / Update of SICAM PAS – Data
o Import of SICAM PAS variables into the tag management
o Import of SICAM PAS
messages into the alarm
logging
o Import of SICAM PAS
measured and metered
values into the tag logging
o Generation of the SICAM
specific structure variables
and the required internal
variables

SICAM PAS Wizard
The SICAM PAS Wizard initializes the project
Import of the SICAM

symbol library
Setting of the SICAM
specific information system
Setting of the SICAM text
library
The initialization of the project can be done independent of the data

import. Therefore the configuration of the SICAM PAS CC project can
be started before readiness of the SICAM PAS projects.
The SICAM reporter records the activities of SICAM PAS Wizards and
provides information about success respectively failures and warnings.

Symbol Library
The Library contains

Objects for the switches
Objects for measured and
counted values
Templates for the Alarm
Logging
and furthermore
Filter for Event List

How to make graphic objects dynamic
Samples:
How can I display a switching device?
How can I display an analog value?
How can I display a single point message?

SICAM Symbol Library
Global Library
SIMATIC-graphical
objects
Project-Library
SICAM-graphical objects
Switchgear devices
The main difference between these 2 libraries is, that the SICAM-Library basically
contains energy technical objects. These are often dynamised, I.e. assigned to any
processing logic. The configurer just has to assign the necessary tags.
SICAM-Objects are prepared for the SICAM PAS Data structure.

Configuring a switching device
Double click the object - and browse for the status message of your breaker

Browsing for the tag
Do not double click!
The switchgear object needs to be assigned to the structure tag. This is why the
single components (Value, Validity, Cause…) are not shown here.
Assigning tags
Tag for status of

breaker
Tag for
acknowledging
blinking is always
the same
„QuitBlinking“
Tag for control will be assigned automatically

Configuring an analog value display
Double click or right hand

mouse click and
properties --- select your
analog (*.Counter !!)
Selecting the measurd value tag provides (different to switchgear objects) all components of the
data structure. For the full functionality we have to assign the desired tag with the extension
“Counter” (!).
The object internally also evaluates the tags “Value” and “Validity”.
Note: the default “MesuredValue.Counter” is not a valid tag name. It has to be replaced by the
desired measured value tag from your Tag Management!

The parameters
Assign desired analog tag xxx.counter
Further scaling function *)
Normal display colour
If device faulty
When overflow (e.g. more than 24mA)
If communication between PAS and PASCC fails
2 upper and 2 lower limits
The values for Upper and Lower Limits are related to the displayed values, i.e. they depend on the
scaling.
If no limits have to be displayed, we have to enter values which practically cannot be reached.
Displaying a voltage of 20kV, the Upper Limit 1 can be set to e.g. 100kV, the Upper Limit 2 to
110kV, the Lower Limit 1 to (minus) -100kV, the Lower Limit 2 to -110kV.
*) The divider is the 2. possibility of scaling in WinCC. The usual scaling is to be done in the Tag
Management (see next page).

How to scale analog values
In the tag properties we have to tic

linear scaling.
The Process Value Range means the
value coming from the PAS system.
The Tag Value Range means the value
to be displayed in the diagram
Value1 = minimum value Coming Will be

Value2 = maximum value from PAS displayed

How to display a single point message
In „Miscellaneous“ we find the attribute „Display“, which can display or hide the text with
a Yes or No.

Visible or invisible via a Dynamic Dialog
With a right hand mouse click you can choose „Dynamic dialog“

Configuring the Dynamic Dialog
First of all we have to choose the desired tag…

Selecting the tag
From all the components we have to choose *.Value, which carries the process value

Defining the logic
With Add we create Value ranges, in

column Up To the respective values are to
be entered and the attribute Display
defines, which value has to display and
which one to hide the text.
For Single Point messages following

process values are to be expected:
1=CLEARED
2=RAISED

Finished Dynamic Dialog
The Dynamic Dialog is always displayed by a red flash symbol.

The value in the column Static will be overwritten by the result of the logic in the Dynamic
Dialog.

If the compared keys were different, WinCC would pop up a message box to shut
down the Runtime.

26. Switching Authority
Definition of Switching Authority
Because of security reasons it is usually not allowed, that 2 operators have control
access to a substation at the same time
The Switching authority is the right of one operator (one Control station), to
control the substation via the control system, i.e. to execute commands.
At the same time this right was cancelled for all other operators.

SICAM symbol library
In the library we find 2 templates to control and monitor the switching

authority.

Configuring Button Switching Authority
We just have to assign our tag.
The text in runtime can

be „local“ or „remote“

Button Switching Authority in Runtime mode
Pressing the button just

inverts the current state.
With this button we just

can use 2 of 8 possible

Configuring Checkbox Switching Authority
It is made for testing reasons.

It can read and write all 8 bits.

How to test the Switching Auhority

executable, when Authority in “LOCAL” rejected, when Authority in “REMOTE”
An operation from the Remote Control Center should be just the opposite.

29. Redundancy
Definition
Redundancy means to double existing resources, to increase the security. During

undisturbed operation the doubled hardware would functionally not be necessary.
Redundancy in SICAM PAS can be implemented in various levels:
• 2 equally configured PAS/PQS systems (system redundancy)
• 2 communication channels to a sub-device (interface redundancy)
• 2 redundant configured sub-devices (device redundancy)
• System redundancy + interface redundancy or device redundancy = Full redundancy

System Switchover
System switchover because of outage of the process leading system

Both systems continuously exchange operation and und process data. This makes sure,
that both systems always have an own complete process image of the whole substation.
The system in standby mode detects the outage of the process leading system by
missing responds on requests. In this case the standby system automatically takes over,
and switches to leading mode.
Continuous status and process data exchange
29. SICAM PAS

System Switchover
On outage of the process leading Full Server, the Standby-Full Server takes over and
together all DIPs also switch over to the secondary system.
On outage of a DIP, only this one switches over. All not affected computers remain in
their current redundancy state.
The leading computer remains as active, even though the previously leading computer
would operate again. Primary Full Server Secondary Full Server

Communication with Control Center
Control Center (CC) supports two interfaces for communication with

redundant substation
independent mode
Control Center CC can establish two independent links to the redundant substation.
CC receives all information in monitoring direction but is only
allowed to send commands via one channel.
In case that CC keeps just one channel active and changes the
communication channel due to lost communication or for other reasons,
the SICAM PAS ensures that…
•An Event loss during switch over will

be avoided with Offline telegram buffer.

How to configure Dependency
29. SICAM PAS

Network Configuration for Redundant Systems
Redundant systems exchange process and system data among each other during
operation. Therefore they use a network adapter.
In order to minimize the risk of redundancy failures due to a network cable problem, we
strongly recommend the use of a teaming adapter for communication among the two
systems.
System redundancy only works when all SICAM PAS computers are in the same
domain with the same user logged in.
29. SICAM PAS

Network Configuration with several Network adapters
You have to define, which network adapter is to be used as a System Adapter (network
adapter connected to the redundant system).
After SICAM PAS SW installation and reboot, the installation program detects, if more
than 1 network adapter was available. Subsequently the tool MediaSenseCheck
automatically opens.
Can even be opened manually:
Program path C:\Siemens\Energy\SySrv\Bin\MediaSenseChk2.exe
29. SICAM PAS

Modifying the HOSTS file
The HOSTS file contains the assignment of IP address to computer name.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
You have to modify the file in all PAS/PQS computers.
Here just enter the IP address of the system adapters of both Full Servers and all DIPs
(and not IP addresses of any other network adapters).
The recommended procedure follows on the next pages.

34. OPC Communication with COM /
DCOM
What is OPC ?
OPC
stands for OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for Process Control
is the automation industry‘s version of OLE
provides an open, flexible, plug-and-play software standard for software
interoperability in the automation industry
specific to the automation industry and its' unique needs for data
communication (alarming, historical data access and trending, batch
and more)
OPC Foundation with now more than 220 companies, an independent

organization, is responsible for the specification.

35. OPC-XML-Server
Basics
OPC XML-DA Server is a protocol for SICAM PAS. Microsoft IIS-Server is used as Web-
Server for OPC XML-DA.
This allows data exchange of SICAM PAS with any OPC XML-DA Client.
OPC XML-DA Server and OPC XML-DA Client are installed on different PCs, the
communication runs on TCP/IP.
The open communication provides data exchange with other Systems, which are based
on Microsoft Windows, but also on other operating systems, e.g. LINUX.
OPC XML-DA Server supports the exchange of structured information (process data) via
Internet using XML (EXtensible Markup Language).
The OPC XML-DA Client can set protocol parameters through the OPC XML-DA Server
and can read and write all values, which in SICAM PAS UI have been mapped to OPC
XML-DA.

36. Automation with

Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. programming language ST
What is IEC 61131 ?
International Standard for programming of

programmable logic controllers (PLC)
Part 3 of the standard defines usable
programming languages:
Instruction list (IL)
Structured text (ST)
Functional block language (CFC)
Ladder diagram (LL)
Sequential function chart (SFC)
Further Standard parts define general information about PLCs, requirements on
equipment and tests, guidelines for users, communication
36. Automation with

Basics IEC 61131-3
There are 3 „components“ for programming, the so-called POEs (program

organisation unit):
Program (PROG)
Function Block (FB)
Function (FUN)
Each POE is structured into a declaration part and in a source code part
All variables are defined in the declaration part (internal, external, I/O variables)
The actual programming code is in the source code part, where the declared
variables can be used
declaration is necessary for all variables !
36. Automation with

IEC61131 - What are programs ?
Main program (multiple main programs

are possible)
top level execution unit in a PLC
for example a CFC chart or

a ST program
Starts with the keyword PROGRAM

and ends with END_PROGRAM
(These are not directly visible in SICAM PAS,
is internally managed by the Editor)
Be careful with re-naming of programs !
36. Automation with

IEC61131 - What are functions ?
Functions are subroutines
They will be invoked/called by a program

Functions have input values
Functions only have one return value
Functions can use internal variables,

their values are deleted after leaving the function
Standard functions are already defined in the Standard
Starts with the keyword FUNCTION and ends with END_FUNCTION
(not visible in PAS)
No recursion !

IEC61131 - What are function blocks ?
Function blocks are subroutines

They will be invoked/called by a program
Function blocks have input and output(return) values
Function blocks have a memory
Declaration of function blocks (see variables)
Function blocks can use internal variables, their values can be preserved after
leaving
Standard function blocks are already defined in the Standard
SICAM PAS CFC blocks are function blocks
Starts with the keyword FUNCTIONBLOCK and ends with
END_FUNCTIONBLOCK (not visible in PAS)

IEC61131 - Access to different variables
In SICAM PAS there is a special global program for interfacing variables. This
program does not include source code -> global data file „pasglob.poe“
Programs are able to access global variables of other programs using

VAR_EXTERNAL
like this it is possible to access interface variables
Function blocks are able to access global variables of their program via
VAR_EXTERNAL
better with input/output variables
Functions do not have access to global variables
36. Automation with

IEC61131 - Definition of own datatypes
It is possible to create your own datatype combining existing datatypes
Create a type file in SICAM PAS
SICAM PAS interface variables have their own type:

PASDATABLOCK, PASCOMMANDBLOCK, PASGROUP
Example:
TYPE
State : BYTE:=4;
END_TYPE
New type „State“
36. Automation with

IEC61131 - Arrays and Structures
It is possible to define an array variable

field1 : ARRAY[1..10] OF BOOL;
Access via field1[1], field1[2], ...
It is possible to define a structured variable

Test1 : STRUCT
Value1 : BOOL;
Value2 : BYTE;
END_STRUCT;
Access via Test1.Value1, Test1.Value2
Both possibilities also work with type definitions

How can I write my own Function Block?
Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. 37. ST Lab

Create an ST File
Here we declare variables
My new file
Here we have to write the code

Example: OR with 3 inputs

Result

New Example
We create a new Special_OR:
Not a boolean one, but für PAS data structure
3 Indication Inputs, 1 Indication Output
Exactly 2 of 3 inputs must be raised to raise the output

Declaration of variables
External Variables
Input Variables inputs of new FB
Output Variables ouputs of new block
PAS_CRI; Internal Variables processed within FB

Declaration of variables
Each Input is a PAS data structure
The Output is also a data structure
We use 3 times a SASS function block to read

the 3 messages
PAS_CRI;
And once a CRI block to derive the resultant
message
We use boolean values for all the inputs and for

the output as well for easier programming and
diagnostic reasons

Internally used PAS-Blocks
CRI creates an information structure e.g. for derived messages
SASS splits up an information structure into all it´s components

Programming Part
Set the Enable to TRUE and

Link the INPUT to IN_x
If message was raised,
then set VAL to 1
Oherwise to 0
LOGIC:
110 or
101 or
011
THEN OUT=1, otherwise 0
Create Indication,Enable = 1, Cause = spontaneous, Indictype= SP, Signal_1 receives current value
from the boolean variable OUT, Change to trigger the block, Send to execute during startup!
OUT_IND is the resultant variable and gets the result from CRI-output INDIC

New function block : Special_OR
Connect to PAS Connect to derived indication

Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. Alarm logging
A symbol for visualisation
This is important, whenever the operator is outside the Alarm List

Sample indications for the Runtime Mode
One or several indications have raised, and

have not yet been acknowledged.
Everything has been acknowledged, but

indications have still raised.
No raised unacknowledged indications, but

cleared unacknowledged.
All indications have cleared and have been

acknowledged.
The Alarm list is empty.

Creating Internal tag
This unsigned-8-Bit-Tag has to serve as

a group tag for indication states as well
as for acknowledgement state

Group Messages in Alarm Logging

Acknowledge-Bit State-Bit
0=no raised indication + everything acknowledged

1=Indication has raised + everything acknowledged
16=no indication has raised, but still unacknowledged
17=Indication has raised + not acknowledged
Creation in Graphics Designer
This has to be dynamised

(May be a character, a symbol or even the background of the Alarm List button)

Sample indications for the Runtime Mode
There are 3 logics to combine:
1. Display or hide
2. Display static or blinking
3. Display in red or green

1. Logic: Dynamic-Dialog „Font Color“
Next page
The color has to indicate, whether

indications have raised

1. Logic: Dynamic-Dialog „Font Color“
If State-Bit was set, then RED (static),

If not set, then GREY (invisible on a grey background)
Red
Grey
Note: First choose Data Type, then enter Tag

2. Logic: Dynamic-Dialog „Flashing Text Active“
Flashing has to indicate,

whether indications still
have to be acknowledged
Next page

2. Logic: Dynamic-Dialog „ Flashing Text Active“
If Acknowledge-Bit was set, then

Flashing,
If not set, then no Flashing

3. Logic: Flashing Text Colors
Flashing has to be a color

change between Red and Grey
(Raised and unacknowledged
indications)
Or between Green and Grey

(Cleared and unacknowledged
indications)
Invisible
Must be dynamic next page
Flashing Text Color On has to be dynamised

3. Logic: Dynamic-Dialog „Flashing Text Color On“
The Flashing Color depends on

the State-Bit only.
Red
Green

41. Sound output with WinCC Horn
WinCC Horn
The Horn function is linked to the „Alarm-Logging“.
If certain messages occur, an alarm sound can be generated,

e.g. if a new message was entered in the Alarm List.
The sound can be acknowledged, either with acknowledgement of the message in the
Alarm List, or by a separate button.
Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. 41. Sound output

Creating an internal Tag

Enter Message Class
Enter desired message class and assign your horn-Tag

Assign Sound File
Enter the tag once more for acknowledgement,

and enter a sound file (any wave-file)

Symbols for indication and acknowledgement
Global Library / Operations / Screen-Buttons

Acknowledging horn
Set the value of o binary variable – with the name Horn – to the value of 0

Displaying horn symbol..…
…when sounding
As the Horn tag is a binary tag, it corresponds with the values for the attribute Display, i.e. Yes and No refer to 1 and 0 (or True and False)

…when not sounding
Here, the inverse logic is required

Fine tuning
For optical representation we can

let some lines flashing

42. Topological coloring
Why Topological Colouring?
For an operator it may be important to know, which parts of the

switchgear are under voltage, and which parts are de-energized.
This is, what Topological Colouring provides.
Here the colour (the voltage) follows the state of the switching devices.
Ex.
Red = under voltage
Green= de-energized
Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved. 42. Topological coloring

Components in our library
Here we get
preconfigured objects
supporting dynamic
colouring

Most important components
Feeder = Source of colour

Provides colours for energized / de-energized
Connector = Lines to connect objects

e.g. lines or bus bars
Node = to connect 2 connectors

e.g. if a line meets a bus bar

3 Feeder Type Symbols
Feeder with indication

Changes colour depending on a message
(e.g. Bus bar energized Off / On green / red)
Feeder with measurement

Changes colour depending on a measured value
(e.g. < 1kV green = de-energized, > 1kV red = energized
Feeder with RGB input (Red-Green-Blue-Value)

Changes colour depending on an internal RGB-Tag

Feeder – Parameter page 1
Usually we do not
have do change
anything here.
Just having chosen
the type „with
measurement“, we
have to define the
switching point and
hysteresis
Open via double click on symbol

Feeder – Parameter page 2
Here we have to
assign the respective
tags.
*.Validity and
*.Value
Open via context menu, object properties

Example
Desired Necessary components

configuration
This will become the Bus Bar

How to connect connectors
Connecting 2 objects, a correct connection will be indicated by a colour

change of the connector point snapped in from green to red.
Snapped in Not snapped in

Readily connected components
The feeder and the switching devices have

now to be assigned to the appropriate tags
Then the connection scripts have to be

generated.

Error message when generating scripts
Following the link, the bad connection can easily be found

Testing in Runtime Mode
The nodes may be reduced to

size 0 to make them invisible

Earth symbol – A special case of a feeder
The Earth symbol is a special case of a feeder. It does

not need any tag or any other parameterization.
Having a fixed earth potential, the symbol can just
provide one colour (standard: magenta), to flood the
connected line with. The earth colour has a higher
priority than colours from other feeders
