Preface
Notes on Safety
This manual does not constitute a complete catalog of all safety measures required for operating
the equipment (module, device) in question because special operating conditions may require
additional measures. However, it does contain notes that must be adhered to for your own per-
sonal safety and to avoid damage to property. These notes are highlighted with a warning tri-
angle and different keywords indicating different degrees of danger.
Danger
means that death, severe injury or substantial damage to property will occur if the appropriate safety measu-
res are not taken.
Warning
means that death, severe injury or substantial damage to property can occur if the appropriate safety measu-
res are not taken.
Caution
means that minor injury or damage to property can occur if the appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Caution
means that damage to property can occur if the appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Note
is important information about the project, the handling of the product, or the part of the documentation in
question to which special attention must be paid.
Qualified Personnel
Commissioning
Commissioning and operation of the equipment (module, device) described in this manual must be perfor-
med by qualified personnel only. As used in the safety notes contained in this manual, qualified personnel
are those persons who are authorized to commission, release, ground and tag devices, systems, and elec-
trical circuits in accordance with safety standards.
Use as Prescribed
The equipment (device, module) must not be used for any other purposes than those described in the
Catalog and the Technical Description. If it is used together with third-party devices and components, these
must be recommended or approved by Siemens.
Correct and safe operation of the product requires adequate transportation, storage, installation, and
mounting as well as appropriate use and maintenance.
During the operation of electrical equipment, it is unavoidable that certain parts of this equipment will carry
dangerous voltages. Severe injury or damage to property can occur if the appropriate measures are not
taken:
• Before making any connections at all, ground the equipment at the PE terminal.
• Hazardous voltages can be present on all switching components connected to the power supply.
• Even after the supply voltage has been disconnected, hazardous voltages can still be present in the
equipment (capacitor storage).
• Equipment with current transformer circuits must not be operated while open.
• The limit values indicated in the manual or the operating instructions must not be exceeded; this also
refers to testing and commissioning.

or i n g vi
vi a SNMP
Nowadays, most networks implemented for the interconnection of control systems are based on
the Ethernet communication standard. Intelligent network structures implemented in switching
technology provide the basis for real-time data transmission. Redundant structures of the net-
work and the connected components can significantly improve the availability of the overall sys-
tem, since failures of individual components can be compensated. Features for the speedy and
convenient detection and display of faults are nevertheless required.
In SICAM PAS, you can configure such that the connections of system components in your
Ethernet network are monitored. Additionally, you can specify that the switches are monitored
amongst each other via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). The SNMP protocol is
based on UDP/IP.
To do this, select the SNMP application
SNMP application and the device to
device to be monitored as an SNMP switch in
the Configuration view

In SICAM PAS, this information is processed like all other process information. It can be forwar-
ded to higher-level control centers, SICAM PAS CC or SICAM Diamond.
Furthermore, you can form group indications from the individual fault indications.
In command direction, no information is available for SNMP devices.

Overview of Functions
4.1 Overview
4.1 Overview
SICAM PAS has been designed as a modular system with open communication interfaces. It
meets the requirements of state-of-the-art substation control and protection systems and of the
power management systems required for industrial manufacturing plants.
This modular structure also allows the flexible combination of the individual system functions.
Only those components which are actually required on an individual computer must be installed
and authorized.
The following sections provide an overview of the system components and their tasks.
The system components include:
 SICAM PAS UI - Configuration
 Automation functions
 SICAM PAS User Administration
 Feature Enabler
 SICAM PAS UI - Operation
 SICAM PAS Value Viewer
 SICAM PAS CC
 SICAM Recpro

4.2 SICAM PAS UI - Configuration
4.2 SICA M PA S UI - Co nf ig ur at io n
The SICAM PAS UI - Configuration system component is used for

 the configuration of your system and for
 the exchange of configuration data
4.2.1 Configuration
The clearly structured configuration interface provides you with a comprehensive overview of the
system parameters.
Individual elements of the user interface can be customized for specific users or hidden. For
example, new columns can be added to the tables of a vi ew; columns which are not needed can
be hidden. The settings are also maintained after a restart of the program.
Import and export functions allow for the exchange of configuration data. This reduces the
expenditure and error sensitivity during the configuration and parameterization of a system.
By means of conversion routines, project data from a SINAUT LSA station or data generated
with previous versions of the SICAM PAS UI - Configuration tool can be further used.
Predefined templates for devices, sorting and filter options, copy functions and the editing of
parameters using Microsoft Excel provide for increased transparency and flexibility and thus for
more convenient configuration.
Your system-specific automation functions are graphically configured. You can use both stan-
dard logic functions and specific automation blocks for the realization of your power automation
tasks.
Parameter entries are immediately checked for plausibility. Tooltips provide you with information
on permissible values and value ranges. The context-sensitive online help supports you effi-
ciently if you require detailed information.
Data configured for the runtime environment does not need to be configured explicitly.
For the creation of the project documentation, you can print out selected areas, such as the map-
pings of individual devices or of a control center interface.
SICAM PAS UI - Configuration structures the parameters in the following views:

 Configuration

 List
For connection to higher-level control systems, you must configure thetransmission list,
e.g. a general interrogation list, scan list, user-defined list or a periodical list. Next, select the
information to be transmitted to the control center in the Mapping view.
Use the SNMP component for the monitoring of your Ethernet connections. Add the corres-
ponding devices (switches) to the Port Failure and/or Redundancy Failure lists.
Via these lists in the Mapping view, select the information for which an alarm is to be trans-
mitted if an interruption of the connection is detected.
The configured components are represented in a tree structure; the parameters of the selected
component are displayed in the Properties window. Additionally, a description of permissible set-
ting options is provided for the selected property parameter.

Import
When adding individual components, it is often possible to apply already specified data. For
example, this import function can be used for bay devices, substations or SINAUT LSA systems.
Some protocols also support the specific import of mappings performed with other applications.
Export
In order to be able to use information defined in the Configuration in other sys tem components,
you must export it.
Afterwards, higher-level control centers, the SICAM PAS CC HMI or SICAM Diamond can
export this data. The information is now available for system management. It can be signaled,
controlled, reported or archived.
You can export the complete information from an interface (control center, PAS CC, Diamond,
several devices) or specifically export the mappings of an interface or an individual device.
Ar ch iv in g / Unarc hi vi ng
Additionally, the archiving and unarchiving of project data is initiated in the Configuration view.
When creating a new project, you can decide whether you want to archive the current project.
Printing
To document your project, you can also print the parameters of the component selected in the
view, e.g. interface parameters or the structure of configured components.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
Mapping
In this view, you can select which information relating to previously added devices and substati-
ons is to be used in your system, which information is to be transmitted to the control center and
which information is to be shown on the SICAM PAS CC HMI.
Mapping
Fig. 4-2 SICAM PAS - Mapping of device information
Select whether an individual item of information is to be transmitted despite the setting of a tele-
control or bay block, whether the switching authorization is to be checked upon a command out-
put or whether a command is subject to command output monitoring. On the project level, you
must previously define how many commands are issued simultaneously.
For the interface to higher-level control centers, define all related telecontrol addresses, the list
assignment and protocol type-specific parameters, such as command monitoring times, in this
view. Defined telegram addresses from devices and substations can be directly applied.
For the interface to the SICAM PAS CC HMI, select all information which is to be available for
logging, reporting, display and controlling. Information selected for the alarm logging system sys-
tem can be logged in the alarm list.
All measured and metered values which you select for the archive system are archived. They
can be evaluated e.g. in SICAM Valpro. All information available in the tag logging system can
be used in graphical representations, overview diagrams, system diagrams or detail diagrams.
No explicit mapping operations are required for the SICAM Diamond web application.
You can enter specific information, such as area text numbers, information text numbers, etc.,
for bay devices connected via the SINAUT LSA ILSA protocol.
For the SNMP Ethernet monitoring application, you must specify for each network address whe-
ther an alarm is created as soon as the switch has detected a connection problem.
Mappings of device information and mappings towards a control center can be printed out for
documentation purposes. To do this, select the monitoring or command direction and start the
print job.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
Topology
The Configuration view of your system is designed for communication purposes. In the Topo-
logy view, you can use the information from the Configuration view in order to create a system
view which is structured according to the requirements of an individual project.
Topology
Fig. 4-3 SICAM PAS topology, example of information of the SICAM PAS station
To do this, convert the configuration structure to a topological tree structure using menu com -
mands or create information levels, such as the Station, Voltage or Bay levels, and other freely
definable structure levels.
The topological structure created via menu commands already includes all related information
on each level. Next, assign to the related items of information the separately created Station, Vol -
tage and Bay levels and the user-defined group by dragging and dropping them directly from the
Configuration view. Of course, you can also move information within the topological structure.
To assign the individual hierarchical levels related items of information, you can use filter options
for the representation of information. For example, information types, names or the assignment
to a control center can serve as possible filter c riteria.
Additionally, you can define an individual switching authority for each of these hierarchical levels.
During operation, you can assign them the current switching authorization Local x or Remote x
via the graphic views o f SICAM PAS CC.
You can print out the topological structure of your system data for documentation purposes. To
do this, select the corresponding area, such as the structure or information, and start the print
job.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
Templates
Using the templates in the Templates view, you can define device- and project-specific device
descriptions and templates the for normalization of information.
Templates_1
Fig. 4-4 SICAM PAS templates, example
A sample device for each protocol is included in the scope of delivery of

SICAM PAS UI - Configuration. Furthermore, you can create your own device descriptions or
normalization templates. You can assign project-specific information names and addresses or
specify command execution times, assign commands and command feedbacks or define the
type of information.
To modify existing device descriptions or normalization templates, theCopy/Paste function can
serve as an efficient tool.
Furthermore, the configuration system allows you to copy items or areas of information into
Microsoft Excel in order to modify them and copy them back afterwards.
Various devices are available by default for the connection of the SNMP Ethernet monitoring
component. You can use them as templates. By means of the _SnmpSystemDevice, connection
problems can be grouped to group indications.
With the DNP 3.0 protocol, data can be transmitted in secure mode. To use this option, add a
certification package in the Templates view. This package must include all required safety cer-
tificates.
Device templates can be printed. To do this, select the required information in monitoring or com-
mand direction and then start the print job.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
4.2.2 Exchanging Configuration Data
If your SICAM Station is used in an interconnected system with several fully configured devices
or substations, you can import this configuration data into SICAM PAS UI - Configuration.
For example, substations defined with SICAM p lusTOOLS or project-specific information of bay
and protection devices defined with DIGSI can be integrated into SICAM PAS.
If this volume of information requires modifications, you can conveniently update project data
already imported.
Furthermore, system data defined with SICAM PAS UI - Configuration can be exported for
further use in higher-level control systems or HMIs such as SICAM PAS CC or Diamond.
Configuration data is exchanged via files in different formats, depending on the protocol of your
application.
Importing configuration data
Devices
Configuration data of bay and protection devices can be imported in the following formats:
 DBF
 DNP
 XML
 SCD
 ICD
For the IEC 61850 protocol, all devices included in an SCD file are imported and created auto-
matically when importing the SCD file. Individual devices are imported in the ICD format.
For the IEC 61850 and PROFIBUS FMS protocols, mappings of bay and protection devices can
be imported separately.
Substations
Configuration data of substations are imported in the following format:
 XML
SICAM LSA
Configuration data of the bay devices of a SICAM LSA system are imported from the set of LSA
parameters in the following format:
 LSA

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
Exporting configuration data
Control center
If SICAM PAS and the control center communicate via the IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104
protocols, the configuration data created with SICAM PAS UI - Configuration can be exported for
the connection of your system to higher-level control centers. Afterwards, this data is available
to your control system for import in the XML format.
SICAM PAS CC
Configuration data required for process visualization via SICAM PAS CC are exported in the
PXD format. Afterwards, this data is imported by the SICAM PAS Wizard and used for the gene-
ration of the Human-Machine Interface of your SICAM PAS system.
SICAM Diamond
Configuration data for the SICAM Diamond web a pplication is exported in the PDXDIA format.
Using the AdminTool, specify the path to this export file in SICAM Diamond in order to ensure
that process data can be shown and edited in the various views of SICAM Diamond (e.g. process
image, event list, control image, SingleLine Diagram).
Exchanging con figur ation data via OPC

If your SICAM PAS system works as an OPC Client, you can transfer data from the related OPC
Server. The OPC Browser provides a concise overview of available information and of informa-
tion which is already used. This is a convenient method for extending or reducing an already per-
formed data selection.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
4.3 Automation Functions
The SICAM PAS automation blocks form a comprehensive tool which allows for the implemen-
tation of individual solutions for operational automation tasks.
Automation functions are defined via SoftPLC, Structured Text (ST), the Statement List (STL) or
the Sequential Function Chart (SFC).
The SoftPLC allows for the graphical linkage of function blocks. Besides logic blocks such as
AND, OR, NOR, you can use a comprehensive library of system-tested power automation func-
tion blocks.
In this way, you can realize typical task definitions such as
 Command processing
 Command derivation
 Interlock tasks
 Indication processing
 Indication derivation
 Indication filtering
 Inversion and conversion of indications
 Group indications
 Transformer tap and bit pattern comparisons
 Measured- and metered-value calculation
 Non-linear characteristic
 Limit value monitoring
 Slave pointer
 Mean-value generation
 Arithmetic and comparison blocks
 Switching sequences
Simple configuration rules allow for the convenient definition and interpretation of function
charts; the chart-to-chart technology provides for a comprehensive overview.
For configuration via SICAM PAS UI - Configuration, you can simply select information required
for your automation tasks and group commonly used information (if required).

4.8 Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
In the SICAM PAS system, SICAM PAS CC performs the control and display functions related
to the process information of your system.
Functional and spatial interactions of your system components are represented conveniently in
the overview and system diagrams of SICAM PAS CC.
Changes in the state of your process information and control actions are logged chronologically
in lists, such as alarm and event lists.
You can intervene in the process and control it from the system diagrams. If the data transmis-
sion is interrupted, you can manually update the current switching state.
The topological coloring of connected system sections provides for a concise overview of the
system and thus facilitates system management.
System data, such as messages and measured values, can be logged and saved in freely defi-
nable archives.
The assignment of specific authorizations, the use of bay and telecontrol blocks, different swit-
ching modes and switching authorities complement the control functions. For more information
on these functions, refer to Chapter 4.10.
Communication with the SICAM Station is performed via Ethernet (TCP/IP). The connection can
be implemented in redundant configuration.
SICAM PAS CC consists of the SIMATIC WinCC process visualization system and the

4.8.1 SIMATIC WinCC
SIMATIC WinCC provides standard function modules for the graphical representation, reporting,
archiving and logging of information. With its powerful process interface, fast display refresh
rates and safe data archiving functions, it ensures high avail ability of your system data.
4.8.2 SICAM PAS CC Components
The SICAM PAS CC components extend the SIMATIC WinCC standard functionality by special
functions required for the use of the HMI for power automation.
SICAM PAS Wizard

The SICAM PAS Wizard supports you in the configuration of your project.
Import
After the creation of a station, you can use the SICAM PAS Wizard to import SICAM PAS infor-
mation which was previously configured with the SICAM PAS UI - Configuration tool.
The import includes:
 Import of the SICAM PAS tags into the SICAM PAS CC tag logging system
 Import of the SICAM PAS messages into the SICAM PAS CC alarm logging system
 Import of the SICAM PAS measured and metered values into the SICAM PAS CC tag log-
ging system
 Generation of SICAM-specific structure tags and internal tags
Initialization
The SICAM PAS Wizard initializes the project. Within the framework of the initialization:
 the SICAM graphic object library is imported
 the SICAM-specific alarm logging system is created
 the SICAM text library is created
The initialization can be performed independently of the import of the SICAM PAS data. You can
start the configuration of the SICAM PAS CC project before the completion of the project via
The activities of the SICAM PAS Wizard are logged in the SICAM Report which provides detailed
information on the success of the activities or shows error messages and warnings.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
SICAM PAS graphi c object lib rary

The SICAM PAS graphic object library includes
 objects for the representation of the switching devices
 objects for the visualization of measured and metered values
 window templates for alarm logging (templates for the event list, alarm list and the protection
message list)
 control elements for the control of the switching authority, for synchronized switching, etc.
 control elements for message list entries in order to define, during runtime, what updates of
process information trigger entries into the lists.
symbib
Fig. 4-11 SICAM graphic object library
When creating your system diagrams, you simply move these graphic objects via Drag&Drop
from the library to your diagram. Afterwards, you connect them with the information defined using
Switching device objects

IndustrialX Controls are used in SICAM PAS for the visualization and control of switching
devices. 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 repre-
sentation modes each:
 SICAM
 DIN 42200
 IEC 445 and
 LSA
If other representation options are required, you can assign the different states special bitmaps
which have been defined for this purpose. The GIF format ensures optimum display perfor-
mance.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
Bay overview objects

Bay overview objects are available in the SICAM PAS graphic object library. These IndustrialX
Controls visualize the switching status of the entire bay. To set parameters, you select the indi-
vidual switching devices whose color is to change when the switching state changes. Bay over-
view objects improve the display of elements in your overview diagrams.
Status display
The status display graphically visualizes the following states: Not topical, WIN CC Status not
OK, Bay Blocking, Telecontrol Blockin g and Substituted.
Via a context menu, you can show the current status of a selected information object in text form.
The representation of the individual states through the use of different colors in the graphic dis-
play can be specifically selected to meet the requirements of individual users.
Dynamic d isplay pro perties

If a distinction must be made between synchronized and unsynchronized controlling of a swit-
ching device, you can activate the corresponding functionality in the switching device object. The
control dialogs are extended and the control method can be defined during 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
tags), no control dialog is shown.
Two-step controlli ng
The switching devices are controlled in two steps using IndustrialX Controls. The switching direc-
tion is selected in the first step, whereas the command output is initiated in the se cond step (also
refer to Chapter 4.8.6).
If a sub-device supports the Select-before-Operate function, it can be combined with the two-
step method.
EnableSwitching
Depending on other tags, the display of control dialogs can be disabled during runtime. For
example, this feature is used if the switching authority changes between several operator termi-
nals in a SICAM WinCC Client/Server configuration.
PermissionLevel
In the WinCC Properties dialog, you can specify user authorizations in order to determine
which operator actions or parameter settings can be performed by which operator.
LabelButton
With this parameter in the WinCC Properties dialog, you can specify object-specific texts for run-
time dialogs e. g. Step up/Step down for the transformer control.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
Language switching
The default version of SICAM PAS CC provides configuration and runtime dialogs in German
and English.
However, all texts used in these configuration and runtime dialogs are stored in text files. They
can be easily translated into other languages.
SICAM PAS CC Alarm Lo ggin g - Alarm Li sts

In the SICAM PAS CC alarm lists, incoming alarms are logged with the absolute time stamps
from bay devices or substations. The time stamp and the state are complemented by additional
information. Examples of additional information: Cause, event source, status information, pro-
tection times, etc.
Besides the values ON/OFF and RAISED/CLEAR, the value display also comprises fault positi-
ons (double-point indications) and bit pattern indications.
Value texts can be specifically defined, e.g. for Step Up/Down. You can create up to eight diffe-
rent 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 (if required) have arrived.
Status of devices
SICAM PAS CC visualizes the status of the device connections to the SICAM PAS Station. If the
connection is lost, the color of the switching device objects and measured-value objects in the
diagram changes.
Additionally, the device status can be logged in the event lists.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
4.8.3 SICAM Valpro
SICAM Valpro is an optional system component which uses the measured and metered values
from the SICAM PAS CC archiving system (SIMATIC WinCC Tag Logging).
SICAM Valpro displays archived values in graphical or tabular form. The following values are
evaluated:
 original values
 maximum, minimum and average values in different time intervals, e. g. 15 minutes or h ourly
values
 power factors
 sum/difference values of metered values in different time intervals
If the user combines measured and metered values to groups, this data is available in group files
for evaluation by other programs.
The representation style in diagrams can be freely defined with regard to many properties, such
as curve type or background.
The 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 curve window or positio-
ned independently. The cursor position in the curve window correlates to the first displayed table
row.
Graphical representations and tables can be printed out.
Tables with archive data can be exported in the CSV format, whereas text reports can be expor-
ted in the text format in order to make them avai lable for further processing in other programs
(such as Excel).
SICAM Valpro can be used on the SIMATIC WinCC Server or on clients. Alternatively, it can also
be operated independently of SIMATIC WinCC. For offline e valuation, use the group files which
you have created with SICAM Valpro in the SIMATIC WinCC environment.
SICAM Valpro requires an individual authorization for each computer.
For more information regarding SICAM Valpro, refer to the following document:
SICAM, Manual Measured/Metered Value Processing Utility SICAM Valpro /6/.

fault records. It can also be used independently of SICAM PAS CC.
For protection devices connected to SICAM PAS via the IEC 60870-5-103, PROFIBUS FMS,
IEC 61850 or SINAUT LSA ILSA protocols, the fault records in these devices are automatically
transmitted. These fault records are archived automatically in communication-specific directories
on the Full Server or DIP. Additionally, fault records can be stored in redundant source and group
archives for evaluation using SICAM Recpro.
SICAM Recpro consists of the following components:
 SICAM Recpro Explorer
for the management and evaluation of fault records in combination with an evaluation tool
 SICAM Recpro Collector
for the creation and management of a central fault record archive
 ComtradeView
for the visualization of fault records
SICAM Recpro provides additional, complementary features such as

 the customization of channel texts in fault records via device-specific channel text files, also
from third-party devices
 functions for the export of fault records in the Comtrade format and of an overview of the con-
tents of the fault-record archive in a text file
 Import of external fault records in the Comtrade format
 Zone Diagram evaluation function based on a fault-value file in the RIO format.
Note:
SIGRA 4 can be used for comprehensive and sophisticated fault record analysis. This analysis
tool calculates further values and graphically represents the fault records in different views.
The SICAM Recpro Collector requires an individual authorization for each computer.
For more information on SICAM Recpro, refer to the following document:

4.10 Station Control Functions
SICAM PAS provides numerous functions which are tailored to the requirements of station con-
trol tasks. For example, SICAM PAS provides functions for the definition of blocking conditions,
for the manual update of switching states and for monitoring the number of commands i ssued in
parallel:
 Switching authority
 Bay blocking
 Telecontrol blocking
 Time synchronization
 Fault recording
4.10.1 Switching Authority
In distributed systems, the switching authority defines which level has the switching authority.
The bay control layer, the station control level or the control center level can have the switching
authority.
Besides local/remote switching through the key switches of the bay devices, the user can also
distinguish between local and remote control on the station control level.
The switching authority can be defined for the specific channel, i. e. one telecontrol channel has
the switching authority, whereas the other channels and the local control have no authority.
Additionally, you can define an individual switching authority for each topological level, such as
voltage-level-specific authorizations. The switching authority is assigned by SICAM PAS CC
during operation. In the example below, only the TC2 telecontrol channel has the switching
authority.

To perform maintenance tasks on a feeder, it can be useful to interrupt the data exchange with
the bay devices in control and monitoring direction.
Bay blocking can be activated or deactivated for a specific device.
If a bay block is set, value changes of process information and status information are usually not
transmitted.
During configuration, you can also determine whether individual items of information are to be
transmitted despite a bay block.

Ethernet station bus

In system configurations with an Ethernet station bus, a separate time master can be used on
the Ethernet. This master functions as an SNTP server (Simple Network Time Protocol) and syn-
chronizes all connected devices and SNTP clients.
The SICAM PAS Station also acts as the SNTP client with regard to the time synchronization.
Nevertheless, it synchronizes the devices connected to the SICAM PAS Station via other proto-
cols.

6.1 Sample Configuration
Dealing with SICAM PAS UI - Configuration is illustrated by means of a simple sample configu-
ration.
Configure a SICAM PAS Full Server
 which communicates with a higher-level control center via IEC 60870-5-104,
 which comprises a SICAM PAS CC HMI for system management,
 and to which a 7SJ62 bay device with a modified sample configuration and a DNP 3.0 sample
device are to be connected via IEC 61850.
The User Administration tool is not enabled. For DNP 3.0, the example does not include secured
data transmission via certificates.
Proceed as follows:
• Start the SICAM PAS UI - Configuration application.
• Select the Configuration view and configure the system components.
• Open the Mapping view and select all required items of information in command and moni-
toring direction.
• Open the Topology view and specify a system-oriented structure for the configured data.
• Export the system data for further processing by SICAM PAS CC.
• Print the components of your system configuration.
The suggested procedure illustrates the individual stages of the co nfiguration of a station. It does
not provide a complete system configuration and does not describe specific functions and para-
meters.

First Steps
6.3 Mapping of Information
As soon as you have added all the components required for the sample project, you can map
information. You define what information from bay devices is to be used and whether it has to be
transmitted to the control center or used by the PAS CC Human-Machine Interface. These defi-
nitions have to be performed separately for the monitoring direction and the command direction.
• Open the Mapping view.
6.3.1 Information from Bay Devices
IEC 61850 Cli ent

• Select the device connected to the IEC 61850 Clien t interface.
• In the Monitoring Direction window, select all items of information to be transferred to the
higher-level Control Center_Remote and/or to be shown and/or logged on your
SICAM PAS CC workstation Control Center_Local.
• Modify the default settings for the individual items of information in theCheck All cell of the
Blocking column. Select Check Telecontrol Bl ocking if the information is to be transmitted
despite a telecontrol block. Select Check Bay Blockin g if the information is to be transmitted
despite a bay block. If you select Ignore All, the information is transmitted despite a bay
block or telecontrol block.
• Select all information to be controlled for the command direction.
• Modify the default settings for the individual items of information in theCheck All cell of the
Blocking column. Proceed in the same way as described for the monitoring direction.
• In the Switching Authority column, deselect the setting for some items of information.
in order to ensure that it can be controlled without previous assignment of the switching
authority.
• Deselect the setting for some items of information in theM of N Check column. This ensures
that the command is not subject to output monitoring.
SICAM PAS monitors the number of commands which can be issued simultaneously. This
number must be configured on the project level.

First Steps
6.4 Defining the System Topology
So far, your project data is structured exclusively in views designed for configuration and con-
nection purposes. In SICAM PAS, you can also show your data in a topological view of the sys-
tem and the process.
• Open the Topology view.
• Select SICAM PAS, add a station and change the name to Station 1.
• Select Station 1, add a voltage level and change the name to 20 kV.
• Select the 20 kV voltage level, add two boxes and change the names to F01 and F02.
• Select F01, add a user-defined group and change the name to Measured Values.
• Select the 20 kV voltage level. In the Properties window, select Yes in the Acti vate speci fi c
switching authority box.
A tag is now created in the Name of switching authority i nformation box. In SICAM PAS CC,
you can use this tag for the assignment of the switching authority for this voltage level.

E50417-X8976-C044-A7, Edition 05.2007
First Steps
If you use the Create Topology function, the configured structure is shown as a topological
structure with user-defined groups. The information is automatically assigned to the correspon-
ding structure level. You can also define individual structure levels, such as Station or Bay, and
move information to these levels.
To use the topological view of your system data for the evaluation and management of fault
records in SICAM Recpro, some special rules have to be applied when setting the parameters.
