E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
Introduction
1.1 System Types
1.1 System Types
SICAM PAS can be operated in two different configurations:

SICAM PAS configured as a stand-alone system runs completely on a stand-alone computer.
The SICAM PAS Full Server, the SICAM PAS data distribution system, the RDBMS and the user
interface are located on this computer. Protocol drivers and additional SICAM PAS components
can also reside on this computer.
SICAM PAS configured as a distributed system runs on several computers. The following rules
apply in this configuration:
One of these computers is used as the SICAM PAS Full Server. The SICAM PAS data
distribution system, the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) and the user
interface are located on this computer. Protocol drivers and certain other applications can
also reside on this computer.
Every distributed SICAM PAS configuration must have exactly one SICAM PAS Full Server.
The other computers in this configuration are operated as Device Interface Processors
(DIPs). The protocol drivers and in some cases also the user interface reside on these
computers.
Both SICAM PAS types are installed using the same installation routine. The installation process
of these two SICAM PAS types is almost identical. During the installation, you only need to
specify whether the computer is to be operated as a stand-alone system/SICAM PAS Full Server
or as a Device Interface Processor. It is nevertheless essential to understand which type of
system you are installing.
Note
To install a distributed SICAM PAS system, it is important to install the SICAM PAS Full Server
before any other Device Interface Processor and to ensure that the SICAM PAS Full Server is
connected to the network and operational.

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
Introduction
1.2 Installation Variants
The following SICAM PCC variants can be installed:

demo version and
licensed version
The SICAM PAS installation CD holds all files relating to the software components. During the
installation process, you must specify whether a licensed version or a demo version is to be
installed.
Demo version
The Demo mode does not require a dongle and optional features do not need to be enabled via
passwords.
SICAM PAS is installed as a stand-alone system (see Chapter 1.1) in the demo version.
In Demo mode, SICAM PAS runs approximately three hours. After three hours, all protocol
drives and the central server stop, but the configuration manager still runs. Each time you reboot
your computer, the optional features require another three hours. Be aware of the following
additional restrictions:
Projects created in the demo version cannot be used in the full version.
Distributed SICAM PAS functions (i. e. operation of several computers in one single SICAM
PAS system) are not supported by the demo version.
Licensed version
The Licensed mode does not require a dongle. Optional features can be enabled by means of
passwords.
In the licensed version, SICAM PAS can be installed and operated both as a stand-alone
system and as a distributed system (see Chapter 1.1).

Installation Requirements 2
Overview
SICAM PAS is a 32-bit application with specific requirements with regard to the hardware
components and the operating system. Additionally, it must be ensured that the network has
been properly installed.

2.4 Further Requirements 29

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
Installation Requirements
2.1 Configuring the Windows Network Operation
2.1 Configuring the Windows Network Operation
Be aware of the items mentioned below when operating SICAM PAS. TCP/IP must be installed
in every case, i. e. even in a stand-alone system.
Your computer must be assigned a valid TCP/IP name. Be aware that TCP/IP name
conventions are stricter than Windows conventions. The most common mistake in selecting
host names is assigning a name which includes one or more blanks or special characters.
For example, My PC is a valid name under Windows. Due to the blank included, it cannot be
used with TCP/IP.
TCP/IP must be configured before the SICAM PAS installation. SICAM PAS cannot be
installed properly without a configured TCP/IP. The use of an Ethernet adapter facilitates the
configuration of TCP/IP.
Power saving features: Many hardware components have so-called power saving features
installed, usually as part of the BIOS on the computer. These features slow down or stop the
system CPU during a period of inactivity. Additionally, the screen display enters the save
mode, the hard disk stops rotating, etc. As almost no industrial standards are available for
these features, they may vary significantly depending on the individual manufacturer and
model. For this reason, we cannot warrant that the SICAM PAS software runs without any
problems if these features have been enabled.
The configuration may require some additional steps, especially if you want to operate
SICAM PAS in a network with other computers. These steps also include the creation of an
LMHOSTS file (for the assignment of IP addresses to computer names), the configuration of
an ftp server, the DNS (Domain Name Services) configuration, etc. As they are not required
for the operation of SICAM PAS, they are not described in the present manual - please refer
to the corresponding Windows documents.
For a distributed SICAM PAS system, the Windows network interfacing must be configured
on each computer in the system.
For a remote computer, it is recommended to configure Windows on the SICAM PAS
computer in such a way as to ensure that the computer reboots automatically after a failure.
Refer to your Windows documentation for instructions.

SICAM PAS Features and Further Information
5.1 SICAM PAS Features
This section describes how features can be enabled.
5.1.1 General Information
Software protection for SICAM PAS

The SICAM PAS features are distributed among several software modules, most of which are
optional. To facilitate the installation of the SICAM PAS software, the delivered CD-ROM
includes the software modules of the basic system (e. g. SICAM PAS main program) as well as
all optional features.
A dongle is required for the installation of the basic system (licensed version).
Optional features must be enabled using the correct password. These passwords are only valid
for one single dongle. If you purchase several SICAM PAS licenses, you receive a separate kit
including one dongle each as well as the correct passwords. The passwords relating to a dongle
can only be used with this individual dongle. Store these passwords in a safe place - you will
need them again in case of a SICAM PAS reinstallation.
Before the start of the SICAM PAS software components, the system checks whether the
entered password matches the data stored in the dongle. During the execution of the
components, the system checks at regular intervals whether the dongle is still available.
If this dongle is missing or removed during operation, the SICAM PAS software runs for
approximately 5 minutes. Afterwards, the SICAM PAS functionality is restricted.

5.2 Several SICAM PAS Versions Installed on the Same PC
General information
VMware 5.x allows you to operate several virtual computers ("virtual machines") from one single
computer. Each virtual computer behaves like an autonomous computer with an individual audio/
video and network interface card and an individual hard disk. You can switch between the virtual
computers by clicking the mouse button.
Set up a virtual computer to operate two SICAM PAS versions (e. g. SICAM PAS V5.10 and
SICAM PAS V6.00) in parallel on the same computer. On the real computer (with host operating
system), install SICAM PAS V6.00: On the virtual computer (with guest operating system), install
SICAM PAS V5.10.
Alternatively, you can install the two SICAM PAS versions on two virtual computers.
Note
Virtual computers may only be run with operating systems released for SICAM PAS (see
Chapter 2.3).
As the use of special PC communications cards (CP5613/14, USB) is not supported by

VMware 5.x, only the PAS UI - Configuration and Feature Enabler components can be
executed. In order to ensure that the PAS UI - Operation and Value Viewer components and
the runtime system (DSI) operate properly, standard COM interfaces should be used.
For the reasons menitoned above, two SICAM PAS versions should only be installed on a
computer which is exclusively used for the configuration of SICAM PAS systems.
Virtual computers
VMware supports the following three different variants of virtual computers:
VMware Workstation
VMware Server
With VMware Server virtual computers are accessed via the VMware Console.
VMware Player
With the VMware Player, you can only run an existing virtual computer. However, you can
neither create a new virtual computer nor modify an existing one, since the VMware Player
does not support these operations.
In order to be able to execute the steps described below, the VMware Workstation must have
been installed according to the corresponding instructions.

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
Setting up the virtual computer

To install SICAM PAS on a virtual computer, the following settings must be specified in the
VMware Workstation:
Under Settings, modify the COMx settings to Physical serial port. Specify this setting for all
COM ports required for the SICAM PAS configuration.
pasinst52.tif
Fig. 5-4 Microsoft Virtual PC, specifying settings for the COM interface
Under Settings, modify the LPT1 settings to Physical parallel port to ensure that the dongle is
detected.

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
Under Settings, modify the settings for Networking. Select the Shared Networking (NAT)
setting for the adapter used.
This setting is required in order to be able to access the LAN of the host operating system from
the guest operating system (virtual computer), e. g. to set up a SICAM PAS DIP installation with
connection to a SICAM PAS Full Server database on another computer.
The LAN settings of the guest operating system must be checked in this case (see paragraph
below).
pasinst53.tif
Fig. 5-5 Microsoft Virtual PC, settings
For the Internet protocol (TCP/IP), activate Automatically integrate IP address in the
properties. Next, check the connection to any other computer in the LAN via Ping.
Install the Virtual Machine Additions for the virtual computer. These additions are e. g. used
to transmit files from the host operating system to the guest operating system via Drag&Drop.
Installing SICAM PAS

To install SICAM PAS, the virtual computer (guest operating system) must run on the console
and be able to access the SICAM PAS installation CD.
For more detailed information on how to install SICAM PAS on the virtual computer, refer to
Section 3.
Note
You can install both the Full Server and the Device Interface Processor (DIP) on a virtual
computer.

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
5.3 Installing a Modem
Overview
IEC 60870-5-101 is a protocol that is widely used for communication with remote terminal units.
In a typical configuration, SICAM PCC is the IEC 60870-5-101 master station which
communicates with a substation. This substation acts as a master for different bay devices. From
the perspective of SICAM PCC, this RTU can be considered to be acting as a "proxy" for these
bay devices.

Fig. 5-6 Example of a configuration based on the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol
In such a configuration, the substation can be communicate with SICAM PAS through a serial
connection (COM port) using either a dedicated (leased) telephone line or a dial-up connection
(via modem).
If a modem connection is used, the modem must have been properly installed on the SICAM
PCC station computer. Modems can be installed via the Windows Control Panel.
The following modems can be used:
ISDN modem (INSYS ISDN for miniRTU)
ISDN card (e. g. AVM ISDN FRITZ! CARD PCI V2.0)
Analog modem (INSYS modem 336 for miniRTU)
Installing a modem
To install a modem for an IEC 60870-5-101 interface under Windows XP:
• To open the Windows Control Panel, click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
• Double-click on Phone and Modem Options. The Phone and Modem Options dialog
opens.
• Select the Modems tab.

pasinst62.tif
Fig. 5-9 Selecting a modem
• Select your modem (ISDN or analog modem) from the Install New Modem window.
Note
For the modem link to work properly, the miniRTU must be configured in such a way that the
INSYS modem uses the same data transmission protocol as the modem on the SICAM PCC
computer.
In the example above, the data protocol is V.110. In this case, the configuration string e.g. of an
ISDN modem would be: ATE0&KS0=1&C1&D2V1X0B0N4&WZ (the most important value is B0,
since it defines the type of protocol).
The configuration string must be modified accordingly if an analog modem is used (refer to the
operating instructions of the analog modem).
The following applies for the selection of the protocol:
Connect two ISDN modems based on the X.75 protocol. In the configuration string of the
INSYS ISDN TA modem, the B0 value changes to B10.
Connect an ISDN modem to a GSM modem based on the V.110 protocol.

pasinst63.tif
Fig. 5-10 Listed modems
Using an ISDN card

An ISDN card (e. g. AVM ISDN FRITZ! CARD PCI V2.0) can be used as an alternative to a
modem.
To use the ISDN card with SICAM PAS, the AVM ISDN CAPI port driver must be installed.
The installation of the driver and of the virtual modem is described in detail in the ISDN card
installation manual of the corresponding manufacturer.
When installing the driver, you can select from numerous installable virtual modems.
To use it under SICAM PAS, it is recommended to install modems working with the X.75
protocol, such as:
AVM ISDN - ISDN (X.75)
AVM ISDN Mailbox (X.75)
The virtual modems can be selected from the Modem Parameters dialog after their installation
in order to use them under SICAM PAS.
Note
If the ISDN card is also used by other programs, these programs must be deactivated before
using the card for SICAM PAS. Otherwise, these programs may cause communication
problems.

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

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

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
6.1 Installing the Network Time Protocol Daemon
6.1 Installing the Network Time Protocol Daemon
To initialize the Hopf6039 card, the related software must be installed as soon as the card has
been inserted. This software component is installed together with a
Network Time Protocol Daemon (NTPD).
The NTPD is automatically installed together with SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC. This NTPD
allows for even more precise time synchronization than the one provided by Hopf.
To install a Hopf6039 card, we therefore recommend to proceed as follows:
• Insert the Hopf6039 card in the computer.
• Next, install the software for your Hopf6039 card.
The software is required for the initialization of the card.
• Uninstall the NTPD (see below).
• Install SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC.
The NTPD delivered with SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC is also installed.
Uninstalling NTPD
To uninstall the Network Time Protocol Daemon:
• Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
• Double-click Administrative Tools. The Administrative Tools window opens.
• Double-click Services. The Services window opens.
• Right-click on Network Time Protocol and
• select Exit from the context menu in order to exit the service.
• Select Start > Run.
• Enter ...\instsrv remove and click OK to uninstall the service.
The instsrv.exe file can be found in the directory of the Hopf installation.

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
6.2 Network Time Protocol Daemon
For the configuration of the NTPD, knowledge about its main functions is required. Some NTPD
functions and terms are illustrated below.
Server, client and peer

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

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

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

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
For compatibility reasons, the time stamp is assigned the ClockSync and ClockValid status
bits. These bits are set depending on the quality of the time stamp:
high
The ClockSync and ClockValid status bits are set.
medium
The ClockValid status bit is set.
low
No status bit is set.
unknown
No status bit is set.

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
6.3 Clock Driver
6.3 Clock Driver
Two clock drivers are available. They were modified in such a way that they ensure proper time
synchronization in the SICAM PAS system.
Driver for the Hopf6039 card
Shared memory clock driver
6.3.1 Driver for the Hopf6039 card
The Hopf6039 clock is a PCI card with a DCF77 or GPS receiver. With a time precision of the
clock of one millisecond, the operating system can achieve a resolution of up to one millisecond.
Using the modified driver (included in the scope of delivery of SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC) for
the Hopf6039 card, the resolution can be improved in edge polling mode.
The quartz oscillator integrated in the Hopf6039 card is more stable than the oscillator of a
standard PC. By combining the Hopf6039 card with NTPD, a time precision of less than one
millisecond can be maintained for another two hours even if no time signal can be received (after
a stabilization phase of several hours).
Different modes can be set on the modified driver in order to determine the behavior of the driver
in case of error (i.e. no time signal received from the clock). The driver can increase the value of
the stratum and mark the clock as erroneous.
A typical line in the configuration file for a Hopf6039 card provides the following type of
information:
server 127.127.39.0 mode 53 minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 prefer iburst
The mode 53 parameter must be interpreted as a bit pattern (decimal value). The tables below
illustrate the significance of the bits.
Table 6-1 Bit pattern, mode 53
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Bit Pattern 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1
Value 1 1 5

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
6.3 Clock Driver
Table 6-2 Parameter mode
Bit position Meaning
Bits 0 ...3 stratum drop

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

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

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

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
6.3 Clock Driver
Table 6-3 Dropout mode
dropout stratum Meaning

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

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
6.3 Clock Driver
6.3.2 Shared Memory Clock Driver
Using a shared memory clock driver, the time in a SICAM PAS system can be synchronized
based on telecontrol protocols.
The ntp.conf comprises four blocks for time synchronization via telecontrol protocols. A typical
block has the following structure:
server 127.127.28.0 mode 33 minpoll 2 maxpoll 10
fudge 127.127.28.0 stratum 1
The third address section (assigned the value 28 in the example below) defines the type of clock
driver. The fourth address section (0 in the example) is used to distinguish between clocks of the
same type.
mode
mode 33 (refer to Section 6.4) is an extended mode (0x01) including the monitoring for timeout.
In the fudge line, the value 1 is specified for the stratum.
In a SICAM PAS system, only modes 1 and 33 can be used for time synchronization via
telecontrol protocols.
With mode 33, timeout monitoring is automatically included. This is the most convenient mode.
When using Mode 1, the values of the minpoll and maxpoll parameters must be selected very
carefully in order to match the synchronization frequency of the telecontrol center.
The minpoll parameter must be set in such a way as to ensure that 2^minpoll is greater than
the synchronization interval of the control center. The maxpoll parameter must also be set to
this value.
minpoll and maxpoll

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

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
6.4 Configuration File for NTPD
When installing SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC, an ntp.conf configuration file is copied into the
...\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc directory. Use this file to configure the NTPD (Network Time
Protocol Daemon).
The time servers are indicated in the configuration files of the clients. However, the clients are
not indicated in the configuration files of the servers. A time client can therefore be conveniently
added to a system. Only the configuration file of the new client needs to be edited.
The configuration file already includes some comments on its contents. The following section
provides information about important entries.
For more detailed information, refer to the following web site: http://www.ntp.org.
General settings
#---------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

# -- local system clock

# the local system clock is used as level 10 fallback if everything fails and
# the server must continue to operate because of (S)NTP clients like
# IEC61850 devices et al.

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

# channel 3
# channel 4

E50417-M8976-C045-A7, Edition 06.2007
These lines are required in order to use shared memory clock drivers. They are used for time
synchronization via telecontrol protocols.
mode
Via mode 33 (see Table 6-2), you can define adaptive polling. During adaptive polling, the
frequency of the poll is automatically adjusted to the poll result. If the result rarely changes,
polls are performed less frequently.
minpoll, maxpoll
The minpoll and maxpoll parameters must be specified in such a way that the range
matches the current synchronization rate of the control center as precisely as possible.
Peers
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# peers: all time sync peers in a PAS installation
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If the local system has reference clock access, mention all other systems
# (full servers and dips) in a PAS installation that can also access reference
# clocks. Peers will negotiate the leader of the pack...
# minpoll 2 -> 4s / maxpoll 6 -> 64s, iburst -> initial burst poll
#peer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 iburst
If one Full Server and one or several DIP(s) are used, the synchronization sources can be
distributed amongst the computers used (HOPF6039 on the Full Server, telecontrol protocols on
the DIP). To do this, activate the peer line.
In this case, the computers must determine amongst each other which clock time is most
suitable. Since the classical server/client relationship cannot be applied in this context, all
computers involved must be configured as peers (i.e. "colleagues" with the same priority). Data
is exchanged on a bidirectional basis in order to ensure that synchronization can be performed
by both computers (systems).
Servers
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# servers
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If the local system has no reference clock access, mention all systems that
# have reference clock access here. If there is a network path to an external

#server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 iburst
The following lines serve as examples for the definition of time servers. The information in these
lines can be used for demo purposes only. In a "real" environment, the user must enter the
parameters for real time servers.

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

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

Figure 6-2 Time synchronization via an external radio clock, example
The bay devices on the IEC 61850 bus are clients which poll time information from the radio
clock. Their configuration is not described in the present document. For more detailed
information on this topic, refer to the documentation of the corresponding devices.
All other bay devices connected via IEC 60870-5-103 receive time information from the DIP.

Configuration files
This section provides a list of the tp.conf configuration files for the SICAM PAS and the
SICAM PAS CC computers. The entries in the list have been customized for the example
illustrated. Be aware that the real system configuration (e. g. IP addresses) of your own
environment must be considered.
Changes to the predefined configuration files have been highlighted.
