Overview of the SICAM System
1.1 SICAM Station Unit with SICAM PAS/PQS
1.1 SICAM Station Unit with SICAM PAS/PQS

The SICAM Station Unit with its special hardware has been designed as a stable, maintenance-free runtime
environment. Thanks to its low power loss processor, fans are not required.
When compared to other industrial and office computers, the SICAM Station Unit satisfies strict requirements
including temperature stability and continuous operation.
The hardware of the SICAM Station Unit has a modular structure and can thus be configured to meet individual
requirements. Windows Embedded Standard 7 is used as an operating system.
The SICAM Station Unit can be flexibly used in the SICAM PAS/PQS system, e.g. as a Full Server or DIP. The
following chapters describe 2 configuration examples. Further examples are available in the SICAM PAS/PQS
documentation.
1.2 Configuration Examples
Configuration example 1
The example below illustrates the connection of 2 SICAM PAS systems to a higher-level control center.
One SICAM PAS system is implemented as a stand-alone system, whereas the other SICAM PAS system is a

Installation and Technical Features
2.1 Installation in a SICAM Cubicle
2.1.1 Installation Position

The SICAM Station Unit has been designed for installation in a 19" cubicle.
If possible, the SICAM Station Unit (SICAM PAS/PQS Full Server and SICAM PAS/PQS DIP) should be
installed in the medium or bottom part of the 19" cubicle. This is necessary in order to ensure air circulation
through the device.
NOTE
For cubicles without fan cooling, the distance between 2 SICAM Station Units must be at least 2 HU (Height
Units) (see Figure 2-1).
For cubicles with fan cooling, ventilation is a less critical factor.
For improved cooling, an air guide plate can be installed between the SICAM Station Units. The air guide plate
guides the hot air from the lower SICAM Station Unit towards the rear.
Air must flow through the SICAM Station Unit to provide for sufficient cooling. This means that no other units
which could possibly block or reduce the air flow may be installed directly below or above the SICAM Station
Unit.

3.2 Power Supply
3.2 Power Supply

The input voltages of the SICAM Station Unit from the mains supply (AC or DC 110 V to 230 V) and the
accumulator supply (DC 24 V to 60 V) are fed through the power supply connection unit.
The input voltages can be switched on or off via the switches in the cubicle. By pressing the System Power
standby switch (1), the user only switches off the output voltage of the power supply module, i.e. the other
modules of the SICAM Station Unit are de-energized (e.g. for upgrades or retrofits).

3.2 Power Supply
NOTICE
To prevent the active power supply module (orange LED ON) being damaged, it must not be withdrawn during
operation.
✧ To replace (remove/insert) a power supply module, it must be idle. This means that only the inactive power
supply module may be replaced during operation.
Variants
Both variants of the power supply module can be used as primary or secondary power supply module.
The following combinations are therefore possible:

• one of the two modules on one of the two slots
(i.e. the 2nd slot is only covered by a front cover)
• 2 identical modules for mains supply
• 2 identical modules for accumulator supply
• one module for mains supply and one module for accumulator supply (see Figure 3-7)
(no matter on which of the two slots)
3.2.2 Principle of Operation

The input voltages supplied via the power supply connection unit are stepped down to a +12 V rectified,
stabilized DC voltage in the power supply modules. The output voltage has a maximum tolerance of ±1 % and
a maximum ripple voltage of 50 mV.
The orange LED on the front cover indicates that the +12 V output voltage is available and within the tolerance
range. The LED of the module which currently supplies the +12 V output voltage always lights up.
If the System Power standby switch is in the Off position (standby mode), the output voltage is not available
on either of the two power supply modules. The two LEDs light up nevertheless in order to indicate that input
voltages are still present on the power supply connection unit and on the power supply modules.

3.3.2.1 General Information on the Power Supply

The Power Supply Controller Module (PSCM) generates the CompactPCI voltages by means of DC/DC
converters. Since the input voltage is +12 V ±5 % and all required output voltages are equal or less, the voltage
is stepped down by means of converters. Furthermore, the opposite step is used for the -12 V output voltage.
In order to reduce heat development within the PSCM and the SICAM Station Unit, high-efficiency DC/DC
converters are used.
Power consumption
A fully equipped SICAM Station Unit features the following performance data. The table below indicates
expected maximum values including a safety factor.
Table 3-2 Power consumption
Output Voltage Tolerance Ripple Voltage Output Current
+ 3.3 V DC ±3 % 50 mV 5A
+ 5 V DC ±3 % 50 mV 16 A
+ 12 V DC ±5 % 100 mV 2.5 A
- 12 V DC ±10 % 100 mV 0.5 A
The maximum power of the SICAM Station Unit is 120 W.
The table indicates that the maximum power can be achieved with the + 5 V and + 3.3 V voltages. The two DC/
DC converters are therefore controlled by means of the phase controller logic in such a way that the peak
power, the EMC and the number of buffer capacitors can be reduced to an acceptable minimum.
Since the SICAM Station Unit is not equipped with an active cooling system, the power input of the PSCM must
be reduced to a minimum.

E50417-H8976-C381-A5, Edition 05.2013
Hardware Components
Status LEDs of the DC/DC converter
The status of the output voltages of the DC/DC converters is indicated by 3 LEDs on the front cover of the
PSCM. The LEDs are directly connected to the microcontroller. The active voltage is indicated by a green LED.
The table below shows the operational states and the meaning of the 3 LEDs:

3.3.2.2 Switching over the Power Supply
General information
The SICAM Station Unit is supplied by 2 independent power supply modules with an output voltage of +12 V
±5 % and a maximum current of 10 A. The two modules act as the primary and secondary power supply. Each
of them is supplied from a separate supply source.
During normal operation the SICAM Station Unit is supplied from the mains. Consequently, the primary power
supply module is active, and the secondary power supply module is in standby mode.
If a DC power supply unit is used as the secondary power supply module, it is switched off in order to save the
battery.
If the mains supply on the primary power supply module fails, an error message is sent to the PSCM. As soon
as this error message arrives at the PSCM, the PSCM can:
• initiate a switchover to the secondary power supply module
• switch off the primary power supply module
As soon as the mains supply is available again, the primary power supply module operates again without
problems. The PSCM performs the following actions:
• Changeover from the secondary to the primary power supply module
• Switching off the secondary power supply module

E50417-H8976-C381-A5, Edition 05.2013
Hardware Components
Function
The logic for switching over the supply voltage consists principally of 2 MOSFET transistors (Metal-Oxide-
Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), 2 Schottky power diodes and one control logic.
SSU_PSCM_umschaltlogik_bs.tif
Figure 3-12 Block diagram of the logic for switching over the power supply
During normal operation the MOSFET transistor conducts the primary input voltage to the DC/DC converters.
The Schottky diode connected in parallel is not active because the voltage difference between the input and
the output is much lower than the conducting-state voltage of the diode. The power loss on the switch is
therefore reduced to a minimum.
The MOSFET transistor is controlled by a logic that receives its input signal directly from the microcontroller. A
similar logic controls the switch for the secondary input voltage (which is, however, switched off during normal
operation). The diode connected in parallel is not active as long as it is not operated in reverse-biasing mode.
To switch over from the primary to the secondary power supply module, the primary switch must be switched
off and the secondary switch must be switched on in order to prevent both MOSFET transistors being switched
on simultaneously. The changeover in both directions does not take more than 20 ms. The diodes connected
in parallel ensure an uninterruptible power supply during changeover. They must support the power loss until
the MOSFET transistors have performed the changeover.

Hardware Components
3.3.2.3 Microcontroller
General information
All PSCM control tasks are performed by the microcontroller, which is equipped with a FLASH memory for the
program code.
Error registers
The microcontroller detects all error messages and records them in error registers. When an error message
occurs, the related register is updated. A LOW logic signal is transmitted to the CPU via the backplane bus in
order to inform the CPU of a change in one of the error registers. The CPU reads the contents of the register
out of the microcontroller via the backplane bus. Using special software, the CPU can read out the error register
via the SM bus (Service Management Bus).

Hardware Components
Control of the changeover procedure
A total of 8 signals are required for the monitoring and control of the power supply changeover procedure (see
Figure 3-11 - block diagram of the PSCM). These signals are required for:
• Monitoring the inputs of the power supply modules
• Monitoring the outputs of the changeover logic
• Control of the changeover button
• Switching the power supply modules on/off
The power supply is switched over in the following cases:

• Failure of the power supply
Changeover from the primary to the secondary power supply
• Recovery of the power supply
Changeover from the secondary to the primary power supply.
Besides the normal changeover mode, errors are processed for the following sequences:
• When the primary power supply fails, the system switches over from the primary to the secondary power
supply even though the secondary output voltage is not present. In this scenario, the system would crash
due to insufficient power supply. An error message is displayed to warn the user that the supply voltage
for the system will collapse soon. Special routines are started in order to ensure the safe shutdown of the
system.
• If the output voltage does not reach the setpoint, the system does not switch over from the secondary to
the primary power supply even though the primary power supply has recovered in the meantime. In this
case the system would still be supplied via the secondary power supply. No error message is created.

Power supply monitoring
The PSCM monitors all voltages generated on this printed circuit board by means of 2 threshold voltages each.
The threshold voltages are:

• ±5 % with 3.3 V and 5 V
• ±7 % with +12 V
• ±12 % with -12 V.
The Overvoltage error message is shown for the upper threshold voltage, and the Undervoltage error
message is shown for the lower threshold voltage. The status LED of the corresponding voltage (+3 V, +5 V or
±12 V) goes out.
Relay monitoring
Switchable relay contacts are connected to a terminal block on the front cover of the PSCM for display and
control purposes. The relays are controlled via the microcontroller.
Monitoring of the status LEDs of the relays
For each relay contact, a status LED shows the current status (active / not active). The LEDs and relays are
simultaneously controlled by the microcontroller (e.g. in case of error messages). Since the microcontroller
does not have enough I/O ports for the direct control of the LEDs, an extension with 8 additional I/O ports is
used.

E50417-H8976-C381-A5, Edition 05.2013
Hardware Components
3.3.2.4 Relays
General information
The PSCM is equipped with 8 independently controllable relays (change-over contacts) for monitoring
purposes. The contacts are designed for a switching capacity of AC 230 V/1 A and DC 230 V/0.3 A with a
minimum insulation voltage of DC 500 V.
The control voltage on the coils is 5 V. Relays with change-over contacts are used in order to ensure that the
PSCM can control the normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts.

Figure 3-15 Switching capacity of the relay contacts
Status LEDs of the relays
An LED on the front cover of the PSCM is available for each relay. These LEDs show the current status of the
relay contact. The LEDs and the corresponding relays are controlled simultaneously. If a relay is in normally
closed state, the corresponding LED does not light up.
NOTE
The function of the 2nd LED can be influenced by the fact that the SICAM Station Unit belongs to a certain
domain, refer to Chapter 5.3.

The CPU module consists of a printed circuit board in Eurocard CompactPCI format (mainboard). It features
high computing power and graphics performance and low power consumption.
Since the CPU module runs without an additional fan, the cooling element has been designed accordingly. Due
to its robust design, the CPU module also works particularly reliably under extreme environmental conditions.
With regard to its shock and vibration resistance, it complies with the industrial standard in accordance with
DIN, EN, and IEC.
The CPU module is connected to the backplane bus and other modules of the SICAM Station Unit via its 32-
bit-/33-MHz CompactPCI interface.
Additional interfaces of the CPU module are accessible via the front cover:
• 2 Ethernet interfaces (LAN 1 and LAN 2)
• 2 USB interfaces
• VGA interface (for the connection of a monitor)
The SDRAM is soldered onto the mainboard in order to ensure optimal shock and vibration resistance.
The BIOS software was specifically adapted to the SICAM Station Unit.

3.6 Digital Input/Output Module

In order to be able to hold the 2 M-modules, the digital input/output module features a slightly wider carrier
board.
The digital input/output assembly is nevertheless compatible with standard slots. This is ensured by means of
special red installation rails enclosed in the housing of the SICAM Station Unit.
If the carrier board is only equipped with one M-module (upper slot), the slot for the 2nd M-module remains
covered by a blind cover.
The M-modules are screwed onto the carrier board and connected via a 60-pole plug-in connection.

The digital input/output module consists of a carrier board for the M-modules which each make 32 binary inputs/
outputs available. It can be used as an I/O expansion for the CompactPCI bus system.
3.6.2.1 Carrier Board

The carrier board provides 8 PXI trigger lines via which the different inputs and outputs are controlled.
The power supply is ensured via the backplane bus. The power consumption is 20 mA in addition to the power
of the built-in M-modules.
The carrier board is connected to the backplane bus via the J1/J2 terminal blocks. This is a 32-bit CompactPCI
interface which consists of a 110-pole connector (J1 and J2). A +5 V control voltage is used on the CompactPCI
bus.

Principle of operation
Input and output data is transmitted between the control block on the CPU and the optical insulated section of
each of the 4 I/O units via a serial interface. The data transmission is identical for the Input and output
information. The transmission time for all 8 bits of an I/O unit is 8 μs.

2 External supply voltage
3 External loading (the module is used as an output)
A monitoring function ensures that no output driver is active if external voltage is present even though no
voltage from the M-module is present. If the RESET is activated on the M-module, the monitoring function
ensures that all outputs are passive.
Inputs
The inputs are voltage-sensitive. The switching point defined is approx. 8 V. The input current is 4.4 mA at 24 V.
An interference suppression diode limits the input voltage to 36 V.
The input signals are serially transmitted towards the digitally isolated, binary I/O controller. The I/O controller
checks the status of the input signal every 8 μs. Only if the input signal remains constant for a period of 40 μs
does the I/O controller update the IN input bit in the corresponding I/O data register.
NOTICE
In order to prevent the M-module being damaged, the voltage on the input of the M-module must not exceed
the external supply voltage.
✧ For this reason the external power supply must be connected directly to the external device.
Outputs
Two 4-channel source drivers are used as output drivers. A connected device is protected against overcurrent
and switched off as soon as the overtemperature limit has been reached.
Under normal operating conditions (25 °C ambient temperature), each of the 8 outputs provides a constant
current of 1.9 A and a supply voltage of 32 V. For supply voltages of up to 35 V, the overcurrent error circuit
protects a connected device from short circuit against ground.

E50417-H8976-C381-A5, Edition 05.2013
Hardware Components
I/O registers
The M-module is equipped with a Binary I/O Controller (BIOC) which controls the inputs and outputs of a
channel. A 6-bit I/O register for storing the setpoint value and the actual value are available for each channel.
One bit of the I/O register is used in order to define the status of the Power Switch. If this bit = 0, the switch is
open and the I/O interface can be used as an input. If this bit = 1, the switch is closed. In this case, the output
voltage is held on the I/O interface.

4.2 Routing Manager
Overview
For safety reasons, it is recommended that you operate the devices (SIPROTEC 4) in a separate network. The
devices are assigned to one LAN, whereas the SICAM SCC PC and the Engineering PC are assigned to
another LAN.
The SICAM Station Unit acts as a software router.
The routing table on the SICAM Station Unit can be edited by means of the Routing Manager tool. The
Routing Manager is an alternative to the Route DOS command.

Fig. 4-2 SICAM Station Unit operating as a router
Network access is possible from the PC (e.g. Engineering PC) to the SIPROTEC 4 device and vice-versa. The
following criteria must be met in order to ensure that the SICAM Station Unit can operate as a software router:
• A correct standard gateway must be registered on the PC and on the SIPROTEC 4 device.
• The IPEnableRouter key must have the value 1 in the Windows Registry of the SICAM Station Unit.
This is performed by the Routing Manager.
• 2 entries must be performed in the routing table of the SICAM Station Unit (see sample configuration).

4.3 File-Based Write Filter (FBWF)

Write access to the hard-disk partitions can be controlled via the FBWF (File-Based Write Filter). While the
FBWF is active, the system does not write on the hard disk/SSD, but into the cache (RAM).
The write protection can be disabled for certain directories and files.
Restrictions and notes

• The cache assigned by the FBWF is requested dynamically during runtime.
• The cache occupied by the FBWF can be monitored via SNMP.
• Deleting FBWF-protected files releases the cache occupied by the FBWF.
• At most the entire hard-disk partition C: can be protected.
• With the default settings on delivery, the FBWF is disabled, i. e. the user is provided full read/write access.
• Enable the FBWF for hard-disk partition C: as soon as you have successfully set up the
SICAM Station Unit.
NOTE
If you use a RAID system, the FBWF may not be active during synchronization of the RAID system, since the
user cannot log off during synchronization.
Reasons for using the FBWF
The FBWF must be used under the following conditions:

• Write protection for hard-disk partition C:
This protects the operating system and its settings as well as the SICAM Station Unit-specific data and
tools against changes.
• Reduced number of write processes to the SSD
After many write actions, the SSD no longer works efficiently (burnout, approx. 2 million write actions are
possible per sector). The FBWF reduces the number of write actions to a minimum or even prevents them
in order to extend the service life of the SSD.
Configure the FBWF in the File Based Write Filter dialog (refer to Chapter 4.3.2).
NOTE
You can check the capacity utilization of the FBWF memory via the Value Viewer (refer to Chapter 5.12).
