Notes on Safety
This manual does not constitute a complete catalog of all safety measures required for operat-
ing the equipment (module, device) in question because special operating conditions might
require additional measures. However, it does contain notes that must be adhered to for your
own personal safety and to avoid damage to property. These notes are highlighted with a
warning triangle and different keywords indicating different degrees of danger.
Danger
means that death, serious bodily injury or considerable property damage will occur, if the appropriate
precautionary measures are not carried out.
Warning
means that death, serious bodily injury or considerable property damage can occur, if the appropriate
precautionary measures are not carried out.
Caution
means that minor bodily injury or property damage could occur, if the appropriate precautionary measures
are not carried out.
Note
is important information about the product, the handling of the product or the respective part of the docu-
mentation, to which special attention is to be given.
Qualified Personnel
Commissioning and operation of the equipment (module, device) described in this manual
must be performed 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 electrical circuits in accordance with safety standards.
Use as Prescribed
The equipment (device, module) must not be used for any other purposes than those de-
scribed in the Catalog and the Technical Description. If it is used together with third-party de-
vices and components, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens.
Correct and safe operation of the product requires adequate transportation, storage, installa-
tion, and mounting as well as appropriate use and maintenance.
During 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 appropri-
ate measures are not taken:
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 pre-
sent in the equipment (capacitor storage).
The limit values indicated in the manual or the operating instructions must not be exceed-
ed; that also applies to testing and commissioning.
Danger
Consider obligatory the safety rules for the accomplishment of works at electrical plants:
1. Switch off electricity all-pole and on all sides!
2. Ensure that electricity cannot be switched on again!
3. Double check that no electrical current is flowing!
4. Discharge, ground, short circuit!
5. Cover or otherwise isolate components that are still electrically active!

The system SICAM MIC consists of modules that are installed on a TS35 rail (DIN rail). The
sequence of modules from left to right or top to bottom is prescribed as follows:
Standard Arrangement
8 I/O-Modules max.
TS35 rail
Master Control Module
The electrical connection of the modules with the power supply takes place during the process
of latching together, whereby each module can be individually replaced.
On the modules there are, depending on the type, up to 4 10-pole male connectors with re-
movable screw terminals (optionally spring-loaded- or crimp terminals can be used).
With the screw terminal, as an option there exists the possibility of a mechanical connector
coding (refer to chapter 1.8.6, Terminal Coding).
These are only available on the master control modules. Depending on the type used
(CP-6020, CP-6040) these provide various connectors for the communication.
These are located on the underside of the modules. They indicate examples of the external
circuitry of the modules.
By means of these two metal clips the modules are locked onto the TS35 rail and also re-
moved.
The number and meaning of the displays on the front panel are, apart from the RY-LED, dif-
ferent on all modules. While the RY-LED always displays the functional readiness of the mod-
ule, the meaning of the other displays is to be taken from the respective description (see 6,
Maintenance).
1.2.6 Dimensions
1.3 Assembly
The terminal modules are designed for the installation in a cabinet, rack or on the wall. The
permissible temperature range for the operation of the modules is from –25°C to +70°C.
Further details can be found in the SICAM MIC System Description, chapter “Ambient Condi-
tions”.
SICAM MIC systems may only be installed horizontally or vertically. The vertical installation is
to be preferred, since this provides a considerably more space-saving and efficient installa-
tion. The cabling of external cables is also made significantly easier as a result.
horizontal installation
vertical installation
Not permissible are installations on the ceiling (own weight) and on the floor (dust level).
he space requirement of a completely configured SICAM MIC system (power supply, master
control unit, up to 8 I/O modules) in the length comes to 630 mm (without end clip and plate
mounting for the system designation).
The space requirement for the width depends on several factors. Besides the size of the mod-
ule itself (130mm), the size of the cable ducts used and their minimum distance to the mod-
ules is to be taken into account. This distance is 20 mm if no lead labeling is to take place and
30 mm if the leads are to be fitted with labeling bushes.
63mm
20 mm
or
30 mm
Caution
By means of the connection TS35 rail - cabinet/rack a reliable grounding connection must be guaranteed.
For the cabling, cable ducts are to be provided at both sides of the modules (80x60mm with
SIEMENS standard design). The minimum distance from the terminal module to the cable
duct is 20 mm for cabling without lead labeling. If the leads are to be fitted with labeling bush-
es, the minimum distance is 30 mm (refer to chapter 1.3.1.2, Space Requirement).
1.3.4.1 Handling
The modules can be installed on the TS35 rail and removed again by hand, without any tools.
For this, the locking clips on the top side of the module are pressed together , the module
coupled with the neighboring module by means of the guides at the corners of the housing
and positioned on the TS35 rail .
For the removal, the locking clips are again pressed together and the module withdrawn with
clips pressed together.
Warning
The connecting and withdrawal of modules is only permitted in a de-energized state. This state is
achieved by interrupting the power supply to the power supply unit and to the peripherals.
1.3.4.2 Coupling
Modules that are adjacent to each other are mechanically connected with each other by
means of the guides at the corners of the housing.
Caution
The housing form of older TM module series does not provide sufficient protection against incorrectly
positioned installation. Therefore pay attention to the correct alignment if you install such modules.
It is correct, when with vertical installation position of the system, the SIEMENS lettering on
the front panel can be read from left to right. With horizontal installation position of the system,
it must be possible to read the SIEMENS lettering on the front panel from bottom to top.
1.3.4.3 Order
The first two modules are always the power supply module and the master control module. Af-
terwards the I/O modules are installed.
Caution
With the last module, to protect the bus a protective cap is to be snapped on. Such a protective cap is
included in the package of every power supply module as standard.
In addition, with vertical installation an end clip is also to be fitted. This prevents the modules from shifting
due to their own weight.
Note
Please consider the rules in the SICAM MIC System Description, chapter “System Overview“, section
“Architecture“ | “I/O Modules“ | ”Configuration Notes“.
Depending on the master control module used, there are different communication interfaces
(serial V.28, Ethernet TCP/IP) to external data transmission facilities available.
The next section shows how the various methods of communication can be realized by means
of data transmission facilities.
Depending on the communication type, different connection cables are required for the con-
nection of a data transmission facility on the master control module.
Note
Communication cables are, if possible, to be installed separately from the supply and peripheral cables.
V.24/V.28 (X1)
Note
Consider the power consumption of the modem when using this configuration (power supply of CE-070x
via CP-60xx).

You can find details on connections above 10 m in the manual SICAM RTUs Platforms Con-
figuration Automation Units and Automation Networks, appendix A; section "Electrical Con-
nection, Cable longer than 10 m".
The supply of the power supply modules (PS-663x) can be carried out with single leads of the
type H07V-K (1.5-2.5) or a cable of the type LA-YY-0(2x1.5-2.5) or H05VV-F3G(1.5-2.5) re-
spectively.
For the fuse protection a miniature circuit breaker 2-pole 2A characteristic C (standard type:
Merlin Gerin C60H 6kA) is recommended.
Primary Mains Units (Standard Types) see SICAM MIC System Description, Appendix A, sec-
tion “Accessories”.
1.6.1 Introduction
Cabinet-internal wiring is preferably carried out with plastic-insulated cables according to DIN
VDE 298 T4 2/89. Types: H05V-K (0.5-1mm²), H07V-K (1.5-2.5).
The construction of the peripheral connectors is designed for direct peripheral wiring. That
means, that the wiring can be carried out without the use of a routing terminal or other addi-
tional screw terminals.
For the wiring, cable ducts are to be provided at both sides of the modules (refer to chapter
1.3.1.2, Space Requirement).
Warning
The operations described in this manual presuppose a reliable grounding connection between SICAM MIC
and cabinet or rack.
Warning
For modules that operate with voltages > 60 V (e.g.: DO-6212, DI-6101) care must be taken that manipu-
lation on the peripheral connectors may only be carried out in a de-energized state.
The reason for this is that when withdrawing the upper peripheral connector under voltage, the external
voltage can be conducted through the lower peripheral connector still connected. The pins of the upper
peripheral connector now freely accessible will now conduct the external voltage.
During the wiring of measured values with single wires, the wires must be twisted.
1.7.1 Shielding
Basically the TM-modules are designed in such a way that no shielded cables are required.
Normally, shielded cables are strain-relieved directly after the cabinet/rack entry and then
grounded on a large-surface screening rail installed for this purpose. The terminal modules
themselves provide no possibility of shield clamping.
When installing a SICAM MIC system attention is to be paid that the cabinet or rack used fea-
tures a proper connection with protective earth. That means, that all electrical conducting
parts must be connected large-surface and as short as possible with the cabinet spar. The
cabinet spar itself must be connected with the existing grounding system.
If these prerequisites are given, the ground connection of the device takes place over the
connection of the TS35 rail with the cabinet spar. A reliable connection is achieved by using
screws with contact washers.
Note
The TS35 rail of a complete equipped System (PS+CP+8 I/O Module) must be screwed at least 4x on
metallic background. This background should be at least 40 cm wide. The usage of a mounting plate is
recommended.
1.8 Label
This section shows how to label a SICAM MIC system according to the standard. Following
labels are intended:
For the label plate with the region- and component number, the end clip with label mounting is
to be fitted before the power supply module.
R#255/K#255
End bracket
Terminal strip marker
KLM3 PHO+0811969
Terminal strip marker carrier, height-
adjustable, for end brackets
The plant- and location designation normally takes place on the cabinet in which the system is
installed.
If required, the plant- and location designation can however also take place on a further end
clip with label mounting. This is fitted before the label mounting with the region- and compo-
nent number.
R#255/K#255
Plant/Location
End bracket
Terminal strip marker
For the labeling of the modules with the operational equipment designation (BMK) every mod-
ule is fitted with a PHOENIX label plate type: ZB8/27.
Standard labeling:
The individual terminals are already labeled ex works. The numbering takes place consecu-
tively from 1 – 20 (on power supply module and master control module) or from 1 - 40 (on all
I/O modules).
This method of labeling can take place optionally in addition to the terminal labeling.
Thereby an adhesive label is labeled individual, and afterwards placed on the slanted surface
of the housing cover.
In order to prevent terminal strips of the lower level of a module (terminal labeling: 1-10 and
31-40) from being interchanged with those of the upper level of the same module (terminal la-
beling: 11-20 and 21-30), terminals and male connectors are provided with a mechanical cod-
ing.
A coding that prevents terminal strips of one module from being interchanged with those of
another module can be realized with this method of coding, but is however not carried out at
works.
1.9.1 Switching On
Before switching the system on, all components must be connected to a power supply.
Switching on takes place by connecting the voltage, commonly for example by switching on a
miniature circuit breaker. The system starts up automatically (Startup after Power up).
The entire system is operational (without error display), as soon as all available components
are supplied with power and all system elements have concluded the startup (refer to section
6.1.1, LED Display upon Startup). This is also applicable analogously, if only parts of the sys-
tem are switched off and switched on again.
The switching off of the system takes place by disconnecting the voltage on all components. If
the power is switched off only at the master control module, the lower-level components are
not operational.
Caution
The switching off of the master control element during writing operations to the SIM card (load firmware,
load parameters) is to be absolutely avoided, since the data on the SIM card could be destroyed as a
result.

3.1.1 Differences
For the engineering via web browser no special knowledge of an engineering system is re-
quired, and also no licenses. The web user interface makes a very simple access to the pa-
rameter-setting of SICAM MIC. The structure of the parameter blocks is basically identical
structured like in the SICAM TOOLBOX II (consistent data management).
The engineering via web browser is useful for simple applications. There are not all the func-
tions which offer the SICAM TOOLBOX II, available. Main difference is, that via the web
browser no process-technical parameterization of the master control element is possible. With
the engineering via the SICAM TOOLBOX II, the online functions (diagnosis, test) are not
available.
You can find more details thereto in the sections 3.7.2.5, Exceptions with Engineering via
SICAM TOOLBOX II and 3.7.2.6, Exceptions with Engineering via Web Browser.
You find an overview of the respective functions in the sections 4, Engineering via SICAM
TOOLBOX II and 5, Engineering via Web Browser.
3.1.2 Interlocking
The writing access to a target system is exclusive. This means, changes of the parameteriza-
tion of a target system are only possible with that engineering tool, with which engineering
was begun for the first time.
If a target system has been parameterized via web browser, it is not possible to take over the
parameterization into the SICAM TOOLBOX II. All the online tools of the SICAM TOOLBOX II
(diagnosis, dataflow test, message simulation, etc.) cannot be used.
If a target system has been parameterized via the SICAM TOOLBOX II, there is only a read-
ing access possible via web browser (change of parameters not possible). The online func-
tions (diagnosis, process display) can be used in this case.
The SICAM TOOLBOX II (as of Version 4) is available on DVD ROM and consists of the fol-
lowing toolsets:
EM II
Engineering Manager (base package)
PSR II
Engineering und Maintenance Computer
OPMII
Object-Oriented Process Data Manager
CAEx plus
Tool for the creation of an application program as function diagram (FUD), structured text
(ST), sequential function chart (SF)
Alternatively to the use of CAEx plus an existing and compatible instruction list (IL) can be
stored in the SICAM TOOLBOX II
The toolsets are also available as “Light” version. With this version, the engineering is limited
to maximal 100 system elements and 2000 data points.
The toolsets are available individually. You find information and updates for the individual
toolsets, as well as numerous licences, in Online Support Products.
You find detailed information on installation and accomplishment of updates in the booklet of
the SICAM TOOLBOX II CD.
3.2.1.1 Prerequisites
Prerequisite for the operation of the SICAM TOOLBOX II is the usage of an appropriate PC,
that must fulfill certain hardware requirements, depending on the license package you pur-
chased.
Information thereto reside within a permanently updated List of PC preference types (PC Prod-
ucts Preference List). Should that be not at your disposal, please consult your contact person
at Siemens.
For the installation of the SICAM TOOLBOX II the following preconditions are required:
For the engineering via web browser you need the following programs:
Note
When addressing SICAM MIC via other web browsers, a warning appears in the logon mask.
3.2.2.1 Prerequisites
Note
As of CPC60 with revision 24.04 applies only Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 10 or 11 with Microsoft
Windows® version 7 or 8.
Thereby, “first-party cookies” must be enabled, otherwise you cannot log on at SICAM MIC.
This is the way to check the setting in the Internet Explorer: Click on the menu item Tools and select
Internet Options. In the following window click the PRIVACY tab, then click on the button Advanced . In
the following window, the option ACCEPT must be selected under FIRST- PARTY COOKIES.
WEBmic is the tool for the offline engineering via a web browser. This program works as web-
server for the local data management on the engineering PC. It serves also for the saving and
loading of parameter files on a SIM card.
Additionally, WEBmic serves for the online parameterization of the IP address of a target sys-
tem that is connected via the communication interface.
You can find the corresponding executable file under SC6-900-<Version>.XX/86 in the
Online Support Products.
Note
The engineering is also possible online via a web browser. Thereto, no separate tool is required since the
firmware of the master control element contains the required functionality of a web server.
FLASHmic is the tool for the reloading of CPC60 firmware updates. This program is on one
hand the flashloader and contains on the other hand the firmware in the current revision.
You can find the corresponding executable file under SC6-060-*/XX/86*) in the Online
Support Products.
You find the details on loading of firmware in section 6.6, Firmware Update.
The modular system SICAM MIC consists of system elements, that are designed for specific
functions:
For the accomplishment of the respective functions, a special firmware is provided for each
system element (exception: protocol elements are integrated on the master control element).
The functionality of each system element is adjustable by means of parameters.
As a partner of Siemens, you are able to download all the code revisions for your system as
loadable binary files via Online Support Products.
Examples:
The respective binary file contains the firmware code for the relevant system element (for en-
gineering via web browser).
The respective TB II update contains the firmware code for the relevant system element, as
well as the master data for the Toolbox II (for engineering via SICAM TOOLBOX II).
In order that the corresponding system elements work and can be parameterized, the respec-
tive
How to load firmwares into a target is described in section 6.6, Firmware Update.
For storing the parameters, SICAM MIC uses a SIM card (Subscriber Identification Module)
which is located in the housing of the master control module.
This card can be written while it is in the master control module (Online parameter setting) or
one writes it using an external read/write device (Offline parameter setting by means of
WEBmic.
Depending on the method used there are different demands on the hard- and software.
Note
The master control modules are supplied without SIM card.
Engineering data and firmwares can be read from the SIM card with a standard commercial
SIM card reader/writer and be stored on a PC. On the other hand, the data can be transferred
from a PC to the SIM card, particularly for the initialization of a target system.
A driver software required for the use of the SIM card reader/writer must be installed previous-
ly on the PC. Follow thereto the indications of the manufacturer.
Attention
After a driver installation for SIM card reader/writer the initial access to the SIM card with the tool WEBmic
requires considerably more time than the subsequent ones!
You can read out the settings of the chipcard reader/writer via the WEBmic pop-up menu un-
der SIM Card Reader | SIM Card Reader Settings.
WEBmic checks whether a card reader is installed on the PC. If no valid installation is found an
error message appears. Otherwise, WEBmic checks the state of the installed card reader and
the SIM card and displays this in a status window.
Depending on the master control module used, there are different communication interfaces
available for the engineering.

with supply for external modem
For the transmission of engineering data in a system SICAM MIC the engineering PC must be
connected with the target system, and a suitable SIM card must be equipped in the target sys-
tem.
The parameter setting of SICAM MIC is online possible via the following connections:

Note
The point-to-point connection is not suitable for systems which are alredy operating within a network,
because the concerned station would have to be taken off from the LAN.
For local parameter setting or diagnostic during operation it is better to use the serial interface.
PC and SICAM MIC are connected via standard patch cable (RJ45 plug) to a network (master
control module CP-6040 required).

SICAM MIC
For the engineering of SICAM MIC serves in this case the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
The firmware CPC60 must have a revision level as of 14. Older revision levels are not suitable
for the engineering via the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
Before you begin with the engineering, the predefined configuration parameters of the SICAM
TOOLBOX II must be checked and changed, if necessary (refer to section 4.1.1, Presets).
The parameter setting is carried out with the tool "OPM II" (offline). An application program
can be edited with the tool "CAEx plus" as Function Diagram, or optionally as Instruction List
with a text editor in ASCII format (offline).
The engineering data maintained with the SICAM TOOLBOX II is stored in a data base on the
engineering PC.
By means of loading procedures, the engineering data can be transferred from the engineer-
ing PC to a target system (online). Thereto the target system must be connected with the en-
gineering PC and switched on, and a SIM card must be equipped in the master control mod-
ule of the target system.
During a loading procedure the engineering data is stored by the target system on the
equipped SIM card. With startup of the target system, all new or changed data is transferred
into its main memory.
The single tools of the SICAM TOOLBOX II have a Windows-oriented design. They can be
started after successful installation from the Windows start menu (Start | Programme |
TOOLBOX II), or via the Toolbox shortcut on the Desktop.
The tools most frequently needed (Load Parameters, CAEx plus, etc.) can be started also
from the central engineering tool "OPM II".
The detailed instructions for working with the SICAM TOOLBOX II reside within the SICAM
TOOLBOX II Online Help, as well as the CAEx plus Online Help. The Online Help can be
started directly or from each tool via the menu Help.
For the engineering of SICAM MIC serves in this case a web browser and the program
WEBmic installed on the engineering PC.
The parameter setting may be carried out either with the program WEBmic (offline) or directly
in the target system via its integrated webserver (online). An application program can be edit-
ed as Instruction List with a text editor in ASCII format (offline).

Variant a: By means of loading procedures, the engineering data can be transferred from the
engineering PC to a target system via its integrated webserver (online). Thereto the target
system must be connected with the engineering PC and switched on, and equipped with a
SIM card.
During a loading procedure the engineering data is stored in the target system on the
equipped SIM card. With startup of the target system, all new or changed data is transferred
into its main memory.
Variant b: You can put the SIM card with the engineering data into the master control module
of the target system (only in de-energized state). Afterwards merely a startup of the target sys-
tem must be performed to activate the parameters and the optional application program.
Online Engineering
Engineering data maintained with the webserver integrated in the master control module is
stored on the equipped SIM card. The data can also be transferred from the engineering PC
into a target system.
With startup of the target system, all new or changed data is transferred into its main memory.
You find the instruction for different operating systems (Microsoft Windows ®) in the Appendix
E, Set up Dial-up Connection via PPP.
For the parameterization the target system must be connected with the engineering PC and
switched on. In the master control module of the target system a SIM card must be equipped.
Predefined IP Addresses
The adjustment of IP addresses is dependent on the selected physical connection (see 3.6.2,
Web Browser).
Click in the control panel of the engineering PC on Network connections , after that on
New Connection Wizard .
Create now a serial connection to another computer (in this case SICAM MIC) via an available
COM interface of the engineering PC.
Click in the property dialog of the serial connection on the tab Networking , mark Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties .
Select OBTAIN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY and confirm with OK .
Confirm the connection settings with OK .
After selecting the user and entering the password, you are logged on to the SICAM MIC sys-
tem.
Click in the Control Panel of your PC on Network and Dial-up Connections , then on
Local area connection and with the right mouse button Properties . Select Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) in the GENERAL tab and click Properties again. Enter 172.16.0.4
as IP address and 255.0.0.0 as subnet mask. Confirm your inputs with OK and confirm
in the property dialog with OK .
After selecting the user and entering the password, you are logged on to the SICAM MIC sys-
tem.
The IP address can be changed from each point of the network (also via router) from a menu
position of the offline tool WEBmic. The identification for the assignment of the IP adress takes
place solely via the MAC address of SICAM MIC. The MAC adress is printed on a label on the
back of the master control module.
For the address assignment start the program WEBmic.exe through double click with the left
mouse button.
Now the WEBmic symbol appears in the notification area of the taskbar.
Click with the right mouse button on the WEBmic symbol to open the context menu.
Supplement the last three bytes of the MAC ADDRESS and enter the IP settings.
Note
The IP settings are dependent on the configuration and the transmission media used in the network.
Contact the network adminiatrator for setting these values.
Click Set IP after entering the settings. The message writing ARP table appears. After
the addresses are written on the SIM card of the SICAM MIC, another message writing IP
address appears. If both messages contain the appendix OK, SICAM MIC can be identified
from the PC.
The status NOK means, that an error occurred with writing the address.
Note
With the firmware CPC60 as of revision 24.04 the setting of an IP address by means of WEBmic is support-
ed only as long as the default IP address (172.16.0.3) exists in the target system.
When the writing of the IP address is terminated with OK , you get access to SICAM MIC
with the web browser.
After selecting the user and entering the password, you are logged on to the SICAM MIC sys-
tem.
Offline Dialog
The user interface represented in the web browser is structured in following parts:
Header
The indications in the header are
Station name
CASDU1
CASDU2
Time (generated offline from engineering PC, online from SICAM MIC)
Navigation tree
Serves for the navigation to the individual input/output masks. By means of a click on the
symbols + or – and on the respective file symbol the desired dialog will be opened.
Dialog for the parameter input
Parameters and values, explanation texts, display of states, execution of operator inputs.
Online Dialog
The user interface online is structured equally like the offline dialog. Additional item:
Informatory line
Appears with change of parameters that require a startup of SICAM MIC.
Input of a value
The value is written into the input field. There are no restrictions for the input field. With the
value transfer a plausibility check takes place using the allowable value range and the
maximum number of characters. An implausible value will not be transferred or if neces-
sary set to "0". The assignment of signal texts is limited to maximum 10 characters.
Selection of a value
The value can be selected from a pull down menu or the selection is done by clicking on a
check box.
After the change of settings of configuration parameters these must be activated by means of
a startup of the target system. In this case the informatory line appears.
However, arbitrary additional parameters can be changed, until all together are activated with
a startup.
The indication is maintained thereto also with change of the parameter setting menus. It dis-
appears only after the performance of a startup of the target system.
If the initial engineering has been performed with the SICAM TOOLBOX II, a static indication
appears in the header:
Load firmware
Data flow test
Message simulation
Service function online
ST emulation
Topology test
Diagnosis
Function diagram online test
The parameter records in the SICAM TOOLBOX II and in the web browser are basically iden-
tical structured. However, for the engineering via web browser some simplifications exist,
hence the following functions are not supported or implemented in another manner:

4.1.1 Presets
Before you begin with the engineering of SICAM MIC, several basic settings are to be carried
out for the work with the SICAM TOOLBOX II:
For the access to the SICAM TOOLBOX II a logon with username and password is required.
The parameterization with the SICAM TOOLBOX II happens exclusively offline. Only the
transfer of data (firmware, application data), as well as test and diagnosis are performed
online via a communication connection.
The globally valid configuration parameters in the SICAM TOOLBOX II are displayed and set
with the tool "TOOLBOX II Presets". They can - dependent on the access rights - be changed
at any optional time.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "TOOLBOX II
Presets" and chapter "Administration of TOOLBOX II".
Type admin
Type profi
Type standard
As user type admin you can freely assign new user names (max. 8 characters). For each
user a special role (max. 20 characters) can be assigned.
For each role certain rights can be freely selected and assigned from a list. Depending on
which role a user has been assigned, he may control determined functions. An exception are
the unchangeable roles, that are reserved for the Siemens specialists for maintenance pur-
poses.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter “TOOLBOX II
Presets”, section “User/Role Administration”.
Note
All operation functions of SICAM MIC described in this manual are generally applicable for the "Adminis-
trator" role available in the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
4.1.1.2 Password
The entrance into the SICAM TOOLBOX II is protected for each user by means of an individ-
ual password.
Note
The preset password must be changed after the first logon.
4.1.1.3 Language
4.1.2.1 Logon
With the initial start of a tool of the SICAM TOOLBOX II you must enter a user name and a
password. After that you are able to begin the parameterization.
A user change is possible with the tool “TOOLBOX II Presets” (menu Authorization |
Login ).
4.1.2.2 Logoff
A user logoff is possible with the tool “TOOLBOX II Presets” (menu Authorization |
Logout ). You can continue to operate tools that are still active, but the activation of tools re-
quires another login.
If all tools are quit without logout, the user will remain logged in unless a logout from the
Toolbox PC or Toolbox Server takes place.
As user type admin you can define a password for each newly added user.
Project technique
System technique
Process technique
The configuration data is in each case specifically parameterized for the different views.
With the initial creation of a plant you must enter the configuration data into the SICAM
TOOLBOX II with the tool "OPM II". The entry of the parameters is thereby supported by
"Wizards". The plant topology is determined based on the parameter setting of the configura-
tion data.
After the initialization, the administration of the plant configuration can be carried out with the
tool "Plant Management". With this tool the configuration data can be changed or deleted at
any time.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Plant Manage-
ment".
For the parameterization of a target system the system elements to be used must be
equipped, and the belonging firmwares must be present in the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
You can import the required firmwares – if not yet present – into the data base of the SICAM
TOOLBOX II with the tool “Master Data Update”. You find the corresponding files in Online
Support Products (see section 3.3, Loadable Firmwares).
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", section
"Master Data Update".
An additional option provides the tool "Live Update". You find the information thereto in the
SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Service Programs", section "Live Update".
The acquisition, parameter setting and documentation for the telecontrol function and its as-
sociated data points is enabled in the SICAM TOOLBOX II mainly with the help of the tool
“OPM II” (Object Orientated Process Data Manager).
The user’s guide of the OPM II can be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
“OPM II”.
The description of the system-technical and process-technical settings can be found in the
manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter
“Telecontrol”.
Before the parameter setting a target system must be configured with the required system el-
ements:
Note
The firmware codes of the corresponding system elements must exist in the target system.
You find an overview of the available system elements and I/O modules with the technical
specification in the SICAM MIC System Description, chapter “Mechanical Design”, section
“Architecture | I/O Modules”, as well as in section 7.4, Hardware Configuration.
The configuration takes place with the tool “OPM II” via the menu items Tools | System
technique and Tools | Library Overview . Optionally, the configuration is possible with
the tool “HW-FW Configuration”.
By dragging the system elements of the system SICAM MIC from the Library Overview onto
the respective target system in the system technique, the corresponding system elements are
added with default parameters.
With use of I/Os, the higher-level peripheral element (USIO60 or USIO61) must be configured
at first. After that you can drag I/O modules onto the peripheral element and assign signals to
the respective I/O module (system technique).
When deleting a system element or an I/O module, all the corresponding settings in the sys-
tem technique are rejected.
Note
The configuration in the "OPM II" must match the mechanically installed I/O modules.
If you remove an I/O module mechanically, you must delete it also in the "OPM II". If you do not adapt the
configuration in the "OPM II", the target system detects this I/O module as failed (error indication).
If you add an I/O module mechanically without adapting the configuration in the "OPM II", this has no
effects. In this case, the added I/O module is ignored.
Like all the system-technical parameters, a changed hardware configuration must be convert-
ed and transmitted to the target system to become effective (refer to 4.1.6, Transform Param-
eters and 4.1.9.1, Loading Engineering Data).
After change of the hardware configuration, always an automatic startup of the target system
is performed. Thereby the target system checks if the mechanically installed I/O modules
match the parameterization. If not, an error information is output (red ER-LED lights up).
The system-technical configuration of a target system resides in the window “System tech-
nique”. This can be opened via the menu Tools | System technique .
The parameter setting is carried out in the navigation tree, respectively below the selected
basic system element:
Common settings
Time management
Communication protocols
Network settings
Topology
Dataflow filter
Periphery
Decentral archiving
4.1.5.2.1 Communication
A protocol suitable for the existing application can be determined by selection via a pull-down
menu under the basic system element (<Basic system element> | Communication 101/104
| Protocol configuration (Ax)) and its parameterization.
4.1.5.2.2 Periphery
The peripheral functions are defined by means of configuring the peripheral element, the
I/O modules suitable for the present application, as well as their parameters.
Below the level of the Ax-P-Bus the configured peripheral element with the configurable signals
is displayed:
Hardware pins
Software data points
By means of the context menu of a hardware pin or software data point, selection Edit
image , you get directly to the process-technical settings of the respective signal.
4.1.5.3.1 Levels
The process-technical plant can be structured in freely-definable hierarchy levels. The follow-
ing graphic shows an example:
You find the instruction to create levels in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
“OPM II”, section “Levels”.
The process-technical settings of the system elements can be opened centrally via the menu
item Tools | Images .
4.1.5.3.2 Types
Types form the template for the structure of a process-technical plant. They serve for the sim-
plification with engineering of large quantities of objects, parameters and values.
Types of the following type categories can be defined below the levels:
User types
Link types
Info types
Parameter types
A type is defined respectively for objects, that have the same features (examples: feeder, cir-
cuit breaker, disconnector).
You find the instruction to define the different types in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help,
chapter “OPM II”, section “Types”.
4.1.5.3.3 Images
Images are real objects of the plant with parameters and signals (examples: feeder north, cir-
cuit breaker Q00, disconnector Q10).
Typified images
Typified images can be created from the defined types, that means, each images is as-
signed to a type. The assigned type defines thereby the structure for the image. The struc-
ture defines which linktypes include a signal and which parameter includes a link. This
structure can be changed only in the type of the belonging image. All images that are as-
signed to that type, adopt automatically the structure change (inheritance). The same be-
havior applies for default input.
The usage of typified images is the more efficient, the more identic images are present.
Typeless images
Typeless images do not have a reference to the types, that means, no inheritance takes
place. Typeless images are also created by structural changes of a typified image (since
the image does not have the same structure as the type).
Typeless images are advantageous, if images are only uniquely existing.
Below typless images, typified images can be used (example: voltage level “20 kV“ is
typeless since it is only uniquely existing, all feeders thereunder are typified images).
Link images
In the link images the parameters of the single target systems can be set.
The signals of the libraries include as first link a so-called common link (LNK_ADR). There
reside parameters (example: longtext, LAN station...) that include “references” to other
links of the same signal or are source of “formulas”.
A reference causes that upon changes of an entry in the common link the change takes
place automatically in the link of the specific target system. Message address
CASDU(1,2), IOA(1,2,3) and TI are generated automatically with filling of the 1703 link ad-
dress (Lk_Reg, Lk_Komp, Lk_BSE, Lk_ZSE, Lk_DP) by means of formulas and refer-
ences and do not have to be entered.
You find the instruction for the creation of images in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help,
chapter "OPM II", section "Images".
Addressing
Signal preprocessing
Signal postprocessing
You find the description of the parameters in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"Parameter Documentation" as well as in section 7.5, Process Periphery.
You find the description of the technological processing of inputs and outputs of the process
periphery in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions Peripheral Elements According to
IEC 60870-5-101/104.
The assignment of a process signal to a hardware pin or software data point in the system
technique takes place by means of assignment (alternatively automatical or manual). You find
the instruction thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Parameter Documen-
tation", section “Assign”.
The decentralized archive serves for the local storage of events of a substation, and - when-
ever necessary - for the transmission to the control system. By means of that, it is for instance
possible to recover the archive of a control system after a communication fault.
In the decentralized archive all the data points used in the substation can be acquired.
You can configure the archive in the system technique of the “OPM II” (parameter group De-
centralized archiving of the respective automation unit). In the images you can define
the process-technical settings of the data points to be acquired. During operation, these data
points are archived chronologically upon status change. This applies for all commands and bi-
nary information items of the send and receive direction.
You find the detailed information on the settings in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Func-
tions System and Basic System Elements, chapter “Telecontrol”, section “Decentralized Ar-
chiving”.
Before loading into the target system, the set parameters of the process-technical plant must
be transformed. This is performed w ith the tool “OPM II”.
Select thereto via the context menu of the automation unit (right mouse click) the menu item
Target systems | SICAM 1703 | Transform… .
Further details can be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", sec-
tion "Transform and Load", "SICAM 1703".
The tool “Data Distribution Center” enables the importing and exporting of parameters, as well
as the creation of backup files.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter “Data Distribution
Center”.

For commissioning and test of the projected settings the following functions are available
(online):
For these functions the engineering PC must be connected with the target system (see 3.6.1,
SICAM TOOLBOX II).
Note
The online test functions and diagnosis provided by the SICAM TOOLBOX II are not supported for
SICAM MIC. Online functions are only available via the web browser.
The loading of the parameters of a process-technical plant from the PC into the target system
takes place with the tool “OPM II” out of the System Technique.
Select thereto via the context menu of the automation unit (right mouse click) the menu item
Parameter | Loading .
For the loading of the parameters there are different variants available:
Load intelligent
only the changed parameters are loaded into the target system
as a result shorter loading times can be achieved
can be applied locally or remotely
Load unconditional
all parameters are loaded into the target system
after the unconditional loading of the parameters an automatic startup of the target sys-
tem is performed
can be applied locally or remotely
Initialize
all parameters are deleted in the target system, and all parameters newly transferred
is used for the first loading of an automation unit or of a basic system element
can be applied only with the locally connected automation unit
Caution
During a loading operation, the switching off of the system is to be absolutely avoided, since the data on
the SIM card could be destroyed as a result.
With loading parameters, all settings that have been performed in the SICAM TOOLBOX II are
saved jointly on the SIM card of the target system:
Configuration parameters
System-technical parameters
Process-technical parameters (if they have been transformed previously)
Application program (if code has been generated previously)
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter “OPM II”, section
“Transform and load | SICAM 1703”.
With the tool “OPM II” you can check whether the parameter record in the target system is
current.
Select thereto via the context menu of the automation unit (right mouse click) the menu item

For the creation of a Function Diagram the SICAM TOOLBOX II, tool "CAEx plus" is required.
You find further information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, chapter “Automation”, section “Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Con-
trol Function”.
The I/O's are integrated into the Function Diagram via the Signal List. Dependent from the
fact, whether the target system is engineered via the SICAM TOOLBOX II or via the web
browser, the Signal List can be alternatively
The signals of the process-technical plant can be used by "CAEx plus" after the transfor-
mation (refer to section 4.1.6, Transform Parameters). The structure of the project tree auto-
matically adapts to the structure from the "OPM II".
The tool "CAEx plus" provides various editors and standard libraries for the creation of the
open-/closed-loop control functions.
The process-technical functions of a plant are created with the Function Diagram editor (FBD-
Editor). A Function Diagram is thereby created by the interconnection of
The exact description of the editor is included in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Editors".
Additional information can be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter “Tutori-
als”, section “CAEx plus”.
You find the most important characteristic values (limits) for the creation of the open-/closed-
loop control function in the SICAM MIC System Description, chapter “Technical Specifications
of the Modules”, section “Master Control Modules”.
You find the technical details for the processing of the open-/closed-loop control function and
its partial functions in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic System
Elements, chapter “Automation”, section “Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function”,
“Application Program”,”Function Diagram”.
Note
Optionally to the creation of a function diagram, an instruction list (IL) with ASCII format can be imported in
“CAEx plus” (tool “OPM II”, context menu of the CPU, Instruction list | Import from file ).
Before the loading of the open-/closed-loop control function into the target system, the program
code must be generated.
The code generation can be started via the CAEx plus Transformer or from "CAEx plus" via
the context menu of the basic system element (resource).
The function diagram is now translated and checked by a compiler. Simultaneously the pro-
gram code is created as instruction list (IL) in the folder “Specification”.
Via the menu Tools | Error-state viewer you can activate the notification display of the
code generation. There are recorded common notifications (as for instance information about
the occupied storage space for code and variables), as well as detected errors in detail.
The exact description of this tools is included in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Target-
System Connection", section "Functions for Target-System Connection", section "Code Gen-
eration".
The code generation can be started independently from "CAEx plus" with the tool "OPM II"
through selection of the function Destination systems | CAEx plus… | signal
list/generate code. Thereby a signal list is created for the processing of the parameterized
signals in the open-/closed loop control function and read into "CAEx plus".
Further details can be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", sec-
tion "Transform and Load", "CAEx plus".
4.2.2 Documentation
With the tool “CAEx plus” a cross reference list over the project hierarchy can be generated,
displayed on the screen, or printed.
You find the details thereto in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter “Basics”, section “Default
Operating Elements”, section “Commands of the Pop-Up Menus”.
In the project hierarchy of the tool "CAEx plus", by selecting one of each level, by means of
pop-up menu the function Print can be executed. The print operation is started on the default
printer of the PC.
You find the details thereto in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter “Basics”, section “Default

Management”.
Additional information can be found in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Basics", section
"Default Properties" as well as chapter "Lists and References", section "Designing Printouts
with DXF".
Further extensive possibilities for the documentation are provided by the optional function
Document Management (Additional product for "CAEx plus").
The details thereto can be found in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Additional Products",
section "Documents Management (Optional)".
To load the compiled program code into the target system, the engineering PC must be con-
nected with the target system (see section 3.6.1, SICAM TOOLBOX II).
The loading of the application program code into the target system takes place jointly with the
set parameters in the System Technique of the "OPM II".
Select thereto via the context menu of the respective automation (right mouse click) the menu
item Parameter | loading ). For further detail refer to section 4.1.9.1, Loading Engineering
Data.
All the open-/closed-loop control functions that have been performed in "CAEx plus", are
thereby stored on the SIM card in the master control element.
Alternatively the compiled Instruction List can be exported and loaded into SICAM MIC via the
web browser (refer to section 5.2.2.3.2, Save and Load PLC Code).
Note
The import of an Instruction List created by means of a text editor to "CAEx plus" is not possible.
The loading of the application program code leads to an operational interruption. After termi-
nation of the loading procedure, a startup of the target system is required.
The technical description thereto can be found in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Func-

Note
All operation and test functions of SICAM MIC described within this manual are generally valid for the
unrestricted access right (Administrator LOCAL and Administrator OFFLINE).
5.1.1.2 Password
Every project can be protected by means of a password. The default password is sat and
should be absolutely changed after the initial logon.
The allocation of the password is possible at any time within the system settings, the storage
takes place jointly with the parameters of the open project
Note
In case of problems with passwords, please contact the Siemens Support Center.
For the engineering of SICAM MIC you must select the language and the user type in the lo-
gon mask of the user interface. After input of the correct password and click on Logon you
are presented with the start mask of a project. Working online, thereby a session with the
master control element (webserver) is opened.
To quit a project properly, you must click on the button Logout in the start mask.
In order that in case of an unwanted abort of a project (upon failure of the communication link,
unintended close of the web browser, etc.) the previous opened session will be terminated,
the firmware of the master control element contains two safety mechanisms:
Caution
If several users are allowed to access the same master control element, then the last one who is logging
on with the correct password gets the access right. The session of the predecessor will be terminated.
The following graphic shows the offline parameter setting of SICAM MIC as flow chart.

With the offline tool WEBmic the configuration of the parameters can be carried out without the
target system. The parameters are written in a file or directly to the SIM card in the read-/write
device.
Note
Here only those steps are described that are relevant for the parameter setting offline. All further steps are
described in section 5.1.5, Engineering Offline or Online.
Before you can begin with the parameter setting you must first create a project, in which the
data for your system are managed. Proceed as follows:
Click with the right mouse button on the WEBmic symbol to open the WEBmic context menu.
The window for the definition of the file storage location is opened.
Under DESTINATION you can now select whether you wish to write the project data directly to
the SIM card in the connected read/write device or to a file, or both in parallel.
If there is no chipcard reader/writer installed the menu positions that refer to the SIM card are
disabled (they appear as engraved text).
In the CUSTOMER INFORMATION the name of the customer, the plant and the station are entered.
The filename for the project data is automatically created from these entries.
Click on OK to create the project. Thereby, depending on the selection, either a project-
specific parameter file is generated or the SIM card is written. Both can also be performed in
parallel. The file is given a name that is composed from the plant data and the type identifica-
tion mic.
If SIM CARD is marked, but no read/write device is installed or connected, the information
Can't write to SIM Card appears.
Save Parameters
If the web browser has been started from a file via Open project or New project, then the
parameter record is written to the file with each transfer of a parameter.
If the web browser has been started from a SIM card via Open project or New project, then
the parameter record is written to the SIM card with each transfer of a parameter.
The web browser is automatically started after the creation of the project. The initial mask of
the user interface is opened.
After selecting the user and entering the password (refer to section 5.1.1, Presets) you can
now begin with the parameter setting.
As a basis for the parameterization of the peripherals, first the configuration of SICAM MIC
must be parameterized offline.
After you have logged on, click in the menu tree on HW Configuration. In the configuration
mask you can select the master control module and the available I/O modules. A SICAM MIC
supports max. 8 I/O modules.
An overview of the available master control units and I/O modules and their description can be
found in the section 7.4, Hardware Configuration (please consider also the "Configuration
Rules").
After selection of the modules save the settings with a mouse click on the button Apply . De-
pending on the selection, the settings are stored on the SIM card or in the file.
Note
A manual configuration of I/O modules is only possible offline. The configured HW configuration is com-
pared with the configuration currently existing with a startup of SICAM MIC. If no concurrence exists, an
error message is generated.
Offline, for these functions a SIM card read-/write device installed on the engineering PC is
necessary. In this case the web browser is not required.
This function is used for transferring the parameters from a file on PC to the SIM card.
To do this, click in the WEBmic pop-up menu on Write parameters to SIM Card. A browse
window appears for selecting the source path and the source file. The fixed default file type is
mic.Only this file type can be written to the SIM card.
Then click on Open in order to write the parameters from the selected file to the SIM card.
The write operation takes a few seconds. Take notice of the Active-LED on the read-/write de-
vice, if present.
This function is used for transferring the parameters from the SIM card to a file, for example in
order to duplicate the corresponding project.
To do this, click in the WEBmic pop-up menu on Read parameters from SIM Card. The
read operation is started and takes a few seconds (Observe Active-LED on the read-/write de-
vice). A browse window appears for selecting the destination path and the destination file. The
filename suggested is produced from the read-out plant data (C USTOMER, PLANT and STATION
NAME). The filename can also be renamed. The fixed default file type is mic.
Then click on Save in order to store the parameters from the SIM card in the selected file.
To edit an existing project, in the WEBmic pop-up menu click on Open project. In the dialog
window you can select whether wish to work with a file or on a SIM card. There is a browse
function available for selecting a file.
The web browser is started automatically, the project is opened and the initial mask of the us-
er interface offline is loaded.
After successfully logging on, now the telecontrol parameters can be read and changed.
Changes are stored with transfer to the file or to the SIM card respectively. On exiting the pro-
ject, WEBmic asks whether it should also be stored on a SIM card. With this, you have the
possibility of creating a SIM card and a consistent backup file in one operation.
With the selection Yes a converting of the parameterization takes placee, the web browser is
started automatically, the project is opened and the initial mask of the user interface offline is
loaded.
Note
A converting can not be undone. A converted project is not downward compatible, it means that it can not
be opened by WEBmic with a lower revision level.
After the editing of a project offline, the project should be closed. To do this, in the WEBmic
pop-up menu click on Close project.
As soon as you open a further project or a new one the current project is automatically closed.
With a WEBmic session always only one project can be open.
Whether a project is still open can be detected in the pop-up menu as long as the menu item
Close project can be activated.
So that the configuration of the data points can be managed externally, it can be imported into
a project or exported from a project as a file. The advantage is for instance, that the configura-
tion in the system management only needs to be performed once.
Note
A configuration of data points created with the "OPM II" can be imported with WEBmic. Reversely a config-
uration created with WEBmic can be imported with the "OPM II".
The format of the import or export file is csv (comma separated value), that means, it concerns
a table that can be opened and worked on both with an ASCII text editor and Microsoft Excel®.
The table must contain the following headings in the first row, in the text editor view the single
columns must be separated with ";":
Only that data points are handled which belong to the CASDU1 and CASDU2 of the corre-
sponding substation. Therefor the table may contain also not belonging data points, as for in-
stance from all substations of the plant.
To perform an import, click in the WEBmic pop-up menu on Data point import (CSV file ->
SICAM MIC). A browse window appears for selecting the source file. The file must be a text
file of the type csv.
After selecting the text file with the parameters to be imported WEBmic asks whether data
points that do not exist in the text file should be deleted in SICAM MIC. You can thereby de-
cide whether you wish to add only new parameters with the help of the table, or whether ex-
actly the configuration from the table is to be stored in the opened project.
Acknowledge the message box with Yes or with No . After completed import a message box
appears which displays the number of imported data points.
So that the imported data points are applied in the opened project, the display on the user in-
terface (web browser) must be updated. You achieve this either with the Update function of
the Web browser or with repeated selection of the Input-/Output mask.
Note
The updated project is only stored by clicking the button Apply in any optional user mask. If the project is
closed without an update having taken place, then the imported data are lost.
The export file contains – in contrast to the import file – the additional column
If the project contains an application program, all the data points programmed in the optional
Instruction List (IL) can be exported together with the data points configured for the
telecontrol.
To perform an export, click in the WEBmic pop-up menu on Data point export (SICAM MIC
-> CSV file). Now a message box appears with the question whether the export should be
performed with the data points used in the IL.
Acknowledge the message box with Yes then a browse window appears for selecting the IL-
file. After completed selection, confirm with Open .
Then a browse window appears for selecting the destination file for the data points to be ex-
ported. Specify a filename and path. The default file type is set to csv.
If more than one SICAM MIC is employed in a plant with the same or similar parameters, the
possibility exists, with the help of WEBmic - based on a project already completely parameter-
ized - to produce the required number of copies.
Since in each case the copied projects can be written directly to a SIM card, for the commis-
sioning of additional SICAM MIC no PC is required. Prerequisite is, that the configured hard-
ware corresponds to the configuration.
The dialog for the duplication is started in the WEBmic pop-up menu by means of Duplicate
project.
Select the target for the copy(s) by clicking on the check box for SIM CARD or for FILE. Both
media can be written to simultaneously.
If the check box SIM CARD is ticked and no SIM card is present, then the error message Not
a valid I2C SIM Card! appears
When working with SIM cards, besides the parameters an optionally available application pro-
gram can also be duplicated at the same time. To do this, select the source (IL, file type plc)
under PLC. In this way more than one SICAM MIC can each be supplied with parameters and
user-program code at the same time in one operation.
Insert Rows
The corresponding number of rows must be inserted in the table depending on how many
copies are to be created.
Mark the 1st row or click in a field in this row. Now click with the right mouse button at any op-
tional place in the table. The pop-up menu for editing the rows and values opens. It can be se-
lected between two menu items:
Insert row
Inserts 1 row before the marked row.
Insert rows
By means of an entry a freely definable number of rows (value between 1 and 1000) is in-
serted before the marked row.
By clicking on the check box for ETHERNET IP ADDRESSE SAME AS SOURCE the IP-addresses for
the copied projects are automatically set the same as the IP-address of the source project. As
a result, in certain cases a simplified postprocessing of these parameters can be achieved.
The basis parameters for the unambiguous identification of a station (a project) can be edited
in tabular form:
Station name
CASDU1
CASDU2
Link address
Ethernet IP address
Mark the column whose values are to be duplicated, or even the entire table. Now click with
the right mouse button at any optional place in the table. The pop-up menu for editing the
rows and values opens. It can be selected between two menu items:
If the values from the first row have been retained, then the filename at least must be unam-
biguous. Otherwise always only one file can be written.
All parameters of a project can be changed later with the user interface.
A copy is only then created if all parameters are entered. After the generation procedure to
file, a message box confirms how many parameter files have been successfully generated.
For the generation procedure to SIM card, the corresponding number of SIM cards must be
available. WEBmic writes each copy to a SIM card and then asks you to insert a new SIM card
in the read-/write device. This procedure repeats until all copies have been written.
After the generation, close the dialog by clicking on the button Close .
With online engineering the target system is connected with the engineering PC and switched
on. In the master control module of the target system a SIM card must be inserted.

Via the integrated webserver the configuration of the parameters can be performed directly in
SICAM MIC. In this case the parameters are written directly on the SIM card inside the target
system.
Prerequisite is an existing communication link between the engineering PC and SICAM MIC.
Note
Here only those steps are described that are relevant for the parameter setting online. All further steps are
described in section 5.1.5, Engineering Offline or Online.
Start the web browser of your PC, enter the previously parameterized IP address of
SICAM MIC in the command line (example: http://172.29.2.226) and transfer it.
After selecting the user and entering the password (see section 5.1.1, Presets) you can now
begin with the parameter setting.
When you are logged on, the start mask appears with the menu tree for navigating to the indi-
vidual parameter-setting functions.
Online all telecontrol parameters can be set in the same manner as offline. The only exception
is the configuration of the I/O modules.
With a startup SICAM MIC learns the actually existing configuration of the modules. If a con-
figuration is not yet set on the SIM card, then the modules are automatically transferred in the
correct order in the menu tree. The same is valid when I/O modules are added (attached to an
already set configuration). The parameters of newly detected modules are assigned with their
default values.
After the exchange of a module with a module of the same type the originally configured pa-
rameters are retained. If in contrast to the set configuration, I/O modules are removed or their
order changed, then an error is signaled and the red ER-LED activated.
For further details, see section 5.1.5.1, System Settings, Reset all Parameters.
The telecontrol parameters stored in SICAM MIC can be saved on a data medium, or read in
from a data medium.
By clicking on Upload/Download in the menu tree the mask for parameter management
opens.
This function is used for transferring the parameters from SICAM MIC to a file (Download), for
example in order to duplicate the corresponding project.
Click with the right mouse button on DOWNLOAD PARAMETER (RIGHT CLICK, SAVE TARGET AS). A
browse window opens for specifying the destination file and the destination path.
The default filename is produced from the 3 names for customer, plant and station. The file-
name can be renamed, the suggested type identification mic should be retained for the access
to the file by WEBmic.
After confirming with OK the parameter record is read from the SIM card of SICAM MIC and
stored in the set file.
A parameter record stored in a file can be loaded into SICAM MIC (Upload). The file can have
been created previously with the function download parameters or by creating a new pro-
ject with WEBmic. As with Save, the file type mic should be used.
Enter the name of the source path and the source file either directly in the input line or select
these with the search function.
With a mouse click on the button Browse… a window opens, in which the source can be lo-
cated.
With a mouse click on the button Open the path and filename are transferred.
The parameter record is now written to the SIM card of SICAM MIC. However, before it is
checked, if the parameters are valid.
Note
For the transmission over Ethernet it is recommended to deactivate the settings for HTTP 1.1 on your PC
(Control panel | Internet options | Advanced). Otherwise the possibility exists, that the transferred
ASCII file of SICAM MIC can not be interpreted.
Regardless of whether you enter into a project offline or online, you can set all telecontrol pa-
rameters
System settings
Time settings
Communication
Periphery
By clicking in the menu tree on System settings the mask for setting the system parameters
is opened.
Changed parameters are stored on the SIM card or in the file by clicking the button Apply .
The setting of the compatibility mode is only active online after a startup.
Note
Certain parameters are only active after change and application with a subsequent startup of SICAM MIC
(see section 5.1.6.2, Startup Request due to Parameter Modification).
The details relating to the parameters are described in section 7.1, System Settings.
Plant Data
The initial set plant data (customer, plant, station name) can be changed at any time. The
storage takes place upon transfer. After refreshing of the user interface the station name will
be displayed in the header. The filename which is put together from the original customer in-
formation remains unaffected.
5.1.5.1.2 IP Configuration
IP addresses serve for the communication between engineering PC and SICAM MIC (refer to
3.7.2.3, Define IP Addresses).
Note
The IP settings are dependent on the configuration and the transmission media used in the network. For
setting these values please contact your network administrator.
The own IP address will be assigned to the SICAM MIC webserver, the remote IP Ad-
dress will be assigned to the engineering PC, if that is configured for obtaining the IP address
automatically. For this, check the network settings of your PC under Settings | Network and
Dial-up Connections | Local Area Connection | Properties | Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) | Properties (path indication is depending on the different operating systems).
For further details refer to section 3.7.2.3.1, Point-to-Point Connection via Serial Interface.
For a point-to-point link an arbitrary IP address can be assigned to a SICAM MIC. The ini-
tial parameter setting can be done by selection of the default IP address 172.16.0.3, or
with the function "write Ethernet IP address" of WEBmic. The webserver assignes an IP
address automatically to the engineering PC, if this is configured for the automatic takeo-
ver of an IP address.
For further details refer to section 3.7.2.3.2, Point-to-Point Connection via Ethernet Inter-
face.
For a network link the addresses are to be set and administrated corresponding to your
plant configuration. The initial setting can be done by selection of the default IP address
172.16.0.3, unless SICAM MIC is located in another subnet.
For further details refer to section 3.7.2.3.3, LAN/WAN Connection via Ethernet Interface.
Note
The IP address can also be changed via the user interface. If SICAM MIC can no longer respond with the
new address from the web browser, then the IP address can only be corrected again online with the help
of WEBmic.
The initial setting of the Ethernet IP address of a SICAM MIC can be done apart from the system settings
also online with the help of WEBmic.
It is differed between upper and lower case, special characters as "." or "/" are permitted. The
procedure applies in the same manner for the users "Administrator" and "Guest".
Note
If the output D01 is used as watchdog or error output, then on the master control unit now only 1 infor-
mation or command output (D00) is available. Then a double-command output via the master control unit
is not possible.
Error Messages
For the messaging of a sum error for the types "error" and "failure" a free address (IOA1,
IOA2, IOA3) can be defined.
Compatibility Mode
It can be differentiated, whether SICAM MIC is connected with an automation unit of the older
system family (SK-Mode) or the current system family (Ax-Mode).
Online, all parameters can be reset to their default values. An already existing configuration is
thereby lost and the parameter setting can be attached as with the creation of a new project.
To do this, click on the button Parameter reset and confirm with Yes .
The parameters are now reset and an automatic startup of SICAM MIC is executed. The cur-
rent configuration of the modules is thereby learned.
The data of the automation function (optionally loaded IL) remain unaffected.
Note
It must be considered that with the resetting of the parameters the IP addresses are also affected (serial
and Ethernet). If no connection to SICAM MIC can be established, a valid IP address must be set again
(see section 5.1.5.1.2, IP Configuration.
Offline, the parameters can be reset only module by module by means of removing or ex-
changing a module in the Hardware Configuration.
The default values for the individual parameters are specified in section 7.1, System Settings.
By clicking in the menu tree on Parameter | Time settings the mask for setting the time pa-
rameters is opened.
The internal clock of SICAM MIC is used for time-tagging of generated data (from the periph-
erals and optional IL). The time stamp has a resolution of 10 ms.
The time is displayed in the header of the user interface online. Here the updating does not
take place continuously, but rather with each updating of the web browser.
Settings
With the help of pull-down menus the time zone and, if necessary, a rule for the summer-
wintertime switching can be adjusted. Changes are stored in the file or on the SIM card by
clicking the button Apply . In online operation the settings are immediately active (no startup
required).
With communication according to IEC 60870-5-104 the time can be synchronized via SNTP
(Simple Network Time Protocol). To achieve this, the IP address of up to 4 SNTP servers can
be entered, as well as the cycle time of the SNTP synchronization. The settings thereto reside
within the mask Parameter | Communication | Protocol | Settings under TIME
SYNCHRONISATION (NTP).
Additionally, the time can be set online manually. This is especially useful for the stand-alone
mode (see section 6.4.2.4.2, Local Setting of the Time).
Information concerning time synchronization resides within section 6.4.2.4, Diagnosis of the
Time, and concerning the settings in section 7.2, Time Settings.
With a change to the type of communication, the configuration mask refreshes immediately
with the respective specific parameters. Working online, the button Apply must be clicked for
this if necessary.
The changed settings are stored by clicking on the button Apply (SIM card or file). When pa-
rameterizing online a startup of the system is required, so that the settings become active.
The meaning and the value ranges for the individual protocol parameters are explained in sec-
tion 7.3, Communication.
Common Settings
Independently from the type of communication, for each information object type can be de-
fined whether a transmission shall be carried out with or eithout time tag.
With selection multipoint traffic or dial-up traffic, the supported transmission facilities can be
set, as well as the number of bytes for the standardized identifiers in the message header ac-
cording to IEC 60870-5-101:
Link address
Common address of the ASDU (CASDU)
Information object address (IOA)
Cause of transmission (COT)
Type identifiers (TI)
The setting of the transmission rate (baudrate) enables the reduction of the data volume for
the transmission to the central station and the adaptation to the transmission facility.
By clicking in the menu tree on Parameter | Communication | Protocol | Settings the set-
tings mask for the protocol is opened.
According to the selected type of communication, the specific settings can be performed here.
Changes are stored by clicking on the button Apply (SIM card or file). With parameter setting
online the settings are subsequently active, no startup is required.
The meaning and the value ranges for the individual protocol parameters are explained in the
sections 7.3.1, Protocol Configuration and 7.3.2, Protocol Settings.
For SICAM MIC an automatic monitor can be set. At a fixed time the substation tries to set up
a connection to the master control. The time for the communication setup is free settable
(hour, minute).
If in the network at a defined moment a connection setup is carried out already (example:
counter interrogation), delay times can be prevented as long as the monitoring function is trig-
gered temporal as far as possible from that moment.
SICAM MIC makes available integrated functions for the technological preparation of the in-
puts/outputs (preprocessing of signals, postprocessing of signals).
In a SICAM MIC a maximum of 8 I/O modules can be operated. The following module types
are supported:
In addition to this, the master control modules are also equipped with binary inputs/outputs.
Corresponding to the set configuration of the modules, their names can be found again in the
menu tree under the menu item Periphery. The same structure is also located under the
menu item HW Documentation.
In the mask Parameter | Periphery | <module name> | Configuration the respective module-
specific inputs or outputs appear.
Module specific a list of the pins and their settings appear. These settings specify type, name
and information object address (IOA) of each data point.
Here, the inputs/outputs fixed assigned to the I/O module can be freely assigned from the
hardware to data points in the software.
The assignment of the electrical signals to an I/O module is carried out according to the rela-
tive terminal assignment. Based on the order of the configured modules, the system calcu-
lates an absolute data point address (DP) for each input and output. This is unambiguous
within a SICAM MIC.
Via parameter setting the electrical signals are assigned to information objects. Each infor-
mation object is given an information object address (IOA1, IOA2, IOA3) for unambiguous
identification. This address is used for assigning the electrical signals for communication
(telecontrol) and for control (automation).
In the default is IOA1=DP, IOA2=0, IOA3=0. Alternatively for each information object an op-
tional IOA (respectively between 0 and 255) can be parameterized.
Altogether up to 256 data points can be configured. In addition, a long text of up to 10 charac-
ters can be freely assigned to each data point. This text is used both in the Documentation as
well as for a logging of the respective data point in the Display Event List.
4-wire
The precise description of the different information objects and the type identifiers (TI) can be
seen in the section 7.5, Process Periphery.
In the mask Parameter | Periphery | <module name> | Settings depending on the module-
specific configuration, name and type of the assigned inputs/outputs appear automatically with
their specific parameters.
The exact description of the module specific parameters and value ranges is - structured by
information object type - in the section 7.5, Process Periphery.
For the acquisition of single-point or double-point information a digital input module must be
configured. The local inputs on the master control module can be used also.
Class 1 Data
By means of selection via the corresponding check box a binary information is assigned to the
Class 1 (marked) or to the Class 2 (not marked).
In both cases the spontaneous transmission to the central station takes place upon each
change of state of the binary information (exception: Class 2 data with dial-up traffic).
For double-point information items the OFF and ON contact can be inverted seperately. This
is useful, if for example a feeder signal is configured as closed-circuit contact, and the other
one as open-circuit contact.
During the natural run time of the actuator (from OFF to ON or CLOSED to OPEN etc.) how-
ever, a fault message must not be output. Therefore the intermediate state message can be
suppressed by an adjustable time. Only at expiration of the monitoring time and still present
intermediate position, the fault is reported.
For the acquisition of binary information items a digital input module must be configured. The
local inputs on the master control module can be used also.
Class 1 Data
By means of selection via the corresponding check box an integrated total is assigned to the
Class 1 (marked) or to the Class 2 (not marked).
In both cases the spontaneous transmission of the integrated total to the central station takes
place interval controlled (exception: Class 2 data with dial-up traffic).
The counting value is frozen and transmitted spontaneously to the central station in the ad-
justed time-scale. With dial-up traffic a counting value of the Class 2 is only frozen.
HH:00:00
HH:15:00
HH:30:00
HH:45:00
If instead of the interval control a counter interrogation is adjusted, the counting value is only
frozen and transmitted on request by the central station.
Counter Groups
Each counting value can be classified to a group (adjustable group 1…4). Due to individual
defined criteria, the counter groups can be requested independently from the master control
(spontaneous information object "counter interrogation").
For the acquisition of currents and voltages an appropriate analog input module must be con-
figured.
Class 1 Data
By means of selection via the corresponding check box a current value or a voltage value is
assigned to the Class 1 (marked) or to the Class 2 (not marked).
In both cases the spontaneous transmission of the current or voltage value to the central sta-
tion takes place threshold value controlled (exception: Class 2 data with dial-up traffic).
For the acquisition of temperatures an analog input module AI-6310 must be configured.
Class 1 Data
By means of selection via the corresponding check box a temperature value is assigned to the
Class 1 (marked) or to the Class 2 (not marked).
In both cases the spontaneous transmission of the temperature value to the central station
takes place threshold value controlled (exception: Class 2 data with dial-up traffic).
In 2-wire technology, it is necessary to compensate for the voltage drop on the measuring cir-
cuits by means of a calibration process, during which so-called calibration-values are created.
If a calibration process has never been performed, this is signaled by the diagnostic message
“factory calibration for 2-wire technology not performed”.
The instructions for the calibration exist in appendix D, Connection of Resistance Thermome-
ters.
Note
In 3- and 4-wire technology, it is absolutely necessary to connect the common (IREFx,y-) and, in 4-wire
technology, in addition the current source output (IREFx+) directly to the resistance thermometer.
Class 1 Data
By means of selection via the corresponding check box a frequency value is assigned to the
Class 1 (marked) or to the Class 2 (not marked).
In both cases the spontaneous transmission of the frequency value to the central station takes
place threshold value controlled (exception: Class 2 data with dial-up traffic).
For the acquisition of revolutions per minute a module TE-6420 must be configured.
It is recommended to use a CP-6040 since all the online functions are considerably faster via
the Ethernet than via the serial interface. Further, using a CP-6020 the communication must
be interrupted for an online function.
Via the corresponding check box you can decide whether the value is output with (marked) or
without (not marked) sign.
Instead of "guide vane closed" an equivalent information like "nozzle closed" can be allocated.
By means of assignment of an IOA unequal 0/0/0 for the digital input signal, you can decide
whether the single-point information is used.
if the difference of both speeds is greater than the set value (then the signal with the
smaller value is set to "faulty").
upon open-circuit.
During running machine a sensor fault does not lead to a malfunction. After a shutdown, how-
ever, there is no direction noted and no outputs are set. A fault of the sensor signals should be
considered in the startup/shutdown sequence of automatic operations.
Note
If the deviation is set too small, error messages may occur upon change of small speeds.
Enter for the activation of the desired output a threshold value and an operate lag, and for the
termination a hysteresis.
You can define the monitoring direction by means of selection greater/smaller (raising/falling
speed).
With a configuration with 2 sensors you can define the sense of rotation by means of selection
foreward or backward.
Normally the threshold values are performed as make contacts. If a break contact functionality
is desired, the output must be set inverse.
For the activation of the function enter the number of speed pulses and the monitoring time
within the speed pulses are counted up.
For the activation and termination of the digital output you can enter a common delay time.
For the activation of the function enter the number of speed pulses, from which the digital out-
put shall be activated (the value must be smaller than that for the standstill detection).
Caution
With an impulse frequency greater than 4.1Hz the creep contact will be reset (this must be considered in
the sequence of automatic operations). The creep detection is active only with closed guide vane.
Class 1 Data
By means of selection via the corresponding check box a speed value is assigned to the
Class 1 (marked) or to the Class 2 (not marked).
In both cases the spontaneous transmission of the speed value to the central station takes
place threshold value controlled (exception: Class 2 data with dial-up traffic).
For the output of commands (OC) an appropriate digital output module must be configured.
The local outputs on the master control module can be used also.
If the return information of the actuator does not arrive within this time, an error message
takes place. The time value can be selected independently of the command output time.
The adjustable time value applies for all the commands of the respective I/O module.
Note
In order to avoid errors in the signaling of an unsuccessful command initiation, the state information moni-
toring time should be longer than the command output time.
Secured Commands
Besides the standard command output SICAM MIC provides the command output with inter-
nal checks (IC) and the command output with resistance check (RC1).
For the realization of secured commands the corresponding digital output modules must be
configured (mask HW Configuration in the menu tree):
Please consider the guidelines in the SICAM MIC System Description, chapter “System Over-
view”, section “Architecture” |”I/O Modules” | "Hardware Configuration Rules".
The detailed description for the checked commands can be found in the section 7.5.9, Pulse
Command Output.
For the output of binary information items an appropriate digital output module must be con-
figured. The local outputs on the master control module can be used also.
Terminate output
The information output will be reset (logical "0").
Keep output
The information output will be "frozen" with the last output state.
For the output of currents or voltages an analog output module AO-6380 must be configured.
Keep output
The last output value will be "frozen".
Output substitute value
The value which is entered in the field SUBSTITUTE VALUE will be output.
5.1.5.7.1 Common
The decentralized archive (DEAR) serves for the archiving of data points that are used in the
telecontrol function or in the automation function.
DEAR can be configured online (webserver) or offline (WEBmic), just like the settings for data
points of the telecontrol function. Data points of the automation function can be configured on-
ly online automatically (see section 5.1.5.7.4, Archiving Data Points from PLC).
First the archive must be configured. To do this, click in the menu tree Decentral
Archive | Configuration to enter the parameters.
Note
It is not possible to call the archive from more than one different control system which use different set-
tings for the number of bytes for CASDU, IOA, COT, because the settings for these parameters affect the
whole archive of a automation unit.
Note
The addresses that are calculated automatically are not shown in the web browser. If such an address is
set in the parameterization of the telecontrol function within SICAM MIC, an error message occurs on
attempt to apply.
Click in the menu tree on Decentral Archive | Data Points PE and an automatically gener-
ated list of the data points available through the configuration of I/O modules appears.
The desired data points for the entry in the archive can be marked by clicking the respective
checkbox ARCHIVE.
If you want to store data points in the decentralized archive that are programmed in the IL, the
respective addresses (IOA) must be entered in a list, and marked by clicking on the respective
checkbox ARCHIVE.
You reach the list by clicking on Decentral Archive | Data points PLC in the menu tree.
Note
After a cold restart all the data points which are used un the IL are entered automatically into the list. If
necessary, the selection for the archive can be changed manually.
After filling out the list click on the button Apply. The system checks automatically if the
datapoints are available, and adds the correct type identification for each datapoint.
Caution
By a later change of the Instruction List (IL) or change of addresses in the parameter setting (periphery)
the datapoint numbers may change. During startup SICAM MIC checks if the assignment of the datapoint
number to the information object address and the type identification is valid. If this is not the case, the
complete archive will be deleted and an error information is recorded in the History Diagnosis.

Via access to the integrated webserver of SICAM MIC (user interface online) operating func-
tions that serve for test, commissioning and diagnostics of the telecontrol function can be exe-
cuted:
Startup
Reset all parameters to default values
Process visualization
state of inputs/outputs
simulation of outputs
Event list
A startup of SICAM MIC can be initiated independently of a parameter change, by clicking the
button Reset in the menu Parameter | System settings.
Note
After a change of the IP address of a SICAM MIC a startup is always executed automatically. The same is
applicable if the parameters are reset to default values (see section 5.1.5.1, System Setting, Reset all
Parameters).Reset all Parameters
Warning
A startup has also consequences for the automation function (if used). For details thereto refer to section
5.2.2, Commissioning and Test.
Certain parameters can only be activated after a startup of the systems. In this case the indi-
cation line parameter active after reset appears in the mask title, as soon as
changed parameter has been transferred.
Even further parameters – also in different masks – can be changed, before all are switched
active together by means of a startup. The startup can be executed with a click on the interac-
tive part Reset in the indication line.
The states of the binary and analog inputs/outputs can be visualized online. To do this, click in
the menu tree on Visualization and then on the required module.
The updating does not take place continuously and if required must therefore be retriggered
with a repeated click on the required module, or by clicking on View | Refresh in the web
browser.

Warning
The manual controlling of outputs with the plant running can lead to damage to persons and machines.
Ensure that aggregates in the control area of the command output as well as those subsequent aggre-
gates in the process chain are protected and that persons in the vicinity are warned.
Binary Outputs
By selecting in a pull-down menu, depending on which state it is in, you can set and transfer a
binary output either to On or to Off. Only one output can be written for each transfer.
Analog Outputs
You can set and transfer an analog output to any optional value within the type-specific value
range. Only one output can be written for each transfer.
By selecting the mask Decentral Archive | Event list in the menu tree, the display of events
(process information) can be reached.
In the event list all the spontaneous datapoints which are configured in the substation will be
logged chronologically upon a change of state.
The time tagging has a resolution of 1ms and is carried out automatically by the firmware, just
as the logging.
The event list records up to 100 signaling entries. For this the firmware utilizes a ring buffer,
which means if the signaling buffer has been fully written, the respective oldest signal entry is
overwritten by the most current.
For documentation or archiving purposes the current content of the event list can be exported
and stored in a file locally on your PC.
Specify the name and path for your destination file in the browse window. The default file type
is csv. Then the file can be opened as Microsoft Excel ® table or also with a text editor.
Specify the name and path for your destination file in the browse window. The default file type
is xml. Then the file can be opened with the web browser.
The current event list can be cleared by clicking on the button clear and then confirming the
query with OK . Subsequently an empty mask appears with the status information event
list cleared in the header. With a new selection in the menu tree one returns to the event
list.
Note
The event list is also cleared if the voltage supply of SICAM MIC is interrupted for at least 10 s.
By selecting the mask Decentral Archive | Download in the menu tree you reach the dis-
play of the current file directory.
In the DEAR all the spontaneous datapoints which are configured to store in the archive will
be logged chronologically upon a change of state. Commands and binary information in re-
ceive direction are also included.
Specify the name and path for your destination file in the browse window. The default file type

The saved file can be opened afterwards with the web browser.
The DEAR is stored on the SIM card. The archive can be deleted automatically (information in
the menu Diagnosis | Overview)
after power failure during the writing of a file on the SIM card
if the SIM card is plugged into another master control element

Upon request of the superior control center system a file transfer may happen. While this process is run-
ning an operation or display via the web browser can not take place.
Attempting to select a HTML page, then the information occurs that at this time a display is not possible.
5.2 Automation
For the creation of an Instruction List an ASCII Editor (for instance Microsoft Notepad®) is re-
quired. The programming takes place independently from the target system.
You find an overview on the Automation Function, as well as the instruction for the program
creation, in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basis System Ele-
ments, Chapter “Automation”, section “Restricted Automation Function”.
Note
For the program creation in FUD the SICAM TOOLBOX II (as of version 4.0), tool "CAEx plus" is required
and the firmware CPC60 as of revision level 14.
The loading into the target system is performed by the integrated webserver of SICAM MIC.
The instructions thereto reside within section 5.2.2.3.2, Save and Load PLC Code.
The structure of the application program consists of 3 parts (execution in this order):
Startup (PLC_RESET)
The startup part is run through once after a startup. Here all variables can be initialized,
that are required directly after startup and before the current initial image.
Initialization (PLC_INIT)
The initialization part is run through once after a startup. Here all variables can be initial-
ized, that are required directly after the current initial image and before the execution of
the cycle part.
Cycle (PLC_START)
The cycle part is run through cyclically. Here, the open-/closed-loop control function is
programmed.
Note
The system provides only one task. The cycle time is definable by means of parameter PLC_CYCLETIME
in the IL. The value can be changed dependent on logic operation by the application program.
5.2.1.2.1 Common
Each instruction command must be in one line. Each line must be concluded with a paragraph
break, line break or both (done automatically by the text editor).
Example:
Each operation produces a calculated value (result). The following operation can calculate fur-
ther with this result.
The format of an I/O variable must correspond with the respective input/output of the periph-
ery.
A command or setpoint value is assigned to an I/O variable by an ST operation and the ad-
dress of the operand. A state or value of an I/O variable is read by an LD operation and the
address of the operand.
I_030_001_000_000_TEST.VALUE
0_031_005_001_000.OFF
E_045_001_001_001_002_003_TEST.VALUE or
E_045_001_001_001_002_003.VALUE
The attribute of the I/O variable must be separated by a ".". An I/O variable without attribute is
not allowed.
Note
If the same IOA is used input- and output side, the freely definable Name must be different.
I/O variables must not contain special signs!
A flag is assigned by an ST operation and the address of the operand. The value of a flag is
written by an LD operation and the address of the operand.
The number format must be chosen according to the format of the value to be stored.
Example:
LD I_030_002_000_000.VALUE
ST M_BOOL_FLAG00
Note
At startup all flags which are not signed as "retain" are initialized with "0".
Functions have only temporary variables, therefore with each call all necessary call parame-
ters must be set. Not used call parameters do not affect the result on execution of the func-
tion.
Example: If an addition (ADD) of 3 values is performed, then the inputs IN0, IN1, IN2 are
used. The remaining inputs are automatically set to "0".
The writing of inputs of a function must always begin with IN0 and take place in ascending
order without gaps.
The name of the call parameter is produced from the name of the function and the name of
the parameter separated by a ".".
Example:
The results of the respective functions are written in the accumulator. In the example the value
is also stored on the flag M_DINT_RESULT.
After the call of a function (CAL) all inputs of the respective function are set to the default val-
ues again.
Example:
If a comparison of two values is performed, the output is set if the flag M_DINT_COMPARE is
written with 3 (the writing of the flag is not included here).
Function blocks do not have any temporary variables. Each new (derived) function block oc-
cupies a new memory in the RAM.
Respectively the first result of the function block is written in the accumulator. If a function
block has more than one result, then this can be accessed as with the parameter transfer.
Example:
LD 1
ST CTU_TEST.CU
ST CTU_TEST.R
LD 5
ST CTU_TEST.PV
CAL CTU_TEST
LD CTU_TEST.CV (*access to 2nd result*)
Comments in the application program can be set at any arbitrary place and must begin with
"(*" and end with "*)". The documentation can also extend over several lines.
Example:
By means of predefined system variables the following parameters can be set for the program
execution:
Cycle time
Spontaneous program execution
Data flow control
The cycle time determines the time interval for the execution of the Instruction List.
The shorter the set interval is the smaller must be the IL, otherwise the processing time is ex-
ceeded. A cycle time of 2 ms for instance is only possible for very small Instruction Lists.
The cycle time can be specified in the IL with the variable PLC_CYCLETIME:
Example:
PLC_RESET:
LD 20
ST PLC_CYCLETIME (*set cycle time 20ms*)
If the cycle time is set to the value "0", no cyclic program execution takes place.
Under certain circumstances the cycle time can be changed independently by the system:
Note
It is to be considered, that the processing time of an application program can be variable. Amongst other
things, it is also influenced by control operations using the web browser.
The processing time of the application program is displayed on the user interface (online) un-
der PLC | Diagnosis.
Simultaneously an error information is set (error number 033, see section C.1.1, Error Indica-
tions).
For faster reaction times, the application program can be executed spontaneous (event-
controlled). This must be defined in the startup part of the IL (PLC_RESET).
The spontaneous program execution is enabled in the IL by setting the variable PLC_SINGLE
to "1" ("single run").
Example:
PLC_RESET:
LD 1
ST PLC_SINGLE (*set single processing*)
With a spontaneous program execution the entire application program is processed one time.
If an event occurs just when the application program would run, then the spontaneous pro-
gram execution is first started after the current program execution has completed (the applica-
tion program cannot interrupt itself). The reaction time can therefore be delayed accordingly.
If several events occur at the same time or one after the other just when the application pro-
gram is running, then the states are temporarily stored in a ring and processed chronologically
with the next spontaneous program execution. The same is also valid if a data point changes
its state several times (transient storage). For further details refer to the SICAM RTUs Com-
mon Functions System and Basis System Elements, chapter "Automation", section “Restricted
Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function”, section "Internal Signal Processing".
At the end of each spontaneous pass the cyclic pass is retriggered around the set cycle time.
In this case no exceeding of the cycle time is signaled.
As long as the events occur in a time-scale that is smaller than the cycle time, only spontane-
ous program passes take place. If the cycle time is set to "0" and the spontaneous program
execution to "1", then only spontaneous program passes take place.
Example:
C C S1 C S2 C
tD t
tP tP tP tP tP
tC tC tC tC
With the variable PLC_TX_DATAFLOW_xxx (xxx = typ identifier) in the IL it can be deter-
mined, how the input signals from the periphery are to be forwarded. The parameter setting is
carried out seperately for each type identification and must be programmed in the startup part
of the IL (PLC_RESET):
1)
Control
2)
1) Data from the communication are sent either direct to the periphery or to the control.
2) Data from the periphery are sent either direct to the communication or to the control.
By means of a systemvariable the data flow can be directed in such a way, that the data from
the periphery are sent direct to the communication as well as parallel to the control.
Example:
PLC_RESET:
LD 1
ST PLC_TX_DATAFLOW_030 (*all single-point information is to be
sent parallel to the PLC AND to the communication*)
By means of predefined system variables the following information items can be evaluated in
the control logic:
System time
Processing time
Processing time exceeded (yes/no)
Number of program runs
Moment of the last parameter change
System error
Note
The system information is are also displayed in the user interface (online) under the Diagnosis of the
Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function.
If a command (Activation, ACT) is generated by the controller and output to a peripheral ele-
ment, then the messages for command acknowledgement (ACTCON) and command termina-
tion (ACTTERM) are generated with the corresponding output address of the controller.
If the output address of the controller is the same as the input address, then both messages
are automatically transmitted again to the controller.
Example:
LD 0
ST 0_045_001_001_001.COT
LD 1
ST 0_045_001_001_001.S
If this function is not used, the ACTCON and ACTTERM can also be generated individually (for
this at least 2 cycle passes are required).
Note
As of Revision 14 of the firmware CPC60 the corresponding type identification can be generated by means
of utilization of the command "with/without time" (for instance TI 45/TI 58).
With lower revision level only tipe identifications without time can be generated (for instance TI 45).
01 (OFF)
10 (ON)
Other states will not generate a command.
With the system variable PLC_SYSERROR_xxx (xxx = error number) system errors can be
read and linked further in the IL. An overview of the system errors that can be processed in
the ILcan be found in section C.1.1, Error Indications.
Example:
PLC_START
LD PLC_SYSERROR_006 (*queue overflow class 2 if bit="1"*)
ST M_BOOL_ERROR006 (*store in a flag*)
The integrated webserver of SICAM MIC contains functions for the loading and saving of data,
test, commissioning and diagnostics. These functions can be executed with the user interface
online:
Startup
Configuration
Diagnosis
Test functions
state of inputs/outputs
simulation of outputs
Internal Procedure
With a startup of SICAM MIC all flags, times and counters used in the application program are
set to "0". All flags that are identified as non-volatile (retain), are loaded from NV-RAM. The
entire input process image of the controller is initialized with the current state of the periphery.
Variable Value
T, PN, COT 0
ORIGINATOR 0
OV, S, GI, SB, BL, IV, CLASS1, CA, CY, SQ 0
NT 1
User data 0
Time 01:01:2000 00:00:00.000
Note
The communication (serial or Ethernet) is first begun after one single, complete pass of the cycle part of
the application program (PLC_START).
After the loading of the application program, a startup is requested by SICAM MIC and per-
formed automatically.
Internal Procedure
The newly loaded IL is converted upon startup of the system automatically by a compiler and
written in a separate area of the Flash-PROM (checksum secured).
If the compiler detects a syntax error (violation of the language conventions), then the PLC is
stopped. In the masks Diagnosis | Overview and Diagnosis | History Diagnosis the sum
error PLC syntax error PLC halted is reported. On the master control module the red
ER-LED lights up.
If the compiler detects no error, two startups are carried out. Subsequently the application
program is processed from the Flash-PROM.
After the loading of the application program the sector of the NV-RAM is initialized for the con-
troller (either according to default or with the explicitly specified initialization values, see in
section 5.2.1.4, Settings in the Application Program).
The syntax errors are displayed in the mask PLC | Diagnosis under ERROR WHILE COMPILING.
In the mask PLC | Debug is displayed, whether the PLC is running or is stopped.
5.2.2.3 Configuration
The functions for managing the optional IL are located in the menu tree under
PLC | Configuration.
To execute automation functions there must be an appropriate IL on the SIM card of the mas-
ter control module. The IL cannot be programmed directly on the SIM card, but rather only
created in the form of a text file on the PC. This file can then be transferred online to the SIM
card.
Note
The larger the IL the longer the loading and saving takes. The same is also applicable for the startup
operation, as well as all access- and screen updating times.
With this function the execution of the application program can be disabled or enabled.
With disabled program execution the automation function is not active. For the data points that
are used in the IL the data flow changes: Data from the periphery are then sent directly to the
communication, data from the communication are sent directly to the periphery.
To switch over, under PLC PROGRAM EXECUTION select between disabled and enabled and
click with the mouse on the button Apply . The indication Parameter active after re-
set appears, since a startup of the system is required for activating the switchover. The
startup can be initiated directly by clicking on the interactive text reset.
With disabled program execution all variables (flags, timers and counters) remain reset, and
the outputs at their parameterized state. After renewed enabling, likewise a startup must be
carried out. The startup- and the initialization part of the application program are then pro-
cessed, before the cyclic program execution begins.
If the application program is disabled at the moment of a pass, then it is first processed com-
pletely and then remains stationary at the beginning (line 0). The test functions (see section
5.2.2.4, Test Functions) are irrelevant with program execution disabled.
Note
If no application program is loaded the program execution must be disabled, otherwise the red ER-LED
lights up and the information PLC enabled no PLC code available is output in the diagnosis.
Click with the right mouse button on the logic operation DOWNLOAD PLC CODE (RIGHT CLICK, SAVE
TARGET AS). A browse window appears for selecting the target path and the target file. The
suggested file type plc should be retained.
The target is a text file, that contains the application program code in ASCII format. The file
can be edited with any optional text editor (e.g. Notepad).
To do this, enter the source path and the source file in the input line UPLOAD PLC CODE, or use
the button Browse to select the source file using the Browse window.
Then click the button Upload in order to write the IL to the SIM card.
After loading an IL and subsequent startup, SICAM MIC performs a Cold Restart. After that,
the PLC is running the application program cyclically or spontaneously.
Note
For the transmission over Ethernet it is recommended to deactivate the settings for HTTP 1.1 on your PC
(Control panel | Internet options | Advanced). Otherwise the possibility exists, that the trans-
ferred ASCII file of SICAM MIC can not be interpreted.
To do this, in the WEBmic pop-up menu click on the function Read PLC from SIM Card. A
browse window appears for selecting the target path and the target file. The file type plc is
fixed defined.
To do this, in the WEBmic pop-up menu click on the function Write PLC to SIM Card. A
browse window appears for selecting the source path and the source file. The file type plc is
fixed defined.
After an IL is loaded it is automatically compiled in the machine language specific for the sys-
tem. By means of a mouse click on the button PLC recompile this can be performed again
at any time.
The function is first activated with confirmation of a query. Subsequently a startup (cold re-
start) is required, which the system executes automatically.
All variables, including the non-volatile flags, are reset to their default values.
With a mouse click on the button PLC erase the IL is erased from the SIM card. The parame-
ters remain unaffected by this. An already existing IL is overwritten with renewed loading of an
IL, therefore no erasing is necessary.
The function is only activated with confirmation of a query. Subsequently a startup is required,
which the system executes automatically.
After each startup of the system, one must log on again. On the user interface the following in-
formation appears:
The underlined output line is a hyperlink to the start page of the currently processed station
(the IP address specified here is to be regarded as an example).
In the menu PLC | Debug there are functions for test commissioning. In the lower adjustable
part of the mask the application program code (IL) loaded on the SIM card is output. Here the
application program code can be read online, but not changed.

By means of the selection start or halt and mouse click on the button Apply you can halt or
start the program execution. Depending on the state the display changes in the mask PLC is
running or program halted at <line>. If the program execution remains halted after a
start attempt, there is an error or the program execution is disabled. Read the error messages
under Diagnosis | History Diagnosis or under PLC | Diagnosis.
In contrast to the function DISABLE PLC PROGRAM EXECUTION (see section 5.2.2.3.1, Enable and
Disable PLC Program Execution) a startup is not necessary to start and stop the program ex-
ecution.
After transfer of the stop command, a pass of the application program that has already begun
runs to the end, the application program remains stationary at the beginning of the cyclic exe-
cution (PLC_START). The momentary signal states are thereby retained, and variables can be
read out and overwritten. The data flow does not change, the data points from the communi-
cation and from the periphery continue to be sent only to the controller.
After a renewed start command, the application program begins again at the beginning of the
cyclic execution (without pass of the startup part and the initialization part).
The program execution can be halted at an optional command line of the IL by entering the
number of the program line in the input field HALT PLC AT LINE and clicking the button Apply .
The program execution can be halted by comparing a variable with a constant. For this, enter
the name of the variable in the input field VARIABLE, select the required comparison operation
(==/</<=/>=/>) and enter the value at the right beside it.
As soon as the comparison is fulfilled, the application program is processed to the end and
halted at the beginning of the cyclic part.
The current values of variables can be read out or manually overwritten (simulated). Both are
only possible with enabled program execution.
The test function processes only the variables used in the IL. All type-specific attributes are
supported.
The syntax of the variable must correspond to the conventions for I/O variables and flags (see
section 5.2.1.2, Syntax for Instructions).
When simulating a variable the format of the input value must correspond with the data type
(BOOL, DINT, REAL). Always only one variable can be interchanged at one moment.

Flags
Read Variable
In the corresponding pull-down menu select read. Write the name of the variable together
with attribute in the input line or copy it from the IL. Then click on the button Apply . The cur-
rent value of the variable is displayed in the field W ITH/IS.
Write Variable
In the corresponding pull-down menu select write. Write the name of the variable together
with attribute in the input line or copy it from the IL. Then click on the button Apply . Enter the
simulated value in the field WITH/IS. Then click on the button Apply to write the variable with
the value.
Note
With application program running the simulated value of a flag is statically overwritten. In contrast to this,
inputs/outputs are not statically overwritten, rather only with a change to their process image (edge-
triggered).
With application program stopped simulated values are retained.
After switching over between writing and reading, the button Apply must be clicked in order
to transfer the command. The writing or reading of a value takes place with each further click
of the button Apply .

As soon as the I/O module is supplied or a startup is triggered by power-on, the ER-LED on
the master control module lights up.
Subsequently the program memory is checked. If there is an error present in the PROM, then
the startup is not aborted, but the system is not READY (therefore no RY-LED, ER-LED lights
up). A diagnosis of the system must be carried out.
Since the ER-LED is activated via the firmware, the ER-LED also does not light up if a mas-
sive error occurs in the PROM that causes a failure of the firmware (see section 6.6.2.1, Er-
rors upon Loading the Firmware).
If the PROM-Test concludes without error, the RY-LED lights up on all configured modules.
Another test compares the I/O module configuration defined by parameters with the actual
physical configuration. If the configuration does not match, from the first faulty module all sub-
sequent modules are not READY (RY-LED does not light up). That means, that the removal of
already learned modules is only possible through re-parameterization of the configuration (pa-
rameter setting offline).
Note
If a faulty configuration of I/O modules for pulse commands is present, the pulse command output is
blocked (for all modules). A faulty configuration is also present if
– a DO-622x is configured, but no DO-6230
– a DO-6230 is configured, but no DO-622x
– more than one DO-622x is configured.
The I/O modules are checked cyclically for functioning over the TM Bus. A failure is detected
after max. 200 ms. The "RY" LED goes out on the corresponding I/O module.
After replacing the I/O module, failed I/O modules are started up again exclusively by running
up the master control element.
Caution
The module can only be replaced with the supply voltage turned off!
The behavior of the outputs depends on the parameter "Failure mode" and the I/O module.
Fundamentally, with all modules that support the binary information output, the option exists to
"Terminate output" or "Keep output" with a communication failure.
An analog output module can "output a substitute value" or "terminate the output":

Parameter setting
SICAM TOOLBOX II: the input of the parameters is subjected to - as far as logically re-
cordable - parameter-specific conventions or plausibility checks. Faulty inputs are noti-
fied or directly prevented with the entry.
Web browser: If a in principle permitted parameter setting, that however does not
match the physically present system elements, is loaded into the target system, the
method of procedure is as with hardware errors.
Programming
SICAM TOOLBOX II: supervision by the CAEx plus compiler and logging in an error in-
formation list during compiling of the application program code.
Web browser: no supervision upon entry possible; error notification via PLC diagnosis.
Operator errors
Are largely excluded by the user interface. Naturally, all operator inputs, such as for ex-
ample the loading of parameters and application programs, are subject to the responsibil-
ity of the user. Profound knowledge of the automation technique in general, as well as the
documents mentioned in the preface, is presumed.
A list of error messages which are indicated in the diagnostic can be found in the Appendix
C.1.1, Error Indications.
Note
The logging via diagnostic functions is for SICAM MIC only possible via a web browser.
Optionally, SICAM MIC sends the Ax error message, as a result a power network overview di-
agnostic with the SICAM TOOLBOX II in a central station is also effective for SICAM MIC.
Further diagnostics performed remotely are only possible when using the Ethernet interface
and web browser. With the serial connection (multi-point-/dial-up traffic) a remote diagnostic is
not possible, since no TCP/IP protocol is implemented. In this case a diagnostic is only possi-
ble with a web browser onsite.
These error bits are transmitted as single-point information. In SICAM MIC they are summa-
rized on two information object addresses (or-linked):
Errors that can occur with the creation of the Function Diagram (for example the linking of a
binary signal to an analog input of a function) are displayed in a separate report window
("POU error check"):
The exact details can be found in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Editors", section "FBD
Editor", section "Operation in FBD Editor".
The binary information are generated after the triggering of a function (for example "Code
generation").
The exact details can be found in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Additional Products",
section "Error-State Viewer".
The exact details can be found in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Target-System Con-
nection", section "Program Messages for Target-System Connection".
Note
An online diagnosis function of the tool "CAEx plus" is not supported for SICAM MIC.
SICAM MIC contains various diagnostic functions for monitoring the system. Since the firm-
ware automatically executes the appropriate error monitoring routines, for this no settings of
any kind by the user are necessary.
Besides the parameter setting and the process visualization, the user interface online (web-
server) includes a diagnostic part for the visualization of status and error information.

By clicking on Diagnosis | Time in the menu tree the diagnosis mask for the time is opened.
Here the time status can be read.
Display
The time status displays whether the time is set and synchronized, and whether the parame-
terized NTP-Servers are available (with communication via IEC 60870-5-104).
Multi-point Traffic
The time is transmitted to SICAM MIC from the control system (time master). So that an accu-
racy of 10 ms is achieved the time master must synchronize at least every 60 s.
Upon failure of the time synchronization after 10 min a warning will be set.
Dial-up Traffic
The time is transmitted to SICAM MIC from the control system (time master). A synchroniza-
tion can only take place each time a connection is established.
Ethernet
When using SNTP the current SNTP server is determined by means of "voting". This takes
place according to the weighting:
Attainability
Stand alone (SNTP server does not receive a time)
Distance (with regard to the time)
With communication via IEC 60870-5-104 upon failure of the time synchronization after the 3-
fold cycle time of the SNTP synchronization a warning will be set, or minimum after 10 min.
If the SNTP synchronization is not used, the warning will be set after 10 min.
status
status
Date and time of a SICAM MIC can be set also locally via the web browser (online). The val-
ues are read out from the parameterizing PC and updated permanently in the corresponding
input field under "local time set". Via the related pull-down menu it can be selected between
normal time or daylight saving time.
By clicking on the button Apply date and time are transmitted to the linked SICAM MIC.
After a refresh of the web browser the time display in the header will be updated.
By clicking on PLC | Diagnosis in the menu tree the PLC diagnosis mask is opened. Here the
capacity of the CPU and the compiler errors (maximum 5 error messages) are displayed:
program is running
cycletime (PLC_CYCLETIME): 20 ms
actual processing time (PLC_PROCESSINGTIME): 2 ms
maximum processing time: 8 ms
single processing on/off (PLC_SINGLE): 0
2750 bytes from 16378 bytes code used
35 bytes from 1024 bytes code used
0 bytes from 256 bytes retain RAM used
error while compiling:
E00: no error
Example:
program is running
cycletime (PLC_CYCLETIME): 45 ms
actual processing time (PLC_PROCESSINGTIME): 15 ms
maximum processing time: 19 ms
single processing on/off (PLC_SINGLE): 0
16123 bytes from 16378 bytes code used
35 bytes from 1024 bytes code used
0 bytes from 256 bytes retain RAM used
error while compiling:
E00: no error
In the example, the processing time successively exceeded the 50% of the programmed cycle
time (20 ms) five times and therefore the system has increased the cycle time to 30ms.
After again 50% of 30 ms has been exceeded five times in succession (max. processing time
19 ms), the system has again increased the cycle time by 50% (30 ms + 50% = 45 ms).
Warning
For modules that operate with voltages >60 V (e.g.: DI-6101, DO-6212) care must be taken that manipula-
tion on the peripheral connectors may only be carried out in a de-energized state.
The reason for this is that when withdrawing the upper peripheral connector under voltage, the external
voltage can be conducted through the lower peripheral connector still connected. The pins of the upper
peripheral connector now freely accessible will now conduct the external voltage.
Warning
The connecting and withdrawal of peripheral modules is only permitted in a de-energized state, this means
that the power supply to the power supply unit and to the peripherals must be interrupted.
Detailed instructions for the assembly of modules can be found in the section 1.3.4, Installa-
tion and Removal of Modules.
To exchange a module tools are not required for either the hardware or the software:
When replacing the master control module the SIM card can be withdrawn and inserted in the
new master control module. No project data (parameters and application program) are lost.
When switching over to another module type (e.g. CP-6020 to CP-6040) the configuration
must be adapted accordingly by means of parameter setting offline.
Caution
If the SIM card is put into another master control, then during startup the content of the decentralized
archive (DEAR) on the SIM card will be deleted and an error information is recorded in the History Diagno-
sis.
Where the SIM card is and how it is withdrawn or inserted is described in the section 3.4, SIM
Card.
New SIM cards can be ordered from Siemens (see SICAM MIC System Description, appendix
"System Components", section "Accessories").
Caution
The SIM card should only be withdrawn from or inserted into a de-energized master control module. The
content of a SIM card can become invalid if it is removed during a running writing operation. The content of
the SIM card must if necessary be deleted and written again new. After inserting the SIM card a startup of
the system is to be executed.
During the operation of SICAM MIC no access to the SIM card takes place by the system.
Therefore no error is reported if for example the SIM card is withdrawn.
In operation the system only accesses the SIM card with operator inputs such as loading pa-
rameters, loading PLC code or by selection of the test mask (display of the IL).
With each startup of SICAM MIC the system accesses the SIM card and checks it.
The following error messages refer to problems with the SIM card:
To be able to save or also duplicate the parameterization and the application program entirely,
WEBmic offers the both functions SIM Card Reader | Read entire SIM Card (Image) and
SIM CarD Reader | Write entire SIM CarD (Image).
To erase the content of the SIM card, insert it into a read-/write device installed on the engi-
neering PC.
In the WEBmic pop-up menu select the function SIM Card Reader | Erase complete SIM
Card and click on OK .
How to write a project backup on a SIM card is described in section 5.1.3.4, Save and Load
Parameters (offline) and in section 5.1.4.3, Save and Load Parameters (online).
When replacing an I/O module with the same module type no renewed parameter setting is
necessary. The parameters already stored on the SIM card are automatically used on the new
module.
A removed or failed I/O module is detected online by SICAM MIC and signaled on the user in-
terface (Diagnosis | Overview and Diagnosis | History Diagnosis).
If an I/O module is to be removed later, then this must be parameterized offline, otherwise
SICAM MIC reports the module as faulty.
A new I/O module can be added, without a parameter setting being necessary. The system
detects the new module automatically with a startup, provides it with the default values and
displays it online in the menu tree of the user interface. That means, if only parameters with
default values are used with an I/O module, the system can also be expanded without user in-
terface.
A firmware update in SICAM MIC can be carried out exclusively with the program FLASHmic.
For the execution of a firmware update you require the following configuration:
PC with FLASHmic
Connection with the master control module (serial or Ethernet)
Note
A serial connection via modem is not supported.
A connection via Ethernet is no longer supported as of FLASHmic resp. CPC60 revision 24.04!
Local serial
Ethernet
For the loading of the firmware via Ethernet, an operable firmware must be present in
SICAM MIC.
If the file FLASHmic.exe is stored on the PC and you have connected the PC with the master
control element, you can begin with the firmware update.
Click (double-click) in the Windows Explorer on the file FLASHmic.exe to start the loading op-
eration.
Select the language in which the firmware update is to be carried out and proceed with Next .
Select the required interface and start the firmware update with Next . When selecting the
Ethernet interface, you must also enter the IP address.
FLASHmic now begins with the checks of the connection and the hardware of the target sys-
tem. Only when FLASHmic has confirmed all checks with OK does the actual loading operation
begin. The duration of the loading operation is dependent on the physical connection. With
operation via Ethernet the transfer time is influenced by the number of active participants and
by the volume of data traffic on the bus.
The loading operation is concluded free of errors when the information check firm-
ware ... OK appears. Then click on Next and Finish to close FLASHmic.
When loading the firmware into the Flash-PROM this is written completely new. For a perfect
functioning of the master control element it is therefore absolutely necessary that this proce-
dure completes without errors.
If FLASHmic terminates the loading procedure with the message Error, click on the button
Cancel . Afterwards start FLASHmic again and attempt to execute the loading operation
again. If an error occurs again, the master control element is no longer capable of functioning;
check the LED-display.
The following situations cause the master control element to be no longer capable of function-
ing:
Note
A master control element that is no longer capable of functioning can be recognized, if after a startup of
SICAM MIC the yellow RDY-LED and the red ER-LED on the master control element do not light up. In
this case, please consult the Customer Support Center.

The internal clock of the SICAM MIC is set and synchronized remotely – dependent on the
used method of communication. Thereto SICAM MIC supports
the time synchronization command (Type Identification 103) without run time correction
the "Simple Network Time Protocol" (SNTP) with communication via Ethernet LAN and In-
ternet GPRS (Ax, only CP-6040)
the setting of date and time by the user online.
A serial time setting and a minute pulse are not supported. SICAM MIC can not be used as a
time master.
Note
If SICAM MIC is not time set, then all data are transmitted with relative time (beginning with 01.01.2000),
and the time is flagged as invalid. In this mode no automatic daylight-saving time switchover takes place.
7.3 Communication
SICAM MIC provides the following transmission methods for the data transmission, for that
different transmission facilities and settings are applicable, respectively.
SK Mode
For the connection of SICAM MIC to existing networks with SK 1703 there are 2 compatible
protocols implemented:
SKSU41
PCBS09
SICAM MIC can therefore operated in multipoint traffic with SK 1703 or AK 1703 central sta-
tions with the protocols SKSZ40 and PCBM09. By means of that also a combination of
SK 1703, MK 1703, µK 1703 and Ax 1703 in existing multipoint traffic lines is possible.
No real-time tagging
No remote maintenance possible
No remote diagnostics possible
The record number is fixed preset to 1
The assignment of the data type to the data format identifier is fixed (as with MK 1703 and
µK 1703)
Note
With communication via and internal supply of CE-070x, a special connection cable is required. Via this
Y cable the modem is also supplied with voltage.

Order information on additional equipment exists in the SICAM MIC System Description, appendix “Order
Information”, section “Accessories”.
SMS
Besides the communication within the system combination, the dial-up traffic offers additional-
ly the possibility to send SMS for up to 8 binary information items. Thereby the modems
named above are supported.
For each of the 8 single-point or double-point information items can be defined, whether upon
occurrence of the coming, going, or coming and going edge of the information a trigger for a
SMS is generated.
Analog Modem
For the SMS sending via an analog phone line a connection to a phone provider is estab-
lished. Therefore a paid value added network service is required.
After setting up the connection to a phone provider the SMS message is sent via the TAP pro-
tocol. If no connection setup is achieved, a recent connection setup is performed after a fixed
break time of one minute.
Note
The UCP protocol is not supported.
GSM Modem
For the sending of SMS the AT-Hayes command record supported by the modem is used.
If a message is generated which shall be sent to the central station as well as being sent as
SMS, always first the connection setup to the central station takes place, and then the SMS is
sent.
Structure of an SMS:
Plant name
Station name
Text designation of the message (if set)
State of the information: off, on, intermediate position (0-0), faulty position (1-1)
Event time tag: day:month:year:hour:minute:second:millisecond
IOA of the data point
The IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is a transmission protocol on OSI-layer 5-7 for the communica-
tion between control systems or between master stations and remote terminal units. For OSI-
layer 3+4 the TCP/IP protocol is implemented.
In contrast to the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol, which establishes connections over serial inter-
faces, the IEC 60870-5-104 interface enables the communication over networks (Local Area
Network "LAN" and Wide Area Network "WAN"). Thereby common network components such
as switches and routers can be used.
The IEC 60870-5-104 protocol uses a signal-orientated data model. Every message repre-
sents one data point, such as for instance a measured value, a setpoint value or a command.
This message is thereby defined by an address and a data type. The address then determines
which signal is concerned, whereby the transmitter and the receiver must know the meaning
of the address.
For the transmission of data a "TCP connection" is set up between 2 participating stations.
One station can set up an independent connection to several different stations. Each station
has equal access and can spontaneously perform a data transmission.
General Functions
Communication between one station and one or more remote stations (IEC 60870-5-104)
Communication via GPRS is an expansion of GSM. The substation and the central station are
connected each via router and firewall with a wireless radio network. The router in the central
station establishes the connection to the respective network provider via the internet.
Each substation establishes a VPN tunnel to the central station. The Virtual Private Network
permits to establish a safe and encrypted connection via an unsafe network. The spontaneous
data transmission via the VPN tunnel is performed by means of Ethernet TCP/IP and the
standardized network protocol IEC 60870-5-104.

must be supplied externally acc. to declaration of the manufacturer
Note
For the communication via GPRS an additional connection cable is required.
The connection setup takes place spontaneously at change of a data point (class 1 data) or
on request of a data point by the master control (class 2 data).
For measured values of the class 1 the connection setup takes place at reaching of a settable
threshold.
Note
For communication type "Internet GPRS" the parameter SICAM MIC mode must be set to controlling, and
the original master to controlled. That assures that SICAM MIC establishes a connection actively only if
necessary (event triggered).
If for SICAM MIC no communication is selected, there is still the option to send SMS. In this
case the function is possible only with GSM supporting transmission facilities.
The settings for the transmission facility for sending SMS are described in section Message
Settings (Ax) (relevant parameters for GSM modem).
The ring lengths for class 1 data and class 2 data are 200 single messages each. Measured
values are status compressed.
CON and TERM messages are only then recorded in the respective rings for class 1 data and
class 2 data, if a return information monitoring is set by parameter. Otherwise they are record-
ed in a ring that can include 10 messages.
With communication type multi-point traffic, dependent on the "monitoring timeout" all rings
are deleted after detection of the call TIO.
With communication type dial-up traffic no data are discarded after detection of a communica-
tion fault. If a message is queued for transmission, a continuous attempt is made to establish
the connection to the master.
Warning
After expiry of the monitoring time, additionally all the digital outputs (DO) will be terminated.
In the next table the possible configurations for master control element and I/O module are il-
lustrated.
Note
Please consider the configuration rules stated in the SICAM MIC System Description, chapter “System
Overview”, section “I/O Modules”.
The virtual peripheral element (integrated on the master control element) provides the func-
tions for the acquisition, conditioning and output of process data via the

7.5.1.1 Release/Blocking
The single-point information acquisition can be released or blocked in the Configuration of the
Contacts of the corresponding I/O module (applies also for master control element I/O).
The release is done for each data point by assignment of the information "single-point infor-
mation" and an unambiguous information object address to a hardware pin.
The blocking is done by assignment "not used". During the blocking the acquisition is stopped.
Error flags are deleted.
7.5.1.2 Acquisition
The acquisition grid for the digital inputs is 1 ms or 10 ms (dependent on the used
I/O module).
The processing of the digital inputs to single-point information items takes place for
I/O modules in the adjusted "acquisition grid for TM modules" (System Settings), for master
control element I/Os directly. The parameters for the processing can be entered in the Set-
tings of the I/O module.
7.5.1.3 Inversion
The active state of the input (open-circuit/closed-circuit) can be changed by parameter setting.
The forwarding of the single-point information takes place spontaneously upon change or on
request. The spontaneous message is time-tagged (resolution 1 ms or 10 ms dependent on
the used I/O module). The format is adjustable by parameter setting.
The table describes the data point quality descriptor and the cause of transmission according
to IEC 60870-5-101/104.
The single-point information acquisition supports only data formats within the compatible
range of the IEC 60870-5-101. The format of single-point information items in monitoring di-
rection is determined in the configuration of the protocol.
The following type identifications are valid for the single-point information:
The allocation of single-point information to the binary inputs is done data point by data point.
Single-point information items can be allocated to any binary input each.

Both information bits of a double-point information must be within a half nibble. When connect-
ing the digital inputs, following assignment must be carried out:
7.5.2.3 Inversion
The active state of the input (open-circuit/closed-circuit) can be changed by parameter setting.
The inversion can be set for both contacts (OFF and ON) seperately.
The transfer of an intermediate position (neither ON nor OFF binary information is present) is
prevented for a parameterized time. Also the transfer of a faulty position (both ON and OFF
binary information is present) is prevented for a fixed time.
The forwarding of the double-point information takes place spontaneously upon change or on
request. The spontaneous message is time-tagged (resolution 1 ms or 10 ms dependent on
the used I/O module). The format is adjustable by parameter setting.

7.5.3.1 Release/Blocking
The count pulse acquisition can be released or blocked in the Configuration of the Contacts of
the corresponding I/O module (applies also for master control element I/O).
The release is done for each data point by assignment of the information "integrated total" and
an unambiguous information object address to a hardware pin.
The blocking is done by assignment "not used". During the blocking the acquisition is stopped.
While a counter is blocked the counter value is frozen. Error flags are deleted.
If the counter is enabled again, then it resumes with its old count value.
7.5.3.2 Acquisition
The acquisition grid for the digital inputs is 1 ms or 10 ms (dependent on the used
I/O module).
The processing of the digital inputs to integrated totals takes place for I/O modules in the ad-
justed "acquisition grid for TM modules" (System Settings), for master control element I/Os di-
rectly. The parameters for the processing can be entered in the Settings of the I/O module.
7.5.3.3 Inversion
The active state of the input (open-circuit/closed-circuit) can be changed by parameter setting.
By means of the inversion the falling edge instead of the raising edge is counted.
The impulse counter is incremented with each raising edge of the count impulse at the binary
input. With selected inversion the impulse counter is incremented with each falling edge.
After startup of the master control element the status of the impulse counter begins with the
value 0.
The counter value formation serves for rating of count pulse with counter constants (counter
value = number of count pulses). The value range of the counter values is adjustable by the
parameter "overflow at".

The source of the trigger for freezing is the same like the source of the trigger for transmis-

For the interrogation, each integrated total can be assigned to a counter group by means of
the parameter "IEC 60870-5-101 group (RQT)":
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
The transfer of the selected integrated totals as spontaneous information object "integrated to-
tal" is carried out by means of a trigger for transmission. This trigger may occur at the same
time as or separate from the trigger for freezing.
An interval control enables the autonomous freezing and transmission of the integrated totals,
without external activation by a periodical information from the open-/closed-loop control func-
tion or by a spontaneous information object "counter interrogation".
The interval control generates the freezing and transmission trigger. The interval can be set in
minutes (parameter "counter freeze or request") and is synchronized to the full hour.
The forwarding of the frozen counting values happens either spontaneously or by a counter in-
terrogation. Thereto SICAM MIC supports Mode A and Mode C according to IEC 60870-5-
101/104. The Mode can be selected by means of the parameter "counter freeze or request":
The forwarding of the integrated total takes place spontaneously upon change or on request.
The spontaneous message is triggered by the Interval Control. The message is time-tagged

The hardware is calibrated during assembly, it means a highly precise fullscale value is creat-
ed (Example: 20 mA for measuring range -20 mA to +20 mA), and the acquired ADC-value as
well as the offset of the ADCs is stored non-volatile in an EEPROM.
In operation the offset of the ADCs is determined cyclic. Each ADC-value measured is cor-
rected by the Offset-deviation and by the Fullscale-deviation. The measuring range is repre-
sented as range -32000 to +32000.

The processing of the analog inputs to measuring values takes place in the adjusted scan
rate. The parameters for the processing can be entered in the Settings of the I/O module.
7.5.6.3 Smoothing
The smoothing is used for the filtering of statistical fluctuations of the acquired measured val-
ue, that are meaningless for the process management and unnecessarily burden the trans-
mission equipment.
7.5.6.4 Adaption
From the acquired measured value the current resistance value of the resistance thermometer
is determined. This resistance value is converted into a temperature value.
The selection according to which characteristic (Pt100 or Ni100) conversion is to take place, is
carried out with the setting of the measuring range. By means of the parameter "temperature
unit" it can be selected whether the temperature is to be transferred in degrees Celsius or in
degrees Fahrenheit.
If the calculated temperature value is outside the selected measuring range, the quality de-
scriptor "invalid" (IV) is set in the spontaneous information object.

7.5.7.1 Release/Blocking
The frequency acquisition can be released or blocked in the Configuration of the Contacts of
the corresponding I/O module.
The release is done for each data point by assignment of the information "floating point" and
an unambiguous information object address to a hardware pin.
The blocking is done by assignment "not used". During the blocking the acquisition is stopped.
Error flags are deleted.
7.5.7.2 Acquisition
The acquisition grid for the digital inputs is 100 s (dependent on the used I/O module).
The processing of the digital inputs to frequency values takes place in the adjusted scan rate.
The parameters for the processing functions can be entered in the Settings of the I/O module.
7.5.7.3 Correction
The correction of the measured value takes place on the I/O module. The measuring ranges
are adjusted automatically by the firmware of the master control element (autoscaling). The
selectionof the measuring range is done with regard to an optimization of the measuring time.

So as not to load the transmission equipment unnecessarily, the adapted value is monitored
for change in accordance with the following rules:
Otherwise, in the parameterized processing grid the deviations from the last-transmitted value
are totalled according to the sign. Only if the amount of this total exceeds the parameterized
additive threshold is a spontaneous transmission initiated with the actual, adapted value.
A transmission of the measured value due to a general interrogation does not affect the
threshold value procedure.
The forwarding of the processed frequency value takes place spontaneously or on request.
The spontaneous message forwarding is triggered by the Change Monitoring. The message is
time-tagged (resolution 10 ms). The format is adjustable by parameter setting.
The table describes the data point quality descriptor and the cause of transmission according
to IEC 60870-5-101/104.
The frequency acquisition supports only data formats within the compatible range of the IEC
60870-5-101 are supported. The format of measured values is determined in the configuration
of the protocol.
The following type identifications are valid for the frequency values:
The allocation of the frequency values to the analog inputs is done data point by data point.

The following parameters can be set for the processing of the frequency values:
7.5.8 Speedmonitoring
Acquisition, processing and time-tagging of speeds via digital inputs. The range of application
is mainly for generators in power stations.
The function is only possible in conjunction with an I/O module for period duration measure-
ment. For each I/O module only one speed acquisition is possible, alternatively with 1 or 2
sensors, which are compared for plausibility against one another.
Note
In a SICAM MIC are maximum 2 speedmonitoring functions possible.

The function Speedmonitoring can be performed either as stand-alone variant or with a pro-
cess communication (serial/LAN/WAN).
7.5.8.1 Release/Blocking
The speed acquisition can be released or blocked in the Configuration of the Contacts of the
corresponding I/O module.
The release is done for each data point by assignment of the information "speedmonitor" and
an unambiguous information object address to a hardware pin.
The blocking is done by assignment "not used". During the blocking the acquisition is stopped.
Error flags are deleted.
7.5.8.2 Acquisition
The acquisition grid for the digital inputs is 100 s (dependent on the used I/O module).
As source for the speed serves an impulse sensor, for instance a Namur sensor with gear
wheel.
The processing of the digital inputs to speed values takes place in the adjusted scan rate. The
parameters for the processing functions can be entered in the Settings of the I/O module.
For a direction of rotation detection 2 sensors are necessary. The sensors must be mounted
staggered with a phase displacement of 30 up to 90 degrees. With a phase displacement out-
side of this range the direction of rotation can not be detected reliably.
For a correct direction of rotation detection, a period with 4 edges in a defined sequence is re-
quired (see figure):
Status
A
IN IC0
IN IC1
1 2 3 4 t
Status
B

By means of that mechanical inaccuracies and a gear tooth loss are filtered, in order that it
does not come to unwanted effects (for example a direction of rotation reversal).
With the adjustable values for start time constant and nominal speed (frequency of pulses at
speed 100%) a maximum permitted gradient is calculated. If the input signal changes faster
than the gradient allows, the speed is calculated via the gradient. Only if the input signal is
smaller than the calculated value, it is valid again.
During a shutdown process, at a frequency below 1.9 Hz it is switched over to impulse count-
ing and a standstill detection is performed. Starting from 4.1 Hz it is switched over to period
duration measurement and the speed is calculated.
Upon under-usage of an adjustable number of pulses during an adjustable time period, a bina-
ry information is output via a digital output.
During standstill the measurement is switched to impulse counting in order to be able to exe-
cute a creep detection.
The creep can be activated and deactivated with a signal "guide vane closed". If the signal =
0, the creep detection is deactivated, because a start of the machine is assumed.

Selection of the control direction (exceedance or under-usage)
Operate lag
Hysteresis
Sense of rotation (with use of 2 sensors)
Control of Exceedance
Upon exceedance of the threshold value the delay time (operate lag) is started. If the thresh-
old value keeps staying exceeded until the expiration of this time, the output is set. If the
speed gets smaller than the threshold value minus the hysteresis, the output is reset.
Control of Under-Usage
Upon under-usage of the threshold value the delay time (operate lag) is started. If the thresh-
old value keeps staying exceeded until the expiration of this time, the output is set. If the
speed gets greater than the threshold value plus the hysteresis, the output is reset.
So as not to load the transmission equipment unnecessarily, the adapted value is monitored
for change in accordance with the following rules:
Otherwise, in the parameterized processing grid the deviations from the last-transmitted value
are totalled according to the sign. Only if the amount of this total exceeds the parameterized
additive threshold is a spontaneous transmission initiated with the actual, adapted value.
A transmission of the measured value due to a general interrogation does not affect the
threshold value procedure.
The output D01 on the master control element can be activated upon failure of the module or
upon failure of all speed signals.
The relay contact is normally closed and in case of error open. It includes the following errors:
The speed output takes place via an analog output. The measuring range for the speed output
is defined by parameter setting. The number of impulses at nominal speed is
n nom Z
f
60
f .................... frequency
nnom .............. nominal speed
Z ................... number of gear teeth
With the selected option "speed is displayed signed" the analog value is sent with sign to the
analog output, with deactivated option as absolute value.
Warning
Check if an interposing relay is necessary!
The following error information items and operating states are usable as software data points:
These data points can be output via I/O modules. They are available also for the communica-
tion.
The forwarding of the processed speed value takes place spontaneously or on request. The
spontaneous message forwarding is triggered by the Change Monitoring. The message is
time-tagged (resolution 10 ms). The format is adjustable by parameter setting.
The table describes the data point quality descriptor and the cause of transmission according

The pulse command output is used for the chronologically limited activation of an actuator
over a binary output. The activation of the actuator is thereby dependent on the result of a se-
ries of checks.

7.5.9.2 Release/Blocking
The command output can be released or blocked in the Configuration of the Contacts of the
corresponding I/O module.
The release is done for each data point by assignment of the information "single command" or
"double command" and an unambiguous information object address to a hardware pin.
The blocking is done by assignment "not used". During the blocking the activation is stopped
and the command output is terminated. Error flags are deleted.
The initiation of the command output is carried out by means of a spontaneous information ob-
ject "command". The function pulse command output supports both methods for command
transmission according to IEC 60870-5-101/104:
Direct command
Select and execute command
In addition, the pulse command output supports single- and double commands:
The single command activates one command relay and supports exclusively the single
command state "ON"
The double command activates two command relays (OFF and ON), but only one at a
time. It supports the double command states "OFF" and "ON"
On reception of the spontaneous information object "command", an internal check takes place
before the setpoint command is carried out.

The procedure for the command transmission according to IEC 60870-5-101/104 for "direct

is "0".
On reception of the spontaneous information object "command" with the cause of transmis-
sion "activation" and the data point identifier "execute", the command output procedure is initi-
ated.
1-out-of-n check

Depending on these checks a positive or negative confirmation of the activation takes place.
The procedure for the command transmission according to IEC 60870-5-101/104 for "select-
and execute command" is utilized if the maximum time between select and execute is greater
than "0". The corresponding parameter specifies, within which time the execute command
must be received following the selection command.
Expiration of Timeout
If the maximum time between select and execute expires,
The command to be executed is selected, it means the elements of the spontaneous in-
formation object of the select- and execute command are identical, except the elements
"cause of transmission", "S/E" (irrelevant) and the elements of timetag.
Maximum time between select and execute > 0.
The command to be executed is selected, it means the elements of the spontaneous in-

Maximum time between select and execute > 0.
1-out-of-n check
No command in execution.
Control circuit checks (dependent on the system element).
SICAM MIC permits the output of only one command at a time. With reception of the sponta-
neous information object "command" the command output is busy as long as the command
output is active.
The 1-out-of-n check cannot be deactivated and is always effective concerning the entire sys-
tem (applies for all command outputs).
The reception of a spontaneous information object "command" during a busy command output
has the effect, that
The cause of transmission is derived from the originator address of the corresponding infor-
mation object "command".
On reaching the setpoint position or after expiration of the intermediate position suppression
time during a valid command output, in the spontaneous information object "double-point in-
formation" the cause of transmission is entered dependent on the originator address.
In all other cases (no valid command activation etc.) changes of the state are forwarded with
an originator address "spontaneous".
The following table shows the derivation of the cause of transmission from the control location:
The command output time defines how long the actuator is actuated. It is differentiated be-
tween
For the command output time independent of the process, the output time is defined in the
spontaneous information object "command":
So that the output time is effective in the spontaneous information object "Command", the
state information monitoring "Termination (TERM)" must be deactivated.
For the command output time dependent on the process the duration of the command output
is normally determined by the return information .
limit the command output to the output time required by the process and
signal an unsuccessful command initiation.
The state information monitoring can be activated for each command, likewise the source of
the command return information (process-technical address).
For a correct function of the return information monitoring a positive edge of the return infor-
mation is required. For double command only the relevant return information (ON or OFF) is
evaluated.
Note
To exclude misconduct for the signaling of an unsuccessful command output, the return information moni-
toring time should be longer than the command output time.

By means of reading the relay coil activation the idle check recognizes if all the relays (com-
mand relays, group relays, output relays) are in idle state (switched off).
If the idle check recognizes an error, all the relays are switched off once again and a new idle
check is performed. If furthermore no idle state is present, an abortion with blockage is per-
formed as error handling.
By means of reading the relay coil activation the selective activation check recognizes if ex-
clusively the desired relay(s) is (are) activated.
With the selective activation check a further 1-out-of-n check is performed to prevent an un-
wanted switch-on of several actuators by means of a defect of the module.
If the selective activation check recognizes an error, the desired relay is activated once again.
If the relay remains furthermore in the wrong position, an abortion with blockage is performed
as error handling.
The resistance check can be switched on for each command. Thereby the possibility exists to
perform the resistance check with each command output or only with the periodical control
circuit check.
With the resistance check a further 1-out-of-n check is performed to prevent an unwanted
switch-on of several actuators by means of an external wiring error (for instance short-circuit
between two or more actuators).
The resistance check determines the resistance of the actuator to be activated. The meas-
urement is performed with a reference voltage of 2.5 V or 10 V dependent of the parameter-
ized resistor value. The measured resistance may have a deviation of +40% up to 27.6% of
the parameterized resistance value.
Note
A safe recognition of external wiring errors is given only if the resistance of all actuators that are activated
by a system element, is approximately equal.
The resistance check is used also for the recognition of remaining closed relays on the mod-
ule after switching off. Thereby a resistance of must be measured.
The electric current measurement can be switched on for each command. It checks the exter-
nal command output circuit for instance on short-circuit or break.
With the connection of actuators with interruptable command output circuit, a correct current
measurement is no longer possible. So that no error is detected with this circuitry variant, the
periodical current measurement can be switched off with a corresponding parameter. The first
current measurement after activation of the actuator is not affected with that.
In dependance of the wiring variant 2 methods for the earth-fault recognition are applied:
For the further contemplations 3 kinds of grounding of the battery (points A, B and C in the fol-
lowing figures and explanations) are differentiated:

Note
In the event of an error the command output tries to deactivate all the relays in order to interrupt the com-

7.5.9.6.1 Abortion
The command output is aborted and a spontaneous information object with negative "confir-
mation of the activation" or negative "termination of the activation" is sent.
The command output is aborted, a diagnosis information is set and a spontaneous information
object with negative "confirmation of the activation" or negative "termination of the activation"
is sent.
If the error is resulting from a defect on the module the command output is blocked. If occa-
sion arises no spontaneous information object "confirmation of the activation" or "termination
of the activation" can be sent upon a command.
This state can be corrected either by means of a power-up or a reset of the system element.
The startup behavior can be set by parameter.
The periodical control circuit check recognizes if the command circuits are ready to operate
without starting the actuator. The check is performed in a settable grid.
Procedure:
7.5.9.8 Output
The command output takes place dependent on the command type (single command or dou-
ble command, alternatively 1-pole, 1.5-pole or 2-pole), via up to 4 digital outputs. On the mas-
ter control element only 1-pole commands can be output.
The output takes place for I/O modules in the adjusted acquisition grid for TM modules
(System Settings), for master control element I/Os immediately. The parameters for the pro-
cessing functions can be entered in the Settings of the I/O module.

The binary information output supports only data formats within the compatible range of the
IEC 60870-5-101 are supported. The format of the single-point information in output direction
can not be set with parameters. It is dependent on the remote station.
The following type identifications are valid for the single-point information.
The allocation of single-point information to the binary outputs is done data point by data
point.
7.5.10.6 Settings
The following parameters can be set for the processing of a single-point information:
Output of setpoint values via analog outputs for current output. Setpoint values can be set ei-
ther by periodical information of the higher-level open-/closed-loop control function or by spon-
taneous information objects.
The function is only possible in conjunction with an I/O module for analog value output.

7.5.11.1 Release/Blocking
The current output can be released or blocked in the Configuration of the Contacts of the cor-
responding I/O module.
The release is done for each data point by assignment of the information "current" and an un-
ambiguous information object addresse to a hardware pin.
The blocking is done by assignment "not used". During the blocking the activation is stopped
and the current output is terminated. Error markings are deleted.
The initiation of the setpoint command output procedure is carried out by means of a sponta-
neous information object "setpoint command". The function setpoint command output sup-
ports both methods for command transmission according to IEC 60870-5-101/104:
Direct command
Select and execute command
Cause of transmission is
Activation or
Abortion of Activation.
Type identifier in the spontaneous information object corresponds with the parameterized.
The procedure for the command transmission according to IEC 60870-5-101/104 for "direct
command" ("execute command") is utilized if the maximum time between select and execute
is "0".
On reception of the spontaneous information object "setpoint command" with the cause of
transmission "activation" and the data point identifier "execute" the command output proce-
dure is initiated.
The procedure for the command transmission according to IEC 60870-5-101/104 for "select-
and execute command" is utilized if the maximum time between select and execute is greater
than "0". The corresponding parameter specifies, within which time the execute command
must be received following the selection command.
Expiration of Timeout
If the maximum time between select and execute expires,
The command to be executed is selected, it means the elements of the spontaneous in-
formation object of the select- and execute command are identical, except the elements
"cause of transmission", "S/E" (irrelevant) and the elements of timetag.
Maximum time between select and execute > 0.

Setpoint command not in execution.
The technological adaptation enables to adapt the received setpoint value (technological or
normalized value) to the current value to be output.
By parameterizing two interpolation points the current value to be output is adapted linearly.
For this, the technological or normalized value Y 0 is set for the lower limit of the output range
X0, and the technological or normalized value Y100 for the upper limit of the output range X100 .
The parameterized output range must thereby lie within the limits defined by the hardware.
The X-values define the current to be output. The Y-values define the received setpoint value.

The current output is done respectively via an analog output. The value determined as a result
of the activation and processed afterwards is output.
The output takes place for I/O modules in the adjusted "acquisition grid for TM modules"
(System Settings), for master control element I/Os immediately. The behavior of the output
can be set in the Settings of the I/O module.
The behavior of the output "in case of communication break" can be selected.

The following parameters can be set for the processing of the voltage output:
By means of the decentralized archive (DEAR) it is possible to store events of a substation lo-
cally and – whenever it is required – to transmit to the corresponding control system. On the
other hand it is possible to restore the archive of a control system after a communication fault.
Note
The online engineering via web browser is supported by the firmware CPC60 as of revision 14.
The offline engineering is supported by WEBmic as of revision 14, as well as by the SICAM TOOLBOX II
as of version 4.0.
SICAM MIC supports 1 archive. This archive can consist of several files.
Every data point used in a substation can be assigned for the record in the decentralized ar-
chive by parameter setting.
SICAM MIC records an assigned data point dependent on the type in the archive:
Structure of a record:
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

0 Type identification
1 Cause of transmission

4 IOA1
5 IOA2
6 IOA3

11
12
Milliseconds
13
14 IV 0 Minutes
15 S 0 Hours
The addressing of the data points is basically arbitrary. All the data points recorded in an ar-
chive have the same CASDU in SICAM MIC. It is not possible to assign more than one
CASDU.
Data points are saved only if the time of SICAM MIC is set. Archive records with relative time
are not possible.
With dial-up traffic a connection is established after startup and in order to that the time will be
set.
In case of a day alternation, the so-called "day alternation buffer" is recorded chronological in
the ring. If a data point with a time-tag of the day before has been received, it is recorded be-
fore the day alternation information since never the complete time-tag is stored.
Since for the data transmission the file transfer according to IEC 60870-5 is used, only type
identifications which are named in the standard are supported:
To reduce the load of the communication link the archive is apportioned in files. Depending on
the Configuration as much records are stored temporarily in the NV RAM until the selected file
size is reached. Subsequently, in each case a file is produced and stored on the SIM card. If
the maximum number of 975 records in the archive is reached, every further record overwrites
each time the oldest record (first in – first out principle).
During the storing of the file from the NV RAM on the SIM card the NV RAM is not utilizable
for further archives of data points. The data are recorded at this moment in the RAM and will
be stored in the NV RAM after terminating of the file writing. The file in the NV RAM will be de-
leted after successful writing on the SIM card.
Note
In case of a voltage failure during the file writing data can be lost.
To enable a fast access in case of an interrogation, for each file the time of the first record and
the time of the last record is stored in the NV RAM.
Note
During startup SICAM MIC compares the file information with that on the SIM card. If there is any differ-
ence, the stored archive on the SIM card will be deleted and an error information is recorded in the History
Diagnosis. Therefore, the archive is not preserved if the SIM card is put into another master control ele-
ment.
The datapoints are recorded with their datapoint number each in the files, the information ob-
ject address of the datapoint is added only upon interrogation of the file. The assignment of
the information object address and type identification is stored on the SIM card.
Calling the archive has to be initiated by a control system. The file transfer is performed ac-
cording to IEC 60870-5. Every control system which works according to that standard can ini-
tiate a transfer of archive files from SICAM MIC.
Note
For instance with a SAT 250 SCALA control system the versions as of 6.10 must be used for calling the
archive. The SAT 250 SCALA System will initiate a file transfer automatically when a going communication
error is recognized.
The control center system SICAM 230 does not support the call of the archive.
To enable the interrogation for the main directory, those CASDU1 and CASDU2 must be
known. All the further addresses for addressing the subdirectories and files are determined by
the sequence of interrogation.
The sequence of messages for the interrogation of archive files is defined according to
IEC 60870-5-101/-104:
The files are transmitted sorted in the file overview. The oldest file is displayed first, the
youngest file last.
The data points within a file are not sorted chronological, however, a single data point
within a file is recorded chronological.
For each file the "time of the last record" into the file is transmitted in the file overview,
since the acquisition time of the data point may not be within the storing time period.
Via the "time of the last record" (creation time) the control system is able to request for the
file(s) which contain the records of the desired recording period.
Interrogation criteria:
A communication failure directly at the interface to the control system is detected by it-
self, and it is able to request for the files over the period of the failure automatically
With communication failure in further hierarchy (at interfaces which do not lead directly
to the control system) a notification of the period to be requested is performed by a
coming/going single-point information
The file directory can be accessed by several remote stations at the same time. A trans-
mission, however, can be performed only to one remote station. If there are several inter-
rogating remote stations, the transmission takes place first to the remote station belonging
to the first received interrogation. The other interrogations are acknowledged negative as
long as the current transmission is completed.
Note
If SICAM MIC recognizes errors in the directory or upon the file handling (for instance a negative acknowl-
edgement, the transmission will be cancelled.
The following rules apply for Control Systems on SICAM RTUs nodes:
In the remote station do not set a delay time for communication fault.
At interfaces over those archive data to be transmitted set "delete ring".
In the Ax 1703 node addresses of all the files for type identification 126 must be routed de-
tailed, if the spontaneous transmission of the file directory with source address "0" is ena-
bled.
In the Ax 1703 node route detailed all file transmission messages in command direction.
The CASDU 1, 2 for the main directory request (TI 122) must not be 0, 0 and 255, 255.
Only the data format "transmission of event sequences " in a section of 64 kByte is sup-
ported.
In the main directory may exist several subdirectories, however, only one with the
Name "3".
In the subdirectory exist only files with ascending number (0…65535).

The first digital input of the master control element (with default address and type identification
I_030_002_000_000.VALUE) is loaded into the accumulator. In the next line the loaded
value is transferred to the outputs O_030_008_000_000.VALUE and
O_045_009_000_000.VALUE.
Changing the input type from single command to single message with the engineering tool
(web browser), the relay at the output D00 picks up when the input becomes logical "1". Oth-
erwise this output address will be sent to the communication because it is not existing within
the periphery. The default address of the command is D01.

The current second value of the system time of SICAM MIC is loaded. Each time to the se-
cond 0 a positive edge is generated and switched to the CU Input of the upward-counter
(CTU_COUNTER.CU). Thereby the counter will be incremented with 1 per minute.
The score will be saved in a retaining flag (M_DINT_MINUTESOLD). This means, after a power
down (startup) the counter will continue with incrementing based on the last value.
The hours result by minutes devided by 60. The hours always will be recalculated based on
the minutes, the same after a power down.

To reset the counter score it is necessary to reset the counter (CTU_COUNTER.R) as well as
the flag with the retained value (M_DINT_MINUTESOLD).
This could be executed by a subroutine before PLC_RESET. With RET the subroutine will be
left.
(*SUBROUTINE*)
ResetCounter:
LD 0 (*the old value for operating minutes*)
ST M_DINT_MINUTESOLD (*is set to "0"*)
ST M_BOOL_RESET (*reset the flag for running this*)
(*subroutine*)
LD 1
ST CTU_COUNTER.R (*reset counter by input R*)
RET
(*END SUBROUTINE*)
The call of the subroutine could be executed at the end (after ST M_DINT_HOURS). Therefore
the flag (M_BOOL_RESET) must be set to "1". Instead of the flag an input address could be
used, for instance a command.
Reaching the command CALC the call of the subroutine will be executed. In the subroutine the
flag (M_BOOL_RESET) will be reset to "0", otherwise the counter would last at "0" as long as
the flag will be reset to "0".
If an input signal is bouncing the blocked bit (BL bit) is set. The number of state changes until
the BL bit is set, as well as the monitoring time during which the information must be static un-
til the BL bit is reset, are adjustable via constants. An output is set to "0" during the BL bit is
set.
With an edge detection for the rising edge (R_TRIG_INEDRISE0) and the falling edge
(F_EDTIMEFALL0) the counter (CTU_EDC0) will be incremented by 1. At the same time the R
input of the counter is reset via an ON delay for the rising edge (TON_EDTIMERISE0) as well
as for the falling edge (TON_EDTIMEFALL0). With this function all state changes of the input
will be integrated by the counter (started with the first edge and triggered by each following
one).
As soon as a state change of the input happens the flag (M_BOOL_COUNTER00) is reset and
the input of an AND (module 8) is set (inverted). If the sum of state changes is greater as or
equal to a defined number (CV>=PV) the counter output is set as well, and the BL bit is set.
With the set BL bit the output is reset by another AND (module 9).
After expiration of the monitoring time the R input of the counter is set again, and the counter
is reset. If the BL bit is set it will be reset as well (output of module 8 is reset).

In the operation order the R input of the counter must be reset first, because only afterwards
the positive edge at the CU input of the counter causes an increment. Therefore the applica-
tion program handles the R input before the CU input of the counter.

2 different and not coherent ranges of the electrical signals are defined, for each a status/value that the
binary process information can receive. Therefore, in the technical data of digital inputs that are designed
fort he acquisition of binary signals, voltage ranges for "logical 0" and "logical 1", the universal designation
for the both states/values.

Cause of transmission
Spontaneous transmission, general interrogation data, periodical data, command preparation, command
command activation (acc. to IEC 60870-5-101)
Class 1 data
If several data points are to be transmitted to the central station (spontaneous or on request) at the same
time, the Class 1 data will be sent before the Class 2 data (priority).
With dial-up traffic, data of the Class 1 lead to a spontaneous connection setup and data transmission.
Class 2 data
If several data points are to be transmitted to the central station (spontaneous or on request) at the same
time, the Class 2 data will be sent after the Class 1 data.
With dial-up traffic, the connection setup and the data transmission takes place only upon interrogation by
the central station.

Configuration
Configuration is used in a multiple meaning:
a) engineering of the configuration of an automation unit in the engineering tool
b) physical aligning and mounting of the configured hardware
