IEC 61850
The communication standard for the IEC 61850 station bus is
based on Ethernet TCP/IP.
The optional use of TLS (Transport Layer Security) provides addi-
tional security during data transmission.
IEC 61850 defines the communication and the exchange of
configuration data between bay devices and substations from
different manufacturers. Based on the IEC 61850 GOOSE mech-
anism, bay devices can directly exchange data - independently
of the operating state of the substation controller. This cross
communication enables for example, the implementation of
bay-independent interlocks on the device level.
The state of the IED GOOSE server can be monitored via SICAM [dw_IEC_61850, 2, en_US]

SICAM PAS – Communication Interfaces

The example below illustrates the connection of bay devices to IEC 60870-5-101
an Ethernet ring through switches.
The IEC 60870-5-101 protocol is used for the connection of
substations to SICAM PAS through a serial COM port or a modem
connection.
The connection through a COM port allows the operating
modes balanced for point-to-point configuration and unbal-
anced for line operation with up to 16 substations.
Modems (IAWD, analog, ISDN, GSM dial-up mode) with the
capability of being staggered enable line operation.
If a modem is busy communicating with another substation or if
2.1 a modem has failed, a configured spare modem automatically
takes over the communication.
Siemens recommends the use of INSYS modems.

SICAM AK 3 – Description

Fundamentally, all functionalities required for this are available. Dimensional Drawings
The actual application is easily defined via the corresponding
assembly and parameterization.

Due to the large number of interfaces (up to 68) and the widest
variety of available protocols, SICAM AK 3 is optimally suited to
use as a front end for a process control system.
All telecontrol substations are coupled to SICAM AK 3 – inde-
pendent of manufacturer and protocol. Signal preparation and
adaptation for the respective control system take place in the
front end. From the perspective of the control system, it makes
no difference which protocol and which system behavior the
substation actually has.
2.2
Control and regulation-technology user programs are created
using CAEx plus in accordance with IEC 61131-3, a standard that
is recognized and has established itself on the market.
In SICAM AK 3, a system element with control function can be
inserted in every slot. SICAM AK 3 is thus, and for reasons of the
modular structure, suitable for many applications: from smaller
automation applications right up to complex control-technology
applications. Naturally, all applications can also be combined.

The functionality of a substation controller can simply be seen


as a combination of the functionality of a front end (interfacing
of various bay units, protection devices, processing of data for
power systems control) and the functionality of control-tech-
nology applications (control and regulation-technology user
programs), and is hence ideally suited to this application. In
addition, telecontrol periphery could also be included in the
[AK_3_BGTR_CM-2844_Abmessungen_Seite, 1, en_US]
substation controller so the telecontrol station and the substa-
tion controller could be combined in one device. Figure 2.2/3 CM-2844 and CM-2848 – Rear-Plate Layout

For telecontrol applications, a modular, diverse periphery is


available for coupling process data.
In particular due to the possibility of dropping SICAM TM -
periphery, SICAM AK 3 supports central and distributed periph-
eral elements. Flexible communication functions allow redun-
dant communication and communication via alternative paths.
Naturally, any control and regulation-technology user programs
can be implemented in SICAM AK 3 with CAEx plus. Thus, SICAM
AK 3 can be a remote terminal unit and an automation device in
one, simultaneously and to the same degree.

both networks, however, the latencies must only differ up to a
High Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) certain upper limit. As shown in the figure, the 2 networks may
not be connected to one another.
HSR is a redundancy protocol for lossless, redundant transmis-
sion of data via Ethernet networks in ring topologies and offers The advantage of PRP compared to other protocols is that if a
redundancy without changeover times. communication is interrupted in a network, a seamless switch-
2.3 over takes place. Data losses are therefore avoided.
Every device in the network is connected via 2 Ethernet inter-
faces. The notifications are sent to both interfaces and therefore
transmitted in both directions in the ring simultaneously. 2 iden-
tical notifications arrive at the target (in a healthy state) within a
time frame. The 1st one is forwarded to the application whilst
the 2nd is discarded. The ring is monitored by cyclical HSR
management telegrams (cycle time of 2 seconds). An open ring
is signalized by a warning.

SICAM Safety – Description

Description
SICAM Safety is designed for safety-relevant automation of
power distribution in hydropower plants, as well as in oil and
gas areas. The goal of the safety technology is to minimize the
hazards of the system operation to people and the environment
without restricting production more than is necessary.
The safety requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC can
be found in the following standards:
EN ISO 13849 – safety of machinery
• Safety-related parts of controls
IEC 61508/62061 – safety of machinery
• Functional safety of safety-related electronic control systems
Benefits
SICAM Safety easily and comfortably incorporates safety func-
2.4 tions into the plant. In addition to automation tasks, the SICAM [ph_SICAM Safety, 1, --_--]
platform thus fulfills the necessary safety requirements.

SICAM SCC – Description

Description
The process and visualization system SICAM SCC (SICAM Substa-
tion Control Center) is an important component of the power-
automation solutions. Independent of the utilized substation,
SICAM SCC can be used with both the power-automation system
SICAM PAS, as well as with the products of the SICAM RTU
range. SICAM SCC can communicate directly with bay and
protection devices that support the communication standard IEC
61850, and can be used for this as a cross-device HMI system.
SICAM SCC, based on SIMATIC WinCC, is scalable for individual
applications, and supports efficient engineering for the power-
automation solutions of power utilities and industry.
Configuration Options

initiation of suitable countermeasures, as well as the creation of
long-term analyses and trends.
The European standards describing the voltage characteristics of
electricity supplied by public electrical power systems (EN
50160) and the testing and measurement techniques (IEC
61000-4-30) provide the regulatory framework for this.
The variables to be monitored include:
• Voltage dips and swell [dw_sicam_pq_analyzer_available-data, 1, en_US]
• Harmonic currents
Figure 3.2/2 Available Data
• Transients
• Voltage variations (flicker) Functions of the SICAM PQ Analyzer
• Frequency changes The SICAM PQ Analyzer connects to the archive of the SICAM
PAS/PQS system and displays the data in the archive. Depending
on the license, the SICAM PQ Analyzer provides a wide range of
tools for analyzing these data.
The SICAM PQ Analyzer can be installed on the same computer
as the SICAM PAS/PQS system, or on a separate computer in the
network.

SICAM WEB – Description

Description
SICAM WEB is the easiest way of configuring and testing devices
of the SICAM A8000 series.
Using a tablet or a PC and one of the standard browsers, you can
parameterize and diagnose the SICAM A8000 series telecontrol
and automation devices.
Just enter the IP address of the SICAM A8000 device in the
browser address bar, and the access data in the SICAM WEB log-
on dialog.
This is followeed by bidirectional communication with the
SICAM A8000 device via an Ethernet connection.
There is no need for time-consuming software installation!
Rights and the associated engineering and diagnostic possibili-
ties depend on the user logged in as an administrator or as a
guest. Accordingly, device and diagnosis information can be
[ph_SICAM WEB, 1, --_--]
read, or event and alarm indications can be checked.
Figure 4.3/1 SICAM WEB
A user with administrator rights can additionally edit configura-
tion data and start test runs.
Signal configuration follows a simple and clear workflow:
Benefits • Each necessary signal is defined with a name and an IEC
address.
• Easy parameterization and test possibilities for SICAM A8000
series devices with maximum user friendliness. • Allocation of the signals to different targets: for example, I/O
modules, protocols, or the master module.
• Clearly structured user interface and logical operating steps
for each working situation. • An I/O module becomes a target for signals to/from the
process.
• Free utilization with any current Web browser; no limitation
• No time-consuming installation necessary • Address mapping is necessary if the information exchange
with another station is not via IEC 60870-5-101 or -104. In

has its own tile, and an additional menu entry. • All settings are saved in the device.
Communication/connection types
For data transfer, SICAM WEB is optimized for a small band-
width, irrespective of the connection method of the SICAM
A8000 device.
The following connection possibilities are available:
• Direct Ethernet connection
• WLAN with a router connected to the device
SICAM WEB only needs very little transmission resources.
Project engineering
With SICAM WEB, you can not only retrieve information from
SICAM devices in the A8000 series, but also configure them
completely.
The majority of project engineering concerns signals, such as
messages, commands, measured values or counts.

SICAM Protocol Test System – Description

Description
The IEC standard protocols used in modern substation control
and protection systems enable homogeneous, manufacturer-
independent solutions and provide optimal protection for the
investment made.
Despite the use of standardized protocols, it is still necessary in
everyday practice when operating and setting up systems
controls to analyze more precisely or even simulate the behavior
of the devices used.
The SICAM protocol test system (PTS) offers these functions. A
simulation of one or more devices simplifies the processes
above all during project engineering of plants. For instance, by
importing the IEC 61850 standard files, the behavior of devices
can be simulated and the running of tests and commissioning
thus simplified. Irrespective of the manufacturer, extensive anal-
ysis functions make it easier to eliminate erroneous behavior or
failures of individual devices.
SICAM PTS helps make everyday work simpler for the plant
project engineer and operator and becomes an indispensable [sc_SICAM PTS, 1, --_--]

• IEC 61850 System Configurator


Using the IEC 61850 system configurator, which is launched
from the DIGSI manager, the IEC 61850 network structure
and the scope of the data exchange between the participants
of an IEC 61850 station can be defined. To do so, subnet-
works are added as required to the network working area.
These subnetworks are then allocated available participants
and the addressing is set. In the GOOSE working area, the
data objects between participants are linked, for example, the
pickup indication of the V / inverse-time overcurrent protec-
tion I> function of the feeder 1, which is transmitted to the
infeed, in order to effect the reverse interlocking of the V /
inverse-time overcurrent protection I>> function there. Addi-

DIGSI 5 is the versatile engineering tool for parameterization,
commissioning, and operating all SIPROTEC 5 devices. Its inno-
vative user interface includes context-sensitive user instructions.
Simple connection to the device via USB enables you to work
with a device easily and efficiently. The full capabilities of
DIGSI 5 are revealed when you connect it to a network of
protection devices: Then you can work with all of the devices in
a substation in one project. DIGSI 5 offers superior usability and
is optimized for your work processes. Only the information you
actually need to carry out your tasks is shown. This can be
reduced further via expanded filter mechanisms. Consistent use
of sophisticated and standardized mechanisms in the user inter-
faces requires less training.

IEC 61850 System Configurator – Description

Description
The IEC 61850 System Configurator is the manufacturer-inde-
pendent solution for the interoperable engineering of
IEC 61850 products and systems. It supports all devices with
IEC 61850, not just Siemens products – like SIPROTEC 5,
SIPROTEC 4, SIPROTEC Compact, Reyrolle, SICAM RTUs, SICAM
IO/AI/P85x/Q200 – but also devices from other Siemens divisions

SIGRA – Description

Description
SIGRA user program supports you in analyzing failures in your
electrical power system. It graphically analyzes data recorded
during the failure and calculates additional supplemental quan-
tities such as impedances, powers or RMS values, from the
supplied measured values, making evaluation of the fault record
easier.
The quantities can be shown as desired in the diagrams of the
following views: time signals, phasor diagrams, locus
diagrams and harmonic components and fault locators and
represented in the table view.
After a system incident, it is especially important to quickly and
completely analyze the error, so that the respective measures
can be derived immediately from the cause analysis. This will
enable the original network status to be recovered and the
down time to be reduced to an absolute minimum.
As well as the usual time signal display of the recorded meas-
ured quantity, the current version is also set up to display
vector, pie and bar charts to show the harmonics and data [sc_SIGRA_Splash, 1, --_--]

Description
The SIPROTEC 6MD89 bay controller is a universal control and
automation device with a protection function for railway appli-
cations (1-phase and 2-phase systems with a rated frequency of
16.7 Hz). It is designed for use in all voltage levels from contact
wire power supply to power transmission. As part of the
SIPROTEC 5 family, it enables a wealth of protection functions
from the SIPROTEC library. The modular hardware permits inte-
gration of the I/Os depending on the application. Adapt the
hardware precisely to your requirements and rely on the future-
oriented system solutions with a high level of investment

SIPROTEC 6MD63 – Description

Description
5.6
The 6MD63 bay controller is a flexible, easy to operate control
unit. It is optimally matched to medium-voltage applications,
but can also be used in high-voltage switching systems. The bay
controller 6MD63 has the same design (look and feel) as the
other protection and combination devices of the SIPROTEC 4
device range. The configuration is also executed in a uniform
manner with the easy to operate DIGSI 4 configuration tool.
For operation, a large, graphical display with a keyboard is avail-
able. The most important operating sequences such as
displaying the alarm list or switchgear control take place in a
simple and intuitive way. The operation panel can be mounted
separately from the device if necessary. This provides flexibility
in relation to the device installation location. Integrated key
switches control the switching authority and switching authori-
zation for switching operations without interlocking.

SIPROTEC 6MD66 – Description

Description
The high-voltage bay controller 6MD66 is the control device for
high-voltage bays from the SIPROTEC 4 device series. Thanks to 5.7
its integrated functions, it is an optimal cost-effective solution
for high-voltage switchgear. The bay controller 6MD66 has the
same design (look and feel) as the other protection and combi-
nation devices of the SIPROTEC 4 device range. The configura-
tion is executed in a uniform manner with the easy to operate
DIGSI 4 configuration tool. A large graphic display with a
keyboard is provided for on-site operation. The most important
operating processes, such as displaying an alarm list or control-
ling switching devices, are performed in a uniform and intuitive
manner. The operation panel can be mounted separately from
the device if necessary. This provides flexibility in relation to the
device installation location. Integrated key switches control the
switching authority and switching authorization for switching
operations without interlocking. Precision measurements (± [ph_SIPROTEC 6MD66, 1, --_--]
0.5%) of voltage, current and calculated P and Q values are addi-
tional features of the device. Figure 5.7/1 SIPROTEC 6MD66 High-voltage Bay Controller

SIPROTEC 7SC80 – Applications

Applications
The SIPROTEC 7SC80 distribution system protection is a digital
protection device that also carries out control and monitoring
tasks. This supports economical management by the user and
ensures reliable supplying of customers with electrical energy
The device operation was designed according to economic
aspects. A great deal of value was placed on a very legible
display and large function keys. Numerous conditions and
alarms can be displayed with the 32 LEDs. 6.2
Control
The integrated control function makes it possible to control
disconnectors and circuit breakers via the integrated operation
panel, binary inputs, DIGSI 4 or systems control (for example
SICAM).
Programmable Logic
The integrated logic functionality allows the user, with a graph-
ical user interface, to implement functions of his own for auto-
mating his switching cell (interlocking), switchgear or a distribu-
tion network theater and to generate user-defined indications.
Operational measured values
Extensive operational measured values, limiting values and
metered values allow an improved operation management and
simplified commissioning.
Operational indications
The operation is documented with traceability due to the
storage of fault indications, error messages, fault datasets and
statistics.
Line protection
The SIPROTEC 7SC80 devices are used as line protection for
high-voltage and medium-voltage power systems with
grounded, low-impedance grounded, isolated or compensated
neutral point design
Transformer protection
As a supplement to a transformer differential protection, the
devices also perform all the tasks for backup protection. Inrush-
current detection effectively prevents pickup due to inrush
currents The high impedance ground fault differential protec-
tion detects short circuits and insulation faults on the trans-
former.
Backup protection
The SIPROTEC 7SC80 - devices can be universally used as backup
protection.
High-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear
All devices optimally fit the requirements of high-voltage and
medium-voltage applications. Separate measuring devices (for
example, for current, voltage, frequency, measuring trans-
ducers) or additional control components are usually not neces-
sary in the switchgear cabinets.

SICAM FPI – Description

Description
To operate modern distribution systems efficiently, it is neces-
sary to quickly detect faults if they occur, put them in messages
and make them available for further processing. One building
block is the SICAM Fault Passage Indicator (FPI). This is used for
registration and reporting of phase faults as well as recognition
of ground faults in radial or opened ring cable networks in the
medium voltage range.
4 external current sensors ensure detection of phase faults (A, B,
C) and ground faults (IGnd). The current sensor detects phase
faults and ground faults based on the adjusted current threshold
and transmits this fault to the SICAM FPI via an optical signal.
With the rotary switch for each sensor, you can adjust the fault
current threshold for phase sensors from 200 A to 1200 A (type
1), 200 A to 800 A (type 2), and for ground sensors from 10 A to
100 A (type 1), 40 A to 300 A (type 2). If the current exceeds the 7.2
set threshold. the current sensor transmits a signal via polymer
optical fibers to the SICAM FPI. If this is the case, the corre- [ph_SICAM_FPI_W4, 1, --_--]
sponding LEDs flash and the binary contacts are activated. The
LEDs are inactive under normal operating conditions. Figure 7.2/1 SICAM FPI

SICAM FCG – Description

Description
The SICAM Fault Collector Gateway (FCG) device receives both
distribution line faults and load current values from SICAM Fault
Sensor Indicator (FSI). The fault status and current values from
SICAM FSI are communicated to the SICAM FCG via short-range
radio within a distance of 100 m. The received information
status and events are transmitted to the control center or cloud
service based on MLFB selection. The fault detected by
SICAM FSI is communicated to the SICAM FCG within a distance
of 100 m via short-range radio (SRR).
The SICAM FCG has 6 binary inputs and 3 binary outputs.
Configuration and diagnostics of the device can be conducted
locally with the Web GUI via a connection to a PC or laptop
computer, or remotely based on the GPRS (General Packet Radio
Service) cellular standard.
SICAM FCG must be mounted inside a housing which can
comply with standard IP54 or IP65. The Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) and short-range radio antennas [ph_SICAM_FCG_W3, 1, --_--]

must be mounted outside or on the housing. The recommended Figure 7.4/1 SICAM FCG

SICAM FCG – Description

Short-range radio module


• The short-range radio module communicates within 100 m
directly with the SICAM FSI device via a radio connection in
the license-free 2400-MHz band. Failures in overhead lines or
other status changes that are detected by the SICAM FSI
device are communicated to the SICAM FCG device via the
short-range radio module.
Time synchronization
During operation, the device needs the date and time for all
time-relevant processes. This guarantees a uniform time base in
communication with peripheral devices and makes time
stamping possible.
The following types of time synchronization are carried out,
depending on the parameterization:
• External time synchronization via Network Time Protocol
(NTP) or DNP3 protocol
It is recommended to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) for
external time synchronization from MindSphere cloud.
7.4
• Internal time synchronization via Real-Time Clock (RTC) (if
there is no external time synchronization)

The SICAM I/O-Unit 7XV5673 is a binary input/output device that
has been developed for substations and industrial sectors with
increased environmental demands. The SICAM I/O-Unit permits
transmission from binary inputs to binary outputs locally or over
large distances. It can be used for protection applications, such
as overcurrent protection, permissive overreach transfer trip
scheme, distance protection with signal connection, or as I/O
extension in substation automation systems.

Extension of the communication route


An extension of the communication route is possible.
The following devices can be used:
• With serial optical repeater 7XV5461, scalable up to 170 km
• Optical fiber connection also with mini star coupler 7XV5450
or RS485/optical fiber converter 7XV5650
• With different communication converters 7XV5662 (pilot

• Media converter for Ethernet RMC (Ruggedcom)
• Wireless transmission RS 900WNC (Ruggedcom)
Unidirectional binary signal transmission
When you use SICAM I/O-Units for unidirectional binary signal
transmission to Figure 8.1/3 then the units transfer binary
signals in one direction from a client unit to several server units.
In this application, the transmission takes place exclusively in [dw_log-config_of_bi-to-bo, 1, en_US]
one direction. Input signals (max. 6) are transmitted from the

Binary signal transmitters with gateway function


The application shows 2 separate bidirectional binary signal
transmissions. The main application is the following constella-
tion:
• Due to EMC environments, one SICAM I/O-Unit is to be
installed, for example, in the switch bay and connected via a
serial optical fiber.
• The optical fiber arrives in a central communication room and
is to be converted to electrical Ethernet. This is implemented
via SICAM I/O-Units as a serial gateway server. The logic struc-
ture is described in Figure 8.1/4.

Figure 8.1/8 shows the optical fiber connection of a SICAM I/O-
Unit to a communication converter 7XV5662-0AC01, that estab-
lishes a connection via pilot wires. Only 1 pair is required for
bidirectional signal exchange.
An additional isolating transformer allows 20 kV isolation of the
pilot wire connection.
A maximum of 6 individual binary signals can be transmitted
bidirectionally via the pilot wires. The additional time delay that
is caused by the transmission via the communication converter
and the pilot wires is less than 1 ms.
A typical application is the permissive overreach transfer trip
scheme of a directional overcurrent protection via pilot wires. In
this case, the independent overcurrent protection is connected

SICAM AI-Unit – Description

Description
The SICAM AI-Unit 7XV5674 is an analog input device (20 mA)
that is used by power utilities in the field of substations and in
the industrial sector where there are increased environmental
demands. Besides analog signal input, the SICAM AI-Unit can
compress the measured data by demand calculation, and can
monitor and signal parameterized limiting values. Measured
values and messages can be transferred to a protection device,
to a SICAM I/O-Unit, or to a substation or power-system control
for process automation. Interoperable standard protocols IEC
61850 GOOSE, Reporting/MMS, and Modbus RTU/TCP/UDP are
used here. The SICAM AI-Unit is thus a practical external 20mA
extension and a local or remote automation unit.
