Preface

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!

Installation

1.1 Mechanical Design

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:

1 power supply module (optionally 2 for redundancy)


1 master control module
Optionally up to 8 I/O modules

Standard Arrangement

8 I/O-Modules max.

TS35 rail
Master Control Module

Power Supply 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.

You find the exact information on mounting in section 1.3, Assembly.

Installation

1.2 Design and Elements of a Module

1.2.1 Peripheral Connector

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).

1.2.2 Communication Interfaces

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.

Connector used for


DSUB-9 V.28 serial interface; remote communication with multi-point traffic or
dial-up traffic according to IEC 60870-5-101
RJ45 10Base-T; network interface according to IEC 60870-5-104 of the
type TCP/IP

Installation

1.2.3 Connection Diagrams

These are located on the underside of the modules. They indicate examples of the external
circuitry of the modules.

1.2.4 Locking Clips

By means of these two metal clips the modules are locked onto the TS35 rail and also re-
moved.

1.2.5 Display Elements / Front Panel

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).

1.3 Assembly

1.3.1 Installation Location

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”.

1.3.1.1 Mounting Position

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).

1.3.1.2 Space Requirement

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.

1.3.2 Installation of the TS35 Rail (DIN Rail)

For the installation of the modules a TS35 rail is used.


This must conform to the European standard
EN 50 022.
The orientation and position in which the TS35 rail is
to be installed must be determined locally. Take into
account the details specified in chapter 1.3.1.2,
Space Requirement.

Caution
By means of the connection TS35 rail - cabinet/rack a reliable grounding connection must be guaranteed.

Installation

1.3.3 Installation of the Cable Duct

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 Installation and Removal of Modules

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.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 29


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Installation

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.

1.4 Setup of external Communication Connections

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.

spectively.

For the fuse protection a miniature circuit breaker 2-pole 2A characteristic C (standard type:
Merlin Gerin C60H 6kA) is recommended.

1.6 Wiring Process Peripherals

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 use of lead sleeves is recommended.

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.

1.7 Shielding and Protective Earthing

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.

1.7.2 Protective Earth and Ground

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.

1.9 Switching the System On and Off

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.

1.9.2 Switching Off

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 Engineering Tools

The engineering of SICAM MIC is alternatively possible via

SICAM TOOLBOX II, with tool OPM II


Web browser

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.

3.7.1.1 Engineering Procedure

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.

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:

User and rights


User-specific settings
Password
Workplace-specific settings
Organization of the SICAM TOOLBOX II
Language

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".

4.1.1.1 Users and Rights

The following user types are predefined and can be selected:

Type admin
Type profi
Type standard

For each user type different rights are predefined.

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”.

4.1.2.3 Change Password

As user type admin you can define a password for each newly added user.

Guidelines for the Assignment of Passwords


The password may consist of up to 8 characters
No differentiation between upper case and lower case
Special characters can be used
Empty password possible (logon to the project without password)

4.1.3 Plant Configuration

A plant is configured according to different perspectives:

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".

4.1.4 Import Firmware

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".

4.1.5 Configuration and Settings for Telecontrol

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”.

DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via SICAM TOOLBOX II

4.1.5.1 Hardware Configuration

Before the parameter setting a target system must be configured with the required system el-
ements:

Master control element


Peripheral element
I/O modules

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).

4.1.5.3 Process-Technical Settings

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”.

DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via SICAM TOOLBOX II

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".

Parameterization of the Process Signals and Assignment to the System Technique


The parameters for the technological processing of process signals reside in the navigation
tree below the link 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”.

4.1.5.4 Decentral Archiving (DEAR)

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”.

4.2.1 Creating an Application Program as Function Diagram (FUD)

For the creation of a Function Diagram the SICAM TOOLBOX II, tool "CAEx plus" is required.

4.2.1.1 Restrictions for the Creation of a Function Diagram

Blocks and data types


In the type instance and in the application blocks of the AU library, only blocks and data
types supported by SICAM MIC can be dragged and dropped into. For not supported
blocks and data types appears a one-way sign.
For an easy operability a SICAM MIC library exists within the project, which contains all
the compatible blocks for SICAM MIC.
Signals from the signal list
From the signal list only signal types supported by SICAM MIC can be dragged and
dropped into the type instance. For not supported signal types (for instance TI 38 – protec-
tion event) a one-way sign appears. The check is performed via the data type of the sig-
nal.
Also the system data point from the signal list can not be dragged and dropped into the
type instance.
System data points
Are available as global variables in the global variable object "System info" in the resource.
These global variables can be dragged and dropped into the FUD.
Type identifications
Since the type identifications supported by SICAM MIC are restricted, a check is per-
formed during the creation of the FUD. Not supported messages are not enabled to be
dragged and dropped into the FUD.
The message with the type identification 101 (counter interrogation) is not supported by
the FUD.
Retain
If messages or inputs/outputs of blocks are set to "retain" in the FUD, then a correspond-
ing warning is output upon the code generation.
CASDU
All the information which is produced in SICAM MIC has the same CASDU in the message
address. Thereby it is necessary that for messages which originate in the FUD the same
CASDU is assigned in the CAEx plus link.
With "wrong" setting in the "OPM II" the IL code generaration aborts with a corresponding
error information.
For input messages in the FUD an arbitrary message address can be assigned.
Status bit "Class 1"
This is not supported by the FUD (priority management of the communication function).
However, special variable names can be used to create a “CLASS 1” message and to trig-
ger thereby a dial-up connection.
Status bit "R" (redundancy)
This can be dragged and dropped into the FUD, however, it will never be set by the target
system. Using the redundancy bit a warning will be output upon code generation.
Additional attributes
These are not supported by SICAM MIC. Upon code generation these attributes are not
taken account of, and neither a warning nor an error will be output.

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”.

4.2.1.2 Configuring External Signals

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

generated with the tool "OPM II"


imported from a local parameterization (refer thereto section 5.1.3.7, Data Point Import
and Export)

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".

An introduction how to create a project can be found in the

SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Tutorials", section "CAEx plus"


CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "First Steps" and chapter "Additional Products", section
"Signal List (Optional)", as well as in the Online Help of "CAEx plus"

4.2.1.3 Create Function Diagram

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

predefined functions and function blocks (SICAM MIC library)


functions and function blocks defined by the user

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 ).

4.2.3 Commissioning and Test

4.2.3.1 Load Application Program Code

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-
tions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Loading of Applica-
tion Program (Reload)".

The operating instructions can be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"OPM II”, section “Transform and Load | SICAM 1703".

Caution
During a loading operation, the switching off of the master control element is to be absolutely avoided,
since the data on the SIM card could be destroyed as a result.

Difference between Access Location LOCAL and REMOTE


The difference between the access location depends on the communication link between PC
and SICAM MIC.

Access Location Meaning/Note


Local link via serial interface (without modem) or via Ethernet
Remote link via modem, operation possibilities are limited sometimes (see above), the
parameter remote control via web is not visible.

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

Online: on the webserver of the respective target system

Offline: within the respective parameter file

For the allocation of a password pay attention to the following guidelines:

A passwort may consist of maximum 8 characters (additional characters are cut)


Case sensitive
Special signs are allowed

Note
In case of problems with passwords, please contact the Siemens Support Center.

5.1.2 Logon and Logoff

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.

The users obtain different access rights.

Language User Access right


Deutsch Administrator read and write
Guest Read
English Administrator read and write
Guest Read

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:

Termination of the session by timeout


If there is no access to the webserver within 15 minutes, the session will be terminated au-
tomatically. For a new access a new logon is required.
Termination of the session by a new logon
With a logon to the webserver a still opened session will be terminated immediately.

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 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.

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.

Reset all Parameters


Data points of I/O modules already configured can be reset to their default values by removing
the corresponding module in the configuration, clicking the button Apply, and then reconfigur-
ing the module. The associated data points are then present with their default values.

5.1.3.4 Save and Load Parameters

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.

5.1.3.4.1 Write Parameters to SIM Card

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.

5.1.3.4.2 Read Parameters from SIM Card

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.

5.1.3.5 Open Project

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.

After the selection click on OK .

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.

Project with old Revision Level


If the project has been edited with an older revision level of WEBmic, a hint indication appears
with the question, if the parameter setting shall be converted to the current revision level.

If you click No , the project will not be opened.

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.

5.1.3.6 Close Project

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.

5.1.3.7 Data Point Import and Export

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 function can only be executed starting from an open project.

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®.

5.1.3.7.1 Data Point Import

The table must contain the following headings in the first row, in the text editor view the single
columns must be separated with ";":

MICDP (data point address)


MICTEXT (short text)
TI (type identification)
CASDU1
CASDU2
IOA1
IOA2
IOA3

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.

Remove Single Data Points


If the type identification of an entry is 0 or –1, the corresponding data point (DP) in
SICAM MIC will be removed and set to "not used". The same applies also if
IOA1/IOA2/IOA3=0/0/0.

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.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 127


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015

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.

5.1.3.7.2 Data Point Export

The export file contains – in contrast to the import file – the additional column

MICSRC (module type, source of the data point)

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.

Click on Save to write the text file.

5.1.3.8 Duplication of a Project

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.

Selection of Source and Target


Select the source (parameter file, file type mic) in the dialog window under PAR using the
Browse function.

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.

Duplication of Basis Parameters


By clicking on the check box for FILENAME SAME AS STATION NAME the filename for the file(s) to
be created is automatically derived from the station name.

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

These values can be entered manually or generated automatically. Automatically generated


values can be postprocessed manually.

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:

Fill with first value


Copies the value of the 1st row to all subsequent rows.
Increment from first value
The rows of the marked columns are written in each case ascending plus 1 from the value
of the previous row.

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.

Creation of Project Duplicates


After all rows are filled with the basis parameters the copies can be generated. The initiation is
carried out manually and can take place in two different ways:

Clicking the button Selected >>


The projects listed in tabular form are created selectively by marking the row number(s).
Clicking the button All >>
All projects listed in tabular form are created.

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 .

5.1.4.1 Starting the User Interface 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.

The initial mask of the user interface is opened online.

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.

5.1.4.2 Automatic Hardware Configuration

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.

Reset all Parameters to Default Values


After the resetting of the parameters a startup is executed automatically, and the current con-
figuration of the modules is transferred to the dynamic menu tree.

For further details, see section 5.1.5.1, System Settings, Reset all Parameters.

5.1.4.3 Save and Load 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.

5.1.4.3.1 Download Parameters

This function is used for transferring the parameters from SICAM MIC to a file (Download), for
example in order to duplicate the corresponding project.

The parameters can be transferred to a file as follows:

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.

5.1.4.3.2 Upload Parameters

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.

The parameters can be transferred to SICAM MIC as follows:

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 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.

5.1.5.1.1 Station Address and Plant Data

Common Address of ASDU


Enter an unambigous station address (CASDU1 and CASDU2). Both addresses together pro-
duce automatically the CASDU upon transfer. An inadmissible value is set to a value between
0 and 255.

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.

Parameterization via a TCP/IP Serial Link


The default addresses need not to be changed since they are used temporarily for the param-
eter setting of SICAM MIC.

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.

Parameterization via a Ethernet TCP/IP Link


The addresses for the Ethernet interface are set by default and must be changed on the sub-
net of SICAM MIC, if needed:

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.

5.1.5.1.3 Password and Access Right

Administrator Password, Guest Password


The passwords to enter in a project can be changed at any time. A changed password is
stored after transfer, the project remains open. A new logon into the project is only possible
with concordance of the entry and the current password.

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".

Remote Control via WEB Enabled


The local Administrator thereby determines, whether the remote administrator obtains the
same access rights or is restricted only to access one SICAM MIC (see section 5.1.1.1, Users
and Rights).

5.1.5.1.4 Supervision and Fault Behavior

Usage of the D01 Output


The output D01 on the master control unit can be used alternatively as watchdog, output or er-
ror output.

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.

Ax 1703 Error Message Enabled


The Ax 1703 error message corresponds to the standard IEC 60870-5-101/-104 private range
(TI135 FC148/4), further information see section 6.4.1.1, Ax 1703 Error Message.

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).

Acquisition Grid of the TM Modules


Basically the acquisition of the input signals is performed in a 10 ms grid. For fast applications,
the possibility to reduce the acquisition grid to 2.5 ms exists. This option, however, is only
possible with the suitable I/O modules (see section 7.4, Hardware Configuration).

Cause of Transmission ACTCON (7), ACTTERM (10)


If the identifications for command confirmation (ACTCON) and command termination
(ACTERM) are not used, all commands and set point commands sent to the PLC are changed
from the global chronologic ring to chronologic ring (behavior like single-point information).
The general interrogation (TI 100) is excluded.

5.1.5.1.5 Reset all Parameters

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.

5.1.5.2 Time 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.

Exceptional Settings for Dial-up Traffic


Optionally, an SMS can be sent independently from the process communication upon state
change of up to 8 definable data points (phone number adjustable).

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.

Selection "no Communication"


Optionally SMS can be sent. The preconditions for this are like for SMS upon dial-up traffic.

5.1.5.5 Configuration of Inputs and Outputs

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:

Binary input module


Binary output module
Analog input module
Analog output module
Speed acquisition module

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.

Assignment of Inputs/Outputs to Information Objects


Each I/O module is equipped with an individual number of physical input/outputs, that are
used for the acquisition or the output of electrical signals. In the configuration mask, for each
I/O module the module-specific inputs/outputs appear automatically together with the as-
signed parameters.

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.

5.1.5.6 Settings of the Inputs and Outputs

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.

Distinction Class 1 Data/Class 2 Data


Each information object in monitoring direction (inputs) can be assigned to the Class 1 or to
the Class 2. This assignment is specified in the standard IEC 60870-5-101/-104, and serves
for the priorization of information objects for the transmission by the communication function.

5.1.5.6.1 Binary Information Acquisition

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).

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 147


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via Web Browser

Inversion of Binary Information Items (Digital Inputs)


With an Inversion the state of a signal from the hardware is output inverse from the allocated
information object in the software (open-circuit/closed-circuit principle).

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.

Intermediate State Suppression Time for Double-point Information Items


An intermediate state is given if an actuator (disconnector, valve etc.) is not in a final position.
In case of a fault (gear defect, open-circuit signaling contact etc.) this must be reported.

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.

5.1.5.6.2 Counting Pulse Acquisition

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).

Setting of the Mode for the Counter Freeze and Transmission


This parameter defines how the integrated total is generated:

in a certain time interval


by means of an external counter interrogation

148 SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via Web Browser

Setting of the Interval Control


The local interval control serves for the autonomous freezing and transmitting of counting val-
ues to the central station. It is active after startup of SICAM MIC, even if no time is set in the
system yet.

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.

Example: quarter hour values

interval time to be set = 15 minutes

results following freezing and transmission moments:

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.

Overflow Counting Value (Value Range)


Exceeding the adjusted value range (parameter "overflow at") the "carry" bit (CY) is set and
the counting is continued with 0. At the next transmission the current integrated total is sent
with the "carry" bit, and the "carry" bit is reset again.

There is no "overflow" bit (OV) available.

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").

5.1.5.6.3 Current and Voltage Acquisition

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).

5.1.5.6.4 Temperature Acquisition

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).

Connecting Resistance Thermometers


The resistance thermometers can be connected using 2-, 3- or 4-wire technique. The
I/O module supplies the constant current needed for the measurement.

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.

5.1.5.6.5 Frequency Acquisition

For the acquisition of frequencies a module TE-6420 must be configured.

Class 1 Data
By means of selection via the corresponding check box a frequency value is assigned to the

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).

5.1.5.6.6 Speed Monitoring

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.

Frequency of Pulses and Acceleration Time Constant


Specify the frequency of the pulses at maximum speed, as well as the time which the generat-
ing unit needs to reach the maximum speed. With these values the measured speed is cor-
rected during startup of the machine.

Speed Measured Value Output


By means of assignment of an IOA the speed value can be output via a digital output. The
anlog value output is provided for the local display only, it can not be used for a protective
function. At failure of the speed monitoring module the last value remains active.

Via the corresponding check box you can decide whether the value is output with (marked) or
without (not marked) sign.

Assignment of the Single-Point Information "Guide Vane Closed"


During standstill a speed signal may be bouncing due to vibrations. Using two sensors this
bouncing can be suppressed by means of this information. If this signal does not exist or the
guide vane is open, a speed is detected and depending on the range the outputs are set.

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.

Assignment of the Error Information


By means of the respective assignment of an IOA, the error information acquired by the speed
monitoring can be output via digital outputs.

A fault of the speed contacts is present

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.

Permitted Deviation of the Sensor Signals


Through the staggered mounting of the sensors a speed change can be detected earlier from
one signal than from the other one. The parameter should be >=1%.

Note
If the deviation is set too small, error messages may occur upon change of small speeds.

Setting the Speed Limits


Dependent on the speed value up to 14 events can be defined. By means of the respective
entry of an IOA unequal 0/0/0, the therefore required digital outputs can be defined.

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.

Example: desired resolution at 130% nominal speed

with make functionality greater than 130% with a hysteresis of 5%


with break functionality smaller than 125% with a hysteresis of 5%

Setting the Standstill Detection


By means of entry of an IOA unequal 0/0/0 a digital output for the output of a standstill infor-
mation can be defined.

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.

Setting the Creep Detection


By means of entry of an IOA unequal 0/0/0 a digital output for the output of a creep infor-
mation can be defined.

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.

Setting the Measured Value Parameters


These parameters are only active for the communication link, the measured value to the ana-
log output is transmitted cyclically.

Speed Measured Value for the Communication


The measured value is generated as absolute value only. If a directional speed value is de-
sired, an applicational solution via the PLC (IL) is possible. For the generation of a value with
sign, both parameterized data points "hand of rotation backward" and "hand of rotation for-
ward" can be evaluated.

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).

Single-Point Information Items for the Communication


By means of selection via the corresponding check box you can define whether all the infor-
mation shall be sent also to the communication (marked) or not (not marked).

Error Output D01


By means of selection via the corresponding check box you can define whether the error out-
put of the master control element shall be used (marked) or not (not marked). This digital out-
put can be used for instance to initiate an emergency closure.

5.1.5.6.7 Command Output

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.

Return Information Monitoring


The parameter "Command termination (TERM)" specifies the time, within which the return in-
formation assigned to an output command must arrive.

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):

1 digital output basic module


1 up to 7 digital output modules

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.

5.1.5.7 Decentralized Archive (DEAR)

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).

5.1.5.7.2 Configuration of DEAR

First the archive must be configured. To do this, click in the menu tree Decentral
Archive | Configuration to enter the parameters.

Timeout for Filetransfer


With this parameter it is defined when the data transmission will be cancelled if a disturbance
occurs during a file transfer (connection error etc.).

Address Subdirectory, File


The main directory has got its fixed address (IOA1=0, IOA2=0, IOA3=0). The addressing of
the subdirectory and of the first file can be chosen freely. The addresses of all the subsequent
files will be calculated automatically. This means, that the second file has the same address
as the first file, but the value of the IOA1 is incremented by one and so on (see example be-
low).

Recording Grid for Measured Values


This parameter defines the recording grid (the cycle time) for measured values. It can be set
from 1 to 60 minutes.

Number of Bytes for CASDU, IOA, COT in the Archive


You can select the format of saving the entries into the archive. If there is a control system
which needs another format for the CASDU, IOA or COT you can define this with the help of
these parameters. The parameters only affect the entries in the DEAR, however, it will not af-
fect any other data in your automation unit.

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.

Memory Configuration Archive


With the help of this parameter it is possible to select the configuration of the archive stored
on the SIM card. You may select this parameter referring to your field of application. The
smaller the bandwidth of your communication line is the smaller the separated files should be.

Spontaneous Transmission of Directory List


It is possible to transmit the directory list spontaneously. This behavior is specified in the IEC
60870-5. It means, that whenever there is a change in the directory list (one file was written,
or an old file was deleted), this change may be reported to the control system. However, since
upon initialization of a file transfer the control system asks for the directory list anyway, it is not
useful to transmit the directory list spontaneously.

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.

5.1.5.7.4 Archiving Data Points from PLC

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.

5.2 Automation

5.2.1 Creating an Application Program as Instruction List (IL)

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.

5.2.1.1 Structure of an Instruction List

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.

Application Program (Example)

5.2.1.2 Syntax for Instructions

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).

An instruction command consists of the command (operation) and an operand.

Example:

LD M_BOOL_TEST (*command: LD operand: M_BOOL_TEST*)

Each operation produces a calculated value (result). The following operation can calculate fur-
ther with this result.

5.2.1.2.2 Addressing of I/O Variables

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.

Example for the simple syntax:

I_030_001_000_000_TEST.VALUE
0_031_005_001_000.OFF

Example for the expanded syntax:

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!

5.2.1.2.3 Addressing of Flags

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".

5.2.1.2.4 Call of Functions

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 call parameters must be interchanged with a combination of LD and ST.

The name of the call parameter is produced from the name of the function and the name of
the parameter separated by a ".".

Example:

LD 9 (*load value 9 into the accumulator*)


ST SQRT.IN0 (*store at input for square root func-
tion*)
CAL SQRT (*call function*)
ST ADD.IN0 (*store result from*)
(*square root function at input 0 for ADD
function*)
LD 17 (*load value 17 into the accumulator*)
ST ADD.IN1 (*store at input 1 for ADD function*)
CAL ADD (*call function*)
ST M_DINT_RESULT (*store result in a flag*)

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:

LD M_DINT_COMPARE (*load flag*)


ST EQ.IN0 (*store at input 0 for equal function*)
LD 3 (*load value 3*)
ST EQ.IN1 (*store at input 1 for equal function*)
CAL EQ (*call function*)
ST O_030_008_000_000.VALUE (*if both values are equal the output of
the function is set to 1*)

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).

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 179


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via Web Browser

5.2.1.2.5 Call of Function Blocks

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*)

5.2.1.3 Instruction Comments

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:

LD 15 (*load constant 15*)


ST M_DINT_CONSTANT (*store in a flag*)

5.2.1.4 Settings in the Application Program

By means of predefined system variables the following parameters can be set for the program
execution:

Cycle time
Spontaneous program execution
Data flow control

5.2.1.4.1 Setting the Cycle Time

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.

180 SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via Web Browser

The cycle time can be specified in the IL with the variable PLC_CYCLETIME:

In the program part PLC_RESET.


Time-scale is set one time with a startup.
In the program part PLC_START.
Time-scale is set during running operation and can be changed by means of the applica-
tion program.

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:

If no cycle time is set, it is set to 100ms (default).


Extended due to exceeding of the processing time
Retriggering due to spontaneous program execution

Affecting the Processing Time


The processing time is the duration of a program run of the complete IL. It is primarily deter-
mined by the size of the IL (number of operations).

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 can be extended due to:

Number of communication connections (to further automation units, control system)


Number of I/O modules on the TM-Bus
Relative program calls
Diagnosis and error handling
Test- and commissioning functions such as status and simulation of inputs/outputs
Saving the IL (Download)
Change of parameters online

The processing time of the application program is displayed on the user interface (online) un-
der PLC | Diagnosis.

Exceeding Processing Time


The processing time must not be greater than the cycle time. If the maximum processing time
successively exceeds 50% of the set cycle time five times, then the cycle time is increased by
50% independently by the system.

Simultaneously an error information is set (error number 033, see section C.1.1, Error Indica-
tions).

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 181


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via Web Browser

5.2.1.4.2 Spontaneous Program Execution

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).

Possible events are:

Change of state of a data point from the periphery


Change of state of a data point from the communication

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:

Event occurs during a cyclic program execution (S1).


Event occurs during a pause (S2).

5.2.1.4.3 Data Flow Control

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):

Send to the controller (PLC_TX_DATAFLOW_xxx = "0").


This applies to signals that are to be logically linked further, but are not forwarded to either
the central station or to the control system.
Send to the controller and to the communication (PLC_TX_DATAFLOW_xxx = "1").
This applies to signals that on the one hand are logically linked further, but on the other
hand are to be provided directly for the central station or for the control system.

1)

Control

Periphery routing implicit Code Communication


via the address

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*)

Automatic Routing of the Data Points


In the SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basis System Elements, chapter "Auto-
mation", section “Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function”, section "Internal Signal
Processing" |”Automatic Routing of Data Points” exists a listing of the routing possibilities for
data points which are used within the IL.

5.2.1.5 System Information in the Application Program

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

For further details, refer to the Appendix A, Variables in the IL.

Note
The system information is are also displayed in the user interface (online) under the Diagnosis of the
Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function.

5.2.1.6 Command Processing according to IEC 61131

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.

If an ACT remains in the controller (target = controller, no periphery), then an ACTCON,


ACTTERM that is to be possibly simulated can be generated in 1 cycle pass. For this the cause
of transmission for the command must be set to 0 and the spontaneous bit to 1. Then one
ACTCON and one ACTTERM respectively will be transmitted.

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).

184 SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via Web Browser

Single Command and Double Command


Single commands (TI 45) can be generated by the IL only with the states

0 (OFF) only with COT = 7, 10 (CON, TERM) and S = 1


1 (ON)
Double commands (TI 46) can be generated by the IL only with the states

01 (OFF)
10 (ON)
Other states will not generate a command.

5.2.1.7 Generation of Integrated Totals

There are two possibilities of integrated total generation in the controller

Spontaneous transmission with change.


Automatically if the input address is unequal to the output address of the controller.
Behavior according to parameter setting of the digital inputs (remote control).
Automatically if the input address is equal to the output address of the controller.

5.2.1.8 Reading System Errors

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*)

5.2.2 Commissioning and Test

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

5.2.2.1 Initiate Startup (Warm Restart)

A startup of SICAM MIC can be initiated in two manners:

Operation of the telecontrol function (see section 5.1.6.1, Initiate Startup)


Switchover between blocked and enabled program execution (see Configuration)

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.

All other data are initialized with the following values:

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

The controller starts the operation only after the initialization.

Note
The communication (serial or Ethernet) is first begun after one single, complete pass of the cycle part of
the application program (PLC_START).

5.2.2.2 Startup due to Application Program Change (Cold Restart)

After the loading of the application program, a startup is requested by SICAM MIC and per-
formed automatically.

This relates to the following possible operating functions (see Configuration):

Upload PLC Code


Recompile PLC Code
Erase PLC Code

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.

The following functions are available:

PLC program execution


disable
enable
PLC Code
Upload
Download
Recompile
Erase from SIM card

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.

188 SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Engineering via Web Browser

5.2.2.3.1 Enable and Disable PLC Program Execution

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.

5.2.2.3.2 Save and Load PLC Code

Save PLC Code


This function is used for saving the application program loaded in the PLC on the PC (online).

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.

Subsequently click on the button Save to write the file.

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).

Load PLC Code


This function is used for loading the application program from PC to the SIM card in
SICAM MIC (upload).

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.

Save PLC Code (Offline)


Alternatively the application program can also be read from the SIM card offline with the help
of WEBmic and stored in a file. For this, the SIM card must be inserted in a read-/write device
installed on the engineering PC.

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.

Subsequently click on the button Save to write the file.

Load PLC Code (Offline)


Alternatively the application program can be written offline from a file to the SIM card with the
help of WEBmic. For this, the SIM card must be inserted in a read-/write device installed on the
engineering PC.

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.

Subsequently click on the button Save to write the file.

5.2.2.3.3 Recompile PLC Code

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.

5.2.2.3.4 Erase PLC Code from SIM Card

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:

SIM Card writing. This procedure can last up to 30 seconds.


PLC compiling. This procedure can last up to 40 seconds.
In case of use of the serial interface the PPP connection must be
reestablished.

5.2.2.4 Test Functions

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.

The following test functions are available:

Program execution
Start
Stop
Stop at a command line
Stop dependent on variable
Variable
Read
Write

5.2.2.4.1 Start and Stop Program Execution

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).

5.2.2.4.2 Stop Program Execution at a Command Line

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 .

5.2.2.4.3 Stop Program Execution dependent on Variable

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.

5.2.2.4.4 Read and Write Variable

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.

Permissible variable types are:

Binary input
Binary output
Analog input
Analog output
Flags

System variables, functions and function blocks have no test function.

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 .

6.1.1 LED Display upon Startup

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.

6.2 I/O Module Monitoring

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!

6.3 Behaviour of the Outputs on Startup and Communica-


tion Failure

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":

Error cause Description Action


Power-up Return of the operating volt- With power-up the substitute value is always
age after failure output; since no setpoint value has yet been
received, the parameterized substitute value
is calculated and taken in the process image
as act-value (active)

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.

6.4.1 SICAM TOOLBOX II

Note
The logging via diagnostic functions is for SICAM MIC only possible via a web browser.

6.4.1.1 Ax 1703 Error Message

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.

Network overview diagnostic


The error messages of all automation units in the network are output in a report window with
the function Network overview diagnostic (sum information).

Structure of the Ax 1703 error message:

Bit No. Meaning Remarks


0 Internal errors PLC shut down
1 External errors TM module fault

6.4.2.4 Diagnosis of the Time

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).

6.4.2.4.1 Time Synchronization

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.

6.5 Maintenance of the Hardware

6.5.1 General for the Replacement of Modules

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:

the terminals can be detached without tools


the module can be detached from the DIN rail without tools
to remove the SIM card a ballpoint pen or a pencil is required
the user data (parameters and IL) are stored non-volatile on the SIM card

Independent of the firmware code the following information is stored non-volatile in

6.5.2 Replacement of the Master Control Module

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.

6.5.3 Replacement of the SIM Card

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 problems can occur with the SIM card:

SIM card not legible


The red ER-LED is activated. If the IP address is no longer legible, then the station con-
cerned can no longer be accessed by means of the web browser.
Data on the SIM card are faulty
The system detects a checksum error. In this case the SIM card is overwritten with default
parameters. This is also applicable if a new SIM card is inserted in the master control
module (no differentiation between faulty data or new SIM card).

The following error messages refer to problems with the SIM card:

SIM not available (SIM card not present or not legible)


SIM checksum error, PLC halted (check of the memory space for parameters and
temporary data with startup)

6.5.3.1 Read and Write complete 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).

6.5.3.2 Erase Content of the SIM Card

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 .

The content of the SIM card is erased.

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).

6.5.4 Replacement of an I/O Module

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.

6.5.5 Removal of an I/O 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.

6.5.6 Adding an I/O Module

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.

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.

6.6.2.1 Errors upon Loading the Firmware

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:

Voltage failure while the loading procedure is running


Abortion of FLASHmic by the user while the loading procedure is running
Failure (defect, shutdown) of the PC
Abortion of the application program due to a hardware error
Abortion or excessively long fault of the communication connection between PC and
SICAM MIC

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.

7.2.1 Time Synchronization

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.

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.

The following limitations apply for the utilization of the SK mode:

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)

Time specifications in milliseconds


tp Break Time before switch on the transmit part
Before a message is transmitted the set pause time (tp) is waited before the transmit
signal level (RTS) is switched on.
tv Setup time after RTS ON
After the transmit signal level (RTS) is switched on the message transmission is started
after the set-up time (tv) has expired.
tn Reset time
After the message transmission has ended the transmit signal level (RTS) is first swit
ched off after expiry of the reset time (tn).
tdis Disable Time
To prevent interface errors, on reception of a message the possibility exists of deactiva
ting the receiver for a parameterized time.
tbs Bounce suppression time
With a change to the DCD-input from a stable state (active/inactive) the bounce sup
pression time is started.
tstab Stability monitoring time
After the bounce suppression time has expired, the stability monitoring time is started.
The "new" DCD-state is first used for the message synchronization after stability moni
toring time has expired.
tcl Continuous level monitoring time
Serves to detect a "countinuous level" on the line possible causes are for instance: de-
st
fective transmission equipment, noise level). The monitoring time is started with the 1
edge (inactive -> active) at the DCD-input and stopped again with going DCD-input (ac
tive -> inactive) after the bounce suppression- and the stability monitoring time has
expired. On detection of a countinuous level a fault is signaled.
tdly Transmission delay
A message transmision is started with "active DCD-input" at the latest on expiry of the
transmission delay.

Note
The time values for t p, tv and tdly are used to calculate the expected acknowledgement time!

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.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 227


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Parameter Setting Instruction

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.

For the initiation of an SMS a single-point information as well as a double-point information


can be used, whereby it can be differentiated when an SMS message shall be generated (def-
inition of the parameters "IOA1, 2, 3" and the corresponding pull-down menu).

The phone number to which the SMS shall be sent is settable.

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

7.3.1.1.3 Ethernet, LAN (Ax, only CP-6040)

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.

7.3.1.1.4 Internet, GPRS (Ax, only CP-6040)

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.

7.3.3 Settings if no Communication is Selected

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.

7.3.4 Communication Failure Handling

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.

With communication type Ethernet/Internet in "controlling" mode a connection error is signaled


immediately if a parameterized connection fails. In "controlled" mode the "Timeout until clear-
ing queues" is started upon failure of all parameterized connections. If no connection setup
takes place until expiry of this time, all rings will be deleted and a connection fault is signaled
simultaneously.

Warning
After expiry of the monitoring time, additionally all the digital outputs (DO) will be terminated.

Addressing of the Information Objects


The information objects are addressed via the station identification (CASDU) and the infor-
mation object address (IOA). The CASDU results from the parameterization of CASDU1 and
CASDU2 (1 octet each).

The IOA can also be freely parameterized. It consists of 3 octets (IOA1 = Octet 1, IOA2 = Oc-
tet 2, IOA3 = Octet 3). Consequently each data point can be assigned an optional, unambigu-
ous address.

Assignment of the IOA algorithmic


If the IOA is not freely parameterized, then numbering according to the following scheme
takes place:

No. Description IOA address range


0 Master control element 1…15
1 I/O-Module No. 0 16…31
2 I/O-Module No. 1 32…47

7.5.3 Count Pulse Acquisition

Acquisition, processing and time-tagging of integrated totals and counter values via digital in-
puts.

The count pulse acquisition comprises the following functions:

Release/Blocking
Acquisition
Inversion
Impulse counting
Count formation
Counter value formation
Counter interrogation
Interval control
Message forwarding

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.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 249


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Parameter Setting Instruction

7.5.3.4 Impulse Counting

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.

7.5.3.5 Counter Value Formation

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".

7.5.3.6 Integrated Total Formation

Freeze and Transmit


At defined freezing moments the integrated total for the transmission is formed with a freezing
trigger. Thereout result the following type of counter value conditioned value:

Frozen absolute value


Current absolute value of the counter at the moment of the last freezing trigger. This cor-
responds to a "counter freezing without reset" according to the standard
IEC 60870-5-101/104.

Parameter Setting Instruction

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

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

7.5.3.7 Counter Interrogation

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.

7.5.3.8 Interval Control

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.

7.5.3.9 Transmission of Integrated Total

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":

Mode A: Local freezing and spontaneous transmission.


The interval for the spontaneous transmission can be adjusted.
Mode C: Freezing due to a counter interrogation and transmission due to another coun-
ter interrogation.
The necessity of a counter interrogation command can be set.

By zero-range suppression, value fluctuations of the sensor in the zero-current state can be
suppressed. For this, the zero-range suppression affects on a defined zero range.

Plausibility Check
By the plausibility check, values which are smaller than the limit of the plausible range are set

7.5.4.5 Change Monitoring

So as not to load the transmission equipment unnecessarily, the adapted value is monitored
for change in accordance with the following rules:

The first value determined is transmitted immediately.


Each change of the data point quality descriptor "invalid" triggers an immediate transmis-
sion, excluded from this is a change of the quality descriptor "overflow".
Change monitoring in accordance with the method of the additive threshold value proce-
dure (no data point quality descriptor marked).

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 263


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Parameter Setting Instruction

Additive Threshold Value Procedure


A large threshold, an additive threshold and a processing grid are defined by parameter set-
ting. If the deviation from the last-transmitted value is greater than the large threshold, the new
value is immediately transmitted.

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.

7.5.4.6 Message Forwarding

The forwarding of the processed current 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.

7.5.5.5 Change Monitoring

So as not to load the transmission equipment unnecessarily, the adapted value is monitored
for change in accordance with the following rules:

The first value determined is transmitted immediately


Each change of the data point quality descriptor "invalid" triggers an immediate transmis-
sion, excluded from this is a change of the quality descriptor "overflow"
Change monitoring in accordance with the method of the additive threshold value proce-
dure (no data point quality descriptor marked)

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 275


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Parameter Setting Instruction

Additive Threshold Value Procedure


A large threshold, an additive threshold and a processing grid are defined by parameter set-
ting. If the deviation from the last-transmitted value is greater than the large threshold, the new
value is immediately transmitted.

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.

7.5.5.6 Message Forwarding

The forwarding of the processed voltage 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.

7.5.6 Temperature Acquisition

Acquisition, processing and time-tagging of temperature values via from resistance thermome-
ters via analog inputs.

The temperature acquisition comprises the following functions:

Blocking
Acquisition
Noise rejection
Smoothing
Change monitoring
Message Forwarding

7.5.6.1 Release/Blocking

The temperature 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.

7.5.6.2 Acquisition

The acquisition grid and the physical measuring range for the analog inputs are dependent on
the used I/O module and the selected resistance thermometer. Via an analog/digital converter
(ADC) the voltage drop at the temperature-dependent resistance is calculated.

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.

A resistance thermometer can be connected using 2-, 3- or 4-wire technique.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 279


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Parameter Setting Instruction

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.

The smoothing takes place according to the formula

Value SMOOTH Value ANP (1 - F) Value SMOOTH_OLD F

ValueSMOOTH .................. smoothened new value


ValueANP ....................... unsmoothened value
ValueSMOOTH_OLD ............ smoothened old value
F ................................... smoothing factor (0.00…0.99)

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.

7.5.6.5 Change Monitoring

So as not to load the transmission equipment unnecessarily, the adapted value is monitored
for change in accordance with the following rules:

The first value determined is transmitted immediately.


Each change of the data point quality descriptor (value faulty) triggers an immediate
transmission. Excluded from this is a change of the OV bit.
No data point quality descriptor marked: change monitoring in accordance with the method
of the additive threshold value procedure.

Additive Threshold Value Procedure


A large threshold, an additive threshold and a processing grid are defined by parameter set-
ting. If the deviation from the last-transmitted value is greater than the large threshold, the new
value is immediately transmitted.

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.

7.5.7 Frequency Acquisition

Acqisition, processing and time-tagging of frequencies via digital inputs. The function is only
possible in conjunction with an I/O module for period duration monitoring.

The frequency acquisition comprises the following functions:

Release/Blocking
Acquisition
Correction
Change monitoring
Message forwarding

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.

7.5.7.5 Change Monitoring

So as not to load the transmission equipment unnecessarily, the adapted value is monitored
for change in accordance with the following rules:

The first value determined is transmitted immediately.


Each change of the data point quality descriptor (value faulty) triggers an immediate
transmission. Excluded from this is a change of the OV bit.
No data point quality descriptor marked: change monitoring in accordance with the method
of the additive threshold value procedure.

Additive Threshold Value Procedure


A large threshold, an additive threshold and a processing grid are defined by parameter set-
ting. If the deviation from the last-transmitted value is greater than the large threshold, the new
value is immediately transmitted.

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.

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 speedmonitoring comprises the following functions:

Blocking/Release
Acquisition
Direction of rotation detection
Standstill detection
Creep detection
Output of binary information items in case of fault
Output of switching commands
Speed output
Change Monitoring
Message Forwarding

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.

Parameter Setting Instruction

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.

7.5.8.3 Direction of Rotation Detection

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: Direction forward


Status B: Direction backward

Status
A

IN IC0

IN IC1
1 2 3 4 t

Status
B

IN IC0

IN IC1
t
1 2 3 4

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).

7.5.8.4 Gradient Monitoring

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.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM MIC User Manual 293


DC6-058-2.01, Edition 06.2015
Parameter Setting Instruction

7.5.8.5 Standstill Detection

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.

7.5.8.6 Creep Detection

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.

7.5.8.7 Speed Threshold Values

Depending on the speed value criteria for the definition of events like

a trip
switching on/off of pumps, refrigerations or other aggregates

can be assigned via up to 14 digital outputs.

The criteria for the activation of an output are adjustable by means of

Threshold value
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.

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.

7.5.9.3 Initiate Command Output

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"

7.5.9.3.1 Formal Check

On reception of the spontaneous information object "command", an internal check takes place
before the setpoint command is carried out.

The following checks are performed:

Cause of transmission is
Activation or
Abortion of Activation
Type identifier in the spontaneous information object corresponds with the parameterized.
Command identifier is

7.5.9.3.2 Direct Command

The procedure for the command transmission according to IEC 60870-5-101/104 for "direct
command" ("execution command") is utilized if the maximum time between select and execute
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.

The following checks are performed:

1-out-of-n check
No command selected
No command in execution
Control circuit checks (dependent on the system element)
Depending on these checks a positive or negative confirmation of the activation takes place.

7.5.9.3.3 Select and Execute Command

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.

Selection Command (Select)


On reception of the spontaneous information object "command" with the cause of transmis-
sion "activation" and the data point identifier "select" gets checked, whether the selective
command is permitted.

The following checks are performed:

Maximum time between select and execute > 0.


1-out-of-n check
No command selected.
No command in execution.
If these conditions are not fulfilled,

the command is rejected and


a negative confirmation of the activation is sent.

If these conditions are fulfilled,

a positive confirmation of the activation is sent and


the activation the execute command is waited for.

Expiration of Timeout
If the maximum time between select and execute expires,

the selected command is rejected.

Abortion of the Selection


The waiting state can be terminated by means of a spontaneous information object "com-
mand" with the cause of transmission "deactivation", the qualifier of command "S/E" is not rel-
evant.

The following checks are performed:

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.

If these conditions are not fulfilled,

a negative confirmation of the abortion of the activation is sent and


the selected command is NOT rejected.
If these conditions are fulfilled,

the selected command is aborted and


a positive confirmation of the abortion of the activation is sent.

Execute Command (execute)


On reception of the spontaneous information object "command" with the cause of transmis-
sion "activation" and the data point identifier "execute" within the set maximum time between
select and execute after a selection command gets checked, whether the execute command
is permitted:

The command to be executed is selected, it means the elements of the spontaneous in-
formation object of select- and execute command are identical, except the element "S/E"
and the elements of the timetag.
Maximum time between select and execute > 0.
1-out-of-n check

If these conditions are not fulfilled,

the command is rejected and


a negative confirmation of the activation is sent.

If these conditions are fulfilled,

a positive confirmation of the activation is sent and


the command output initiated (dependent on the system element).

7.5.9.3.4 1-out-of-n Check

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 command will be rejected and


a negative confirmation of the activation is sent.

7.5.9.3.5 Set Control Location

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".

7.5.9.4 Monitor Pulse Duration

7.5.9.4.1 Command Output Time

The command output time defines how long the actuator is actuated. It is differentiated be-
tween

a command output time independent of the process and


a command output time dependent on the process.

For the command output time independent of the process, the output time is defined in the
spontaneous information object "command":

Short or long command output time:


The command output time is to be set for all the commands of the I/O module.
No definition:
For each data point the command output time can be set (command output duration no
additional definition).

If the command output time = 0,

the command is rejected and


the activation is negatively confirmed.

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 .

7.5.9.4.2 Return Information Monitoring

The state information monitoring is used to

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.

7.5.9.5 Prepare Control Circuit (dependent on the System Element)

7.5.9.5.1 Idle Check

The idle check is performed periodically, even if no command is to be output.

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.

7.5.9.5.2 Selective Activation Check

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.

7.5.9.5.3 Resistance Check

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.

7.5.9.5.4 Electric Current Measurement

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.

7.5.9.5.5 Activation of Actuators with Self Interruption

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.

7.5.9.5.6 Earth-Fault Check

In dependance of the wiring variant 2 methods for the earth-fault recognition are applied:

with 1.5 or 2-pole circuitry by means of an electric current measurement


with 1-pole circuitry by means of a resistance check

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:

A…Plus pole of the battery grounded


B…Battery symmetrically grounded
C…Minus pole of the battery grounded

Legend for the subsequent figures:

UBAT = 24…220 VDC


RSYM = 56 k
RM = 900
RL = 30…44 k
RE < 145 k

Earth-Fault Recognition with 1.5 or 2-pole Circuitry


With this circuitry variants the earth-fault check can be switched on for each command inde-
pendently of the resistance check or the electric current measurement. Thereby the possibility
exists to perform the resistance check with each command output or only with the periodical
control circuit check.

Warning
With 2-pole circuitry, for proper function of the earth-fault recognition the group relay must be used addi-
tionally.

7.5.9.6 Error Handling

The error handling of the command output distinguishes between:

Meaning

Abortion Error in the operation or parameterization


Abortion with diagnosis Error in the external wiring
Abortion with blockage Error in the module

Note
In the event of an error the command output tries to deactivate all the relays in order to interrupt the com-
mand output circuit. Whether the command output circuit is interrupted in fact is dependent on the error.

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.

Consequently the system element is ready for a command.

7.5.9.6.2 Abortion with Diagnosis

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.

Consequently the system element is ready for a command.

7.5.9.6.3 Abortion with Blockage

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.

7.5.9.7 Periodical Control Circuit Check

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:

Idle check by means of reading the relay coil activation status


Check on relay contacts got stuck
Check of all control circuits by means of sequential activation of the relays. Thereby a se-
lective activation check and a continuity check or a resistance check is carried out.

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.

7.5.11.3 Technological Adaptation

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.

7.6 Decentralized Archive

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.

DEAR is separated in three partial functions:

Saving of data of a substation


Transmission to the control system
Update of the archives in the control system

7.6.1 Manner of Operation

7.6.1.1 Acquisition of Events

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:

Spontaneous upon change of state (binary information)


In a time-scale (measured value)

Each record contains a time tag with a resolution of 1 ms.

7.6.1.2 Addressing of the Data Points

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.

7.6.1.3 Archiving before Time Setting

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.

7.6.1.4 Handling of the Day Alternation

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.

7.6.1.5 Supported Type Identifications

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:

TI Data point type Type of archiving


1)
30 single-point information with 7 bytes time Spontaneous
1)
31 double-point information with 7 bytes time Spontaneous
34 measured value, normalized with 7 bytes time Cyclic 2)
35 measured value, scaled with 7 bytes time Cyclic 2)
36 measured value, short floating point with 7 bytes time Cyclic 2)
1)
37 integrated total with 7 bytes time Spontaneous
1)
upon each change of state of a data point, this is recorded in the archive
2)
datapoints are recorded in the archive according to the adjusted recording grid

7.6.1.6 Generation of Archive Files

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.

7.6.2 File Transfer according to IEC 60870-5

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:

1. Interrogation main directory by the control system

Parameter Setting Instruction

7.6.2.1 Definitions for the Request of Files

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.

7.6.2.2 Parameter Setting Rules for Remote Stations

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).

B.1 Transfer an Input to a Signaling Output and to a Com-


mand Output

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.

B.4 Operating Hours Counter

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 sum of the operating hours results of two values:

Current counter score (CTU_COUNTER.CV)


Counter score before the last power down (MR_DINT_MINUTES)

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.

B.5 Bounce Suppression

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.

Adress type
The address type defines if a system-technical or a process-technical address is entered as address of a
datapoint in a message

Analog input
Hardware for the acquisition of an analog signal via measuring transformer (measured value via current,
voltage, temperature, resistance)

Analog input module


Module (submodule, I/O module, etc.) to acquire analog signals. Task of an "analog input" is the evalua-
tion of analog signals, and consequently the recuperation of the analog process information items. De-
pending on the comprehension of the term, the adaptation is also included or not.

Analog output
Hardware for the output of an analog signal to a display equipment (measured value) or to the setpoint-
value input to an actuator (current, voltage)

Analog output module


Module (submodule, I/O module, etc.) for the output of analog signals. Task of an "analog output" is the
transformation of arithmetical values to currents or voltages, and consequently for the output of analog
process information items.

Application program
Logical arrangement of all program language elements and constructs, that are required for the intended
signal processing for the control of a machine or of a process with a PLC system (acc. to
IEC 61131-12.1).
With CAEx plus application programs for open-/closed-loop control functions are created. An application
program comprises the task(s) and the related program instances and type instances. An application pro-
gram is executed by a resource ( CPU).

Application service data unit


The application service data unit (ASDU) is composed of a data unit identifier and a information object.
The data unit identifier has always the same structure for all ASDUs and consists of 4 octets. Its structure
is as follows:
• Type identification
• Variable structure qualifier
• Cause of transmission
• Common address of ASDU
The common address of ASDU shall normally be identical to the address used in the link layer. The infor-
mation object consists of an information object identifier, a set of information elements and, if present, a
time tag. The information object identifier consists of 2 octets. Its structure is as follows:
• Function type
• Information number

ASDU
Application Service Data Unit

Assign
Linking of datapoint-related information with the object, with that the functions process such information.
At data sources and data sinks of a data stream, datapoint-related information is inserted to or extracted
from the datastream by means of messages. At a source, this information is provided by a function, at a
sink it is utilized by a function.

Autonomy
An autonomous basisc system element and its supplementary system elements (protocol and peripheral
elements) continue working during a failure of the master control unit

Automation unit
An automation unit is a modular structured device for the acquisition, processing and output of process in-
formation. It communicates in automation networks via a serial or Ethernet protocols with other automa-
tion units or control center systems.
An automation unit consists of at least 1 mounting rack or 1 DIN rail (depending on system), 1 power sup-
ply and 1 basic system element, as well as optional peripheral elements and optional protocol elements.

Automatic dataflow routing


The routing of individual process information items is not necessary. Simply only the direction (monitoring
direction, control direction, both directions) the messages are to be transmitted must be parameterized.
The type identification of each message gives information about to which class a message belongs and
with which methods it is to be distributed.
Messages with process information in monitoring direction are distributed by means of an entry in the to-
pology. Messages with process information in control direction are distributed to their target that is deter-
mined by their CASDU and via interfaces that are defined in the topology. The CASDU is interpreted as
target address.

Representation of information by means of 2 different states or 2 discreet values (=digital)

Binäry signal
Electrical signal that is used for the transport of a binary process information; as well as the digital signal,
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

Peridocal control circuit check


The periodical control circuit check detects if the command circuits are ready to function correctly, without
activating the actuator.Control circuits are checked one by one, by activating all its relays, one by one,
thus closing the control circuit with high restistance.

Periodical datapoint
A periodical datapoint is used for the exchange of a process signal or a derived information between the
peripheral element and the higher-level open-/closed-loop control function.

Periodical information
A periodical information has a deterministic transmission behavior and is used for the exchange of a pro-
cess signal or a derived information between the peripheral element and the higher-level open-/closed-
loop control function.
A periodical information is always transmitted in groups and consequently with the transmission already
have a chronologically consistent interrelationship.

PRE
Protocol Element

Programmable logic controller


Digitally operating electronic system, designed for use in an industrial environment, which uses a pro-
grammable memory for the internal storage of user-oriented instructions for implementing specific func-
tions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic, to control, through digital or analog inputs
and outputs, various types of machines or processes. Both the PC (PLC) and its associated peripherals
are designed so that they can be easily integrated into an industrial control system and easily used in all
their intended functions (IEC 61131-1, chapter 2.50).

Protocol element
The protocol element is a supplementary system element for communication with other automation units
or control systems. It comunicates via the internal bus (ZBG-Bus) with the basic system element.

Selective dataflow routing


Routing of individual process information items. In simple applications the messages are distributed by
means of an entry in the topology. For more complex applications, the messages can be distributed selec-
tively by means of dataflow filters: for each communication interface, band-pass filters or blocking filters
can be set. Also wildcards can be used for all address attributes of the message, to direct the dataflow
very specific.

Spontaneous datapoint
Binary information that is transmitted upon change spontaneously in a message. It is always transmitted
individually, and usually has a time tag in order to be able to establish a chronologically consistent interre-
lationship afterwards.
With the current, voltage and counting pulse acquisition a spontaneous transmission of the information
takes place threshold value controlled (exception:class 2 data with dial-up traffic).

Spontaneous information object


A spontaneous information object that is transmitted upon change spontaneously in a message, and is
used for the exchange of a process signal or a derived information (including status) between the periph-
eral element and the particular automation unit, another automation unit or a control system.
A spontaneous information object is always transmitted individually and normally has a time stamp, in or-
der to be able to establish a chronologically consistent interrelationship later.
