Product Overview 1What is SICAM PAS?

SICAM PAS is designed as a modular system with open communication interfaces and therefore fulfils all the requirements of modern power system control systems and power supplies for industrial production facilities.

SICAM PAS UI - Configuration

The system component SICAM PAS UI - Configuration is responsible for

configuration and parameterization of your substation and for

exchange of configuration data.

In the various views, you can define the type and transmission modes of communication links and define which devices, substations, control centres, or HMI systems will be connected.

You can also select for each of the connected components, which information will be evaluated in the SICAM PAS Substation Unit and which information will be available for communication with higher-level control centres and for power system management with SICAM PAS CC.

A topological view allows you to structure your substation data, providing a representation of your substation's configuration.

Predefined device and project-specific device templates simplify and speed up configuration and parameterization of your substation.

Feature Enabler

SICAM PAS is an open, modular system whose components can be combined individually. With the Feature Enabler, you can activate the applications that you require in your project or on your computer. Applications include the different communication protocols, the HMI system, the CFC automation function, and OPC links.

SICAM PAS UI - Operation

SICAM PAS UI - Operation provides you with a quick overview of the runtime status of your substation components. It also lets you activate or deactivate individual components, e.g. interfaces or devices.


1 Product Overview

SICAM PAS Value Viewer

The SICAM PAS Value Viewer shows information items of the selected device or substation provided communication links are intact. This information display is used, for example, during commissioning to test data links and check whether an interface or device is really transmitting correct values. Command outputs can also be initiated for test purposes.

SICAM PAS automation modules

You can perform project-specific automation tasks in SICAM PAS by graphic interconnection of function modules or by defining the automation function as structured text.

For this purpose, an extensive library of function modules is provided, specially developed to solve your power automation problems.


Configuration 2Overview

This section explains basic procedures for working with SICAM PAS UI Configuration.

You will use this program to build a new substation configuration or to change your active substation configuration (e.g. adding new devices).

2.1 Opening a configuration manager

You can open the SICAM PAS UI - Configuration via the Windows start menu.

• Click SICAM > PAS > UI - Configuration.

SicamPAS01.tif

Fig. 2-1 Opening SICAM PAS UI - Configuration

The SICAM PAS configuration manager opens and shows your substation configuration.

Note:

If you open SICAM PAS after an update, the existing project database will be converted. After conversion, it can no longer be processed with the previous version of SICAM PAS.


2.1 Opening a configuration manager

SicamPAS02.tif

Fig. 2-2 SICAM PAS configuration manager


2 Configuration

2.2 Basic operation

Four steps

The SICAM PAS configuration manager is divided into four views. These views are four steps you have to perform during station configuration:

Configuration The configuration tree arranges all components of your station configuration in a hierarchy. You will work in the configuration tree if you want to create new links or change transmission parameters for data links.

Mapping The mapping view is for choosing which values supplied by a device will be used and how these values will be passed on.

Topology This view maps the topology of your substation and assigns mapped values to individual levels of your station topology.

Templates The template view is for managing device descriptions and defining normalization methods. You access these components during configuration of your station.

Window layout

Each view contains a tree structure on the left showing you what you are working on.

The tree structure provides an overview and allows you to select objects to edit their parameters, or to inset further objects below them.

The right-hand half of the window shows the parameters and information items of an object you have selected in the tree structure.


2.2 Basic operation

SicamPAS04.tif

2.2.1 Changing work levels

To switch between work levels or view:

• Click the view you want to switch to on the view bar.

SicamPAS03.tif

Fig. 2-4 Switching between views on the view bar


2 Configuration

You can also switch between views using the context menu:

• Right-click on the device in the configuration tree and select Go to from the context menu.

SicamPAS03a.tif

Fig. 2-5 Switching views via the context menu

• Select the view you want to switch to in Go to.

• Confirm by clicking OK. The new View is shown.

When you switch views via the context menu, the focus is retained, i.e. the same object is selected in the new view as in the previous view.

Note:

If the view bar is not currently visible on your program user interface, you can display this using the View menu.

If you want to hide the view bar permanently, for example, for space reasons, you can use the View menu to switch between work levels or views.

The view bar can also be freely positioned as a separate window.


2.2 Basic operation

2.2.2 Adjusting the window layout

You can change the window layout, for example, to display an area as large as possible.

Window area broader/narrower

To display a window area broader/narrower, proceed as follows:

• Click a vertical separating line between two areas.

• Hold the left mouse button down.

• Drag the separating line right or left.

Hiding an area temporarily

If you only need part of the information normally displayed for a parameterization step, you can temporarily hide the information (windows) you do not require.

There are two ways of doing that:

• Unselect options in the View menu, e.g. Properties or Information.

The hidden window areas are shown as tab cards at the right edge of the window.

or

• Click the pin icon on the header of a window.

The hidden window area is shown as a tab card at the right-hand edge of the window and the pin icon is shown horizontally.

or

• Click the header of a window and drag it onto another window, e.g. the Information in the Command Direction window into the Information in the Monitoring Direction window.

During this operation, the window is shown as a grey border. After moving, the two windows are shown as tab cards at the lower edge of the window.

Restoring the standard view

To switch back to the standard view:

• Click View > Restore Standard

That undoes all temporary changes to the way information is displayed in a view.


2 Configuration

2.2.3 Displaying explanations

If parameter lists are displayed in the right-hand half of the window, explanations and input support are shown for these parameters.

To view explanation texts about individual parameters:

• Click a parameter designation or parameter value in the Properties window area.

Information (to the right of the parameter list) now shows an explanation of a parameter. The setting options and relationship with other parameters are displayed.

2.2 Basic operation

Error messages

If you have entered impermissible values in an input field, an error message will be displayed in the bottom right window concerned. This may, for example, indicate the permissible value range.

• Click the blue note text. This takes you to the parameter with the error, so you can correct it immediately.

SicamPAS12.tif

Fig. 2-10 Error messages


2 Configuration

2.3 Working with project databases

SICAM PAS stores the configuration data of your project in a relational database in the SICAM PAS installation directory (... \ Database \ pas.db).

This is the default project database that is loaded and displayed when you open SICAM PAS. Any change you make to the current station configuration is automatically stored in this database.

However, you can also manually archive and re-import a station configuration at any time. This can be used to make back-up copies of your station configuration (e.g. before you make changes) or to configure a station off-line before transferring it to another SICAM PAS system for unarchiving and final adjustment.

On the project database level you can perform the following in SICAM PAS:

Archiving a database

Unarchiving a database

Creating a new database

Archiving a database

Archiving of your database is performed in the configuration view. In all other views, the menu item is deactivated.

Proceed as follows:

• Select the Configuration view.

• Click File > Archive and select the directory where you want to store the back-up copy.

• Click Save.

The data is stored compressed in a *.ZIP file in the selected directory. It contains the *.DB, *.LOG files and the ARCHIVES subdirectory.

Warning:

During database archiving, all communication links are interrupted and automatically resumed afterwards. SICAM PAS UI - Operation is terminated.

Note:

Make a note of the directory, filename and information about the database version so you can access it again later, if necessary.


2.3 Working with project databases

Unarchiving a database

To unarchive, proceed as follows:

• Click File > Unarchive and select the directory in which the project database that you want to import again was archived.

• Click Open.

Some information that is stored in the copied configuration database will have to be adjusted for the new system (e.g. the IP addresses of a computer).

Warning:

During importing of an archived database, all communication links are interrupted and automatically resumed afterwards. SICAM PAS UI - Operation is terminated.

Warning:

Loading a stored project database overwrites the current project.

Therefore create a back-up copy of your current database before you import another project (File > Archive).

Note:

If you unarchive the previously archived project database after an update from SICAM PAS V5.0x, it is also converted.


2 Configuration

Creating a new database

You can only create a new project database on the Configuration view. In all other views, the menu item is deactivated.

• Click File > New, if you want to build a completely new station configuration.

Warning:

Please note that creating a new configuration overwrites your previously active project.

Create a back-up copy, otherwise all configuration settings of the active project will be irretrievably lost!

See “Archiving a database” on page 26


2.4 Importing / exporting


To support efficient configuration, SICAM PAS UI - Configuration allows you to exchange configuration data with other systems.

You can import a parameterization that has already been performed on another system as configuration files. Or you can export configurations from SICAM PAS and import them to another location to avoid having to make identical settings twice.

You can import or export these settings:

Device configuration files

Interface parameterizations

Mappings

Device templates

2.4.1 Device configuration files

You can import configuration data for a number of protocols.

This configuration data may have been created

with DIGSI, the configuration program for SIPROTEC devices,

with SICAM plusTOOLS,

with SICAM PAS UI - Configuration,

with SINAUT LSA Converter from the project data of a SINAUT LSA station or

with non-Siemens device configuration software

.

Depending on the configuration program, these import files contain the configuration data of one or more devices or substations that still have to be adapted to the requirements of SICAM PAS.

If you have worked on imported configuration data in the meantime in a suitable configuration program, you can update the data in SICAM PAS UI - Configuration. The previous and the new configuration data are synchronized.


2 Configuration

Importing preconfigured configuration data is possible for the following applications:

IEC 60870-5-101 Master The data interchange format is *.XML. The XML file is generated with SICAM plusTOOLS or SICAM PAS UI - Configuration and may contain configuration data for one or more devices or substations.

IEC 60870-5-103 Master The data interchange format is *.DBF. The DBF file is created with DIGSI and contains the configuration data for one device.

IEC 61850 Client The data interchange format is *.SCD. The SCD file is created with the DIGSI substation configuration tool or with a non-Siemens substation configuration tool. Importing is possible for several device configurations at once or just for a single device configuration. Some devices can also be imported in ICD format.

PROFIBUS FMS Master The data interchange format is *.XML. The XML file is created with DIGSI and contains the configuration data for one device.

SINAUT LSA The data interchange format is *.XML. The XML file is generated with the SINAUT LSA Converter from the configuration data of a SINAUT LSA station.



Importing device(s)

How to import one or more devices into your project:

• Click the interface in the configuration tree.

• Select Import from the context menu.

SicamPAS07.tif

Fig. 2-11 Importing the device configuration file

• Select the device configuration file in the file system in the Open window and click Open.

This import is possible on devices with protocols IEC 60870-5-101, IEC61850 (SCD files) and SINAUT LSA - ILSA.

If the import file contains several device configurations, the Import - Select Elements dialogue box is displayed. There you will find all devices that can be imported preselected.

• Unselect any devices (tick/checkmark) that you do not want to import into your station configuration.

• Click OK to start the import operation.

The import operation may take several minutes. You can observe how importing is progressing in the Reporter window.

Note:

For IEC 60870-5-103 devices, importing is only possible with SINAUT LSA conversion.


2 Configuration

Importing on creation of a device

In addition to the import function described above, you have the option of the PROFIBUS FMS, IEC 60870-5-103 and IEC 61850 (ICD file) protocols which creates a device in the configuration tree and imports the relevant configuration data.

• Create a device with Create > Device and select the import file containing the configuration data in the Insert - Device window instead of a device template.

Updating device(s)

The update procedure differs for

Import files containing configuration data of one device IEC 60870-5-103, PROFIBUS FMS, IEC 61850 (*.ICD) and

Import files containing configuration data of more than one device IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 61850 (*.SCD), and SINAUT LSA - ILSA.

How to update the configuration data of two or more devices:

• Right-click the Interface.

• Select Update.

SicamPAS21.tif

Fig. 2-12 Updating device configurations (selection)

Note:

When updating an IEC 61850 device, make sure you update with the SCD file that you really imported.



• Open the configuration file from which you want to update the devices. The updated devices are selected

• If necessary, unselect (deactivate) devices you do not want to update in the Update - Select Elements window and click OK.

The chosen device configurations are now overwritten with the information from the update file.

• Saving the export file in the file system.



2.4.3 Mappings

You can import and export mappings for individual devices. Mappings for interfaces (devices of an interface) can only be imported.

You can import/export mappings for the following interfaces or devices:

IEC 61850

PROFIBUS FMS

On importing devices for the IEC 61850 and PROFIBUS FMS protocol, all information items provided by the devices are imported completely. You will not normally have to use all information items. So you will have to make a selection of the available information. To avoid having to make this selection manually for each imported device, you can export the mappings for a typical selection. You can then apply this selection to other devcies using the import function.

This functionality also permits transmission of further parameters of information items (e.g. for IEC 61850 the parameter Name) to other devices.

Exported mappings can be used in the same or a different SICAM PAS project.

You can perform the following:

Exporting mapping information

2.6 Building and editing a configuration


When you open SICAM PAS, the currently active project database is loaded and displayed (configuration database in the SICAM PAS installation directory ... \ Database \ pas.db).

In the Configuration view, you can edit this configuration data. That way you can add new protocols and interfaces or edit the properties of individual parameters, for example.

Save the current project database so you can access it again later if necessary.

See “Working with project databases” on page 26

How to proceed

To build a station configuration with SICAM PAS, proceed as follows:

Defining a project

Inserting and managing systems

Selecting an application

Inserting an interface

Inserting a device / control centre

Inserting a list / group

2.6.1 Defining a project

Initially only the project level in the configuration tree is entered in a new SICAM PAS project.

This is the level on which you can identify a project, for example, by entering a name, short explanatory text and project ID, by which your project is known to the SICAM PAS CC HMI system.


2 Configuration

Entering project data

How to enter a parameter or change presets:

• Click a parameter designation or parameter value in the Properties window.

• Overwrite the parameter value.

SicamPAS10.tif

Fig. 2-25 General project parameter

Table 2-1 SICAM PAS Project: General parameters

Parameter name Explanation

Name Project name. This name appears in the configuration, mapping, and topology tree and is the filename suggested to you when you export the project database.

Description Explanatory text about the project (free text entry).

PAS ID The PAS-ID is for a PAS CC system that is connected to several SICAM PAS systems for unique identification of the SICAM PAS project in question.

Redundancy Whether the project is running on hardware with a redundant configuration.



2.6.2 Inserting and managing systems

SICAM PAS supports distributed station configurations.

A distributed SICAM PAS system runs on several computers. This type of station configuration has the following structure:

Full Server

A computer functions as a SICAM PAS server. This computer contains not only the applications but also the data distribution system (DSI server) and the relational database.

Device Interface Processors (DIPs)

All further computers in the configuration function as device interface processors (Device Interface Processors, DIPs).

The relational database of the SICAM PAS Full Server is accessed via the ODBC interface.

All applications on the DIP establish a link with the DSI server via TCP/IP.

A DIP can be used if large data volumes have to be processed, e.g. if numerous SIPROTEC4 devices have to be connected. It is possible to move the connection of devices to a DIP while implementing HMI functions on the full server.

Note:

The first system that you insert into a SICAM PAS project is automatically entered as the full server. Each further system is automatically entered as the Device Interface Processor (DIP). You cannot change these assignments.

If you do not want to build a distributed configuration, create only one system (full server) in your project.


2 Configuration

Inserting a system

How to insert a system:

• Click Create > System.

Your own PC is automatically inserted as the first system and as the full server.

Configuring a system

How to configure a system:

• Click the system in the configuration tree to display the system parameters in the Properties window.

SicamPAS11.tif

Fig. 2-26 System parameters for full server

• Click a parameter designation or a value to edit its parameter value.

• Overwrite the value or click the button to the right of the value ( ... ) to open a selection window.

• Apply your changes by pressing Return or then click another parameter.



Creating a distributed configuration

To create a distributed configuration, enter further systems in your station configuration:

• Click the project designation in the configuration tree.

• Click Create > System.

The Insert - Device Interface Processor (DIP) window opens.

SicamPAS12a.tif

You can only exit the insert dialogue box with OK when all parameters marked red have been replaced by valid entries.

Note:

If you are operating your SICAM PAS CC HMI system on a separate computer, this computer must be inserted into your system configuration as a DIP.


2 Configuration

Configurable system parameters

These parameters are automatically preset when the full server is created. However, you can change them again afterwards.

If you create a Device Interface Processor (DIP), you are prompted to adjust some of these system parameters immediately.

Table 2-2 System: General parameters


Name The system name can be freely assigned.

The name of your own PC, which you can change as required, is automatically entered as the name of the Full Server.

If your computer is integrated into an active network, the first two IP addresses of the network adapter are assigned automatically.

If another PC in the network is functioning as the full server, click the input field for the computer name and open the Browse for Computer window by clicking the button ( ... ). Select the required computer in the network. The computer name and the associated IP addresses are applied. Change the system name, if necessary.

The system suggests Device Interface Processor (DIP) as the name for a DIP. You can change this name, as you require, and/or browse for a computer in the network.

If you build a station configuration off-line, you can initially enter system names here as text. Make sure the name entered here is really the computer name in the network or correct it later on the target system.

Description Explanatory text about the inserted system (free text entry).

System resources System resources is the name given in SICAM PAS to all serial, modem and CP5613/14 ports or a computer in the substation. Network cards and addresses are managed separately.

System resources can be freely assigned. Click the input field and open the Manage system resources window by clicking the button ( ... ).There you can edit the resource list manually (Delete or Insert resources) or have the system resources of the current system displayed automatically (Search).If a remote computer is accessible at the same IP address (the first one) and has the same user rights as the computer on which the system is configured, its resources will also be found.

While no system resources are entered under System resources, you cannot insert interfaces for this system. This applies to serial, modem and CP5613/14 connections.



Type of system The system type is assigned automatically by SICAM PAS:The first system that you insert into a project always functions as the full server.

Each further system is automatically classed as the Device Interface Processor (DIP).

The system type cannot be changed.

IP address 1 First IP address of the system.The IP address is searched for by the system name (see Name)

If the computer is not integrated into an active network, 127.0.0.1 is entered as the default for the first IP address.

IP address 2 The IP address of the second network card in the system.

The system may also have a second network card that is used by interfaces of the station configuration.

Table 2-2 System: General parameters



2 Configuration

Manage system resources

The Manage system resources dialogue box supports you with finding and managing the ports available on the system for data links.

The following types of port can be found and managed here:

Com Port (for serial connection of devices)

Modem (for connecting devices via a dial-up link)

CP5613/14 (interface card for connecting Profibus devices)

SicamPAS13.gif

Fig. 2-28 Manage system resources dialogue box

Finding ports automatically

To find all ports of this system automatically:

• Click the Search button

Note:

Network connections (IP addresses) are not managed here.

Caution:

The ports available on a system can be automatically calculated in this way, if the computer name can be ascertained via the IP address of the system (DHCP client or via a host file).

If a remote computer is accessible at the same IP address (the first one) and has the same user rights as the computer on which the system is configured, its resources will also be found.



Inserting an interface manually

Use the option of inserting system interfaces manually, if this interface is not yet physically available. That may be the case, for example, if you configure a substation off-line for use on another system later.

• Click the Insert button to open a selection.

• Select the interface type in it.

• Enter the serial interface number of the new COM ports in the Insert System resources to which the modem will be connected.

• Also enter a name for modems.

• Confirm by clicking OK.

The new interface is inserted into the Manage system resources window.

Deleting an interface

You can remove from the system resource list interfaces of a system that are no longer used in your station configuration.

• Click the interface you want to delete in the Manage system resources window.

• Click the Delete button

The interface is removed from the list and is therefore no longer available for selection when creating data links.


2 Configuration

2.6.3 Selecting an application

First select the application you want to use for communication.

Note the distinction between two application variations of protocols by which you can communicate both with devices and with a control centre:

For serial or modem links:

Note:

You only have to enter each application in the configuration tree below an interface once. Depending on the application, you can use one or more interfaces.

The OPC Server and Diamond applications can only be inserted on a full server.


2 Configuration

Subsequent changes to the interface parameters are possible in Properties.

For details of all the available interface parameters, please refer to the application descriptions in the online help.

2.6.5 Inserting a device / control centre

Device

You can communicate with one or more devices via one interface. Depending on the application, you can insert individual devices at an interface making use of the device templates available in your SICAM PAS or you can import device configurations that you have prepared with DIGSI, SICAM plusTOOLS or a non-Siemens configuration tool. Then you will usually not have to make any further adjustments to parameters. Some protocols permit importing of several devices.

See “Importing device(s)” on page 31

How to insert a device:

• Click the interface at which you want to insert a device and select Device from the context menu.

Note:

The system only queries parameters if a unique assignment is not possible automatically.

The name of the Interface must be unique within an application.

SICAM PAS automatically assigns the next free COM port, CP5613 port, the next free modem or IP address to a new interface. This does not apply to the IEC 61650 protocol, where the IP address must always be assigned.

Check the automatically assigned port parameters automatically and change them, if necessary.

2.7.3 Mapping information items

Mapping involves specifying whether and where each item of information will be used. For example, you can select whether the information in the SICAM PAS CC HMI system will be displayed or logged or whether an information item will be passed on to other control centres.

You usually have to make these setting manually for the information items of devices and substations. If you have imported devices that already contain this mapping information, depending on the protocol, e.g. IEC 61850, this configuration step is not required.

Perform the following steps to route individual information items:

Using information items

Selecting normalization (optional)

Assigning information to a list or group (protocol-dependent)

Using information items

How to mark an information item that you want to use:

• Select the information item in the Use column (meaning used).

Fig. 2-46 Completing parameters

• Complete the parameterization or correct the incorrect entry (double-click the field and overwrite the value).

• Confirm by clicking Return.

If you exit the table window without having remedied all the errors indicated, a safety query asks if you want to continue with your corrections or discard your entries.

Note:

You can edit fields with a white background in the tables of the mapping view. For example, fields with a grey background come from the associated device templates or import file and cannot be edited.

Note:

Before you map information items to SICAM PAS CC, you should define the topological view of your substation in the topology. The assigned names are included in the variable names that are created for SICAM PAS CC. Therefore an abbreviation of the variable names in the information tables of the mapping view is not required.


2 Configuration

Assigning information to a list or group (protocol-dependent)

If you have created a list in the configuration view for a data link, you can assign a mapped information item to this list in the mapping view.

SicamPAS35.tif

Fig. 2-47 Assigning a mapped information item to a list

Note:

If you want to use the topology view of your station data for evaluation and administration of the fault recordings in SICAM Recpro, you must consider the following when mapping the bay devices that provide fault recordings:

Identify the process _OPR information item as “used” for each device.

In your topology view, route these information items to the level at which the information items of the device that are relevant to fault recording are located. In the topology view of SICAM Recpro, the information items are displayed up to the level at which the _OPR information item is located.

Note:

Information items that are included in a fault recording as marks (e.g. Dev. start or Device OFF), must always be defined as used (Use).



Selecting normalization (optional)

If you have defined normalization methods in the template view of the SICAM PAS configuration manager, you can assign these normalizations to individual information items in the mapping view.

How to assign a normalization method to an information item:

• Open the selection list of all available normalizations in the Normalization field.

• Select a method.

2.8 Defining a topology

In the topology edit view, you can topologically structure your station configuration and the origin of the acquired information items.

The names assigned are used in the information names of the HMI system (SICAM PAS CC variables).

How to proceed

This is done by performing the following steps:

Building a topological tree

Assigning information

2.8.1 Building a topological tree

The following objects are available to map your station configuration:

Station

Voltage Level

Bay

User-Defined Group

Note:

The context menu only ever offers objects that are relevant below the current level.



Inserting an object

How to structure the topological tree:

• Right-click the SICAM PAS project.

• Select the first object from the context menu (e.g. station).

SicamPAS50.tif

Fig. 2-49 Building a topological tree

• Insert a further topological level from the context menu into the tree structure.

Note:

If you have inserted an object in the wrong location, you can move it to the right position or delete it.

See “Administration of objects within a project.” on page 39


2 Configuration

2.8.2 Assigning information

After you have built the basic topological structure of your station configuration, you can assign mapped information items of your configuration to the levels and topological objects.

How to proceed

Proceed as follows to distribute mapped information items over the topological levels:

Optimizing a view

Assigning information items by drag and drop

Optimizing a view

The table initially contains all mapped information items of the SICAM PAS project (top level of the topological tree).

If you later map information items of further data links, you will initially find them at the project level of the topology view again.

SicamPAS52.tif

Fig. 2-50 Information in the topology view



The table shows:

the origin of the information (Technology (Source))

the name of the information item (Name)

the information type (Information Type)

whether this information item is passed on to a control centre (Control Center)

All the columns here have a grey background, i.e. you cannot change these values.

SICAM PAS UI - Configuration provides a number of ways of selecting specific information items in the topology view.

This is done in a similar way to sorting and filtering tables in the mapping view:

Sorting information





See “Optimizing a view” on page 61

Assigning information items by drag and drop

How to assign information items to a topological element:

• Click the first column (consecutive number) to select the row with this information item.

• Hold the Shift or Ctrl. key pressed and click further rows to extend the selection.

• Drag the selection to a topological object.

or

• Set a filter criterion, e.g. the name of the device.

• Click the first column (consecutive number) to select the row with this information item.

• Select Select All Rows from the context menu.

• Drag the selection to a topological object.


2 Configuration

SicamPAS53.tif

Fig. 2-51 Assigning information in the topology view

These information items are now removed from the project table and assigned to the object.

If you have assigned information items to the wrong level, this is how to undo the assignment:

• Select the information items in the table of the topological level.

• Drag them back onto the project level or drag the information items to the correct destination element.


2.9 Working with device templates


Device templates

A device template describes the information scope of a device in the monitoring and command direction. This includes not only the process information but also the status information of the device.

The scope of supply of SICAM PAS UI - Configuration contains a device template for each communication protocol.

You can take over the templates unchanged in the configuration of your station or adapt them to your requirements.

Device templates are also available as text files stored in the installation directory under ...\DeviceDescriptions.

The import function of SICAM PAS UI - Configuration is used to import these device templates or user-defined device templates.

The device templates should be created in UTF-8 or ANSI format because only these formats are supported by the import function without error. If possible, do not use special characters, such as accented letters, because this could cause problems.

To edit the device templates, use

Notepad and save in ANSI format or

Wordpad and save as a text document

How to proceed

The following editing options are available to you for device templates:

Displaying a device template


Processing information items

Deleting a device template

2.11 Using normalizations


In substations or industrial production plants, numerous different data acquisition units are often in use. That can be a problem because the different components and devices usually store and represent the data in very different ways.

Normalization methods convert this data into quantities that are comparable and can be further processed.

How to proceed

The data conversion concept of SICAM PAS involves two steps:

Defining normalization methods

Assignment of normalization methods

Defining normalization methods

Selecting a normalization conversion defines the type of conversion to be performed on a value.

SICAM PAS allows you to set up the following frequently required conversions:

Measured value filtering

Conversion for digital inputs/outputs

Linear transformation for analogue inputs/outputs (integer and floating-point number)

How to create a normalization method:

• Right-click the Normalizations entry in the template tree (below the device templates).

• Select Normalization to open the Insert - Normalization window.


2 Configuration

SicamPAS54.tif

Fig. 2-57 Insert - Normalization

• Define your new normalization method here.

Table 2-3 Normalization: General parameters


Name Unique name for the normalization method.

Description Short description of the new procedure (free text entry).

Input type Data type for which the normalization method is to apply:Analog (integer), analog (floating point), or digital

Conversion type Depending on the data type selected (input type) in the previous window, various conversion types are offered here.Digital: none -or- conversionAnalogue: none -or- scaling



Measured value filtering

In electrical transmission and distribution networks some value changes are so small that they are insignificant for operating purposes.

A measurement and logging system must be able to filter out such small changes but still log significant changes.

SICAM PAS implements measured value filtering with a normalization method. You can define a normalization method in SICAM PAS that filters measured values only or that combines measured value filtering with a mathematical conversion.

The Measured value filtering is defined in the Threshold Suppression parameter group.

Table 2-4 Normalization: Threshold Suppression


Setting a threshold filter Switches measured value filtering on (Yes) or off (No).

Threshold band Values in the range between the lower and the upper threshold value are not transmitted. Values outside the threshold value range are transmitted. The threshold value range is offset each time a value is transmitted so that the transmitted value is in the middle of the threshold value range.

Suppression interval [s] After the suppression interval has elapsed, a value is transmitted even if it is within the threshold value range. The suppression interval starts each time a value is transmitted.


2 Configuration

Example

Values in the grey range are not recorded because they are within the threshold band (e.g. 200). After the suppression interval (e.g. 60 seconds) has elapsed, a value is transmitted. A value outside the threshold band is always transmitted.

The position of the threshold value range and the suppression interval is adjusted each time a value is transmitted.

Messwertfilter.tif

Fig. 2-58 Measured value filtering (debouncing)



Conversion

Conversion of a digital input is necessary if the values provided by the device are required in a different form by processing systems.

A Conversion is defined in the Conversion parameter group. Enter the input/output values here. You can define up to four pairs of values.

The input fields of this parameter group are only active, if Digital was selected as the Input Type and Conversion as the Data Conversion Type.

Values originating from the device have the following meaning in SICAM PAS:

Table 2-5 Device values in SICAM PAS

SICAM PAS Double-point indication

Single-point indication

0 Intermediate position 00

1 OFF Cleared

2 ON Raised

3 Intermediate position 11

Note:

All possible input values must be defined with an output value. For a double-point indication, four pairs of values must therefore be defined; for a single-point indication, two.

Table 2-6 Examples of pairs of values

Example FAULT(DI)

Example of inversion (SI)

1st pair of values 0:3 1:2

2nd pair of values 1:1 2:1

3rd pair of values 2:2

4th pair of values 3:3


2 Configuration

In the example FAULT, SICAM PAS transmits all incoming intermediate positions with the intermediate position 11.

SicamPAS55.tif

Fig. 2-59 Example FAULT

In the example of inversion, an incoming value (single indication) is passed on after being inverted.

SicamPAS55.tif

Fig. 2-60 Example of inversion



Linear transformation

A Linear transformation is defined in the Scaling parameter group. Enter the Scaling and Base here.

value at the output = input x scaling + base.

The input fields of this parameter group are only active, if Analog (integer and floating-point number) was selected as the Input Type and Scaling and as the Data Conversion Type.

Assignment of normalization methods

A previously defined and named normalization method can be assigned to an information item as part of mapping.

How to assign a normalization method to an information item in the mapping view:

• Select one of the available normalization methods from the selection list in the Normalization field.

5 Human-Machine Interface

5.1 SICAM PAS CC

Overview The SICAM PAS CC human-machine interface (HMI) system is used to monitor and control your station.

Overview and station diagrams provide a user-friendily display of the functional and physical structure of your station equipment.

State changes of your process information items and of operator actions are logged chronologically in message lists, such as alarm and event lists.

You can intervene in the process from the station diagrams.

Station data, such as indications and measured values, can be logged and stored in freely definable archives.

Assigment of specific operator authorizations, the option of setting a bay and telecontrol block, various switching modes and consideration of switching authority round off the control and protection functionality.

Communication is performed via Ethernet (TCP/IP) using SICAM PAS.

To link SICAM PAS CC to SICAM PAS, you must:

Insert and parameterize a SICAM PAS CC application, an interface and a control centre object in the SICAM PAS project.

Map the information items for SICAM PAS CC.

Export the project data for SICAM PAS CC into SICAM PAS UI - Configuration.

Import the project data into SICAM PAS CC.

5.3 SICAM Recpro

5.3 SICAM Recpro

Overview SICAM Recpro is a software for processing fault recording archives. SICAM PAS generates a fault recording archive for each protocol used, updates it cyclically and makes it available to SICAM Recpro.

The fault recording archives are stored on the full server or DIP.

You will find further information on SICAM Recpro in the /7/ SICAM, Manual Fault Record Processing Utility SICAM PAS Recpro

You must make the following settings for fault recording evaluation in SICAM PAS UI - Configuration:

Set the correct network frequency. It cannot be changed in SICAM Recpro.

Enter the polling cycle.

Enter the directory in which you want to store the fault recordings.

Activate the fault recording query.

Map the OPR variable.

Map the information items.

The necessary settings depend on the protocol used. The settings listed above do not have to be made for every protocol.



Configuration In the Configuration view, you can make protocol-specific parameter settings for the interface and devices.

How to define the fault recording directory:

• In the configuration tree under IEC 60870-5-103 Master, select the interface.

Konfig_Baum1.tif

Fig. 5-9 SICAM PAS Configuration, fault recording directory

• Enter the path at which the fault recording archive will be stored for the Recpro Collector in the Fault Record Directory field under Properties.

A default subdirectory Archive is created as the fault recording directory under the installation path of SICAM PAS (e.g. ...\SICAM\PAS\Archive).


5.3 SICAM Recpro

How to configure the network frequency, e.g. for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol:

• In the configuration tree under IEC 60870-5-103 Master, select the device.

• Select the network frequency from the dropdown list under Properties.

Konfig_Baum.tif

Fig. 5-10 SICAM PAS Configuration

• Make a selection for Activation on device start. If the parameter is set to Yes, the fault recordings generated in the device will be fetched by SICAM PAS during runtime.



Mapping In this view, you select which information items will be used.

In addition to the analogue track, the fault recording also contains binary tracks (marks). These marks correlate with the alarm. The value of the alarm is used for the text for the marks. That is why it is important that all information items are activated in the Use column.

Rangierung.tif

5.3 SICAM Recpro

Topology You can convert the configuration view of your station (which is exclusively communication-oriented) into a station view with a project-specific structure in the topology view. This generates information levels, such as station, voltage level, bay and other structure levels that can be assigned a name of your choice.

You then simply distribute the configured and parameterized information items among these levels by drag and drop.

If you want to use the topology view of your station data for evaluation and administration of the fault recordings in SICAM Recpro, you must consider the following when mapping the devices that provide fault recordings:

Identify the process _OPR information item as used (Use) for each device.

In your topology view, route these information items to the level at which the information items of the device that are relevant to fault recording are located. In the topology view of SICAM Recpro, the information items are displayed up to the level at which the _OPR information item is located.

Topologie.tif

Fig. 5-12 SICAM PAS topology, example of information items of the SICAM PAS station



How to route the _OPR information of a device to the required level in the topological tree:

• Select the project level in the topological tree.

• Filter for _Opr in the Name column.

• Select the row of information (of a device) that you want to assign to this level.

• Drag the information item with the mouse to the required level (e.g. into group GR_1).

Topologie1.tif

The _OPR information item is assigned to the level GR_1.


5.3 SICAM Recpro

Operation On activation of a device (e.g. for IEC 60870-5-103), a fault recording archive is generated in the parameterized directory. The fault recordings of the device are transferred into this fault recording archive.

The fault recordings can then be evaluated with SICAM Recpro.

Operation

SINAUT LSA Converter 6Overview

SINAUT LSA Converter enables you to convert the project data of a SINAUT LSA station.

The result of convertion is an XML file and one or more TXT files. The TXT files are the device description files of the equipment configured in the SINAUT LSA station.

The XML file is imported into your SICAM PAS project. After import, all devices of the SINAUT LSA station are contained in the SICAM PAS project.

For large Param stations, the project data is stored in two files (Modul1.lsa and Modul2.lsa). On conversion, you only have to specify one of the two files; the other file is automatically also converted. The SINAUT LSA Converter generates a Modul.lsa file (download file) that contains all project data from this. The indices required for parameterization of the synchronization commands with the necessary parameters are written to a SYAP_xxx.txt file (xxx is the name of the download file).

Status and Control Information AOverview SICAM PAS provides status information and control information to the

systems, applications, interfaces and device links that can be used, for example, in SICAM PAS CC for visualization.

The status information items are used in the monitoring direction, the control information items in the control direction.

In the data management of SICAM PAS, there are five types of information items:

Control information items of a system, an application, an interface, a device

Status information items of a system, an application, an interface, a device

Control information items of the telecontrol/bay block of an interface, a device

Status information items of the telecontrol/bay block of an interface, a device

Switching authority information items

The status and control information are evaluated and set by SICAM PAS UI - Operation.

Contents A.1 Information items - system/application/interface/device 144

A.2 Information items - telecontrol/bay block 146

A.3 Information items - switching authority 148

A.4 Identification 150


A Status and Control Information

A.1 Information items - system/application/interface/device

A.1.1 Control information

The control information items present in the system have the name _Adm. They exist at every level in the SICAM PAS (systems, applications, interfaces and devices). They are used to define set states of the the level in question. The values can be defined as follows:

These control information items have info type ADMINC. They can be mapped to the HMI (e.g. SICAM PAS CC) or to a telecontrol interface as an information item in the control direction.

A.1.2 Status information items

The status information items present in the system have the name _Opr. They exist at every level in the SICAM PAS (systems, applications, interfaces and devices). They are used to display the current states at the time of consideration. The values have the following meanings:

These status information items have info type OPER. They can be mapped to the HMI (e.g. SICAM PAS CC) or to a telecontrol interface as an information item in the monitoring direction.

0 Target state STOPPED

1 Target state RUNNING

0 STOPPED

1 RUNNING


A.1 Information items - system/application/interface/device

From the combination of the information items _Adm and _Opr, various states are displayed in SICAM PAS UI - Operation:

Table A-1 Display in SICAM PAS UI - Operation

_Adm _Opr Meaning/display

0 0 STOPPED

1 0 PENDING UP (to be started)

1 1 RUNNING

0 1 PENDING DOWN (to be stopped)



A.2 Information items - telecontrol/bay block

A.2.1 Control information

The control information items for telecontrol/bay block present in the system have the name _BlkAdm. They exist for the interface and device levels in SICAM PAS. However, only the status information items of a device level of a master connection have an effect. They are used to define set states of the telecontrol/bay block of the devices. The values are bit patterns and have the following meanings:

These control information items have info type ADMINC.

hex 10000 Target state no block

hex 20000 Target state bay block

hex 30000 Target state telecontrol block

hex 40000 Target state telecontrol and bay block

Note:

The telecontrol block causes the structure value BlockState to be set to remote blocked, which is then evaluated by the remote terminal interface.

To bypass the telecontrol block channel-specifically, it is possible to enter the value hex 50000 in the control information item _BlkAdm and transmit it to the slave device. The result is transmission of the actual telecontrol-blocked value.

This can be done with the ValueViewer, automation, SICAM PAS, SICAM Diamond or the remote terminal interface.


A.2 Information items - telecontrol/bay block

A.2.2 Status information items

The status information items present in the system have the name _Blkopr. They exist for the interface and device levels in SICAM PAS. However, only the status information items of a device level of a master connection have an effect. They are used to signal the states of the telecontrol/bay block of the devices. The values are bit patterns and have the following meanings:

These status information items have info type OPER.

hex 10000 No block

hex 20000 Bay block active

hex 30000 Telecontrol block active

hex 40000 Telecontrol and bay block active



A.3 Information items - switching authority

The default location for the switching authority information item AuthorityValue in the topology is under SICAM PAS\FULL_SERVER\System Driver (Service)\System Driver\SyDsiSouDescDev because it is managed by the system driver. It is located both in the mapping of the monitoring direction and the command direction. It can be used to set and read out the switching authority.

The switching authority must be parameterized separately for each interface in the SICAM PAS UI - Configuration.

Explanation of row SICAM PAS CC1 in the table:

SICAM PAS CC1 has the switching authority if the switching authority Local 1 or Remote 1 is set in variable AuthorityValue. The same applies to the other rows.

Each interface informs the DSI server of the switching authority parameterized for it on start-up. On command output, the interface transmits the command to the DSI server. The DSI server compares the switching authority AuthorityValue currently set in the system with the switching authority parameterized for this application (bit-by-bit OR). If the comparison results in a value unequal zero, the command is forwarded; otherwise it is terminated with negative feedback.

The variable can be set via a remote terminal interface, a local HMI (e.g. SICAM PAS CC) or the ValueViewer.

Table A-2 Parameterization of switching authority

Application LOCAL REMOTE

1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5

SICAM PAS UI X X

SICAM PAS CC 1 X X

SICAM PAS CC 2 X X X

DNP 3.0 - LS X X

IEC 60870-5-104 - LS1 X X

IEC 60870-5-104 - LS2 X X


A.3 Information items - switching authority

Note:

If the control information items _Adm of the application level is not up to date, the system driver will not run (a SICAM PAS service). In SICAM PAS UI - Operation, this is identified by a black exclamation mark on a yellow background. This prevents the communication driver from starting.

If the control information items _Adm of the interface or device level are not up to date, the communication drivers are not running at all or not running correctly. In SICAM PAS UI - Operation, this is identified by a black exclamation mark on a yellow background.



A.4 Identification

In SICAM PAS UI - Configuration, the assignment to devices is identified by a preceding topological view.

In the mapping (status values), the preceding topology can be seen as SICAM PAS\computer_name\application\interface\device.

This means, for example, that an _Opr variable with the topology SICAM PAS\MyPC\DNP 3.0 Master\COM4 is assigned to the DNP interface COM4 of the PC MyPC.

This method can be applied to all status information items described above. If the topology changes, the new topology is also shown in the mapping.

In the ValueViewer, the technological address is always visible under ValuePath. (The technological address is derived from the configuration tree.)
