Notes on Safety This manual does not constitute a complete catalog of all safety measures required for
operating the equipment (module, device) in question because special operating conditions
might require additional measures. However, it does contain notes that must be adhered to
for your own personal safety and to avoid damage to property. These notes are highlighted
with a warning triangle and different keywords indicating different degrees of danger:
Danger
means that death, severe injury, or substantial damage to property will occur if the
appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Warning
means that death, severe injury, or substantial damage to property can occur if the
appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Caution
means that minor injury or damage to property can occur if the appropriate safety measures
are not taken.
Note
is important information about the project, handling the product, or the part of the
documentation in question, to which special attention must be paid.
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
described in the Catalog and the Technical Description. If it is used together with third-party
devices and components, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens.
Correct and safe operation of the product requires adequate transportation, storage,
installation, 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 appropriate measures are not taken:
Before making any connections at all, ground the equipment at the PE terminal.
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
present in the equipment (capacitor storage).
Equipment with current transformer circuits must not be operated while open.
The limit values indicated in the manual or the operating instructions must not be
exceeded; that also applies to testing and commissioning.

1 System Overview
1.1 General
Overview SICAM plusTOOLS is a versatile and powerful system solution that will
assist you with configuration and parameterization of SICAM SAS
(SICAM Substation Automation System).
SICAM SAS is an open substation automation system of modular design
that combines specific telecontrol functions with the versatility of a PLC-
based automation system.
This system is based on SICAM Substation Controller SC, which builds
on the automation system SIMATIC M7.
SICAM plusTOOLS for SAS is based on the Microsoft Windows
operating system. Thus, as a user, you are dealing with a known system
environment. You can rely on the already familiar and convenient
functionality of Windows technology.
SICAM plusTOOLS allows you to proceed flexibly when configuring and

parameterizing a station, while at the same time providing consequent
user guidance.
G Plausibility checks allow only operations and combinations that are
permissible in the specific context.
G Permissible input variables are displayed in drop-down lists or scroll
boxes.
G The drag-and-drop function makes it easy to group, separate, or
move data.
G Copy functions on different levels optimize the configuration
procedure.
G Help texts which are organized according to topics explain the
configuration.
G Context-sensitive help texts explain the text boxes and the
permissible input variables.

1.2 The SICAM plusTOOLS Software Package
1.2 The SICAM plusTOOLS Software Package
The SICAM plusTOOLS configuration system is divided into individual,

function-specific applications.
SIMATIC Manager SIMATIC Manager is the platform of SICAM plusTOOLS. Using

SIMATIC Manager, you define and manage your project and call the
applications.
The project structure is created automatically during configuration. The
data areas are organized in separate containers. In the navigation pane
of the SIMATIC Manager, the project structure is displayed like the
Windows folder structure. Each container corresponds to a folder on the
respective level of the hierarchy.
HW Configuration The HW configuration (hardware configuration) application lets you

configure the modules of SICAM SC and their parameters. The
configuration is shown as a table on the screen. You can choose the
components from a Hardware Catalog and put them into the
hardware configuration window using drag-and-drop or by double-
clicking. The tab cards for parameterizing the modules are already filled
with default values, which you can alter.
In addition, you can configure and parameterize your bay devices with
PROFIBUS-DP interfaces and define the interfaces for connecting
substations.
COM IED The COM IED (Communication to Intelligent Electronic Devices)

application lets you configure the connection of bay devices in control
and monitoring direction.
The bay device that can be connected using protocols IEC60870-5-103,
PROFIBUS FMS, and DNP V3.00 are stored in a catalog.
The bay devices are imported from the catalog into COM IED with their
maximum information volume by drag-and-drop. You can then simply
reduce the volume of information.
You can also configure connection of your substations in the control
and monitoring directions in the COM IED. You can connect all
substations that can communicate with your SICAM SC using the
IEC 60870-5-101 protocol. These include not only the SICAM products
RTU, mini RTU, micro RTU, and SINAUT LSA, but also substations of
other manufactures and lower-level SICAM SCs. The substation
connections are inserted using the COM IED catalog.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
1 System Overview
COM TC The COM TC application manages all parameters relevant to information

exchange with higher-level control centers. The telegrams are configured
separately for the control and monitoring directions.
For the transmission of the telegrams in the monitoring direction, these
are assigned to priority-specific and type-specific lists. The list types are
provided in a Telecontrol List Catalog and are copied into COM TC by
drag-and-drop.
SIM The SIM application (SICAM Information Manager) manages the

SAS information items of the system and consists of the following:
G SIM Table
G MIM Table
G Station identification
SIM Table The SIM Table is used to configure the distribution of the
SAS information items within the system. To do that, you can specify the
source and target of the SAS information items or change automatically
preset values.
MIM Table The MIM table enables assignment of information items stored directly in
SICAM SC to SAS information items.
Station The station identification container contains all status information items
identification of the SICAM SC modules, the bay devices, and the communication links
of a station.
SIM Browser The SIM Browser is used to structure and organize the SAS information
items in user-specific hierarchies (folder structures). It also enables you
to create and manage SAS information items.
The other system components

G SICAM WinCC (human-machine interface),
G SICAM Recpro (fault recording evaluation) and
G SICAM CFC (automation tasks)
of the SICAM SAS substation automation system access the data
configured using SICAM plusTOOLS.
You can use data from SIPROTEC units that you have configured and
parameterized using DIGSI 4 directly in SICAM plusTOOLS.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
1.3 An overview of the hardware
System expansion The SICAM substation controller (SICAM SC) consists of a central rack
and up to 6 expansion racks for a maximum of 95 input/output modules
or 6 MCP assemblies.
Central With a maximum of 95 input/output modules, you can parameterize up to

information points 3040 central information points as:
G Single-point indication
G Fleeting indication
G Double-point indication
G Bit pattern indication
G Transformer tap indication
G Metered value capturing
G Measured value capturing
G Single command
G Double command
G Digital setpoint value
G Analog setpoint value
G Metered value restore (freeze) command
Distributed To connect bay devices and substations, you have the following options:
information points
G Up to 96 bay devices via a maximum of 4 PROFIBUS FMS interfaces
with CP modules
G Up to 96 bay devices / substations via a maximum of 4 MCP
assemblies
G Bay devices with PROFIBUS DP interface via an interface module of
the CPU module. The information volume of these devices is entered
linearly in the process image PII. The number of devices that can be
connected is therefore limited by the PII.
Overall, up to 10,000 distributed information points can be
parameterized.
Control centers Via 2 MCP assemblies, you can communicate with up to 3 higher-level
control centers.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
1 System Overview
Note:
Central and distributed information points can be combined in one
configuration. The number of possible information points is determined
by the expansion of the substation controller (central rack with maximum
6 expansion racks), the number and expansion of the configured
communication modules, the input/output modules, the size of the
process image, and the performance of the system.

2 Basic Operating Instructions
2.1 General
2.1.1 Functions
SICAM plusTOOLS is a software package for configuring and

parameterizing the SICAM SAS substation automation system.
SICAM plusTOOLS comprises SIMATIC Manager and the applications:
G Hardware Configuration for configuring the hardware of SICAM SC
and the bay devices with PROFIBUS DP interface
G COM IED, for configuring bay device connections
G SIM, for information routing and distribution
G MIM, for managing the information of SICAM SC
G COM TC, for configuring the control center connections
G CFC, for configuring automation functions
SICAM plusTOOLS supports and monitors the inputs of the user by

consequent user guidance and numerous plausibility checks. These
include:
G Context menus for switching quickly between the different levels of
control.
G Immediate check of the range of values and of the data type during
input.
The permissible values appear in a selection box from where they are
transferred.
G Dialog monitoring
The data of a project can be called from several applications
simultaneously. However, SICAM plusTOOLS only ever grants write
access to one application, all others being granted read access only.
That ensures that changes are made in a defined way in one
application. All other applications are automatically updated after the
changes have been saved.
G Consistency checks during compilation of the input data. Data that are
not plausible are highlighted in red. SAS information must be
interconnected with at least one system component (e.g. HMI, TCC,
CFC).
G Compatibility key for SICAM SC and SIPROTEC devices ensure that
the configured data are only executable on the associated hardware.
Otherwise fault indications are output during hardware startup and
startup is interrupted.
G Additional compatibility keys check data consistency between
SICAM plusTOOLS and SICAM WinCC.
In the case of data inconsistencies, fault indications are output during
startup of the SICAM WinCC System and startup is aborted.

3.3 Deinstallation
3.3 Deinstallation
The SICAM plusTOOLS installation routine recognizes if an older version

of a system component is already on your system and uninstalls it before
installing the current version. That ensures that uninstalling of individual
components is always carried out in the correct order.
For this reason, we recommend that you only install and uninstall
SICAM plusTOOLS components using the installation routine.
Note:
If you are using the parameterization system for DIGSI V4 protection
units in conjunction with SICAM plus TOOLS, you will need to uninstall
these components before installing a new version of SICAM plusTOOLS.
This ensures problem-free transfer of parameters between the two
components.
Optional products To uninstall any optional products, proceed as follows:

Insert the CD with the SICAM SAS components and call up
SETUP_.exe.
Select the components that you want to uninstall and click on the
Uninstall button.
Note:
Installation or deinstallation are performed in Standard Windows
functions. The deinstallation program does not remove any files you
created. Directories containing your own files might therefore remain
undeleted.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
3.4 Authorization
To use SICAM plusTOOLS for SAS, CFC, and STEP 7, you require
appropriate authorization on your computer, that is, usage rights. The
authorization with associated software are contained on the authorization
disks (installation counter = 1).
Before you can work with SICAM plusTOOLS for SAS, CFC, and
STEP 7 , you will need to transfer the authorizations from the
authorization disks to your computer.
Install the authorization by starting the authorization program
AUTHORSW.EXE using the Windows Start menu.
.
Caution:
For STEP 7 V5.1, the authorization must be installed on target drive C:
If C: is a compressed drive (for example, with DBLSPACE/DBLDRIVE),
select the associated host drive.
Please observe the notes in the README files on the authorization
diskette.
Directory C:\AX NF ZZ contains hidden files. These files and the
directory must never be deleted, moved, or copied. The files contain data
that is required for authorization of your software! If you do not observe
this warning, you might lose the authorization irretrievably.
The authorization diskette must not be write-protected. As the
authorization disk is used without write protection, there is a danger of
transferring a virus from a hard disk to the diskette. Therefore, before
installing or deinstalling an authorization, check your PG or PC for
viruses.
So as not to lose the authorization irretrievably, please observe the
following points:
When using an optimizing program (Scandisk/Defrag) that allows
fixed memory blocks to be move, you must only use this function if you
transfer the authorization back from the hard drive to the authorization
diskette before you use the function.
The authorization creates a cluster on the target drive that is marked
as defective. Do not try to restore this cluster.
Before formatting, compressing, or restoring your hard disk drive
or before installing a new operating system, deinstall the
authorization!

4.1 Overview
This chapter is intended to give you a basic idea of how to configure the
SICAM SAS substation automation system. This will be done by means
of an example, with very concise explanations.
When working with SICAM plusTOOLS for the first time, we recommend
you to stick to the order proposed here.
The open system architecture of SICAM plusTOOLS makes it possible
to proceed individually, permitting an almost any order of the individual
operating steps.
To highlight the logical structure, emphasis has purposely been placed
on the sequence of operations, that is, the default settings of the system
parameters are accepted wherever possible.
The following chapters provide details on how to change and set these
parameters.
Note:
Our example is based on configuring a SICAM substation automation
system, as depicted in chapter 1, picture 1-1.

4.5.3 Communication modules
MCP assembly During the hardware configuration of the communication modules of the
MCP assemblies, the communication interfaces with higher-level control
centers and bay devices are parameterized.
This specifies the transmission protocol and assigns the external
interfaces of the modules to the internal channels of the MCP
communications processor (see chapter 5.6).
An MCP assembly always consists of the MCP communications
processor and a maximum of four XC2 and/or XF6 expansion modules.
The MCP communications processor has an interface for external time
signal reception (DCF77 or GPS).
Note:
We recommend using the GPS receiver specified in the SICAM SAS/
RTU Planning and Design /15/.
It does not occupy any of the internal channels nor any external interface
of the MCP communications processor.
On the Time parameters tab card, under Using of SYNC input, select
the entry DCF77 for this GPS receiver.
When using another GPS receiver, COM1 and channel 6 of the MCP
communications processor are occupied by the system.
To avoid any conflicts during parameterization of the communication

interfaces, you should always stick to the following order when editing the
tab cards of an MCP assembly:
G Time parameters tab card
G Protocols tab card
G Ports tab card (for TCP/IP only, not used in the example)
G Basic parameters tab card

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
Parameterizing the In our example, the MCP1 assembly is used for communication with two
MCP assemblies higher-level control centers. Connection is implemented with dual-
channel redundancy with the IEC 60870-5-101 (COM TC) transmission
protocol.
The MCP assembly consists of the MCP communications processor and
the XC2 expansion module.
The MCP2 assembly is used to communicate with bay devices. It
consists of the MCP communications processor and two XF6 expansion
modules.
Bay devices with RS485 interface are connected to the COM1 and
COM2 serial interfaces of the MCP communications processor, bay
devices with fiber optic interfaces are connected to the COM1 to COM6
interfaces of the XF6 expansion modules.
IEC 60870-5-103 (COM IED) is chosen as the transmission protocol.

4.10 Information distribution within the system
The SICAM Information Manager manages all the SAS information.

The SIM Table serves to parameterize the distribution of the individual
items of information within the system.
This is how to define whether
G SAS information is to be implemented for communication with higher-
level control centers (TCCx column),
G SAS information is to be displayed (HMI column),
G SAS information is to be further processed by the SICAM message
management ( HMI1 List and HMI2 List columns) or
G Commands are to be triggered by the Human Machine Interface
(HMI1 List and HMI2 List columns).
In addition, define the source (or by commands, the target) of an item of
information, that is, by which application an item of information will be
created.
In our example, you have already created a group indication and
configured the CFC application as its source. This group indication is
created by a CFC block by a logic operation applied to single-point
indications.
Another function of the SIM Table is to assign process feedback
indications to commands. The assignment can be implemented by the
command (see chapter 4.10.1) or by the indication (see chapter 4.10.2).
Note:
SAS information for which distribution is not yet configured in the system
is highlighted in red. The color of the text changes to black as soon as a

Description /12/.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
5.4.2 Selecting hardware components
All the modules described in the SICAM SAS Technical Description /12/
are permitted with the maximum quantities of multiply pluggable modules
stated there. Each module is briefly described in the following sections.
Note:
Please observe the assembly rules for the modules as specified in:
G SICAM SAS Technical Description /12/ and
G SIMATIC S7/M7, Manual S7-400, M7-400 Programmable Logic
Controller Assembly, Module Data /2/.
Racks The Module rack (folder SIMATIC 400\Rack-400) must be equipped

with a C bus. You can choose between types UR1 with 18 slots and UR2
with 9 slots. Both can be used as a central rack or expansion rack.
A SICAM SC can be expanded with a maximum of 6 expansion racks.
The expansion racks can be connected to the central rack in series, in
parallel, or in a star.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
Interface The interface modules (SIMATIC 400 \ IM-400 folder) are used to
modules IM connect up to 6 expansion racks to the central rack. A send IM must be
plugged with a receive IM of the same type. The following types are
available:
G IM460-0 (transmitter) and IM461-0 (receiver) for a local link
G IM460-3 (transmitter) and IM461-3 (receiver) for a remote link
Both the send and the receive interface modules have two front
interfaces that are used to set up the connecting lines to the partner
modules. The following types of connection are possible for the individual
connecting lines:
G up to 4 expansion racks in series on one line
G each expansion rack through a separate send interface module
G a combination of these types.
Up to 6 send interface modules can be plugged into the central rack,
beginning with the last slot. The receive interface modules are plugged
into the last slot of each expansion rack.
Caution:
Pay attention to the overall connection length of the individual connecting
loops. That determines which interface modules are required:
G up to 3 m local link
G up to 120 m remote link
Power supply Two modules are available for the internal power supply PS
(SIMATIC 400\SICAM-400\PS-400 folder):
G PS DC 24-60 V
G PS UC 120-230 V
Each rack must be equipped with a power supply module of its own. It
must always be plugged into slot 1 and has a width of three slots, which
means that slots 2 and 3 are then no longer available.
CPU A SICAM SC cannot accommodate more than one CPU (SIMATIC 400
\ CPU-400 folder), which must be plugged into the central rack at the slot
in addition to the PS module. The CPU covers two slots.
The following CPU types are permissible:
G CPU 486-3 with Pentium 75
G CPU 488-3 with Pentium 120
IF964 To connect bay devices with PROFIBUS DP interface, you can insert an
interface module IF964 in one of the two submodule slots of the CPU.
The number of connectable bay devices depends on the information

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
volume of the individual devices because the information is processed

through the PII process image.
CP 443 In SICAM SC, you can insert up to four PROFIBUS FMS interface
modules CP 443-5 Basic. The module is one slot wide and can be
inserted into any slot in the central rack.
MCP assembly In the SICAM SAS substation automation system, communication of the
Substation Controller with higher-levelcontrol centers, bay controllers,
and substations is implemented with communication modules that form a
single hardware unit, the MCP assembly.
An MCP assembly always consists of the MCP communications
processor and XC2 and/or XF6 expansion modules, if necessary.
The MCP communications processor and the XC2 expansion module
each have two external interfaces that can be operated with telecontrol,
bay device, or substation protocol.
The XF6 expansion module has six optical fiber cable interfaces that can
be operated using the bay device protocol.
A maximum of 6 MCP assemblies can be inserted in a substation
controller. Using 4 MCP assemblies, you can connect a maximum of
96 bay devices, 2 further MCP assemblies are provided for dual-
channel communication with up to 3 control centers.
Choose between:
G MCP0: MCP communications processor, without expansion

modules.
G MCP1: MCP communications processor and
one XC2 or XF6 expansion module.
two XC2 or XF6 expansion modules.
three XC2 or XF6 expansion modules.
four XC2 or XF6 expansion modules.
You can combine the two expansion modules in one MCP assembly. An
MCP assembly occupies 1 to 5 slots.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4

SICAM standard In the SICAM SC, all standard SIMATIC modules that are listed in the
modules SIMATIC 400\SM-400 folder can be used.
Note:
For a description of the standard SIMATIC modules, please refer
to the following documents:
SIMATIC M7, Technical Overview: The S7-400 Programmable Controller
- Configuration and Application /3/ and
SIMATIC S7/M7, Manual S7-400, M7-400 Programmable Logic
Controller Assembly, Module Data /2/.
5.4.3 Parameterizing hardware components
Parameterization of the hardware components of the SICAM SC

determines the quantity and type of information that is automatically
created by the system. This information is called SAS information and is
stored in the system under a hierarchical name.
For standard SIMATIC modules and modules that are operated in
process image mode (standard S7 mode), you will have to create and
link the items of SAS information manually. The procedure for that is
explained in chapter 9 and chapter 10.
Message numbers
Note:
On insertion of the CPU and the associated creation of the M7 program,
a number range from 1 to 20000 is assigned for the configured
indications. At the beginning of configuration, this range can be changed
as follows:
Select the CPU, M7 Program in the navigation pane of
SIMATIC Manager and then select Special Object Properties,
Message numbers from the context menu and enter the new number
range.
As soon as a message number has been used during parameterization,
it will no longer be possible to change the number range!
However, should you subsequently need more indications after
configuration, for example, due to implementation of additional bay
devices, please contact our hotline. You will then be told how to extend
the number range.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
5.5 Parameterizing the CPU
5.5 Parameterizing the CPU
For complete parameterization of the CPU, the following tab cards are
provided:
G General
The MPI button lets you define external interfaces to a PC/PG or a
programming device or parameterize simple subnetworks.
G Startup
Defines the startup behavior of the SICAM SC on a cold and a warm
restart.
G Cycle / Clock Memory
Cyclic behavior of the CPU, such as cyclic updating of the process
image.
G Retentive Memory
Retentive memory ranges on power failure
G Protection
Access protection for certain data ranges
G Diagnostics/Clock
Defines the system diagnostics options, for example, displaying the
cause of a STOP.
Note:
Set the type of synchronization to As Slave on the Diagnosis/Clock tab
card because time synchronization of the SICAM SC is effected through
the MCP.
On the other tab cards, you can accept the default settings.
G Main memory
Main memory capacity of the CPU 16 Mbytes.

5.6 Parameterizing the MCP assembly
Complete parameterization of the MCP assembly is carried out on the

following tab cards:
G General
G Addresses
G Basic Parameters
G Protocols
G Time
G Ports
The parameterization procedure is determined to a large extent by the
functionality of the MCP communications processor.
The MCP communications processor has an interface for external time
signal reception (DCF77 or GPS). The chosen receiver can influence the
parameterization of the MCP assembly.
Note:
We recommend using the GPS receiver specified in the
SICAM SAS/RTU Planning and Design /15/.
It does not occupy any of the internal channels nor any external interface
of the MCP communications processor.
In the Time parameters tab card, under Use SYNC input, select the
entry DCF77 for this GPS receiver.
When using another GPS receiver, COM1 and channel 6 of the MCP
communications processor are occupied by the system.
Note:
When parameterizing the MCP assembly, please stick to the
following order:
G Time parameters tab card
G Protocols tab card
G Ports tab cards
G Basic Parameters tab card
This avoids conflicts during the parameterization of
the communication interfaces.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
5.6.1 Time Parameters tab card
The Time parameters tab card defines the parameters of the interface
for external time signal reception of the MCP communications processor.

to the outputs. Please observe that this assignment is always made in
groups of two and that you can assign a command type to even-
numbered outputs only
(0 is also an even number):
SC results in SC automatically being assigned to the odd-numbered
adjacent output as well.
DC results in FA (Functionally Assigned) being automatically
assigned to the odd-numbered adjacent output.
Disable unused outputs to reduce the number of SAS information
items.

Bay devices Use the COM IED application (Communication to Intelligent Electronic
Devices) of the SICAM plusTOOLS configuration system to integrate bay
devices with
G IEC 60870-5-103,
G PROFIBUS FMS
G DNP V3.00 (IED)
interfaces in the SICAM SAS substation automation system. To do that,
transfer the bay devices from a catalog and determine the functional
scope and information volume of the devices by parameterizing their
version numbers.
On SIPROTEC 4 units connected with PROFIBUS FMS, you will define
the scope of function and information with DIGSI 4 and import this
parameterization into SICAM plusTOOLS.
Bay devices with PROFIBUS DP interfaces are integrated and managed
in the hardware configuration (see chapter 5.8 and chapter 6.8).
Substations Substations can be connected to a SICAM SC that can communicate

with the SICAM SC using the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol. These include
not only the SICAM products RTU, mini RTU, micro RTU, and
SINAUT LSA, but also substations of other manufacturers and lower-
level SICAM SCs.
Substation connections are also inserted from the catalog and managed
in COM IED.

6.1 General
Freely definable If you want to integrate a bay device with the IEC 60870-5-103 or
devices DNP V3.00 protocol that is not contained in the catalog, you can insert a
Freely definable device for which you can then insert and link all
necessary information manually.
Proceed as follows:
Insert a device from the folder of the Catalog Bay
devices\Other devices\Third-party manufacturer (IEC 60870-5-
103) (see chapter 6.2).
Parameterize the device (see chapter 6.3).
Create all the required SAS information (analog chapter 6.8.2).
Bay devices with Bay devices with a PROFIBUS DP interface are not contained in the
PROFIBUS DP Catalog. These bay devices are inserted during hardware
interface configuration. Instructions on how to do that can be found in chapter 5.8
and chapter 6.8.
If you want to use a device that is not yet contained in the Hardware
Catalog you can extend the catalog. The procedure for this is explained
using the example of a SIMEAS Q.
With the measuring block of the device, you will receive a DSF (device-
specific file) file that contains all the properties for a DP slave. By
integrating the DSF file for SIMEAS Q, you can extend the hardware
catalog in the SIMATIC Manager by the PROFIBUS slave SIMEAS Q.

6.4 SIPROTEC 4 devices with a PROFIBUS FMS interface
The application-specific functional scope and information volume of the

SIPROTEC 4 devices with a PROFIBUS FMS interface are
parameterized using DIGSI 4.
SICAM plusTOOLS detects the parameterized volume of information of
these devices and manages the information in COM IED. For that
purpose, SICAM plusTOOLS and DIGSI 4 must be installed on a system.
Only parameterize the volume of information in DIGSI 4 that will really be
processed in SICAM plusTOOLS.
Paramater If you change the interface volume or information names of the

changes in DIGSI 4 SIPROTEC 4 unit in DIGSI 4 after you have accepted the data into
SICAM plusTOOLS, you will have to import the parameterization again.
If changes are made to the information volume of the device, it is also
advisable to update the data in the COM IED of SICAM plusTOOLS.
Increases in information volume are always made using DIGSI 4 and are
then transferred to SICAM plusTOOLS (object properties of the devices).
If you change the name of information in DIGSI 4, the names will also be
changed accordingly during data import into COM IED. However, the
hierarchical names are retained as these are also used in the variable
designations of SICAM WinCC.

6.7 Copying Bay Devices
When configuring and parameterizing bay devices, the main effort is

selecting the information actually required from the entire volume of
imported information and deleting the rest.
For that reason, parameterize sample bay devices that you can then
reproduce as often as you like by copying them.
When you copy a bay device, its parameterized information volume is
also transferred. The parameters for connection to the MCP assembly
must be adjusted explicitly.
Select a fully parameterized bay device from the COM IED and copy
the device using Copy in the context menu.
Select COM IED and insert the bay device into COM IED using Paste
The inserted copy will automatically receive a name extension.
Simultaneously, a new group with the same name is created in the
SIM Browser.
Insert all the copies you need and rename the bay devices by giving them
a unique, station-specific name.
Change the name of the device on opening COM IED. The name of
the group is updated automatically.
Open the Properties parameter sheet and then the Connections tab
card with Object Properties... in the context menu.
Enter the definite connection parameters for connection of the bay
device to an MCP assembly.
Close parameterization by choosing Station Save.
Quit parameterization of the bay devices by choosing Station Exit.

6.9 Substation connection
6.9.1 General
All substations can be connected to a SICAM SC and can communicate

with the SICAM SC with protocol IEC 60870-5-101 (COM IED). These
include not only SICAM productsRTU, micro RTU, and mini RTU but
also SINAUT LSA, stations of other manufacturers and lower-level
SICAM SC.
The substations are connected to the SICAM SC through the RS232
interfaces of the MCP assembly. During hardware configuration of the
SICAM SC, you can define which interfaces are to be used for that
purpose (see chapter 5.6).

To achieve optimum utilization of the transmission lines while taking

priorities into account, the information in the monitoring direction is
summarized in lists according to different criteria and transmitted with
selectable priorities and cycle times.
The different list types are listed in the Telecontrol List Catalog. Copy the
required lists into the Lists container and then assign each list its priority
and the relevant telegrams.
7.6.1 List types
The Telecontrol List Catalog contains the following list types:

G Scan list (SL)
G Initiation buffer list (IBL)
G Basic cycle list (Bcl)
G Telegram buffer list with time stamp (TBLwT)
G Telegram buffer list without time stamp (TBLwoT)
G Subordinate basic cycle list (Per)
G Counter-controlled list (ccl)
G Time-controlled list (tcl)
Basic cycle list The basic cycle list is used for the continuous transmission of the process
image. The telegrams are permanently transmitted according to
ascending address without a variation check.
There is only one basic cycle list. It is transmitted with minimum priority.
To guarantee that it is transmitted at least once, its priority can be raised
temporarily.
Subordinate basic The periodical list is subordinate to the basic cycle and only one of them
cycle list exists. The telegrams contained in it are transmitted permanently without
any variation check between two basic cycles, with a higher priority than
the basic cycle list. The periodical list mainly contains measured values
that only change slowly. The trigger for transmission is set by counters,
depending on the number of basic cycle telegrams sent.

E50417-H8976-C017-A4
Time-controlled list The time-controlled list is transmitted after a parameterizable cycle time
has expired. The list contains a parameterizable number of telegrams.
The trigger for transmission is set by the system clock.
Counter-controlled The counter-controlled list is transmitted after a user-defined number of

list sent telegrams. The telegrams from the counter-controlled list are
transmitted in ascending order of address. The trigger for transmission is
set by counters.
Scan list Selective interrogation of information concerning telegrams with at least

one common characteristic, for example, general interrogation of all non-
cyclic telegrams.
Initiation buffer list Transmission is performed in telegram image mode without a time
stamp. Spontaneous process changes are written into the transmission
image and the trigger for spontaneous transmission is set. However,
quick, repeated process changes can get lost. For that reason, this list
type is suitable only for persistent indications.
Telegram This procedure is used to enter spontaneous process changes in a

buffer list telegram buffer with a time stamp. When the parameterized number of
with time stamp telegrams is reached, they are spontaneously transmitted according to
the FIFO principle (first-in-first-out).
Telegrambuffer list This procedure is used to enter spontaneous process changes in a

without time stamp telegram buffer in the order they arrive. When the parameterized number
of telegrams is reached, they are spontaneously transmitted according to
the FIFO principle (first-in-first-out).
Note:
Telegrams must only be assigned to one telegram buffer list.

11 Downloading the Project Data to the Target System
11.1 Compiling data
Before the project data are downloaded to the target system, they must
be compiled into system data blocks that can be read internally.
Data compilation must be effected in the order stated below because
each compilation procedure is based on the previous one:
1. Compile and save in Hardware Configuration.
2. Compile for the target system in SICAM Information Manager.
3. Create system data blocks for PROFIBUS FMS interface.
4. Compile in CFC.
11.1.1 Compiling the Hardware Configuration
During compilation of the hardware configuration, the user-specific data

blocks of the hardware configuration of SICAM SC and the
parameterized information of the bay devices with PROFIBUS DP
interface are added to the system data blocks to be transmitted.
You should carry out this compilation as soon as you have completed the
configuration and parameterization of the SICAM SC in the
Hardware Configuration application of SIMATIC Manager:
Click on Station Save and Compile.
Compilation is logged in the SICAM Report.

summarized in a job list. The layout settings enable the station
documentation to be adjusted to your own company documentation
templates, for example, assignment plans, etc.
You will find exact details of how to proceed in the manual included in
delivery of DOCPRO.
The following gives a brief description of the basic options.
Note:
DOCPRO is not included in the scope of supply of SICAM plus TOOLS.
