tion, and mounting as well as appropriate use and maintenance.
During operation of electrical equipment, it is unavoidable that certain parts of this equipment
will carry dangerous voltages. Severe injury or damage to property can occur if the appropri-
ate measures are not taken:
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 pre-
sent 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 exceed-
ed; that also applies to testing and commissioning.
Danger
Consider obligatory the safety rules for the accomplishment of works at electrical plants:
1. Switch off electricity all-pole and on all sides!
2. Ensure that electricity cannot be switched on again!
3. Double check that no electrical current is flowing!
4. Discharge, ground, short circuit!
5. Cover or otherwise isolate components that are still electrically active!

Contents
This chapter describes the structure of the system SICAM EMIC, how and where it may be in-
stalled, and how the wirings are to be accomplished.
SICAM EMIC is a telecontrol device with standardized communication interface and parame-
ter-settable functions for the processing of input and output signals.
The modules are mounted on a TS35 rail (DIN rail). The installation of the TS35 rail takes
place on a vertical wall in vertical or horizontal mounting position.
The positioning of the modules from left to right or from top to above takes place in the previ-
ously mentioned sequence.
Standard Arrangement
2-Line Arrangement
The electrical connection for the power supply and the TM bus is performed upon engaging,
whereby each module is individually exchangeable.
Warning
The TS35 rail on which the modules are attached must be grounded.
On the modules there are, depending on the type, up to 4 10-pole male connectors with re-
movable screw terminals. (Optionally spring-loaded- or crimp terminals can be used.)
With the screw terminal, as an option there exists the possibility of a mechanical connector
coding (refer to chapter 1.8.7, Terminal Coding).
These are located on the underside of the modules. They indicate examples of the external
circuitry of the modules.
By means of these two metal clips the modules are locked onto the TS-35-rail and also re-
moved.
The number and meaning of the displays on the front panel are, apart from the RY-LED, dif-
ferent on all modules. While the RY-LED always displays the functional readiness of the mod-
ule, the meaning of the other displays is to be taken from the respective description in chapter
2, Modules Connectors, Displays, Circuitry.
1.3 Installation
Due to the different circumstances with the local installation of the SICAM EMIC systems, this
document can not deal with details such as screw sizes, cable lengths and suchlike. There-
fore, only recommendations and minimum requirements are specified concerning consuma-
bles. The fitter himself must ensure that suitable materials and tools necessary for the installa-
tion are available.
For the installation of the modules a TS35 rail must be used that matches the European
standard EN 50 022. The orientation and position in which the TS35 rail is to be installed must
be determined locally.
Warning
By means of the connection TS35 rail - cabinet/rack a reliable grounding connection must be assured.
For the cabling, cable ducts are to be provided at both sides of the modules (60x80mm (WxD)
with Siemens standard design). The minimum distance from the terminal module to the cable
duct is 20 mm for cabling without lead labeling. If the leads are to be fitted with labeling bush-
es, the minimum distance is 30 mm.
The terminal modules are designed for the installation in a cabinet, rack or on the wall.
Standard Arrangement
The space requirement of a completely configured SICAM EMIC system (power supply, mas-
ter control unit, up to 8 I/O modules) in the length comes to 693 mm (without end clip and
plate mounting for the system designation).
The space requirement for the height depends on the size of the module (131 mm) and on the
size of the cable ducts used and their minimum distance to the modules.

SICAM EMIC systems may only be installed horizontally or vertically. The cabling of external
cables is also made significantly easier as a result.
Not permissible are installations on the ceiling (own weight) and on the floor (dust level).
horizontal installation
vertical installation
1.3.3.1 Handling
The modules can be installed on the TS35 rail and removed again by hand, without any tools.
For this, the locking clips on the top side of the module are pressed together , the module
coupled with the neighboring module by means of the guides at the corners of the housing
and positioned on the TS35 rail .
For the removal, the locking clips are again pressed together and the module withdrawn with
clips pressed together.
Warning
The connecting and withdrawal of modules is only permitted in a de-energized state. De-energized means
that the power supply to the power supply module, as well as the signal voltages to the respective
I/O module are switched off.
With voltages > 60 V the general safety rules must be considered obligatory.
1.3.3.2 Coupling
Modules that are adjacent to each other are mechanically connected with each other by
means of the guides at the corners of the housing.
It is correct, when with vertical installation position of the system, the Siemens logo on the
front panel can be read from left to right. With horizontal installation position of the system, it
must be possible to read the Siemens logo on the front panel from bottom to top.
1.3.3.3 Order
The first two modules are always the power supply module and the master control module. Af-
terwards the I/O modules are installed.
Caution
With the last module, to protect the bus a protective cap must be snapped on. Such a protective cap is
included in the package of every power supply module as standard.
In addition, with vertical installation an end clip is also to be fitted. This prevents the modules from shifting
due to their own weight..
Bus terminator and end clip can be ordered separately (you find the indication thereto in the
SICAM EMIC System Description, Appendix "Order Information", "Accessories").
Note
Please consider the indications in the SICAM CMIC System Description, chapter System Overview,
section Architecture | I/O Modules | External I/O Modules | Configuration Notes.
SICAM EMIC provides 3 different communication interfaces to external data transmission fa-
cilities:
This section shows, how the various methods of communication can be realized by means of
data transmission facilities.
Depending on the communication type, different connection cables are required for the con-
nection of a data transmission facility on the master control module.
Note
Communication cables are, if possible, to be installed separately from the supply and peripheral cables.
V.24/V.28 (X1)
Note
Consider the power consumption of the modem when using this configuration (power supply of CE-070x
via CP-6010).

figuration Automation Units and Automation Networks, appendix A; section "Electrical Con-
nection, Cable longer than 10 m".
1.5.1 Introduction
Cabinet-internal wiring is preferably carried out with plastic-insulated cables according to DIN
VDE 298 T4 2/89. Types: H05V-K (0,51 mm), H07V-K (1,52,5).
The construction of the peripheral connectors is designed for direct peripheral wiring. That
means, that the wiring can be carried out without the use of a routing terminal or other addi-
tional screw terminals.
For the wiring, cable ducts are to be provided at both sides of the modules (refer to section
1.3.2.1, Space Requirement).
Warning
The operations described in this manual presuppose a reliable grounding connection between
SICAM EMIC and cabinet or rack.
Warning
For modules that operate with voltages >60V (e.g.: DO-6212, DI-6101) care must be taken that manipula-
tion on the peripheral connectors may only be carried out in a de-energized state.
The reason for this is that when withdrawing the upper peripheral connector under voltage, the external
voltage can be conducted through the lower peripheral connector still connected. The pins of the upper
peripheral connector now freely accessible will now conduct the external voltage.
With wiring of measured values with single wires, the wires must be twisted.
1.6.1 Shielding
Basically the TM-modules are designed in such a way that no shielded cables are required.
Normally, shielded cables are strain-relieved directly after the cabinet/rack entry and then
grounded on a large-surface screening rail installed for this purpose. The terminal modules
themselves provide no possibility of shield clamping.
When installing SICAM EMIC, attention is to be paid that the cabinet or rack used features a
proper connection with protective earth and ground. That means, that all electrical conducting
parts must be connected large-surface and as short as possible with the existing grounding
system.
If these prerequisites are given, the connection of the device with ground takes place over the
connection of the TS35 rail with the cabinet spar. A reliable connection is achieved by using
screws with contact washers.
Note
The TS35 rail of a complete equipped System (PS+CP+8 I/O modules) must be screwed at least 4x on
metallic background. This background should be at least 40 cm wide. The usage of a mounting plate is
recommended.
For the supply of SICAM EMIC and of optional interface modules, a power supply module is
used.

Interface module CM-0819 8
*)
also as combination of these, however, only in conformity with the configura-
tions mentioned in manual SICAM RTUs Platforms, Configuration Automation
Units and Automation Networks
You can carry out the supply of a power supply module with single leads of the type H07V-K
(1.52.5) or a cable of the type LA-YY-0 (2 x 1.52.5) or H05VV-F 3G (1.52.5) respective-
ly.
For the fuse protection a miniature circuit breaker 2-pole 2 A characteristic C (standard type:
SIEMENS 5SY5 202-7) is recommended.
Note
You find recommended and tested power supply units (standard types) in the SICAM EMIC System De-
scription, Appendix "Order information", "Accessories".
Switching On
Before switching the system on, all components must be connected to a power supply.
Switching on takes place by connecting the voltage, commonly for example by switching on a
miniature circuit breaker. The system starts up automatically (Startup after power-up).
The entire system is operational (without error display), as soon as all available components
are supplied with power and all system elements have concluded the startup. This is also ap-
plicable analogously, if only parts of the system are switched off and switched on again.
You find further information in section 6.2, Checks and System Display.
Switching Off
The switching off of the system takes place by disconnecting the voltage on all components.
If the power is switched off only at the master control element, the lower-level components are
not operational.
Caution
Switching off the master control element during writing operations to the SD card (load firmware, load pa-
rameters) must be absolutely avoided, since the data on the SD card could be destroyed as a result.
1.8 Labelling
1.8.1 Introduction
This section shows how to label a SICAM EMIC system according to the standard. Following
labels are designed:
For the label plate with the region- and component number, the end clip with label mounting is
to be fitted before the power supply module.
R#255/K#255
Endhalter
Klemmleistenmarker
The plant and location designation normally takes place on the cabinet in which the system is
installed.
If required, the plant and location designation can also take place on a further end clip with la-
bel mounting. This is fitted before the label mounting with the region and component number.
R#255/K#255
Plant/Location
End bracket
Terminal strip marker
End clip and terminal strip marker carrier can be ordered separately (you find the indication
thereto in the SICAM EMIC System Description, Appendix "Order Information", "Accesso-
ries").
For the labeling of the modules with the operational equipment designation (OED) every mod-
ule is fitted with a PHOENIX label plate type: ZB8/27.
Standard labeling:
The zack strip can be ordered separately (you find the indication thereto in the SICAM EMIC
System Description, Appendix "Order Information", "Accessories").
The individual terminals are already labeled ex works. The numbering takes place consecu-
tively from 16 (on power supply module and master control module) or from 140 (on all
I/O modules).
This method of labeling can take place optionally in addition to the terminal labeling.
Thereby an adhesive label is labeled individual, and afterwards placed on the slanted surface
of the housing cover.
The adhesive labels can be ordered separately (you find the indication thereto in the
SICAM EMIC System Description, Appendix "Order Information", "Accessories").
In order to prevent terminal strips of the lower level of a module (terminal labeling: 110 and
3140) from being interchanged with those of the upper level of the same module (terminal
labeling: 1120 and 2130), terminals and male connectors are provided with a mechanical
coding.
A coding that prevents terminal strips of one module from being interchanged with those of
another module can be realized with this method of coding, but is however not carried out at
works.
Coding element and coding section can be ordered separately (you find the indication thereto
in the SICAM EMIC System Description, Appendix "Order Information", "Accessories").
SICAM EMIC uses a SD card (Secure Digital) to save parameter. It is located in the housing
of the master control module.
Note
The master control module is delivered without an SD card.
2. Insert the SD card as shown in the picture (the contacts of the SD card must look
towards the circuit board of the SD card holder).
3. Press the SD card by means of a suitable object (for instance ball-point pen) carefully
into the holder until it is engaged.
2. Press the SD card by means of a suitable object 1-2 mm into the holder. Now it is
disengaged and springs out a few millimeters form the holder. The SD card can be
removed now.

This chapter describes with which methods the system SICAM EMIC can be parameterized
and programmed, which tools are designed for that, and which differences thereby exist.
3.1.1 Differences
For the engineering via web browser no special knowledge of an engineering system is re-
quired, and also no licenses. The web user interface makes a very simple access to the pa-
rameter-seting of SICAM EMIC. The structure of the parameter blocks is basically identical
structured like in the SICAM TOOLBOX II (consistent data management).
The engineering via web browser is useful for simple applications. There are not all the func-
tions which offer the SICAM TOOLBOX II, available. Main difference is, that via the web
browser no process-technical parameterization of the master control element is possible. You
can find more details thereto section 3.7.2.6, Exceptions with Engineering via Web Browser.
You find an overview of the respective functions in the sections 4.1, Telecontrol and 5.1,
Telecontrol.
3.1.2 Interlocking
The writing access to a target system is exclusive. This means, changes of the parameteriza-
tion of a target system are only possible with that engineering tool, with which engineering
was begun for the first time.
If a target system has been parameterized via web browser, it is not possible to take over the
parameterization into the SICAM TOOLBOX II. All the online tools of the SICAM TOOLBOX II
(diagnosis, dataflow test, message simulation, etc.) can not be used.
If a target system has been parameterized via the SICAM TOOLBOX II, there is only a read-
ing access possible via web browser (change of parameters not possible). The online func-
tions (diagnosis, process display) can be used in this case.
The TOOLBOX II (as of Version 4.10.0002) is available on DVD ROM and consists of the fol-
lowing toolsets:
EM II
Engineering Manager (base package)
PSR II
Engineering und Maintenance Computer
OPMII
Object-Oriented Process Data Manager
CAEx plus
Tool for the creation of an application program as function diagram (FUD), structured text
(ST), sequential function chart (SF)
Alternatively to the use of CAEx plus an existing and compatible instruction list (IL) can be
stored in the TOOLBOX II
The toolsets are also available as Light version. With this version, the engineering is limited
to maximal 100 system elements and 2000 data points.
The toolsets are available individually. You find information and updates for the individual
toolsets, as well as numerous licences, in PRISMA.
You find detailed information on installation and accomplishment of updates in the booklet of
the TOOLBOX II CD.
3.2.1.1 Prerequisites
Prerequisite for the operation of the SICAM TOOLBOX II is the usage of an appropriate PC,
that must fulfill certain hardware requirements, depending on the license package you pur-
chased.
Information thereto resides in the permanently updated List of PC preference types (PC Products
Preference List). Should that be not at your disposal, please consult your contact person at
Siemens.

SICAM EMIC
The modular system SICAM EMIC consists of system elements, that are designed for specific
functions:
For the implementation of the respective functions, special firmwares are provided. The func-
tionality of each system element is adjustable by means of parameters.
As a partner of Siemens you are able to download all the current firmware revisions for your
system via PRISMA (Produktstruktur).
Examples:
The respective binary file contains the firmware code for the relevant system element (for en-
gineering via web browser).
The respective TB II update contains the firmware code for the relevant system element, as
well as the master data for the SICAM TOOLBOX II (in case of use).
In order that the corresponding system elements work and can be parameterized, the respec-
tive
How to load firmwares into a target system depends on the used engineering tool:
SICAM TOOLBOX II: section 4.1.4, Import Firmware and 6.5.1, SICAM TOOLBOX II
Web browser: section 3.7.2.3, Loading Firmware, 5.1.3, Loading Firmware and 6.5.2, Web
Browser
3.4 SD Card
For the storage of engineering data SICAM EMIC needs the following SD card. This is insert-
ed in the slot at the housing front.
With usage of another suitable SD card, please consider the instruction in section 6.4.4, Re-
placement of the SD Card.
For archiving purposes, the engineering data and firmwares stored on the SD card can be
read with a standard commercial SD card reader/writer and be stored on a PC. On the other
hand, in particular for the initialization of a target system, the data can be written from a PC to
the SD card.
The driver software required for the use of the SD card reader/writer must be installed previ-
ously on the PC. Follow thereto the instructions of the manufacturer.
Note
The SD card must be formatted with the file system FAT16, default allocation size.
For the engineering and maintenance of SICAM EMIC the following interfaces are available:
Attention
With usage of the SICAM TOOLBOX II via the RS-232 interface, the external supply for modems must be
removed from connector X4, as far as the voltage at X4 is nominally 24 V.
For the transmission of engineering data to a system SICAM EMIC, the engineering PC must
be connected with the target system, and a suitable SD card must be equipped in the target
system.
PC and SICAM EMIC are connected with a null modem cable via the serial interface (DSUB9

SICAM EMIC
For the engineering of SICAM EMIC serves the SICAM TOOLBOX II installed on the engi-
neering PC.
Before you start with the engineering, the predefined configuration parameters of the
SICAM TOOLBOX II must be checked and changed, if necessary (see section 4.1.2, Presets).
The setting of parameters is only possible independent from the target system (offline).
Firmwares for the system elements and application programs must be previously imported in-
to the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
Engineering data maintained with the SICAM TOOLBOX II is stored in a data base on the
harddisk of the engineering PC. By means of loading processes, the engineering data can be
transferred from the harddisk of the engineering PC to a target system. Thereto the target sys-
tem must be connected with the engineering PC and switched on, and a SD card must be
equipped in the master control module of the target system.
The engineering data is stored during a load procedure on the SD card of the target system.
With startup of the target system, all new or changed data is transferred into the main
memory.
The single tools of the SICAM TOOLBOX II have a design oriented according to Microsoft
Windows . After successful installation they can be started from the Windows start menu
Start | All Programs | SICAM TOOLBOX II , or via the Toolbox shortcut on the desk-
top.
The tools most frequently needed (Load Parameters, CAEx plus, etc.) can be started also di-
rectly from the central engineering tool "OPM II".
The detailed instructions for the work with the tools of the SICAM TOOLBOX II reside in the
SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help and in the CAEx plus Online Help.
Note
The SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help can be started either directly via the start menu of your PC, or from
each single tool via the menu Help .
For the engineering of SICAM EMIC serves the web browser installed on the engineering PC,
and additionally the program WEBemic.
The web browser shows HTML sites provided by the integrated web server of the master con-
trol element. The parameterization is performed online in the target system.
By means of the web server the engineering data is maintained and stored on the SD card of
the master control element. Engineering data can be transferred also by means of loading
processes from the harddisk of the engineering PC to a target system and reversely.
Before you can parameterize a SICAM EMIC via web browser, you must
Download the firmware CPC30 (and if needed Firmwares for protocols and periphery) from
PRISMA and copy it into the root directory of an appropriate SD card.
If all the needed files are stored on the SD card, put the SD card into the master control mod-
ule of the de-energized target system, and then switch on the power supply.
Now the target system performs a startup, whereby all new or changed data is transferred into
the main memory. After termination of the startup the firmwares are active.
The loading of the single firmware CPC30 can take up to 10 minutes, multiple firmwares up to
30 minutes.
For the parameterization the target system must be connected with the engineering PC and
switched on. In the master control module of the target system a SD card must be equipped.
The adjustment of IP addresses is dependent on the selected physical connection (see 3.6.2,
Web Browser).
Click in the control panel of the engineering PC on Network connections , after that on
New Connection Wizard .
Create now a serial connection to another computer (in this case SICAM EMIC) via an availa-
ble COM interface of the engineering PC.
Click in the property dialog of the serial connection on the tab Networking , mark Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties .
Select OBTAIN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY and confirm with OK .
Confirm the connection settings with OK .
You find further information on logon to the target system and the belonging settings in chap-
ter 5, Engineering via Web Browser.
Click in the control panel of the engineering PC on Network connections , after that on
Local Network and Properties .
Mark in the property dialog Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties .
Select USE THE FOLLOWING IP ADDRESS and enter 172.16.0.4 and the subnet mask
255.0.0.0, and confirm with OK .
Confirm the network setings with OK .
You find further information on logon to the target system and the belonging settings in chap-
ter 5, Engineering via Web Browser.
Via a menu item of the program WEBemic the IP address can be changed online from each
point within a segment of the network (also via router).
The WEBemic splash screen is opened, and the WEBemic symbol appears in the notification
area of the taskbar.
Click OK to close the splash screen. Then click with the right mouse button on the
WEBemic symbol.
Note
The IP settings depend on the configuration and the used transmission media of your network. For the
setting of these values please contact your network administrator.
WEBemic creates now the ARP table on the engineering PC (assignment MAC address to IP
address). Afterwards WEBemic tries to reach the target system. If this is successful, the pa-
rameterized addresses are loaded into the target system. After that the settings are stored in
the target system.
The supplement NOK means that an error ocurred with writing the addresses. In this case
no communication between your PC and the target system is possible. Check the set network
addresses and the physical connection. If necessary, check the IP settings of your PC (start
Command Prompt, command ipconfig).
Note
The writing of the IP address with WEBemic is also possible locally via the serial interface.
You find further information on logon to the target system and the belonging settings in chap-
ter 5, Engineering via Web Browser.

a startup of the target system. In this case the informatory line appears:
However, arbitrary additional parameters can be changed, until all together are activated with
a startup.
The indication is maintained thereto also with change of the parameter setting menus. It dis-
appears only after the performance of a startup of the target system.
Settings of the hardware configuration require an immediate startup, in order that the corre-
sponding system elements are activated and become available for the system-technical pa-
rameterization. In this case a confirmation prompt from the website appears:
If the initial engineering has been performed with the SICAM TOOLBOX II, a static indication
appears in the header:
Like with parameterization via the SICAM TOOLBOX II for a multitude of parameters suppor-
tive explanation texts (tooltips) are available.
By dragging the mouse pointer on a parameter name the corresponding explanation text is
faded in, if it is present.
The tooltips are identical with the description of the Toolbox parameters.
The parameter records in the SICAM TOOLBOX II and in the web browser are basically iden-
tical structured. However, for the engineering via web browser some simplifications exist,
hence the following functions are not supported or implemented in another manner:
However, with usage of an application program, global system variables are supported to
access the contents of the sum diagnostics table (see A.1.3, System Errors.
System technique peripheral element (PE)
After the configuration of the PE the I/O modules must be configured in the OPM II. With
the engineering via web browser the I/O modules are configured automatically.
Process technique peripheral element (PE)
In contrast to the OPM II no images are applied, for each I/O module a configuration page
and a setting page exist.
In the configuration page the usage of the I/Os is defined (according to the assignment in
the SICAM TOOLBOX II).
In the setting page the previously configured I/Os are parameterized. There appear only
the parameters relevant for the defined usage.
The following general data points are not available:

4.1.1.1 Logon
With the initial start of a tool of the SICAM TOOLBOX II you must enter a user name and a
password. After that you are able to begin the paramerization.
A user change is possible with the tool "SICAM TOOLBOX II Presets" (menu Authorization
| Login ).
4.1.1.2 Logoff
A user logoff is possible with the tool "SICAM TOOLBOX II Presets" (menu Authorization |
Logout ). You can continue to operate tools that are still active, but the activation of tools re-
quires another login.
If all tools are quit without logout, the user will remain logged in unless a logout from the
Toolbox PC or Toolbox Server takes place.
As user type admin you can define a password for each newly added user.
4.1.2 Presets
Before you begin with the engineering of SICAM EMIC, several basic settings are to be car-
ried out for the work with the SICAM TOOLBOX II:
For the access to the SICAM TOOLBOX II a logon with username and password is required.
The parameterization with the SICAM TOOLBOX II happens exclusively offline. Only the
transfer of data (firmware, application data), as well as test and diagnosis are performed
online via a communication connection.
The parameterization with the SICAM TOOLBOX II happens exclusively offline. Only the
transfer of data (firmware, application data), as well as test and diagnosis are performed
online via a communication connection.
The globally valid configuration parameters in the SICAM TOOLBOX II are displayed and set
with the tool "SICAM TOOLBOX II Presets". They can - dependent on the access rights - be
changed at any optional time.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"SICAM TOOLBOX II Presets" and chapter "Administration of SICAM TOOLBOX II".
Type admin
Type profi
Type standard
As user type admin you can freely assign new user names (max. 8 characters). For each
user a special role (max. 20 characters) can be assigned.
For each role certain rights can be freely selected and assigned from a list. Depending on
which role a user has been assigned, he may control determined functions. An exception are
the unchangeable roles, that are reserved for the Siemens specialists for maintenance pur-
poses.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"SICAM TOOLBOX II Presets", section "User/Role Administration".
Note
All operation functions of SICAM EMIC described in this manual are generally applicable for the "Adminis-
trator" role available in the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
4.1.2.2 Password
The entrance into the SICAM TOOLBOX II is protected for each user by means of an individ-
ual password.
Note
The preset password must be changed after the first logon.
4.1.2.3 Language
Project technique
System technique
Process technique
The configuration data is in each case specifically parameterized for the different views.
With the initial creation of a plant you must enter the configuration data into the
SICAM TOOLBOX II with the tool "OPM II". The entry of the parameters is thereby supported
by "Wizards". The plant topology is determined based on the parameter setting of the configu-
ration data.
After the inialization, the administration of the plant configuration can be carried out with the
tool "Plant Management". With this tool the configuration data can be changed or deleted at
any time.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Plant Manage-
ment".
For the parameterization of a target system the system elements to be used must be
equipped, and the belonging firmwares must be present in the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
You can import the required firmwares - if not yet present - into the data base of the
SICAM TOOLBOX II with the tool "Master Data Update". You find the corresponding files in
Online Support Products (see section 3.3, Loadable Firmwares). You find further information
thereto in section 6.5.1.2, Importing Master Data into the SICAM TOOLBOX II.
The acquisition, parameter setting and documentation for the telecontrol function and its as-
sociated data points is enabled in the SICAM TOOLBOX II mainly with the help of the tool
OPM II (Object Orientated Process Data Manager).
The users guide of the OPM II can be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"OPM II".
The description of the system-technical and process-technical settings can be found in the
manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter
"Telecontrol".
Note
In the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help resides a video demonstration for the parameterization of
SICAM EMIC (section "System Technique", "SICAM RTUs", "SICAM EMIC").
Before the parameterization of the functionality, the target system must be configured with the
required system elements:
Note
The firmware codes of the corresponding system elements must exist in the target system.
You find an overview of the available system elements and I/O modules and their technical
specification in the SICAM EMIC System Description.
The configuration takes place with the tool "OPM II" via the menu items Tools |
Systemtechnik and Tools | Library Overview .
By dragging the system elements of the system SICAM EMIC from the Library Overview onto
the respective target system in the system technique, the corresponding system elements are
added with default parameters.
With use of I/O modules these must be dragged onto the virtual system element USIO36. After
that you can assign signals (hardware pins and software data points) to the respective
I/O modules.
When deleting an I/O module, all the assigned signals (hardware pins and software data
points) are then deleted from the plant tree.
Note
With the configuration of I/O modules consider also the notes in section 1.3.3, Installation and Removal of
Modules.
The changed hardware configuration must be converted with the tool "OPM II", menu
Destination systems | SICAM 1703 transformer , and subsequently transmitted to the
target system with the tool "Load parameters", to become effective.
During startup the target system checks if the mechanically installed I/O modules match the
parameterization.
Note
The configuration in the "OPM II" must match the mechanically installed I/O modules.
If you remove an I/O module mechanically, you must delete it also in the "OPM II". If you do not adapt the
configuration in the "OPM II", the target system detects this I/O module as failed (error indication).
If you add an I/O module mechanically without adapting the configuration in the "OPM II", this has no ef-
fects. In this case, the added I/O module is ignored.
The system-technical configuration of a target system resides in the window "System tech-
nique". This can be opened via the menu Tools | System technique .
The parameter setting is carried out in the menu tree, respectively below the selected basic
system element:
Common settings
Time management
Communication protocols
Network settings
Topology
Dataflow filter
Periphery
Decentralized archiving
4.1.5.2.1 Communication
The protocol is determined by configuring a protocol element suitable for the existing applica-
tion and its parameterization.
4.1.5.2.2 Periphery
The peripheral functions are defined by means of configuring the peripheral element, the
I/O modules suitable for the present application, as well as their parameters.
Below the level of the Ax peripheral bus the configured peripheral element with the configura-
ble signals is displayed:
Hardware pins
Software data points
By means of the context menu of a hardware pin/software data point, selection Edit image ,
you get directly to the process-technical settings of the respective signal.
4.1.5.3.1 Levels
The process-technical plant can be structured in freely-definable hierarchy levels. The follow-
ing graphic shows an example:
You find the instruction to create levels in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
OPM II, section Levels.
The process-technical settings of the system elements can be opened centrally via the menu
item Tools | Images .
4.1.5.3.2 Types
Types form the template for the structure of a process-technical plant. They serve for the sim-
plification with engineering of large quantities of objects, parameters and values.
Types of the following type categories can be defined below the levels:
User types
Link types
Info types
Parameter types
A type is defined respectively for objects, that have the same features (examples: feeder, cir-
cuit breaker, disconnector).
You find the instruction to define the different types in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help,
chapter OPM II, section Types.
4.1.5.3.3 Images
Images are real objects of the plant with parameters and signals (examples: feeder north, cir-
cuit breaker Q00, disconnector Q10).
Typified images
Typified images can be created from the defined types, that means, each images is as-
signed to a type. The assigned type defines thereby the structure for the image. The struc-
ture defines which linktypes include a signal and which parameter includes a link. This
structure can be changed only in the type of the belonging image. All images that are as-
signed to that type, adopt automatically the structure change (inheritance). The same be-
havior applies for default input.
The usage of typified images is the more efficient, the more identic images are present.
Typeless images
Typeless images do not have a reference to the types, that means, no inheritance takes
place. Typeless images are also created by structural changes of a typified image (since
the image does not have the same structure as the type).
Typeless images are advantageous, if images are only uniquely existing.
Below typless images, typified images can be used (example: voltage level 20 kV is
typeless since it is only uniquely existing, all feeders thereunder are typified images).
Link images
In the link images the parameters of the single target systems can be set.
The signals of the libraries include as first link a so-called common link (LNK_ADR). There
reside parameters (example: longtext, LAN station...) that include references to other
links of the same signal or are source of formulas.
A reference causes that upon changes of an entry in the common link the change takes
place automatically in the link of the specific target system. Message address
CASDU(1,2), IOA(1,2,3) and TI are generated automatically with filling of the 1703 link ad-
dress (Lk_Reg, Lk_Komp, Lk_BSE, Lk_ZSE, Lk_DP) by means of formulas and refer-
ences and do not have to be entered.
You find the instruction for the creation of images in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help,
chapter "OPM II", section "Images".
Addressing
Signal preprocessing
Signal postprocessing
You find the description of the parameters in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"Parameter Documentation".
You find the description of the technological processing of inputs and outputs of the process
periphery in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions Peripheral Elements According to
IEC 60870-5-101/104.
The assignment of a process signal to a hardware pin or software data point in the system
technique takes place by means of assignment (alternatively automatical or manual). You find
the instruction thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Parameter Documen-
tation", section Assign.
The Decentralized Archive serves for the archiving of events during a communication fault.
Here all the data points used in an automation unit can be acquired.
You can configure the archive in the system technique of the "OPM II" (parameter group De-
centralized archiving of the respective automation unit). In the images you can define
the process-technical settings of the data points to be acquired. During operation, these data
points are archived chronologically upon status change. This applies for all commands and bi-
nary information items of the send and receive direction.
You find the detailed information on the settings in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Func-
tions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "Telecontrol", section "Decentralized Ar-
chiving".
Before loading into the target system, the process-technical parameters of the plant must be
transformed. This can be carried out with the tool "OPM II" through selection of the menu
Destination systems | SICAM RTUs | SICAM RTUs Transformer .
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", section
"Transform and Load", "SICAM RTUs".
The tool "Data Distribution Center" enables the importing and exporting of parameters, as well
as the creation of backup files.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Data Distribution
Center".
4.1.8 Documentation
With the tool "OPM II" you can generate and print the documentation of the engineering data:
Hardware Configuration
Assembly Technique
Interface to Elcad
Telecontrol Function
System-technical configuration
Process-technical settings
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", section
"System Technique", section "Documentation".
You can initiate the documentation of the system elements in the plant tree of the menu
System technique , via the context menu of the automation unit.
With the tool "HW-FW Configuration" you can assign the required assembly-technical infor-
mation to the system elements.
You can initiate the documentation of the assembly-technical configuration in the plant tree of
the menu System technique , via the context menus of the I/O modules.
The output takes place as a table with adjustable layout, optionally as preview on the screen
or to a printer.
The documentation extends over the HW pins of the respective I/O module and contains:
For the coupling with the design tool ELCAD, it is possible to transfer images that are as-
signed to a system element via this defined interface.
The generation of the file takes place via selection of the menu Destination systems |
SICAM RTUs | SICAM RTUs Transformer.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", section
"Elcad".
You can initiate the documentation of the system-technical configuration in the menu
System technique , via the context menu of an automation unit or of a specific system ele-
ment.
The output takes place as a spreadsheet, optionally as preview on the screen or to a printer.
You can initiate the documentation of the process-technical settings in the tree of the menu

The output takes place as a spreadsheet, optionally as preview on the screen or to a printer.
For commissioning and test of the projected settings the following functions are available
(online):
For these functions the engineering PC must be connected with the target system (see 3.6.1,
SICAM TOOLBOX II).
The loading of the parameters of a process-technical plant from the PC into the target system
takes place with the tool "Load Parameters". You can launch it from the "OPM II" via the menu
Target systems | SICAM RTUs | Parameter loader , or directly via the start menu of
your PC.
With the tool "Parameter Loader" you can add and select automation units, and initiate the
loading via the menu Load | Selected AUs .
All settings that have been performed in the SICAM TOOLBOX II are thereby saved jointly on
the SD card of the target system:
Configuration parameters
System-technical parameters
Process-technical parameters (if they have been transformed previously)
Application program (if code has been generated previously)
After the loading of the parameters an automatic startup of the target system is performed. For
each selected automation unit a corresponding notification appears subsequently.
For the loading of the parameters there are different variants available:
Load intelligent
only the changed parameters are loaded into the target system
can be applied locally or remotely
Load unconditional
all parameters are loaded into the target system
can be applied locally or remotely
Initialize
all parameters are deleted in the target system, and all parameters newly transferred
can be applied only with the locally connected automation unit
is used for the first loading of an automation unit or of a basic system element
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Service Pro-
grams", section "Parameter Loader".
Caution
During a loading operation, the switching off of the master control element is to be absolutely avoided,
since the data on the SD card could be destroyed as a result.
With tool "Parameter Loader" you can check whether the parameter status in the destination
system is current. You can select an automation unit and start the comparison via the menu
Parameter | Comparison Aus <-> Toolbox ).
For each selected automation unit appears the indication whether the parameters are current
or not current.
For the examination of the parameterized automation units and their data flows, the following
test functions are available:

With the tool "Data Flow Test" data streams (flow of messages) can be simultaneously logged
and visualized. For a subsequent analysis - also at another location - a recording can take
place with the Interface Recorder.
The function Simultaneous log serves for the recording of messages within the internal da-
ta flow of an automation unit. In protocol elements, the data flow from and to other automation
units can also be acquired.
The following data can (with change of the spontaneous data) be simultaneously logged:
By means of triggering a General Interrogation all spontaneous input signals can be simulta-
neously logged at any arbitrary time.
You find the instruction for this test function in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"Service Programs, section "Data Flow Test".
You find further information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section "Data Flow Test".
With the tool "Message Simulation" messages can be transmitted from the
SICAM TOOLBOX II to automation units. Just one message or up to 100 messages in suc-
cession can be transmitted; in addition sequential delays and message repetitions can be de-
fined.
The messages can be passed in at defined points of the system. With this function the follow-
ing possibilities exist:
Setting of outputs
Simulation of the communication from and to protocol elements
Data traffic from and to the application program
Data traffic from and to special functions (for example set counters, set time)
Pay attention that due to the simulation the plant state can change.
Warning
The manual controlling of outputs with the plant running can lead to damage to persons and machines.
Ensure that aggregates in the control area of the command output and those subsequent aggregates in
the process chain are protected and that persons in the vicinity are warned.
You find the instruction for this test function in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"Service Programs, section "Message Simulation".
You find further information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section "Message Simulation".
With the tool "ST Emulation" there is an option to simulate the failure of the up to 8 possible
I/O modules (IOM) by means of a command exists for test purpose.
Note
The tool "ST Emulation" is a developer application and requires Administrator rights.

To activate an I/O module again, the write command with the corresponding bit = 1 must be
entered. Afterwards a startup oft he target system must be performed.
The current contents of DEAR can be displayed with the tool "OPM II".
Via the context menu of the automation unit, submenu Display decentral archiving , you
get to the file directory.
Then select a file and click on the button Display archives to display the respective rec-
ords.
Note
The data records of the decentral archive are registered in configurable files. The files are stored on the
SD card. The record of data points is therefore only possible with equipped SD card.
You can save the displayed records of DEAR in a file (Format .csv) on the engineering PC.
You find the information thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II",
section "System Technique", "General", "SICAM RTUs", "Decentral Archive Display".
4.2 Automation
For the implementation of freely definable open-/closed-loop control functions you can create
optionally an application program as function diagram (FUD).
The application program processes process information from the I/O modules connected to
the basic system element and/or from other system elements in the automation network of the
specific process-technical plant.
Task Meaning
Configure external signals Create images for spontaneous and periodical data points
Create function diagram Edit the application program
Simulate function diagram Offline test of the application program
Generate program code Compile application program
Load program code Transfer application program into the target system
Perform startup Initialize application program in the target system
Test function diagram Online test of the application program
Documentation Prepare application program for printing
For the creation of a function diagram the tool "CAEx plus" is required.
For the creation of a function diagram several exceptions must be paid attention to:
Type identifications
Since the type identifications supported by SICAM EMIC are restricted, a check is per-
formed during the creation of the FUD. Messages with not supported type identifications
can not be used in the FUD.
Non-volatile states
If messages or inputs/outputs of blocks are set to "retain" in the FUD, then a correspond-
ing warning is output upon the code generation.
CASDU
All the information which is produced in SICAM EMIC has the same CASDU in the mes-
sage address. Hence, for messages that originate in the FUD the same CASDU must be
assigned in the CAEx plus link. With "wrong" setting in the "OPM II" the IL code
generaration aborts with a corresponding error information. For input messages in the
FUD an arbitrary message address can be assigned.
Status bit "Class 1"
This is not supported by the FUD (priority management of the communication function).
Additional attributes
These are not supported by SICAM EMIC. Upon code generation these attributes are not
taken account of, and neither a warning nor an error will be output.
Periodical datapoints
SICAM EMIC does not support periodical links (1703 links with use in the FUD, no evalua-
tion oft he parameter use_caex_plus). With periodical use, the variables must be entered
directly in the FUD (system variables with predefined names). These system variables can
be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help in the datenpoint description oft he firm-
ware USIO36 (internal key 92128 up to 92255).
You find further information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Con-
trol Function".
The I/O's are integrated into the Function Diagram via the Signal List. Dependent from the
fact, whether the target system is engineered via the SICAM TOOLBOX II or via the web
browser, the Signal List can be alternatively
The signals of the process-technical plant can be used by "CAEx plus" after the transformation
(see section 4.1.6, Transform Parameters). The structure of the project tree automatically
adapts to the structure from the "OPM II".
An introduction how to create a project can be found in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter
"First Steps" and chapter "Additional Products", section "Signal List (Optional)".
The tool "CAEx plus" provides various editors and standard libraries for the creation of the
open-/closed-loop control function.
The process-technical functions of a plant are created with the function diagram editor (FBD
Editor). A function diagram is thereby created by the interconnection of
Example
You find the description of the editor in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Editors".
Additional information can be found in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"CAEx plus".
You find the most important characteristic values (limits) for the creation of the open-/closed-
loop control function in the SICAM EMIC System Description, chapter "Technical Specifica-
tions of the Modules", section "Master Control Modules".
You find the technical details for the processing of the open-/closed-loop control function and
its partial functions in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic System
Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function",
"Application Program","Function Diagram".
Before the loading of the open-/closed-loop control function into the target system, the pro-
gram code must be generared.
You can start the code generation via the CAEx plus Transformer or from "CAEx plus", via the
context menu of the basic system element (resource).
Via the menu Tools | Error-state viewer you can activate the notification display of the
code generation. There are recorded common notifications (as for instance information about
the occupied storage space for code and variables), as well as detected errors in detail.
The exact description of this tool resides in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Target Sys-
tem Connection", section "Functions for Target System Connection", section "Code Gene-
ration".
The code generation can be started independently from "CAEx plus" with the tool "OPM II"
through selection of the function Destination systems | CAEx plus | signal
list/generate code . Thereby a signal list is created for the processing of the parameterized
signals in the open-/closed-loop control function and read into "CAEx plus".
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", section
"Transform and Load", "CAEx plus".
4.2.2 Documentation
With the tool "CAEx plus" a cross reference list over the project hierarchy can be generated,
displayed on the screen, or printed.
You find the details thereto in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Basics", section "Default
Operating Elements", section "Commands of the Pop-Up Menus".
In the project hierarchy of the tool "CAEx plus", by selecting one of each level, by means of
pop-up menu the function Print can be executed. The print operation is started on the de-
fault printer of the PC.
You find the details thereto in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Basics", section "Default
Operating Elements", section "Commands of the Pop-Up Menus", section "Print in Project
Management".
Additional information can be found in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Basics", section
"Default Properties" as well as chapter "Lists and References", section "Designing Printouts
with DXF".
Further extensive possibilities for the documentation are provided by the optional function
Document Management (additional product for "CAEx plus").
You find the details thereto in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Additional Products", sec-
tion "Documents Management (optional)".
To load the program code (compiled FUD or IL) into the target system, the engineering PC
must be connected with the target system (see 3.6.1, SICAM TOOLBOX II).
The loading of the programm code into the target system takes place jointly with the parame-
ters set in the "OPM II". Thereto the tool "Parameter Loader" must be used (see also section
4.1.9.1, Loading Engineering Data).
All the open-/closed-loop control functions that have been performed in "CAEx plus" are there-
by stored on the SD card in the master control element.
The loading of the program code leads to an operational interruption of the target system. Af-
ter termination of the loading process, a startup of the target system is required.
Caution
During a loading operation, the switching off of the master control element is to be absolutely avoided,
since the data on the SD card could be destroyed as a result.
You find the technical description thereto in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions
System and Basic System Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Open-/Closed-Loop Con-
trol Function", "Loading of Application Program (Reload)".
You find the instruction for the operation in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"Service Programs", section "Parameter Loader".
Note
Instead of a function diagram an instruction list (ASCII format) can be imported in "CAEx plus".
The logic operations of a function diagram can be tested in "CAEx plus" with the Offline
simulation .
This function can be called via the context menu of the basic system element, program in-
stance or type instance. You can find the details thereto in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter
"Additional Products", section "Offline Simulation".
Oscilloscope functions serve for the chronological representation of analog values and binary
values during the Offline Simulation of the function diagram.
You find exact details thereto in the CAEx plus Online Help, chapter "Additional Products",
section "Logic Analysis with Oscilloscope Functions".
With the tool "CAEx plus", all open- and closed-loop technical tasks in processing elements of
the SICAM AK system can be tested online (selection of the basic system element, context
menu ONLINE Test).
Note
With user program running the simulated value of a variable is statically overwritten. In contrast to this, in-
puts/outputs are not statically overwritten, rather only with a change to their process image (edge-
triggered).
With user program stopped, simulated values are retained.
The technical description of the online test function can be found in the manual
SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "Automation",
section "Online Test".
The details for operation can be found in the TB II CAEx plus User Manual, chapter "Target-
System Connection", section "Functions for Target-System Connection".

The parameterization with the web browser happens exclusively online and presupposes that
the steps according to section 3.7.2.2, Initializing Target System are performed:
5.1.2.1 Logon
Start the web browser of your PC and enter the IP address of your target system into the ad-
dress field, and accept with the enter key.
The logon page of the target system is opened.
For the entrance into a target system a logon is required. Select thereto:
For the engineering of SICAM EMIC you must select the language and the user type on the
logon page.
By means of clicking on Logon you get to the start page of the adressed target system.
Thereby a session with the web server of the master control element is started.
As user type Administrator you can begin now with the parameter-setting.
Via the start page you can log off from the currently parameterized target system, but also
perform a manual startup. You can reach the start page also at any moment via the menu
Start .
5.1.2.2 Logoff
To quit a project click on the start page on the button LOGOUT and confirm with Yes .
In order that in case of an unintended abortion of a project (failure of the communication con-
nection, unintended closing of the web browser, etc.) the previously opened session is termi-
nated, the firmware of the master control element contains the following safety mechanisms:
Caution
If several users may access the same target system, the one that logs on as last obtains the access right.
The session of the predecessor is disconnected.
Note
All operation and test functions of SICAM EMIC described in this manual are generally applicable for the
unrestricted access right (Administrator).
The access to a target system (web server) can be protected by means of an individual pass-
word.
The preset password must be changed after the initial logon, in order to protect the engineer-
ing data against unauthorized access.
The password for the access to the web server can be changed in the menu Parameter |
CPC30 | Network settings | HTTP web server | HTTP web server .
To change the settings, the parameter HTTP web server must be set to enabled.
Note
With engineering via web browser the HTTP web server is system-internally fixed enabled.
After transfer of the entered values a new logon into the project is only possible with the cur-
rent password.
Note
In case of problems with passwords please contact the Siemens Support Center.
For the parameterization of communication protocols and peripheral signals the corresponding
firmwares must be in the main memory of the target system (see also section 6.5.2.1, Loading
Firmware Codes into the Target System).
Firmwares can be downloaded as binary file (file format .bin) from PRISMA and be stored on
the engineering PC.
Enter the name of the source path and source file either directly into the input line, or choose it
by means of the browse function.
By clicking on the button Browse the browse function is opened.
After the choice click on the button Open to accept the path statement and file name.
After that click on the button Start to load the choosen firmware code.
The target system begins with the load procedure. The duration of the load procedure de-
pends on the size of the firmware code and on the used communication connection.
Note
During the loading process the menu Upload/Download must not be left. The selection of another
webpage may lead to the occurrence of undefined states.
In addition to the master control element and the power supply, you can equip SICAM EMIC
with the following system elements:
You find the protocol elements and I/O modules supported by SICAM EMIC and their specifi-
cation in the SICAM EMIC System Description.
To be able to activate the previously loaded firmwares of system elements, these must be
configured in the parameterization.
Note
The selection contains only that system elements, whose firmware has been loaded already into the mas-
ter control element (with indication of the revision level).
Set Configuration
Select the desired system elements via the relevant pull-down menu.
If you want to save the set configuration (button Apply ), an automatic startup request takes
place.
After acknowledging with OK the master control element performs the startup. Thereby
the settings are stored on the SD card, and the configuration menus for the selected system
elements are built in the web browser. By clicking on Cancel the selected system ele-
ments are discarded.
You can equip up to 3 protocol elements. Thereto you must assign a protocol to the respective
protocol element (parameter PRE-0, PRE-1, PRE-2).
The hardware for a protocol element is integrated on the master control element, and does not
need to be mechanically equipped therefore.
After the startup the configured protocols appear in the menu Parameter | PRE<02>:
<protocol name> for the configuration. The parameterization takes place for each protocol.
The parameters of newly identified protocols are assigned with their default values.
You find more detailed information on the protocols in the manuals SICAM EMIC Protocol El-
ements and SICAM RTUs Common Functions Protocol Elements.
To be able to parameterize the process periphery, the peripheral element must be assigned
(parameter PE-0). This is only possible, if at least 1 I/O module has been connected to the
master control element of the target system.
Note
For the mechanical installation of I/O modules please consider the indications in the SICAM CMIC System
Description, chapter System Overview, section Architecture | I/O Modules | External I/O Modules |
Configuration Notes.
Single I/O modules need not to be selected. After the assignment of the peripheral elements a
startup is required, whereby the target system detects and "learns" the I/O modules connected
on the master control element.
After the startup the mechanically equipped I/O modules appear in the menu Parameter |
PE-0: USIO36 for the configuration. The parameterization takes place for each I/O module.
The parameters of newly identified modules are assigned with their default values.
Note
The learnt configuration is checked with each additional startup against the actually connected
I/O modules. With deviation SICAM EMIC notifies an error.
If the once learnt configuration is changed, pay attention to section 6.4.3, Removing or Changing
I/O Modules.
If the target system is integrated in an existing plant, these values should fit to the existing pa-
rameterization (conformable region and component number, same customer and plant desig-
nation).
The initial set values can be changed at any moment. To store the values click on the button
Apply .
The values become active after the next startup. After that, the new values for station, region
and component are displayed in the header.
5.1.6 Topology
In the menu Parameter | CPC30 | Topology is defined, via which interface which re-
mote stations are accessible, and which basical data flow direction is needed to these remote
stations (control direction, monitor direction or both directions).
For the parameterization of remote stations you can insert lines with the button
Append lines .
Example:
Multi-point traffic (end-end) with SICAM TM as master (region 10, component 55)
With the button Show columns the complete parameter block can be made visible. The
hidden parameters serve for special applications, they need not to be used in normal case.
The internal clock of SICAM EMIC serves for the time tagging of generated data (from the pe-
riphery and optional IL). The smallest resolution is 1 ms.
If date and time once have been set, they are displayed in the header of the user interface.
The update in the header does not happen permanently, but with each update of the web
browser.
Via the menu Parameter | CPC30 | Time mangement | Common Settings the
page for the setting of the time parameters is opened.
In this example the target system is time-set via the multi-point traffic master or via NTP serv-
er. After 1800 s without synchronization event the target system records an error in the diag-
nosis.
Via the menu Parameter | CPC30 | Time mangement | Daylight saving time you
get to the settings for the daylight saving time.
Here you can enable the daylight saving time and select the format for the setting of the day-
light saving time rule. In the submen Daylight saving time rule you can adjust the exact
data for the daylight saving time/normal time switchover.
Settings are stored by clicking on the button Apply and are active instantly after that (no
startup required).
Via the function LOCAL TIMESET you can adjust date and time of the target system also manual-
ly. This function is useful especially for the "stand-alone" operation.
With the clickbox REFRESH you can decide with which values date and time in the target sys-
tem are to be adjusted:
Checkmark set: the current values are read from the engineering PC and updated in the
input field permanently
Checkmark not set: the values can be entered manually
Via the corresponding pull-down menu you can choose between daylight saving time and
normal time. By clicking on the button Apply date and time are transferred to the target sys-
tem, and the status display is updated.
After an update of the web browser the date/time display in the header is updated.
The exact information for the time and synchronization reside in the manual SICAM RTUs
Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section
"Time Management".
Multi-point Traffic
The time is sent from a central station (time master) to SICAM EMIC. The time master must
synchronize at least each 60 s, in order that the minimum resolution of 10 ms is achieved.
With failure of the time synchronization the target system records a warning in the diagnosis
after 10 min.
Dial-upTraffic
The time is sent from a central station (time master) to SICAM EMIC. A synchronization can
happen only upon setup of a connection.
Ethernet
With communication according to IEC 60870-5-104 the time can be synchronized via SNTP
(Simple Network Time Protocol). To achieve that, you can enter the IP address of up to
4 SNTP servers, as well as the cycle time of the SNTP synchronization. The settings thereto
reside in the menu Parameter | CPC30 | Netwerk settings | NTP time
synchronization client .
With time synchronization via NTP server the current NTP server is determined by "voting".
This takes place according to the following weighting:
Attainability
Stand-alone (SNTP server does not receive a time)
Distance (with regard to the time)
A voting is performed after each 3-fold cycle time (parameter NTP cycle time). The mini-
mum voting time is 1 hour. Upon failure of the time synchronization the target system records
a warning in the diagnosis. With time synchronization via another automation unit (without
NTP server) the warning is recorded after 10 minutes.
The occurance of a heavy fault can lead to an undefined state in the processing of the firm-
ware on the master control element. Normally the target system stops thereby the firmware
and records an error in the diagnosis.
You can change this behavior in the menu Parameter | CPC30 | BSE common
settings (parameter Failure behavior ).
The setting Restart firmware means that the firmware of the target system performs an au-
tomatic startup in case of error. This might be advantageous upon a temporary error that dis-
appears by itself.
You find further information thereto in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System
and Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section "Operating States", "Firm-
ware Shut Down".
Here you can enter, amongst others, the values for Short Pulse Duration and Long
Pulse Duration. Depending on whether the target system receives a command with short or
with long command output time, the command is output with the duration adjusted here.
The address of the target system is set in the menu Parameter | CPC30 | AU common
settings | common address of the ASDU (CASDU) .
Here you can enter an unambigous station address in the system-technical plant. CASDU1
and CASDU2 result automatically in the CASDU upon storing. With that, the open-/closed-
loop control function generates its data points.
The IP addresses for your engineering PC and for your target system can be changed directly
via the web browser.
With engineering via a point-to-point connection you need not to change the preset addresses
(see 3.7.2.4, Set IP Address), since they are used only temporarily for the parameterization of
SICAM EMIC.
Note
After each change and transfer of the data, the target system can be accessed only by selection of the
newly set IP address.
If the access to the web server is no longer possible, check the IP settings of the engineering PC. In each
case the IP address of SICAM EMIC can be changed with the help of WEBemic (see section 3.7.2.4.3,
LAN/WAN Connection via Ethernet Interface).
You find the settings in the menu Parameter | CPC30 | Network settings | IP
address .
The stored IP-Addresses are active only with a startup of the target system.
Note
The IP settings depend on the configuration and the used transmission media of your network. For the
setting of these values please contact your network administrator.
You find the settings thereto in the menu Parameter | CPC30 | Network settings |
http web server | Parametrize via serial (PPP/TCP/IP) .
The Own IP address is assigned to the web server of the target system, the Remote IP
address is assigned to the engineering PC, if this is configured to obtain an IP address auto-
matically. Check thereto the network settings of your PC.
You find the common settings of the communication in the menu Parameter | CPC30 |
communication | Common settings .
These settings are independent on the communication type and exist individually for each pro-
tocol element:
The information objects supported by SICAM EMIC can be transmitted to the control center ei-
ther with time tag or without time tag. The definition happens selectively for each type identifi-
cation. You find the parameters thereto in the submen Transmission with/without time
tag .
For the communication with different systems the byte numbers of the identifiers in the mes-
sage header can be parameterized.
You find the information thereto in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, Appendix "Message Formats".
Settings on the protocol element (only with end-end traffic and multi-point traffic)
menu Parameter | PRE<03>: <protocol name> | advanced parameters |
IEC 60870-5-101 (byte number link address).
You find the information thereto in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions Protocol El-
ements, chapter "Multi-Point Traffic (UMP)", section "Communication according to
IEC 60870-5-101", "Data Acquisition by Polling (Station Interrogation)".
You find the information thereto in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, chapter "Telecontrol", section "Communication with other Automation
Units", section "Data Storage", "Behavior during a Communication Failure" and section "Priori-
ty Control".
SICAM EMIC can communicate simultaneously via up to 3 physical interfaces. For each con-
figured protocol element an interface must be assigned exclusively.
You find the assignment in the menu Parameter | PRE<02>: <protocol name> |
Common settings | Common settings of the respective protocol elements (parameter
Interface).
After the assignment of a physical interface you can choose a transmission facility usable for
the respective protocol element.
With the parameter Baud rate you can adapt the speed for the transmission to the central
station to the transmission facility.
After the choice store the settings by clicking on the button Apply . An automatic startup
request takes place.
You find the meaning and details to the protocol-specific settings in the manual SICAM RTUs
Ax 1703 Common Functions Protocol Elements.
On the protocol element ETT0 are namely up to 4 remote stations settable, however these are
managed as 1 station (QID/St# = 255).
All messages are distributed synchronously to all remote stations. When messages are re-
ceived, they only become invalid, if no more remote station is attainable (no regard to the ac-
tual source).
The firmware of the peripheral element provides the functions for the technological prepara-
tion of the inputs/outputs (signal preprocessing, signal postprocessing).
In SICAM EMIC maximum 8 I/O modules can be operated. The following types can be used:
Each I/O module is equipped with an individual number of physical inputs/outputs that serve
for the acquisition or for the output of electrical signals.
Corresponding to the equipped configuration of the I/O modules their names appear in the
menu tree. Via the menu Parameter | PE-0: USIO36 | IOM <07>: <module name> |
Configuration you get to the configuration page of an I/O module.
In the configuration page the connectable inputs/outputs of the hardware (pins) on the
I/O module can be defined as data points in the target system.
The assignment of the electrical signals to an I/O module takes place through the relative ter-
minal assignment.
Note
In totality you can define up to 500 data points (process images). Example: a signal is sent to 2 stations,
that corresponds to 2 data points, therefore 498 free data points remain.
Signal Types
Note
On an AI module currents and voltages can not be mixed.
On an DO module commands and binary information items can not be mixed.
Type Identifications
The description of the different type identifications (TI) resides in the manual SICAM RTUs
Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, Appendix "Message Formats".
Short Text
The short text (signal name) may be up to 20 characters long and must not contain umlauts. It
is used only in the web browser (process-technical setting, visualization).
Message Address
With the message address the data points of the communication and of the open-/closed-loop
control function are assigned. You find the exact details thereto in the manual SICAM RTUs
Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section
"Data Flow Control".
With an autoincrement function the message addresses can be adjusted easily in ascending
order.
Write 1 into the input field and click on the checkbox for IOA3.
Beginning from the first pin (uppermost line), now the following addresses are each increased
by 1. Thereby not assigned pins are counted, but not written.
If the first pin does not have an assignment, the error identification NaN is written into the fol-
lowing address fields. Values above 255 are not permissible and can not be stored.
Store the configuration by clicking on the button Apply . After the storage a startup is re-
quired, in order that the parameters become aktive. You can perform the startup also at a later
tim, for instance after the parameterization of the further I/O modules.
In the menu Parameter | PE-0: USIO36 | IOM <07>: <module name> | Settings

For the acquisition of single-point or double-point information items an appropriate digital input
module must be equipped, and the DI signals to use must be configured.
Example:
Power Monitoring
You can activate the power monitoring for digital inputs jeweils with the parameter
SVM_monitoring. The monitoring takes place by groups:
For the power monitoring 1 input for each group (IN D07 and IN D17) must be wired with the
protected sensor voltage. Thereby the number of process information items is reduced to
7 inputs for each group.
You find further information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions Peripheral Ele-
ments According to IEC 60870-5-101/104, chapters "Single-Point Information" and "Double-
Point Information", respectively in the section "Sensor Voltage Monitoring (Power Monitoring)".

For the acquisition of count pulses an appropriate digital input module must be equipped, and
the DI signals to be used must be configured.
Example:
Power Monitoring
(analog to Binary Information Acquisition)
Example:
For the acquisition of currents and voltages an appropriate analog input modul must be
equipped, and the AI signals to be used must be configured.
Example:
For the acquisition of temperatures an analog input module AI-6310 must be equipped, and
the AI signals to be used must be configured.
Example:
You find the instruction for the calibration process in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Func-
tions Peripheral Elements According to IEC 60870-5-101/104, chapter "Temperatures", sec-
tion "Acquisition".
Direct Measurement
In the configuration of the contacts for the module AI-6310 you can select between Tempera-
ture and Resistor.
With the resistance acquisition the preprocessing functions on the module (adaption, gradient
monitoring) are deactivated, in order to meet the process requirements concerning the re-
sponse time (for instance for the acquisition of transformer taps). The preprocessing functions
must be replicated in need in the open-/ closed-loop control function.
The direct measurement is supported for the module AI-6310 as of revision "-A".
If for a group temperature acquisition and resistance acquisition is parameterized, the acquisi-
tion happens with all preprocessing functions.
For the output of standard commands (OC) an appropriate digital output module must be
equipped, and the DO signals to be used must be configured.

This Function coordinates binary information and pulse commands that are acquired or output
on the I/O modules. You find the exact information thereto in the manual SICAM RTUs Com-
mon Functions Peripheral Elements According to IEC 60870-5-101/104, chapter "Return In-
formation to Pulse Command Assignment".
Parameterizable Assignment
The assignment of an information (DI signal) to a pulse command (DO signal) is adjustable at
the command through the 5-digit address of the return information (parameters RS_CASDU1,
RS_CASDU2, RS_OA1, RS_IOA2, RS_IOA3). If the parameters are not used (respective default
value 255), the target system utilizes the fixed assignment.
Fixed Assignment
If the equipped sequence of I/O modules is suitable, an information is assigned automatically
to a command (refer to the SICAM EMIC System Description, chapter System Overview,
section Architecture | Peripheral Element | I/O Modules | Rules for the Return Information
to Pulse Command Assignment). Otherwise no assignment takes place.
For the output of binary information a digital output module must be equipped, and the DO
signals to be used must be configured.
With the parameter Fail_behav you can determine the behavior of a binary information
output upon failure of the master control element. You find further information thereto in the
manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions Peripheral Elements According to IEC 60870-5-
101/104, chapter "Binary Information Output", section "Deactivation or Retention on Failure".
For the output of currents or Voltages an analog output module AO-6380 must be equipped,
and the AO signals to be used must be configured.
With the parameter Fail_behav you can determine the behavior of a binary information
output upon failure of the master control element. You find further information thereto in the
manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions Peripheral Elements According to IEC 60870-5-
101/104, chapter "Binary Information Output", section "Deactivation or Retention on Failure".
For commissioning and test of the set parameters the following functions are available:
The entire engineering data stored in a target system can be saved on the engineering PC
(backup). In that are contained
Telecontrol parameters
Instruction list (if present)
Firmware codes
With the function BACKUP DOWNLOAD (SICAM EMIC PC) you can transfer the engineering
data from the target system into a file (download).
Note
During the generation procedure the menu Upload/Download must not be left. The selection of another
webpage may lead to the occurrence of undefined states.
As soon as the generation is completed, a Hyperlink to the backup file appears. Click on it
with the right mouse button and select Save target as .
The preset file name results from the values of the AU configuration (can be renamed):
<Customer>_<Plant>_<Station>.emc. The file type .emc must be kept.
After confirmation with Save the backup file is transferred from the target system to the
selected target path.
Note
The file saved via the web browser can not be imported into the SICAM TOOLBOX II .
Engineering data stored in a file (backup) can be loaded from a data medium into a target sys-
tem (upload). The file must have been created previously with the function BACKUP DOWNLOAD
of any system SICAM EMIC.
With upload all telecontrol parameters, instruction list and firmware codes are stored jointly on
the SD card in the master control element.
Click on the button Browse for the selection of the source path and the source file.
The source file type must be .emc.
After the selection click on the button Open to apply the source file.
After that click on the button Start to load the parameters.
The file is now checked upon validity. If the data is valid, it is written on the SD card of the tar-
get system. Otherwise, an error information is displayed.
Note
During the generation procedure the menu Upload/Download must not be left. The selection of another
webpage may lead to the occurrence of undefined states.
Note
Backup files from the SICAM TOOLBOX II can not be integrated via the web browser.
For the duplication of an already existing parameterization, you can write the data also without
target system (offline) on a SD card with the program WEBemic .
Thereto a backup file created with the function BACKUP DOWNLOAD via the web browser must
exist (file type .emc). Further you need a SD card reader/writer connected on the engineering
PC, a corresponding driver installed on the PC (if needed), as well as a suitable SD card.
The WEBemic splash screen is opened, and the WEBemic symbol appears in the notification
area of the taskbar.
Select now the source directory and the parameter file and click on Open .
WEBemic generates the files with the format needed for the web server from the parameter file
and stores them on the SD card. The generation terminates with a notification.
The write procedure takes a few seconds (watch the Active-LED on the read/write device, as
far as present). When the write procedure is completed you can insert the SD card into the
(de-energized) target system. After switching on the power supply the target system performs
a startup.
After the startup you can logon to the target system via the web browser, for instance to adapt
the parameterization or to carry out test functions.
Note
With operation in a network first a valid IP address must be assigned by means of the program WEBemic.
Via the start menu you can initiate a startup of the target system at any time.
Caution
A startup has also consequences for the automation function (if used). You find more details in section
5.2.2, Commissioning and Test.
Depending on the size of the engineering data, the startup procedure can take a few minutes.
After the completed startup you can logon again via the appropriate hyperlink.
Status of Inputs/outputs
Forcing of outputs
With use of I/O modules the states of the configured data points (digital and anlog in-
puts/outputs) can be visualized.

Via the menu Diagnosis and submenu ST Emulation there is an option to simulate the
failure of the up to 8 possible I/O modules (IOM) by means of a command exists for test pur-
pose.
For the performance please follow the instructions in section 4.1.9.3.3, Simulation of Module
Failure.
5.2 Automation
For the accomplishment of freely definable open-/closed-loop control tasks you can create op-
tionally an application program as instruction list (IL).
Task Meaning
Create instruction list Edit the application program
Load program code Transfer instruction list from PC to target system
Load program code offline Write instruction list from PC to SD card
Save program code Transfer instruction list from target system nach PC
Delete program code Delete instruction list in the target system
Perform startup Initialize instruction list in the target system
Diagnosis Cycle time and memory requirement
Test functions Status of inputs/outputs
Simulation of outputs
The creation of an instruction list is only possible independently from the target system. For
the programming is an ASCII-Editor (for instance Microsoft Notepad ) required.
Example
The instruction list must be stored with the file name PLC_SRC.plc.
For loading the program code into the target system please follow the instruction in section
5.2.2.1, Loading Application Program.
You find the general specification of the programming language (IL) in the manual
SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "Automation",
section "Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function", "Application Program", "Instruction
List".
The structure of the application program consists of 3 parts (in the following sequence):
Startup (PLC_RESET)
The startup part is run through once after a startup. Here all variables can be initialized,
that are required directly after startup and before the current initial image.
Initialization (PLC_INIT)
The initialization part is run through once after a startup. Here all variables can be initial-
ized, that are required directly after the current initial image and before the execution of
the cycle part.
Cycle (PLC_START)
The cycle part is run through cyclically. Here, the open-/closed-loop control function is pro-
grammed.
Note
The system provides 1 task. The cycle time is definable by means of parameter PLC_CYCLETIME in the
IL. The value can be changed dependent on logic operation by the application program.
5.2.1.2.1 General
Each instruction command must be in one line. Each line must be concluded with a paragraph
break, line break or both (done automatically by the text editor).
Example:
Each operation produces a calculated value (result). The following operation can calculate fur-
ther with this result.
The format of an I/O variable must correspond with the respective input/output of the periph-
ery.
A command or setpoint value is assigned to an I/O variable by an ST operation and the ad-
dress of the operand. A state or value of an I/O variable is read by an LD operation and the
address of the operand.
I_030_001_000_000_TEST.VALUE
0_031_005_001_000.OFF
E_045_001_001_001_002_003_TEST.VALUE or
E_045_001_001_001_002_003.VALUE
The attribute of the I/O variable must be separated by a ".". An I/O variable without attribute is
not allowed.
Note
If the same IOA is used input- and output side, the freely definable Name must be different.
A flag is assigned by an ST operation and the address of the operand. The value of a flag is
written by an LD operation and the address of the operand.
The number format must be chosen according to the format of the value to be stored.
Example:
LD I_030_002_000_000.VALUE
ST M_BOOL_FLAG00
Note
At startup all flags which are not signed as "retain" are initialized with 0.
Functions have only temporary variables, therefore with each call all necessary call parame-
ters must be set. Not used call parameters do not affect the result on execution of the func-
tion.
Example: If an addition (ADD) of 3 values is performed, then the inputs IN0, IN1, IN2 are
used. The remaining inputs are automatically set to 0.
The writing of inputs of a function must always begin with IN0 and take place in ascending or-
der without gaps.
The name of the call parameter is produced from the name of the function and the name of
the parameter separated by a ".".
Example:
The results of the respective functions are written in the accumulator. In the example the value
is also stored on the flag M_DINT_RESULT.
After the call of a function (CAL) all inputs of the respective function are set to the default val-
ues again.
Example:
If a comparison of two values is performed, the output is set if the flag M_DINT_COMPARE is
written with 3 (the writing of the flag is not included here).
Function blocks do not have any temporary variables. Each new (derived) function block oc-
cupies a new memory in the RAM.
Respectively the first result of the function block is written in the accumulator. If a function
block has more than one result, then this can be accessed as with the parameter transfer.
Example:
LD 1
ST CTU_TEST.CU
ST CTU_TEST.R
LD 5
ST CTU_TEST.PV
CAL CTU_TEST
LD CTU_TEST.CV (*access to 2nd result*)
Comments in the application program can be set at any arbitrary place and must be included
between brackets and stars. The documentation can also extend over several lines.
Example:
With help of system variables the following parameters can be set for the program execution:
Cycle time
Spontaneous program execution
Data flow control
The cycle time determines the time interval for the execution of the application program. The
shorter the set interval is the smaller must be the application program, otherwise a timeout
happens. A cycle time of for instance 2 ms is only possible for a very small application pro-
gram.
The cycle time can be specified in the IL with the variable PLC_CYCLETIME:
Example:
PLC_RESET:
LD 20
ST PLC_CYCLETIME (*set cycle time 20 ms*)
If the cycle time is set to the value 0, no cyclic program execution takes place.
Under certain circumstances the cycle time can be changed independently by the system:
Note
Consider that the processing time of the application program may be inconstant.
The processing time of the application program is displayed on the user interface (online)
under PLC | Diagnosis .
Timeout
The processing time must not be greater than the cycle time. If the maximum processing time
successively exceeds 50% of the set cycle time five times, then the cycle time is increased by
50% independently by the system. Simultaneously an error information is set.
For faster reaction times, the application program can be executed spontaneous (event-
controlled). This must be defined in the startup part of the IL (PLC_RESET).
The spontaneous program execution is enabled in the IL by setting the variable PLC_SINGLE
to 1 (single run).
Example:
PLC_RESET:
LD 1
ST PLC_SINGLE (*set single run*)
With a spontaneous program execution the entire application program is processed one time.
If an event occurs, the spontaneous program execution is first started after the current pro-
gram execution has completed (the application program cannot interrupt itself). The reaction
time can therefore be delayed accordingly.
If several events occur at the same time or one after the other just when the application pro-
gram is running, then the states are temporarily stored in a ring and processed chronologically
with the next spontaneous program execution. The same is also valid if a data point changes
its state several times (transient storage).
Example:
C C S1 C S2 C
t
tD
tP tP tP tP tP tP
tC tC tC tC
At the end of each spontaneous pass the cyclic pass is retriggered around the set cycle time.
In this case no exceeding of the cycle time is signaled.
As long as the events occur in a time-scale that is smaller than the cycle time, only spontane-
ous program passes take place. If the cycle time is set to 0 and the spontaneous program ex-
ecution to 1, then only spontaneous program passes take place.
You find further details in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic
System Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Control
Function", "Internal Signal Processing".
With the variable PLC_TX_DATAFLOW_xxx (xxx = typ identifier) in the IL it can be deter-
mined, how the input signals from the periphery are to be forwarded. The parameter setting is
carried out seperately for each type identification and must be programmed in the startup part
of the IL (PLC_RESET):
Control
Periphery Communication
routing implicit Code
via the address
2)
1)
Data from the communication is sent either direct to the periphery or to the control.
2)
Data from the periphery is sent either direct to the communication or to the control.
By means of a system variable the data flow can be directed in such a way, that data from the periphery
is sent directly to the communication as well as to the control.
Example:
PLC_RESET:
LD 1
ST PLC_TX_DATAFLOW_030 (*all single-point information is sent
parallel to the communication AND to the control*)
You find further details in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and Basic
System Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Restricted Open-/Closed-Loop Control
Function", "Internal Signal Processing".
By means of system variables the following information items can be evaluated in the control
logic:
System time
Processing time
Timeout (yes/no)
Number of program runs
System Errors
You find a description of the system variables in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions
System and Basic System Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Restricted Open-/Closed-
Loop Control Function" |"Instruction List" |"Variables" |"System Variables".
Note
The system information is displayed also in the menu SPS | Diagnosis .
If a command (Activation, ACT) is generated by the controller and output on a peripheral ele-
ment, then the messages for command acknowledgement (ACTCON) and command termina-
tion (ACTTERM) are generated with the corresponding output address of the control.
If the output address of the control is the same as the input address, then both messages are
automatically transmitted again to the control.
If an ACT remains in the control (target = control, no periphery), then an ACTCON, ACTTERM
that is to be possibly simulated can be generated in 1 cycle pass. For this the cause of trans-
mission for the command must be set to 0 and the spontaneous bit to 1. Then one ACTCON
and one ACTTERM respectively will be transmitted.
Example:
LD 0
ST 0_045_001_001_001.COT
LD 1
ST 0_045_001_001_001.S
If this function is not used, the ACTCON and ACTTERM can also be generated individually (for
this at least 2 cycle passes are required).
Note
The corresponding typ identification can be generated by means of Verwendung of utilization of the com-
mand "with/without time" (for instance TI 45/TI 58).
Double commands (TI 46) can be generated by the IL only with the states
01 (OFF)
10 (ON)
You find the details for the processing of commands in the manual SICAM RTUs Common
Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "Automation", section "Treatment for
Commands to the Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function according to IEC 60870-5-101/104".
Via predefined system variables datapoints can be forwarded in the IL periodically to the pe-
ripheral element. This applies only for that datapoints, which are not to be activated by means
of an expert parameter (receive format).

For commissioning and test of the application program the following functions are available:
For the execution of the open-/closed-loop control function the corresponding application pro-
gram must be on the SD card of the target system.
To load an application program from the engineering PC into the target system (upload) click
on the menu PLC | configuration .
Click on the button Browse for the selection of the source path and the source file.
The source file must contain the program code in ASCII format, the file type must be .plc.
Note
During the generation procedure the menu PLC | Configuration must not be left. The selection of an-
other webpage may lead to the occurrence of undefined states.
After the loading the target system performs a startup. The startup page is opened.
After the loading of the application program the target system performs a startup. Thereby the
newly loaded program code is compiled and written in the flash PROM on the master control
element. An already present application program is thereby overwritten.
If the compiler detects a syntax error (violation of the language conventions), the program ex-
ecution is stopped and the error PLC syntax error PLC shut down is recorded in the
diagnosis. On the master control element the red ER LED is lightning. The error details are
displayed in the menu PLC | Diagnosis .
Note
The greater the application program is, the longer take loading process and startup.
Alternatively you can write the application program offline from a text file on the PC onto the
SD card. The file name must be in this case PLC_SRC.plc.
The SD card must be inserted in a read/write device installed on the engineering PC. Target
on the SD card is the root directory.
If in addition the firmware of the master control element (CPC30) is on the SD card, you can
insert this afterwards into the (de-energized) target system. After switching on the power sup-
ply the target system performs a startup, during that the application program code is compiled.
After the startup the application program is active.
You can save the application program from target system on the engineering PC (download)
via the menu PLC | configuration .
Click with the right mouse button on the hyperlink download plc code (right click, save target
as) to open the selection of the target path.
The preset file name results from the values of the AU configuration:
<Customer>_<Plant>_<Station>.plc. The file can be renamed, the preset file type .emc must be
kept.
The target is a text file that contains the program code in ASCII format. The file can be read or
changed with a text editor (for instance Microsoft Notepad ).
You can delete the application program from the target system via the menu PLC |
configuration .
Thereupon the application program is deleted and the startup page is opened.
Afterwards the target system performs a startup. The parameters of the telecontrol function
remain unaffected thereof.
After the performed startup of the target system you can logon again via the appropriate hy-
perlink.
Click on the menu PLC | Diagnosis to open the diagnosis information for the application
program. Here the program processing times, memory utilization, and compiler errors are dis-
played.

Note
Error indications may contain additional statements about the possible error cause and notes for the error
removal (as far as technically realizable).
The diagnosis overview shows the actual error state of the target system an. The display
takes place in plain text, sorted for each configured system element, and divided in error clas-
ses (example: internal error, communication error).
Before a diagnosis you should Acknowledge the recorded items, in order that only currently
present errors are displayed.
Via the menu Diagnosis | Overview you get to the error state.
Display
An error display exists, if unacknowledged or statically active errors are present.
Acknowledge Errors
The recorded items in the error table can be deleted with the button Clear and following
confirmation with OK . Thereupon the indication errors cleared appears in the cur-
rently present window.
The acknowledgement does not affect the error record in the diagnosis history.
The currently active errors can be displayed again with the button Reload .
The diagnosis history shows the chronological sequence of all coming and going errors of the
target system. The display takes place in plain text in chronological order (resolution 1 ms).
Up to 100 indications can be recorded. If the error table is full, no new indications can be rec-
orded. Only if you Acknowledge the error table, new errors can be recorded again.
Upon a diagnosis you should evaluate the error table at first, before you acknowledge (and
thereby delete) the error record.
Via the menu Diagnosis | History Diagnosis you get to the error history.
Note
The error list is deleted, if the power supply of SICAM EMIC is interrupted for minimum 10 s.
Display
An error display exists, if unacknowledged or statically active errors are present.
Acknowledge Errors
The recorded items in the error table can be deleted with the button Clear and following
confirmation with OK . Thereupon the indication errors cleared appears in the cur-
rently present window.
The acknowledgement does not affect the error record in the diagnosis overview.
Newly recorded errors can be displayed again with the button Reload .
Via the menu Diagnosis | time you get to the time diagnosis. Here the time state is dis-
played.
Display
The time state indicates whether the time is set and valid.
With communication via Ethernet and time synchronization via NTP server, additionally the
status of the NTP servers appears. The settings for that reside in the menu Parameter |
CPC30 | Network settings | NTP time synchronization client .
For the supervision of the open-/closed-loop control function several diagnosis functions are
available.
The corresponding supervision routines are performed automatically, no user settings are re-
quired therefore.
Syntax errors in the application program are after the loading into the target system recog-
nized by a compiler and displayed in the menu SPS | Diagnosis . You find further infor-
mation in section 5.2.2.4, Diagnosis of the Application Program.
Errors due to the logic operations or by means of external influence are displayed in the menu
History | Diagnosis .
6.4.1.1 Modules
With startup and during the operation SICAM EMIC supervises the equipped hardware. A
faulty or failed system element is notified as follows:
If a hardware error is present, a replacement of the respective system element by the same
type is required. If the relevant type is no longer available, then the appropriate successor
product is to be used.
If for a successor product another firmware is required, the corresponding system element
must be parameterized anew after the loading of the firmware.
6.4.1.2 SD Card
SICAM EMIC accesses with each startup the SD card and checks it. The following cases lead
to errors with the SD card:
Possible causes for a checksum error are power failure or write error during a loading pro-
cesses on the SD card.
Upon startup with erroneous SD card the supplementary system elements are not started,
hence for instance no remote communication is possible.
SICAM EMIC accesses also during operation the SD card due to operator control actions or
loading processes. If the SD card is detached during operation from a target system, this noti-
fies an error in the diagnosis and activates the ER LED.
With missing SD card loading processes are blocked. With engineering via web browser the
access is completely blocked. The target system performs an automatic logoff and notifies an
error. The logon is only possible again with inserted SD card.
The connection of the process signals takes place on the I/O modules by means of
withdrawable screw terminals. Since these screw terminals carry the wiring, you do not need
to loosen any wires upon module exchange. The screw terminals are packed with each
I/O module.
detach the terminals from the corresponding module (simplified by the pull-off aid
TC6-200)
detach the corresponding module from the DIN rail
when replacing the master control module, you can eject the SD card with the help of a
ball-point pen or a pencil, and insert it easily in the new master control module (the appli-
cation data is stored non-volatile on the SD card)
put the new module in place of the withdrawn module on the DIN rail, and pay attention to
the correct connection with the other modules
Warning
For modules that operate with voltages >60 V (e.g. DO-6212, DI-6101) care must be taken that manipula-
tion on the peripheral connectors may only be carried out in a de-energized state.
The reason for this is that when withdrawing the upper peripheral connector under voltage, the external
voltage can be conducted through the lower peripheral connector still connected. The pins of the upper
peripheral connector now freely accessible will now conduct the external voltage.
Warning
The connecting and withdrawal of modules is only permitted in a de-energized state. This state is
achieved by interrupting the power supply to the power supply unit and to the peripherals.
You find detailed hints for the installation of modules in section 1.3.3, Installation and Removal
of Modules.
You find further technical information on module replacement in the manual SICAM RTUs
Common Functions System and Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section
"Data Storage on Flash Card".
When replacing the master control module the SD card can be ejected and inserted in the
new master control module. The engineering data (parameters and application program)
stored on the SD card is applied automatically.
After a module replacement you must carry out a startup of the target system.
When replacing an I/O module by the same type, there is no anew parameterization required.
The parameters already stored on the SD card are automatically applied on the new module.
When replacing an I/O module by a another type, an anew parameterization of the related
functionality is required.
After the replacement of an I/O module, this is only operational after a startup of the master
control element.
If an I/O module has been removed or replaced by another type, SICAM EMIC notifies a con-
figuration error or module error after startup. This applies also, if the originally equipped se-
quence is changed. The relevant I/O module and all the following ones are then not opera-
tional.
Restore the mechanical configuration (module types and sequence) according to the parame-
terization and carry out a startup of the target system.
Remove the peripheral element in the parameterization, click on the button Apply and carry
out a startup of the target system.
Afterwards add the peripheral element again, click on the button Apply and carry out a
startup of the target system. SICAM EMIC "learns" thereby the new mechanical configuration.
Note
Please consider that with the removal of the peripheral elelement the existing parameterization (configu-
ration and settings of the I/Os) is lost.
With startup the parameterization of the learnt I/Os is built up newly with the default values.
To an already existing configuration added I/O modules are recognized by SICAM EMIC and
"learnt upon startup, without notifying an error thereby. With parameterization via web brows-
er, new modules are added automatically in the menu tree.
New SD cards can be ordered at Siemens (see SICAM EMIC System Description", chapter
"Order Information").
You find the hints for the replacement of the SD card in section 1.9, SD Card for the Master
Control Module .
Caution
Insert or remove the SD card only in the de-energized master control module. The contents of a SD card
can become invalid if it is removed during a running write procedure. If occasion arises, the contents of the
SD card must be deleted and written newly again.
After inserting the SD card a startup of the target system must be carried out.
You find further technical information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System
and Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section "Data Storage on Flash
Card".
In SICAM EMIC, the functionality of system elements can be updated in need. For each sys-
tem element, an individual loadable firmware is provided. You find information thereto in sec-
tion 3.3, Loadable Firmwares.

You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", section
"Master Data Update".
An additional option provides the tool "Live Update". You find the information thereto in the
SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Service Programs", section "Live Update".
Firmware codes that are existing in the SICAM TOOLBOX II can be loaded into a target sys-
tems.
For the accomplishment the engineering PC must be connected with the target system, and a
suitable SD card must be inserted in the target system. The configuration options listed in sec-
tion 3.6.1, SICAM TOOLBOX II apply.
Note
A serial connection via modem is not supported.
With the tool "Load Firmware" ( TOOLBOX II | Service Programs ) you can load firmware
codes into the target system. The following options are available:
Load intelligent
The latest firmware revision available in the TOOLBOX II is loaded, if it is more current
than that one on the corresponding system element
Load unconditional
The latest firmware revision available in the TOOLBOX II is loaded
You find the instructions thereto in the TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "Service Programs",
section "Load Firmware".
For the accomplishment a SD card reader/writer must be connected on the Toolbox PC, and a
suitable SD card must be inserted.
With the tool "OPM II" you can select the corresponding AE via the menu Tools | System
technique . Via the context menu of the automation unit Flashcard | create files you
can transfer firmware files on a SD card.
You find the details thereto in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter "OPM II", section
"System technique | SICAM RTUs | Load Flashcard".
Insert the SD card afterwards in the de-energized target system, and switch on the power
supply after that. The target system performs a startup, and loads thereby the firmwares on
the corresponding system elements. Depending on number and size of the loaded files, the
startup can last up to 20 minutes.
With engineering via web browser, updated firmware codes that are provided in PRISMA can
be loaded into a target system in a simple manner.
Note
SICAM TOOLBOX II firmware updates can not be loaded via the web browser.
For the accomplishment the engineering PC must be connected with the target system, and a
suitable SD card must be inserted in the target system. The configuration options listed under
section 3.6.2, Web Browser apply.
Via the menu Upload/Download you can load firmware files directly into the target system.
You find the details thereto in the section 5.1.3, Loading Firmware.
With loading the firmware is stored on the SD card in the target system. Afterwards the target
system performs a startup, whereby the belonging system element is updated (if already con-
figured). Not yet configured system elements appear now in the selection in the menu
Configuration .
Note
For the online loading an already running firmware CPC30 must exist in the target system, furthermore you
need the corresponding access right for the engineering tool.
For the accomplishment a SD card reader/writer must be connected on the Toolbox PC, and a
suitable SD card must be inserted.
Now you can copy the required firmware files from the PC into the root directory of the SD
card. For the initialization of SICAM EMIC (first loading of firmware), the firmware CPC30 must
be copied on the SD card.
Insert the SD card afterwards in the de-energized target system, and then switch on the power
supply. The target system performs a startup, and loads thereby the firmwares on the belong-
ing system elements (if already configured). Depending on number and size of the loaded
files, the startup can last up to 20 minutes.
Note
With an initial parameterization this possibility (firmware CPC30) serves as beginning point for the engi-
neering via web browser.
For a perfect functioning of the master control element, it is absolutely necessary that the
loading process completes without errors.
If the loading process is terminated with an error, cancel it. Afterwards, start the loading pro-
cess again and attempt to complete without error. If an error occurs again, check the record in
the diagnosis and the lighted display on the master control element.

You find further technical information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System
and Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", sections "Loading Operation" and
"Firmware Shut Down".
Note
A master control element that is defective can be recognized by the fact, that after a restart of
SICAM EMIC the yellow RDY-LED and the red ER-LED do not light up. An access with the
SICAM TOOLBOX II is no longer possible in this case.

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

The hours result by minutes devided by 60. The hours always will be recalculated based on
the minutes, the same after a power down.

(*divided by 60*)
To reset the counter score it is necessary to reset the counter (CTU_COUNTER.R) as well as
the flag with the retained value (M_DINT_MINUTESOLD).
This could be executed by a subroutine before PLC_RESET. With RET the subroutine will be
left.
(*SUBROUTINE*)
ResetCounter:
LD 0 (*the old value for operating minutes*)
ST M_DINT_MINUTESOLD (*is set to "0"*)
ST M_BOOL_RESET (*reset the flag for running this*)
(*subroutine*)
LD 1
ST CTU_COUNTER.R (*reset counter by input R*)
RET
(*END SUBROUTINE*)
The call of the subroutine could be executed at the end (after ST M_DINT_HOURS). Therefore
the flag (M_BOOL_RESET) must be set to 1. Instead of the flag an input address could be
used, for instance a command.
Reaching the command CALC the call of the subroutine will be executed. In the subroutine the
flag (M_BOOL_RESET) will be reset to 0, otherwise the counter would last at 0 as long as the
flag will be reset to 0.
If an input signal is bouncing, the blocked bit (BL) is set. The number of state changes until the
BL bit is set, as well as the monitoring time during which the information must be static until
the BL bit is reset, are adjustable via constants. An output is set to 0 during the BL bit is set.
With an edge detection for the rising edge (R_TRIG_INEDRISE0) and the falling edge
(F_EDTIMEFALL0) the counter (CTU_EDC0) will be incremented by 1. At the same time the R
input of the counter is reset via an ON delay for the rising edge (TON_EDTIMERISE0) as well
as for the falling edge (TON_EDTIMEFALL0). With this function all state changes of the input
will be integrated by the counter (started with the first edge and triggered by each following
one).
As soon as a state change of the input happens the flag (M_BOOL_COUNTER00) is reset and
the input of an AND (module 8) is set (inverted). If the sum of state changes is greater as or
equal to a defined number (CV>=PV) the counter output is set as well, and the BL bit is set.
With the set BL bit the output is reset by another AND (module 9).
After termination of the monitoring time the R input of the counter is set again, and the counter
is reset. If the BL bit is set, it will be reset as well (output of module 8 is 0).

In the procession sequence the R input of the counter must be reset first, because only after-
wards the positive edge at the CU input of the counter causes an increment. Therefore the ap-
plication program handles the R input before the CU input of the counter.
