Qualified Personnel

Commissioning and operation of the equipment (module, device) described in this manual
must be performed by qualified personnel only. As used in the safety notes contained in this
manual, qualified personnel are those persons who are authorized to commission, release,
ground, and tag devices, systems, and electrical circuits in accordance with safety standards.

Use as Prescribed

The equipment (device, module) must not be used for any other purposes than those de-
scribed in the Catalog and the Technical Description. If it is used together with third-party de-
vices and components, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens.

Correct and safe operation of the product requires adequate transportation, storage, installa-
tion, and mounting as well as appropriate use and maintenance.

During operation of electrical equipment, it is unavoidable that certain parts of this equipment
will carry dangerous voltages. Severe injury or damage to property can occur if the appropri-
ate measures are not taken:

• 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!

Introduction

1.2.1 Versatile Communication Capability

With SICAM AK 3, a variety of media can be utilized for local and remote communication.
(wire connections, FO, radio, dial-up traffic, GSM, GPRS, WAN, LAN, field bus etc.).

Through the simple installation of serial interface modules, in total up to 68 communication in-
terfaces are possible in one SICAM AK 3, whereby a different individual protocol can be used
for each interface.

For the communication, protocols according to IEC 60870-5-101/103/104 and IEC 61850 are
implemented. The consistent implementation of these standards guarantees a uniform ad-
dressing of data from the source through to the sink.

In addition there are also a variety of third-party protocols available. Through this, the seam-
less integration into existing automation networks is enabled, whereby a long-term safeguard-
ing of already effected investments is ensured.

1.2.2 Open System Architecture

The basis for this automation concept is a modular, open and consequently technology-
independent system architecture for processing, communication and peripherals (multi-
processor system, firmware).

Standardized interfaces between the individual elements again permit, even with further de-
velopments, the latest state of technology to be implemented, without having to modify the ex-
isting elements. In this way, a longevity of the product and consequently investment security
and continuity can be ensured.

Every board and every module on which a firmware can run, forms, together with the function-
determining firmware, one system element.

The adaptation to the specific requirements of the application is achieved through the individ-
ual configuration and through the loading of standard firmware and parameters. Within their
defined limits, the parameters thereby not only influence the behavior of the firmware func-
tions, but also that of the hardware functions. With that, for all module types, all mechanical
parameter settings are omitted, such as e.g. the changing of jumpers or loads and thus ena-
bles not only the online change, but also a consistent documentation of the set parameters by
the SICAM TOOLBOX II as well as a simplified storage.

1.2.3 Simple Process Interfacing

For the central acquisition and output of process signals, up to 16 modules for the process in-
put/output can be inserted into an SICAM AK 3 board rack. The interfacing of the process sig-
nals takes place by means of prefabricated connection cables at the rear of the board rack.
LEDs at the front give information on the state of each module and of the process signals.

SICAM AK SICAM AK

In addition, it is possible to use SICAM TM peripheral elements. An essential feature of the

SICAM TM peripheral elements is the efficient and simple interfacing possibility of the process
signals. This takes place on so-called I/O modules, which are distinguished through a robust
casing, a secure contact as well as solid electronics. The I/O modules are lined up in rows.
The contact takes place during the process of latching together, without any further manipula-
tion. Thereby each module remains individually exchangeable.

A clearly arranged connection front with LEDs for the status display ensures clarity locally.
The structure of the terminals enables a direct sensor/actuator wiring without using intermedi-
ate terminals with wire cross-sections up to 2.5 mm2. Modules for binary inputs and outputs up
to 220 VDC open further saving potentials at the interface level.

Depending on the requirements, the I/O modules can be fitted with either an electrical bus or
an optical bus, through which the peripheral signals can be acquired as close as possible to
the point of origin. In this way a broad cabling can be reduced to a minimum.

Introduction

1.2.4 Easy Engineering

An essential aspect in the overall economical consideration are the costs that occur for the
creation, maintenance and service. For this, the reliable SICAM TOOLBOX II is used.

• Object-orientation
The object-orientation makes it possible to also utilize the same characteristics of same-
type primary-technology units and operational equipment (e.g. disconnectors, circuit
breakers, feeders etc.) for the configuration. The close coupling with the design tool en-
sures the consistent, uniform documentation of the entire plant through to circuit diagram.
Through this, considerable rationalization results with engineering.
• Open-loop and closed-loop control according to IEC 61131-3
Open- and closed-loop control application programs are created by means of CAEx plus
according to IEC 61131-3, a standard that is generally accepted and recognized in the
market. As a result, the training periods are reduced considerably.
• All engineering tasks can also be carried out remotely
All engineering tasks, from the system diagnostic through to the online test, can also be
performed remotely with the SICAM TOOLBOX II. For this, a separate communication link
is not necessary: each available communication interface can be used. As far as present,
also the Ethernet can be used for the engineering.
Using further automation units of the SICAM RTUs product family, the SICAM TOOLBOX
II can be remotely positioned over an arbitrary number of hierarchies.
The access to the engineering data is fundamentally protected by a password.

1.2.5 Redundancy

In order to increase the availability of a plant or a plant section, one can design certain system
parts redundant, in other words duplicated.

In SICAM AK 3, redundancy is available in various forms:

• Redundant power supply

• Redundant processing and communication elements
• Redundant peripheral elements
• Redundant communication routes (communication links usually have by far the highest
failure rate)
• Redundant application programs
• Redundant automation units
• Redundant total systems

1.2.6 Safety-Related Features

Due to the continuously increasing demand for functional safety in plants and machines, it
may be necessary to transfer safety-related tasks to an automation unit. Thereby, the reliable
and safety-related functions of the system and components is to be ensured according to the
relevant national and international standards (IEC 61508, IEC 62061, ISO 13849 and further),
both in normal operation and in the case of failure and errors.

For this purpose, SICAM AK 3 can be optionally expanded with a parameter-settable safety
application.

Edition 04.2019, MC2-025-2.04
 Introduction

1.2.7 Plug & Play for Spare Parts

All data of an automation unit such as firmware and parame-

ters are stored non-volatile centrally on an exchangeable SD
Card.

With a restart of the automation unit, and also with a restart of

individual modules, all necessary data are automatically
transferred from the SD Card to all CPUs and modules.

Consequently, with the exchange of modules, new loading is no longer required, since new
modules obtain all data from the storage card. Thereby, work during a service operation is re-
duced to a minimum.

1.2.8 Compatibility

Older products (such as SICAM AK, AK 1703, AM 1703, AMC 1703) can be easily networked,
either via the serial communication according to standard IEC 69870 5 101 or via Ethernet
TCP/IP according to standard IEC 60870 5 104. In addition, yet older products (such as SK
1703) are supported with restrictions.

Networking of SICAM AK 3 with other SICAM RTUs products is evidently supported.

Edition 04.2019, MC2-025-2.04
 Introduction

1.3.1 Front End, Gateway

Due to the large number of interfaces (up to 68) and the variety of protocols available,
SICAM AK 3 is perfectly suitable for the use as front end for a process control system.

All telecontrol substations – regardless of which manufacturer and over which protocol – are
connected to SICAM AK 3. In the front end, the signal processing and adaptation takes place
for the respective control system. From the perspective of the control system, there is no dif-
ference which protocol and which system behavior the substation actually has.

1.3.2 Process Control Applications, Automation Applications

Open- and closed-loop control application programs are created by means of CAEx plus ac-
cording to IEC 61131-3, a standard that is generally accepted and recognized in the market.

In SICAM AK 3, at every slot a system element with open-/closed-loop control function can be
installed. Through this and due to the modularity, SICAM AK 3 is suitable for many applica-
tions: from smaller automation applications up to complex process control applications. Natu-
rally, all applications can also be combined.

1.3.3 Station Control Device, Sub-Node

The functionality of a station control device can be simply regarded as a combination of the
functionality of a front end (interfacing of diverse bay devices, protective devices, processing
of the data for the power system control) and the functionality of process control applications
(open- and closed loop control application programs), and is therefore perfectly suited for this
application. In addition, further telecontrol peripherals could also be installed in the station
control device, through which telecontrol station and station control device could be united in
one device.

1.3.4 Telecontrol Substation

For telecontrol applications there is a modular, versatile periphery available for the process
data interfacing.

Especially due to the possibility of being able to remotely locate SICAM TM peripherals,
SICAM AK 3 supports peripheral elements installed centrally and decentralized. Flexible
communication functions also permit redundant communication and communication over
stand-by transmission lines.

Naturally, arbitrary open- and closed-loop control application programs can be realized in
SICAM AK 3 with CAEx plus, through which, at the same time and to the same degree,
SICAM AK 3 can become a remote terminal unit and an automation unit in one.

System Overview

2.4.3.2 Configuration

For process input and output, peripheral elements can be connected to a basic system ele-
ment locally in the board rack and/or externally via bus interface modules.

For the connection of peripheral elements inside the basic board rack, there is a local Ax 1703
peripheral bus which is operated either by the master control element or by one of the in-
stalled processing and communication elements (definition by means of parameterization).

In order to be able to connect peripheral elements outside the basic board rack, the master
control element provides an own external Ax 1703 peripheral bus (AXPE-C0), and each in-
stalled processing and communication element provides an own external Ax 1703 peripheral
bus (AXPE-Cn, n = 1…16). Each external bus is available via an RJ45 connector. Each exter-
nal bus is available via an RJ45 connector.

Bus Interface Designation Connection Number of Periph-

eral Elements
– Local Ax 1703 peripheral bus electrical CM-2844: up to 8 1)
CM-2846: up to 16 1)
– External Ax 1703 peripheral bus electrical CM-2843: up to 16
CM-0843 Bus interface module Ax-PE 4x USB electrical up to 16 2)
CM-0842 Bus interface module Ax-PE 4xFO optical up to 16 2)
1) for each installed processing and communication element the number is reduced by 1
2) up to 4 bus interface modules necessary

Patch cables, by means of those the connection between master control element and bus in-
terfaces or peripheral elements is set up, may be maximum 3 m long each.

The address of the peripheral elements on the Ax 1703 peripheral bus is determined in
SICAM TOOLBOX II, when defining the Ax 1703 peripheral bus configuration. The same ad-
dress will be set on the peripheral elements.

2.4.3.3 Ax 1703 Peripheral Bus

The Ax 1703 peripheral bus permits the secured (hamming distance 4), serial system-internal
communication between the basic system element and the peripheral elements. Serial com-
munication also makes it possible to locally detach individual or all peripheral elements with-
out sacrificing any of the full system functionality.

The communication at the Ax 1703 peripheral bus takes place according to the master-slave
method, the peripheral elements being the slave and the basic system element the master.
Each peripheral element constitutes - regardless of its function, data volume and processing -
one participant at the Ax 1703 peripheral bus.

The Ax 1703 peripheral bus is operated with a transmission rate of 16 Mbit/s.

The Ax 1703 peripheral bus may be accessible

• at slots at the backplane of a board rack (internal bus)

• via external connectors (external bus)

Addressing of the bus participants is handled for all peripheral elements via a logical peripher-
al board address (PBA) that can be set on the peripheral element.

42 Unrestricted SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description

Edition 04.2019, MC2-025-2.04
 System Overview

Data of different classes are transmitted over the Ax 1703 peripheral bus:

• spontaneous data for the function package Telecontrol

• periodical data for the function package Automation

Periodical information is exchanged between the basic system element and the peripheral el-
ement based on the cycle of the open-/closed-loop control function on the basic system element.

Spontaneous data are transmitted as messages with process information and messages with system
information between the basic system element and the peripheral element, with acknowledg-
ment.

Note
In order to connect peripheral elements electrically and/or optically, resources such as bus interface mod-
ules may be required (refer to manual SICAM AK 3 User Manual; chapter “Automation Units and Automa-
tion Networks”).

2.4.4 Protocol Elements

A protocol element serves for the exchange of data - and thereby for the transmission of mes-
sages - over a communication interface to other remote stations, such as automation units,
control systems, or protective devices. A fundamental characteristic is the separation of proto-
col-bound communication from application tasks of an automation unit.

In SICAM AK 3 we distinguish 2 types of protocol elements. The first type (Hardware-PRE)

consists of hard- and firmware. Both get installed/loaded on a basic system element. The sec-
ond type (local PRE) consists only of firmware which gets loaded an a basic system element.

Process

In order to be able to communicate with as many systems as possible, SIEMENS has decided
not only to employ standard protocols, which are normalized by IEC, but to considerably take
part in the creation of these standards.

The automation units communicate preferred according to the following standards:

• IEC 60870-5-101 in case of serial communication

• IEC 60870-5-103 in case of serial communication with protective devices
• IEC 60870-5-104 in case of LAN/WAN networks
• IEC 61850 in case of LAN/WAN networks (e.g. communication with protective devices)

On each available communication interface you can load a communication protocol with the
SICAM TOOLBOX II.

MC2-025-2.04, Edition 04.2019
System Overview

2.4.4.1 Features

• Each interface has its own protocol processor

─ communication has no impact on the application, and vice versa
─ Each processor runs one communication protocol
─ Various different protocols run on one and the same hardware
─ All protocols can be loaded with SICAM TOOLBOX II
• You can change the communication protocol, for instance from serial to LAN, without ret-
roactive effect to the application tasks of an automation unit
• Each automation unit can be equipped with various protocols, this allows easy implemen-
tation of data nodes and front ends

2.4.4.1.1 Serial Communication

The following are available as standard protocols for serial communication:

• Point-To-Point Traffic
• multi-point traffic, optionally with relay operation
• Dial-Up Traffic

Naturally, all standard protocols are fully based on the interoperable standard to
IEC 60870-5-101, including

• Absolutely free addressing

• Single object orientation
• Time Synchronization
• Integrated remote maintenance functions such as
─ Remote diagnostics
─ Remote parameter setting
─ Online test functions

Yet, there is still a whole series of other available protocols, information thereto can be found
in the SICAM AK 3 User Manual.

Additional information on interfacing to third party systems and third-party protocols (protocols
subject to license) is available on request.

2.4.4.1.2 LAN/WAN Communication

Today, modern automation systems are generally distributed and thus require networks to
connect the various components with one another. In its systems, Siemens has for many
years provided networks that link the various components with one another.

From the very beginning, great attention was paid to ensuring full integration as well as opti-
mum availability and operational reliability. As network technology continued to become ever
more refined, Siemens as well has continuously been updated and upgraded to reflect the lat-
est state of the art without neglecting the criteria of ensuring a long system lifecycle and high-
est availability.

LAN/WAN communication relies on Ethernet TCP/IP to IEC 60870-5-104, which again guar-
antees maximum interoperability.

2.6 Engineering

The costs for the creation and maintenance of automation technology plants are determined
to an increasing degree by the costs for the creation and updating of the engineering data.
The engineering data therefore represent major capital goods of the company, the creation
and updating of which by means of a high-quality engineering system results in a considerable
reduction of the indirect costs.

For this reason, SIEMENS places great importance on the engineering systems in its product
range, and with the SIEMENS TOOLBOX II, thus consequently continues its policy of always
providing high-quality, ergonomic products based on innovative system technology, also in the
field of engineering systems.

The high demands on the easy and intuitive operability, as well as on the overall ergonomics
of an engineering system are satisfied by the SICAM TOOLBOX II through an state-of-the-art
operating and display technology, and through forward-looking conception:

• Fully graphical user interface with easy operation

• Uniform "look and feel" (Window technology, Menus, Icons, Help System)
• Industrial standard database system ORACLE TM
• Network support (SIEMENS TOOLBOX II Peer Server)
• Client/Server architecture
• Windows based operating systems
• Standard hardware (Personal Computer)

Basically the SICAM TOOLBOX II is available in the following configurations:

• Local PC Configuration (SICAM TOOLBOX II local)

• Server-Client Configuration (SICAM TOOLBOX II in a network)

The SICAM TOOLBOX II as Integrated Overall Tool

All engineering data is stored, managed and processed on the same hardware platform in a
central database by the same tool.

If an exchange of data with devices or systems of other manufacturers should be necessary,

then there is a specific data interface for this available that is simple to operate, the source da-
ta management.

During the entire lifecycle of the plant, the SICAM TOOLBOX II comprehensively supports all
phases of the plant configuration and maintenance for the entire SICAM RTUs system family.
The engineering with the SICAM TOOLBOX II therefore goes far beyond conventional device
parameterization and comprises the following areas:

• Data Acquisition, Data Modeling

• Parameter setting, test and diagnostic
• Documentation
• Backup and archiving
• Maintenance

 System Overview

2.6.1 Data Acquisition, Data Modeling

Feeders Plant OPM II View

The plant is at the center of the configuration procedure.

For same type primary technology units and resources (objects), types can be modeled, which
contain the characteristics of the objects. During engineering, such objects can be created
identically many times very easily (one speaks of instantiation). As a result considerable sav-
ings can be achieved.

The advantages outweigh not only with the creation but also with the updating of the data for
expansions and with consistent change of all same-type objects as well as with the achievable
quality with regard to consistency of the engineering data.

2.6.2 Application Program for the Open-/Closed-Loop Control Function

An application program for the open-/closed-loop control function is created according to IEC
61131 3 using CAEx plus, a tool of the SICAM TOOLBOX II. This standard is generally ac-
cepted in the market and is recognized. Engineering according to this standard generally only
requires short training periods.

• Sum commands, sum alarms
• Limit monitoring
• Bay- and station-related interlocks
• Synchronous comparison with analog of busbar
• Switchover automation, switching sequences (e.g. busbars, transformers)
• Step-by-step controls
• Closed loop control (e.g. tap changer controller)

There are many test function available, both offline as well as online. Consequently, test and
commissioning periods can be kept very short.

3.1 System Services

System Services is a function package, that provides general functions and basic services in
an automation unit, that other function packages require:

• Communication with the engineering system

• Data Flow Control
• Addressing
• Time management
• General interrogation, outstation interrogation
• Self-Test
• Failure
• Diagnostic and Signaling
• Redundancy
• Autonomy
• Secure Factory Reset

3.1.1 Communication with the Engineering System

(SICAM TOOLBOX II)

For the communication between the SIEMENS TOOLBOX II and the automation unit, in two
respects there are different variants:

• Physical connection of the SICAM TOOLBOX II with an automation unit

─ Locally
− Universal Serial Bus (USB) on the master control element
─ Remotely
− Ethernet (TCP/IP)
• Logical connection of the SICAM TOOLBOX II with that automation unit, that is the subject
of the engineering task:
─ Local automation unit (that is that one, to which the physical connection exists, regard-
less in which of the above mentioned forms)
─ Remote automation unit (automation unit that can be reached via the local automation
unit; consistent remote communication according to IEC 60870-5-101/104 or 61850 is
required)

With the exception of the very first initialization procedures, all tasks are possible in each of
the above mentioned variants, including for example:

• Parameter setting
• Diagnosis
• Test (for example online test of an application program of the open-/closed-loop control
function)
• Load firmware, load parameters

3.1.2 Data Flow Control

The data flow control coordinates the communication of messages within the automation unit.

This function supports:

• Messages with Process Information

• Messages with System Information

For the tracking of messages within an automation unit the following test functions are availa-
ble:

• Data Flow Test

• Message Simulation

3.1.2.1 Messages with Process Information

IEC 60870-5 distinguishes between the following classes of messages. The type identification
of each message provides information about the class to which a message belongs and with
which methods it is to be distributed:

• Messages with process information in monitor direction

─ binary information, measured values, integrated totals and bit patterns
• Messages with process information in control direction
─ commands, setpoint values and bit patterns

The distribution of messages with process information takes place by way of routing (telecon-
trol function) or assignment (open / closed-loop control function) based on the message ad-
dress and type identification in the message.

Messages with process information, that are to be transmitted to other automation units via pro-
tocol elements, are distributed with the help of the automatic data flow routing.

For messages with process information that are to reach sinks within the automation unit -
such as peripheral elements, open-/closed-loop control function - the routing information or
assignments are automatically derived from parameters from OPM-inputs (datapoint address).

Predominantly used are message formats according to IEC 60870 5 101/104 in the public
range with the exception of user data containers. Therefore, for their part the messages are
compatible and interoperable with many other manufacturers.

Within the SICAM RTUs family, the messages are compatible when using standard protocols,
just as with the older products AK 1703, AM 1703, AMC 1703, and BC 1703.

Messages with process information have a 5-stage message address. Message addresses must
be parameterized at the sources, such as e.g. peripheral elements, open-/closed-loop control
function.

3.1.3 Addressing

3.1.3.1 Addressing of Automation Units

An automation unit is addressed by means of:

• Region number (0 ... 249) and

• Component number (0 ... 255)

Within a system-technical plant each automation unit must be unambiguously addressed.

Therefore a system-technical plant may consist of up to 64.000 automation units.

3.1.3.2 Addressing of System Elements

Within an automation unit, system elements are addressed by means of numbers for:

• Basic system elements

• Peripheral elements
• Protocol elements

3.1.3.3 Addressing of the Process Information

Addressing and the structure of the process information to be passed on are consistent with
the IEC 60870 5 101/104 standard. Therefore, the information is in turn compatible and in-
teroperable with many other vendors.

In the automation network, each data point is addressed by means of

CASDU 1 Common address of the ASDU, octet 1

CASDU 2 Common address of the ASDU, octet 2
IOA 1 Information object address, octet 1
IOA 2 Information object address, octet 2
IOA 3 Information object address, octet 3

Messages with process information in monitor direction are source-addressed, messages with pro-
cess information in control direction destination-addressed.

3.1.4 Time management

It is an integral element of the time management, that each automation unit and each system
element, that has a time-dependent function to fulfill, can manage a clock with corresponding
accuracy and resolution. Each automation unit has a central clock, the so-called time server.

60 Unrestricted SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description

Edition 04.2019, MC2-025-2.04
 Function Packages

3.1.4.1 Clock

After startup, in error-free operation, the time server of the automation unit is time-set after a
few minutes by means of an external clock. The synchronization between the time server and
the external clock provides the real time accuracy of the automation unit.

The time server itself distributes the time to the clocks of the internal further C-CPUs. After-
wards the time synchronization ensures, that all time servers run in all automation units syn-
chronously.

All clocks within an automation unit are operated and synchronized by a central 10 ms-clock
pulse, that is generated by the time server of the automation unit with an accuracy of < 1 ms.

With power-up, all clocks begin to run unsynchronized with the date/time 01.01.2001
00:00:00.000. Therefore, until the first time setting they have only a relative time, that is
flagged with "invalid".

During a reset the time server keeps running, thereby all clocks remain synchronous.

3.1.4.2 Time Setting and Time Synchronization

For the time setting and the time synchronization, there are many options available:

• Direct serial connection of a DCF77 or a GPS time signal receiver (for the reception of mi-
nute pulses and serial time signals).
• Time setting over the communication (serial, LAN) from a master station, synchronizing by
means of minute pulse of the GPS or DCF77 receiver
• Time setting and time synchronizing over a serial communication
• Time setting and time synchronizing over LAN (Ethernet TCP/IP, SNTP/NTP)

SICAM AK 3 itself can time-set and synchronize, if it is already time-set, further automation
units of the product family SICAM RTUs over communication lines of IEC 60870 5
101/103/104 and IEC 61850.

3.1.4.3 Automatic Time Tag

At every point in the system where messages with process information are generated, these
messages can be provided with a time tag. Resolution and accuracy of the time tag are de-
pendent on

• the function, that generates the time tag

• the system element in which this takes place (see technical data)

The transfer of the data with standard protocols takes place with 7 octet time (in other words
including date, with 1ms resolution) and priority-controlled.

Function Packages

3.1.4.4 Daylight Saving Time (DST)

• DaylightSavingTime mechanism requires the system to be time synced vie NTP, DCF77
or remote sync (101, 104)
• DST mechanism is set with the Time management parameters
• DST time switchover will not work if time sync is failed

3.1.4.5 Leap-Year

• Leap-year is handled by internal clock calendar based on leap year algorithm

• Leap-year will work also if time sync is failed or not available

3.1.5 General interrogation, outstation interrogation

Upon startup and after faults in the system (communication faults, FIFO overflows), the partic-
ipating automation units ensure, that the operation is resumed automatically in a coordinated
manner.

This means, that the internal and external communication connections are set up, and under
consideration of a multi-hierarchical network, all affected data points (binary information, ana-
log values, calculated values, etc.) and system information are transmitted to their sinks. This
takes place with the initiation of a station interrogation to the corresponding part of the auto-
mation network, in which the error occurred.

3.1.6 Self-Test

The self-test is used for the protection against inadmissible operating states. Through a series
of monitoring operations, defects of the hardware used or faulty behavior of the firmware are
detected.

Depending on the respective supervision, tests are performed

• during startup and/or

• continuously during operation

3.1.7 Failure

The system concept of failure management realized in SICAM RTUs ensures the individual
marking of the data of failed parts of the system and the correct system and process behavior
in the event of a fault.

For this the failure management provides:

• a system function for the failure detection (e.g. for modules/system elements, communica-
tion)
• derived from this the marking of the data points affected by the failure in the spontaneous
communication with
─ other automation units
─ the open-/closed-loop control function
─ the peripheral elements
• periodical information that inform the open-/closed-loop control function which peripheral el-
ements - and thereby which periodical information - are affected by the failure
• a parameter-settable behavior of peripheral elements with output function

Consequently, for all data sinks the state is available for every process information and – de-
pending on requirements and functionality – corresponding measures can be initiated.

3.1.8 Diagnostic and Signaling

The diagnostic function manages the system states and error information detected by the in-
dividual functions and their monitoring operations. It enables the display of process states, the
internal system and fault information on the front panel of the modules and the local or remote
diagnostic by means of the SICAM TOOLBOX II.

Each system element delivers its detected system and error states to the master control ele-
ment with supplementary information (e.g. cause of error, originator description). There they
are saved in tables as current and stored information. These information items can be read
out and displayed in detail locally or remotely with the help of the SICAM TOOLBOX II. The
stored information can be acknowledged and can thus be updated again. For the purpose of
better clarity, these tables are divided into classes:

A sum information about the detailed errors is transmitted via the communication to the next
automation units and is additionally managed there.

Further, SICAM AK 3 provides up to 2 relay outputs available for signaling, each with normally
open and normally closed contact.

Important detail or sum information is displayed by means of LEDs.

3.1.9 Redundancy

With redundancy, one system part is utilized for the operation (active), while the other system
part is Standby.

With simple redundancy applications, the processing system elements are designed redun-
dant, whereby one is active, the other is Standby. The Standby processing system element is
continually calibrated, through which, with a failure of the active processing element, a switch-
over to the Standby can take place without operational interruption. In this way, redundant au-
tomation tasks can be realized simply and cheaply. Up to 5 redundant processing elements
can be installed in one SICAM AK 3. Since the power supply can also be designed redundant,
an availability is achieved close to that with two separate automation units.

With redundant communication routes, both communication interfaces can be used simulta-
neously for the purpose of load distribution. If one communication link fails, then all data are
transmitted over the communication link still available.

For redundant front ends, the switchover can take place separately for each communication
interface. This increases the availability, especially with redundant communication routes to
the remote terminal unit.

If the automation units are designed redundant, then a continuous calibration of the open- and
closed-loop control application programs can also be performed.

3.1.10 Autonomy

Autonomy means, that an autonomous basic system element and its supplementary system
elements (protocol- and peripheral elements) continue to function during the failure of the
master control unit. This behavior can be set for each basic system element by means of a
parameter.

On failure of the master control unit, data points are flagged with "not topical", which

• are acquired by other system elements in the automation unit and not over the particular
peripheral or protocol elements
• are acquired by other automation units that are not connected over the particular protocol
elements

After startup of the master control unit, the autonomous basic system element is synchronized
without interruption to operation. Due to a general interrogation, the data points flagged with
“not topical” on failure of the master control unit are updated.

3.1.11 Secure Factory Reset

A Secure Factory Reset sets the device in the delivery status.

That means, that following security relevant information will be deleted, or set to delivery sta-
tus (Factory Settings):

• all firmwares, except the already loaded firmwares (CPCX26, PCCX26, ETAx,…)
• all configurations (parameter, user management, user, passwords, keys, certificates)
• all logging- and diagnosis information (diagnosis logbook, security log)
• all data on the SD card

When is it necessary to make a Secure Factory Reset?:

• Your device is defect and must be sent back to factory.

• All interfaces are set to secure (no more access possible) and you have forgotten the ad-
min password.

3.2 Telecontrol

The function package Telecontrol includes the following functions:

• Communication with other Automation Units

─ Protocol elements
─ Automatic or selective data flow routing
─ Data Storage
─ Priority control
─ redundant communication routes
• Protocol element control and return information
• Process data input and output
• Decentralized archive

3.2.1 Communication with other Automation Units

3.2.1.1 Protocol elements

The communication function controls the transmission of messages via protocol elements to
other automation units or control systems.

The communication function differentiates between transmission and receive direction.

Communication Function in Transmit Direction

The messages to be transmitted are learned through the automatic data flow routing and
stored in the data storage. The transfer of the messages from the data storage to the protocol
elements takes place via a priority controller in order to optimally utilize the transmission route.

Communication Function In Receive Direction

• Messages with process information are distributed to all functions within the automation unit
• Messages with system information are either processed directly (e.g. station interrogation) or
distributed further based on their destination address (CASDU) (e.g. messages for remote
maintenance)

MC2-025-2.04, Edition 04.2019
Function Packages

3.2.1.2 Automatic or Selective Data Flow Routing

For the data flow routing, a routing of individual process information items is not necessary.
Simply only the direction (monitor direction, control direction, both directions), in which the
messages are to be transmitted, is to be parameterized.

The type identification of each message provides information about the class (refer to Mes-
sages with Process Information) to which a message belongs and with which methods it is to
be distributed:

• Messages with process information in monitor direction

─ For simple applications, the messages are distributed via an entry in the topology
─ For more complex applications, the messages can be distributed selectively by means
of data flow filters
For each communication interface, pass-through filters or blocking filters can be set
Since wildcards can also be used for all address attributes of the message, it is possi-
ble to control the data flow very specifically with simple means
• Messages with process information in control direction
─ The messages are distributed to the destinations determined by their CASDU over in-
terfaces that are defined in the topology

3.2.1.3 Data Storage

The messages that are intended for transmission over communication interfaces, are in prin-
ciple stored chronologically in rings. There is a process image both before and after a ring.
The arrangement, consisting of one ring and two process images, is called a priority channel.
Priority channels for transparent data do not have any process images.

Depending on the data communication mode of the protocol element over which the commu-
nication is processed, priority channels are provided for every priority of the messages to be
transmitted and for every station that can be reached via the protocol element:

• Data communication mode "multi-point" (e.g. multi-point traffic, LAN)

One priority channel for every transmission priority, for every station and for every protocol
element
• Data communication mode "single-point"
One priority channel for every transmission priority and for every protocol element

Priority channels are distinguished with regard to the data that they transport:

• Time synchronization
• System Information
• Process information in control direction
─ Priority channel command (only with selective data flow)
• Process information in monitor direction
─ Priority high with class 1 data
─ Priority medium with class 1 data (only with selective data flow)
─ Priority low with class 1 data (only with selective data flow)
─ Priority high with class 2 data (only with selective data flow)
─ Priority medium with class 2 data
─ Priority low with class 2 data
• Transparent information

68 Unrestricted SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description

Edition 04.2019, MC2-025-2.04
 Function Packages

Functions for priority channels:

• State compression for measured values (can be set using parameters)

Specifically reduces the flood of messages, that can continuously generate fluctuating
("floating") measured values
• Behavior with a priority channel overload
• Behavior during a communication failure (transmit direction)
• Monitoring of the dwell time (parameter-settable) of messages with process information in con-
trol direction
Messages that are stored too long in the priority channel are discarded
• Answering of station interrogations
• Behavior during failure of peripheral elements, communication interfaces etc.
• Blocking (series of information elements)

3.2.1.4 Priority Control

The priority controller has the task of selecting messages recorded in the data memories in-
dependently and individually for each interface and station and to direct the transmission of
the messages via the protocol elements in accordance with their priority. This ensures, that
with several information queued at the same time, the higher-priority, highly important infor-
mation is transmitted first.

The prioritization does not however represent an absolute priority status, but rather a measure
for dividing up the channel capacity. This ensures, that even with continuously available high-
er-priority data, those of lower priority can also be transmitted.

3.2.1.5 Redundant Communication Routes

In accordance with the requirements with regard to reaction time, availability, data throughput
and transmission media, the following redundancy operating modes are possible:

• Communication with redundant remote stations

• Redundant communication with a remote station (load share operation)

Communication with Redundant Remote Stations

The communication with redundant remote stations is possible with every data communication
mode (single-point, multi-point). Thereby both transmission paths are operated independent of

Redundant communication with a Remote Station

The redundant communication to a remote station is possible exclusively in the data commu-
nication mode "single-point". It is supported only on an interface pair (SI0, SI1 resp. SI2, SI3)
of a serial interface module

The redundant communication to a remote station is enabled through two operating modes:

• Data Split Mode

SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description Unrestricted 69

MC2-025-2.04, Edition 04.2019
Function Packages

All messages are transmitted over the parameterized interface (according to the setting in
the data flow filter or in the selective data flow routing).
If the communication is faulty over the parameterized interface, all messages are transmit-
ted over the other interface of the interface pair. If the full functioning capability of the pa-
rameterized interface is detected, a switchover of the interfaces to normal operation takes
place.
─ Improvement in the availability
─ Different transmission rates possible on both transmission paths
─ The data throughput remains unchanged at the same transmission rates
• Load Share Mode
Normally, the messages are transmitted, depending on the data volume, over the less oc-
cupied interface. Preferred is always the interface with the lower number (SI0 or SI2).
If the communication is faulty over 1 interface of an interface pair, all messages are trans-
mitted over the other interface of the interface pair. If the full functioning capability of the
interface is detected, a switchover of the interfaces to normal operation takes place.
─ Improvement of the data throughput and the availability through optimum utilization of
the interfaces with every load and in every operating state
─ Same transmission rates recommended on both transmission paths
─ If the entire traffic is processed over 1 available interface, the data throughput sinks to
that value, that would otherwise be achieved with the same conditions in data split
mode

3.2.2 Protocol element control and return information

This function is used for the user-specific influencing of the functions of the protocol elements.
The main application lies with protocol elements with multi point data communication mode
and especially for dial-up traffic configurations.

This function contains two separate independent parts:

• Protocol element control

─ Test if stations are reachable
─ suppression of errors with intentionally switched-off stations
• Protocol element return information
─ Cost control of telephone charges
─ Cost-efficient utilization of the telephone line (e.g. command initiation only then, when
a connection has already been established).

3.2.3 Process Data Input and Output

The process data input and output comprises

• Acquisition and preprocessing of the process data from the process image of the periph-
eral elements
• Generation and spontaneous transfer of messages with process information over the Ax 1703
peripheral bus for further processing; therein included are
─ Time information (resolution 1 ms or 10 ms, dependent on the peripheral element)
─ Processed input signals
− Change-monitored conditioned values
− Change-monitored derived information
• Spontaneous reception of messages with process information over the Ax 1703 peripheral
bus
• Postprocessing and output of the process data on the peripheral elements

3.2.4 Decentralized Archive (DEAR)

By means of the Decentralized Archive it is possible to store events of a substation locally

and, whenever it is required, to transmit to the corresponding control system. On the other
hand it is possible to restore the archive of a control system after a communication failure.

Depending on which kind of data is to be archived, it is distinguished in

• spontaneous archiving
• periodical archiving

DEAR is separated in 2 partial functions:

• recording of data into the archive

• transmission of the archive to the control system

3.3.1.1 Transfer of Messages with Process Information

Reception of messages with process information and transfer to the open-/closed-loop control func-
tion for the purpose of further processing.

messages with process information in monitor direction:

• Single-point information, double-point information, step position information

• Measured Values
• Integrated totals

processed by the open-/closed-loop control function and transmission of the confirmations for

• Pulse commands (single command, double command, regulating step command)

• Setpoint values
• Bit string of 32 bit

The data transfer of the spontaneous information objects to the application program for further
processing is dependent on the result of the checks.

72 Unrestricted SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description

Edition 04.2019, MC2-025-2.04
 Function Packages

The activation of the element or function to be controlled is the task of the application program
of the open-/closed-loop control function. For the proper operation of this function, information is
required by the application program of the open-/closed-loop control function (e.g. from an inter-
locking logic) for the choice of a positive or negative confirmation.

The treatment for commands can be activated individually for each command via a parameter,
and comprises the following processing functions:

• Prepare command output procedure (“activation”)

─ Formal Check
─ Retry suppression
─ Direct command or 
select- and execute command
─ Check control location
─ Command interlocking
─ 1-out-of n check
─ System element overlapping 1-out-of n check
• Initiate command output procedure (“activation/confirmation”)
─ Command to application program
• Monitor pulse duration (only pulse commands)
─ Command output time
─ Return information monitoring
• Terminate command output procedure (“activation/termination”)

3.3.1.2 Change Monitoring and Generation of Messages with Time Tag

For the generation of Messages with process information, the signals in the output process imag-
es that are assigned to an element of a spontaneous information object, are monitored for
change.

The change monitoring takes place in a grid of the cycle time of each task, in which the signal
is assigned to a spontaneous information object.

On a change of the state in a corresponding element of the spontaneous information object,

the generation of the message is initiated.

Depending on the type of signal to be monitored, different methods are applied:

• Change of the state (positive edge, positive and negative edge)

• Change of the value (according to the rules of the additive threshold value procedure)

If a spontaneous information object has been activated for transmission due to a change, a
message with process information is generated. The time tag represents either the current time
synchronous with the cycle (resolution 10 ms or multiples thereof) or the time information from
an assigned spontaneous information object.

3.3.1.2.1 Additive Threshold Value Procedure

The additive threshold value procedure prevents an unnecessary loading of the transmission
links with insignificant changes of the corresponding analog value and acts only on the basic
data of the spontaneous information objects with measured values.

3.3.2 Open/Closed-Loop Control Function

The open-/closed-loop control function is used for the management of automation tasks with the
help of an application program.

The creation of the application program is carried out by the SICAM TOOLBOX II with the tool
CAEx plus predominantly in function diagram technology according to IEC 61131-3.

The application program processes process ­information (so-called signals) from the periph-
eral elements connected to the basic system element and / or from other system elements in
the automation network of the specific process-technical plant.

Process images form the interface of the application program to the outside world. We distin-
guish between input process images and output process images.

The exchange of the process information can take place in two ways:

• Transmission of periodical information from and to the peripheral elements connected to

the basic system element via the Ax 1703 peripheral bus (process data input and output)
• Transmission of spontaneous information objects from and to functions or peripheral ele-
ments within the automation unit, other open-/closed-loop control function and other automa-
tion units or control systems with the help of the telecontrol interface

3.3.2.1 Non-Volatile Storage

Variables, signals (input process images for spontaneous information objects) and function
blocks can be saved non-volatile. That means, that after a power failure these variables and
signals are immediately available again with their values before the power failure.

3.3.2.2 Task Management

The open-/closed-loop control function manages the application programs in 3 tasks running pe-
riodically:

• "Fast Task"
• "Task"
• "Slow Task"

The open-/closed-loop control function supports 32 programs (type instances) per task. In total,
64 programs are possible over all 3 tasks.

By means of assignment of a program to a task, fast controls can be optimally combined with
slower background processing.

The management of these three periodical tasks (Task Management) corresponds with the
standard IEC 61131-3. Spontaneous tasks are not supported.

74 Unrestricted SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description

Edition 04.2019, MC2-025-2.04
 Function Packages

Coordination of the sequences of a task

• Periodical start in the selected cycle

• Input handling
• Program processing
• Output handling
• Online Test
• Real time archive

Coordination of the three tasks with each other

• "Fast Task" runs without interruption and with constant running time
• "Task" and "Slow Task" can be interrupted by higher-priority functions

Cycle Time

• Within the cycle time, all programs assigned to a task (type instances) must process the
input handling and the output handling for this task
• The cycle time can be set in the tool CAEx plus for each task (10 ms and multiples)
• The cycle times of the three tasks must be different and ascending from the "Fast Task" to
the "Slow Task".

Watchdog Timer

This function monitors the proper sequence of each task within its set cycle time. If a task is
not finished with its input handling, program processing and its output handling within this
time, the next cycle for this task is omitted and a time-out is signaled.

With serious time-outs, for example due to a malfunction, the reliability of the application pro-
gram becomes questionable. A time scale can be defined for such cases, the exceeding of
which leads to an error message and a controlled shutdown of parts or the entire application
program as well as all peripheral elements connected.

3.3.2.3 Loading the Application Program

Initial Loading

The initial loading of an application program is always associated with a startup.

Loading of changes (Reload)

Frequently, in the test and commissioning phase but also with the remedy of faults, changes
must be carried out. Most such changes (error rectifications, expansions) to the application
program can be loaded without interruption to operation. Far-reaching changes can necessi-
tate a startup of the basic system element and consequently an interruption to operation.

In the case of a loading operation that does not necessitate any interruption to operation, all
tasks of the open-/closed-loop control function continue to run unaffected. After successful load-
ing, a switchover to the newly loaded application program takes place synchronous with the
cycle.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description Unrestricted 75

MC2-025-2.04, Edition 04.2019
Function Packages

Examples of changes that do not necessitate any interruption to operation:

• if after change, the function corresponds completely with that before change, in other
words a change has been performed that is not noticeable from "outside"
• if only new functional parts were added, that do not affect those that already existed
• if parameters of a controller are adapted

Fundamentally however, the fault-free operation and consequently the availability of every
control or controller depends on the quality of the program – in other words the measure of
how free they are of formal and logical errors. The loading of error-burdened changes can al-
ways lead to interruptions to operation.

3.3.2.4 Online Test

The entire functionality of the Online Test applies to

• the SICAM TOOLBOX II tool "CAEx plus Online Test" and

• the Online Test function of the open-/closed-loop control function of the automation unit

While in the tool "CAEx plus Online Test", all functions of the man-machine-interface can be
found, the open-/closed-loop control function provides functions for the execution of the operator
inputs.

If for example a value is to be displayed, then the selection of the value and its display takes
place in the tool "CAEx plus Online Test". For this purpose, the open-/closed-loop control func-
tion is given the task of reading out the selected value and transmit it to the
SICAM TOOLBOX II.

In the following, those functions are listed that the Online Test function of the open-/closed-loop
control function provides.

Display and setting of variables and signals

• Display of variables and signals

• Single setting of variables
The value of a variable can change again at any time after setting, due to the function of
the program
• Permanent setting of variables and signals
In order to be able to set variables and signals permanently, a special element ("Force
Marker") is set in the function diagram. This element contains the set value and a switch.
Depending on the position of the switch, the set value and or that value is transferred, that
the source that normally supplies the variable or the signal, is delivered.

Blocking and enabling of messages with process information and periodical information

The copy operation

• in the input-side process images or

• from the output-side process images

of

• Messages with Process Information

• Periodical Information

can be blocked and enabled. This can take place with the following granularity:

• per message
• all messages
• per periodical information
• each peripheral element

Changing the execution status of the open/closed-loop control function

• Perform cold start or warm start of the resource

• Start and stop controller
• Perform cold start or warm start of a task
• Task halt and continue
• Program halt and continue

Test means

The available test means are:

(a) Halting of the execution due to a trigger condition (breakpoint)

(b) Execution of a task in cycle steps
(c) Controlling of the recording of the cyclic archive (Real Time Archive)

For each of the functions (a) and (c) a Trigger Condition is defined in the tool "CAEx plus
Online Test". A trigger conditions consists of up to conditions. The conditions of a trigger con-
dition are linked equal-ranking with AND or OR.

A condition compares a variable with a constant value to be specified:

Variable of the Type Condition <operator>

BOOL variable <operator> value = <>
INT or REAL variable <operator> value < = <> >

The trigger condition is assigned to either a task or the resource (= all tasks), depending on
what shall be achieved:

• The function "Halt the execution due to a trigger condition" halts the task or resource, if the
trigger condition is satisfied
• The function "Real Time Archive" switches over from Recording the Pre-History to Record-
ing the Post-History, if the trigger condition is satisfied

The trigger condition is evaluated at the end of that task, to which it has been assigned; or at
the end of every task, if it has been assigned to the resource.

Real Time Archive

The real time archive of the open-/closed-loop control function records variables (and signals) af-
ter every cycle, in order to make then available for display with the oscilloscope function of the
SIEMENS TOOLBOX II tool "CAEx plus Online Test". Which variables are to be recorded is
defined in the "CAEx plus Online Test". The recording can be controlled in such a way, that
pre- and post-history are available for a post-mortem analysis.

For the recording of the variables there is a memory of 100,000 bytes available for each re-
source.

The recording can be terminated with:

• Operator input in "CAEX plus Online Test"

The recording is terminated, the entire memory is available as pre-history.
• Definable trigger condition
The real time archive switches from Recording the Pre-History to Recording the Post-
History and continues to record until the memory is full. The division of the memory into
pre- and post-history can be defined.
Which variables are to be recorded and at which periodicity, is determined in the "CAEX plus
Online Test". The periodicity is determined by assigning the recording to a task. From its cycle
time and the setting of how many cycles are to be omitted between the recordings, the record-
ing times are produced and consequently the resolution of the display in the oscilloscope func-
tion.

Resolution[ms] = cycle time[ms] of the selected task * (number of cycles to be omitted +1)

The time period for the pre- and post-history is dependent on the number of variables to be
recorded (# of Var) and the aforementioned resolution:

Time period[ms] = (100000*resolution[ms])/((# of Var BOOL)+2*(# of Var INT)+4*(# of Var REAL))

Display Status Information

For each task the following information are made available to the SICAM TOOLBOX II on re-
quest:

• the parameterized cycle time

• the current run time
• the maximum run time
• the number of time-outs that the system has registered

During the course of the interrogation, the current run time and the number of time-outs can
be optionally reset.

5.7.11 Submodules

5.7.12 SM-0570

The submodule SM-0570 (analog value module) is used for modular expansion of peripheral
modules:

• AI-2300
• AI-2302
• AI-2303

5.7.12.1 Overview

The submodule SM-0570 provides

• 2 analog inputs
─ Measuring range -20 mA…+20 mA.
─ Other measuring ranges (e.g. ±5 mA, ±10 mA; ±1 V, ±10 V) are possible when chang-
ing load resistors and providing external circuitry

The function of this submodule is determined by the firmware of the basic module.

5.7.12.2 Value Adaption

In order to be able to carry out these different value adaptions, changes must be made to the
module or the external circuitry. These are to be managed on a project-specific basis (atten-
tion when replacing!).

The load resistors and series resistors used must comply with the following specifications in
order to comply with the specified accuracies:

Values: 123,5 Ohm for 1,3 % overrange (old module)

122,5 Ohm for 2 % overrange (new module)

Techn. Data: RM10mm; 0207; 0,1 %; 5 ppm

After the conversion a factory calibration must be carried out at full-scale for all measured val-
ues at the same time with a high-precision sensor, in order to comply with the specified accu-
racies. If only one sensor is available, the current values mist be connected in series or the
voltage values must be connected in parallel.

• Adaptation for 5 mA:

The load resistance per measured value on the module must be exchanged for a 4 times
value.
• Adaptation for 10 mA:
The load resistance per measured value on the module must be exchanged for a double
value.
• Adaptation for any current value:
There must be a voltage of 2.468 V (1.3%) or 2.45 V (2%) at full load on the load resistor.

SICAM RTUs, SICAM AK 3 System Description Unrestricted 229

MC2-025-2.04, Ausgabe 04.2019
System Components and Technical Data

• Adaptation for 10 V:
The load resistance per measured value on the module must be exchanged for a 5 k ohm
load resistor. Furthermore, an series resistor of 15k4 ohm must be set externally.
• Adaptation for 1 V:
The load resistance per measured value on the module must be exchanged for a 5 k ohm
load resistor. The full-scale voltage for a 12-bit value is now 2.45 V, which means that a
resolution of only 11 bits is available for a 1 V analog value. It must therefore be adapted
to 12 bits in the CAEx.

The submodule SM-0574 provides

• 2 pulse inputs
─ Nominal voltage 24…60 VDC
─ The pulse inputs can be used alternatively as
− 2 counter inputs
− 1 counter input + 1 control input
─ 1 pulse input drives 1 counter (pulse counting)
− The counter has a maximum count of 24 bits width
─ Submodule functions which can be operated autonomously are supplied by backup
voltage
− Because of this counting function and counts are preserved over a supply-outage
of up to 72 hours (count pulse frequency ≤ 50 Hz)
