other standardized communication proto-
cols SICAM PAS supports the new stand-
ard IEC 61850 in the substation for com-
municating with the bay devices. SICAM
PAS is an open system and besides provid-
ing standardized data transfer processes, it
features user interfaces for the integration
of system-specific tasks and offers multiple
automation possibilities.

 14 Substation Automation / SICAM PAS
Description/Application
System overview, application and
functionality of SICAM PAS
• SICAM PAS is an energy automation
solution; its system architecture makes it
scalable.
• SICAM PAS is suitable for operating a
substation not only from one single sta-
tion computer (station unit), but also in
combination with other SICAM PAS sys-
tems or station control units. Communi-
cation in this network is based on a
powerful Ethernet LAN.
• SICAM PAS for safe substation automa-
tion based on robust hardware compo-
nents (non-rotating components) and
an embedded operating system.
• With its features and its modular expand-
ability, SICAM PAS covers a broad range
of applications and supports distributed
system configurations. A distributed
SICAM PAS system operates simulta-
neously on several computers.
• SICAM PAS can use existing hardware
components and communication stan-
dards as well as their connections.
• SICAM PAS controls and registers the
process data for all devices of a substation,
within the scope of the data transfer pro-
tocols supported.
• SICAM PAS is a communication gateway.
This is why only one single data connec-
tion to a higher-level system control cen-
ter is required.
• SICAM PAS enables integration of a fully
graphical process visualization system
directly in the substation.
• SICAM PAS simplifies installation and
parameterization of new devices, thanks
to its intuitive user interface.
• SICAM PAS is notable for its online
parameter setting features, particularly
when the system has to be expanded.
There are no generation times, and there
is no need for loading into a target system
(unless configuration is performed on a
separate engineering PC).
• SICAM PAS features integrated testing and
diagnostic functions.
• Its user-friendliness, its operator control
14 logic, its orientation to the Windows
world and its open structure ideally suit
users’ requirements.

Typical SICAM PAS configuration
IEDs are connected to the station unit with IEC 61850 and various other protocols
(IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-101, PROFIBUS FMS and PROFIBUS DP). The station unit communicate
with the higher-level system control center by means of IEC 60870-5-104.

Communication
Device interfaces and
communication protocols
In a substation that you configure and op-
erate with SICAM PAS, you can use vari-
ous types of protection units, IEDs, bay
control units, measured-value recorders
and telecontrol units from a wide range of
manufacturers.
SICAM PAS offers a large number of com-
mercially available communication proto-
cols for recording data from various de-
vices and through differing communication
channels. Subsequent expansion is easy.
Available protocols
These communication protocols and device
drivers can be obtained as optional addi-
tions to the standard scope of SICAM PAS.
IEC 61850
IEC 61850 is the communication standard
for interconnecting the devices at the bay
and station control levels on the basis of
Ethernet. IEC 61850 supports the direct
exchange of data between IEDs, thus en-
abling switching interlocks across bays in-
dependently of the station control unit, for
example.
PROFIBUS FMS
Most SIPROTEC 4 bay controllers and
protection units can be connected to the
SICAM PAS station unit with PROFIBUS
FMS. Many of the functional aspects stan-
dardized in IEC 61850 have been antici-
pated in this communication platform.
IEC 60870-5-103
Protection units, IEDs, bay control units,
measured- value recorders and trans-
former controllers from many manufac-
turers support the IEC 60870-5-103
protocol and can therefore be connected
directly to SICAM PAS.
IEC 60870-5-101 (master)
The IEC 60870-5-101 protocol is generally
used to connect telecontrol units.
The ‘balanced’ and ‘unbalanced’ traffic
modes are supported.
Siemens SIP · 2008
Automatic dialing is also supported for the
connection of substations with this protocol.
SICAM PAS can establish the dial-up con-
nection to the substation either cyclically or
as required (e.g. for command output). By
contrast, the substation can also establish a
connection cyclically or in event-triggered
mode.
Analog or ISDN modems can be used. A
GSM modem can also be used in the sub-
station.
Several modems are supported for com-
munication with substations. Even if the
‘standard modem’ is already in use, other
substations remain accessible.
IEC 60870-5-104 (Master)
Furthermore, connection of substations
is also supported by the TCP/IP-based
IEC 60870-5-104 protocol.
PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS DP is a highly powerful field
bus protocol based on the token passing
method. For example, it is used for indus-
trial automation and for automating the
supply of electricity and gas.
PROFIBUS DP serves to interface multi-
functional measuring instruments such as
SIMEAS P (I, V, P, Q, p.f. (cos ϕ)) or, for
example, to connect ET200 components
for gathering messages and for simple
commands. Messages, for example, can be
derived from the signaling contacts of fuse
switch-disconnectors.
For simple applications that do not need
functions like time synchronization and fault
recording transfer, etc., SIPROTEC 4 units
can also be interfaced via PROFIBUS DP.
IEDs and substations can also be con-
nected with DNP V3.00 (serial and
“over IP”) and MODBUS.
ILSA Protocol
Communication via the ILSA protocol is a
highlight of SICAM PAS system. Existing
LSA central devices can be used without
changing of configuration on bay level.
A future-proof extension with IEC 61850
is possible.
14 Substation Automation / SICAM PAS
System control center connections,
distributed process connection and process
visualization
SICAM PAS operates on the basis of Win-
dows 2000, Windows XP Professional and
Windows XP Embedded. This means that
the extensive support which 2000/XP offers
for modern communication protocols is
also available with SICAM PAS.
SICAM PAS was conceived for easy and fast
integration of conventional protocols.
Contact Siemens if you have any questions
about integration of user-specific protocols.
The standardized telecontrol protocols
IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104 and
DNP V3.00 (which is also used throughout
the world) are supported for the purpose
of linking up to higher-level system control
centers.
Asymmetric encryption enables tap-proof
DNP V3.00 communication via TCP/IP
connection to higher-level control centers.
Distributed process connection in the sub-
station is possible thanks to the SICAM
PAS Device Interface Processor (DIP).
SICAM PAS can also be set up on comput-
ers networked with TCP/IP. Here, one
computer performs the task of the so-
called full server. Up to six other comput-
ers can be used as DIPs. With this architec-
ture, the system can be adapted to the
topological situation and its performance
also boosted.
SICAM PAS allows use of the SICAM PAS CC
process visualization system for central
process control and monitoring.
For industrial applications, it is easy to
configure an interface to process visualiza-
tion systems via OPC (object linking and
embedding for process control).
SICAM PAS can be configured as an OPC
server or as an OPC client.
The SICAM PAS process variables – avail-
able with the OPC server – can be read and
written with OPC clients working either on
the same device or on one networked by
TCP/IP. This mechanism enables, for ex-
ample, communication with another pro-
cess visualization system.
The OPC server is included in the basic 14
system.
The OPC client can read and write data
from other OPC servers. Typical applica-
tions are data exchange with another
SICAM PAS station unit, and the connec-
tion of SIMATIC programmable control-
lers.
The OPC client is available as an optional
package.

SICAM Diamond
SICAM Diamond can be used to monitor
the system interfaces, to indicate switching
device states (and up-to-date measured
values), and also for further diagnostic
purposes.
SICAM Diamond features an event list and
enables the issue of switching commands.
SICAM Diamond allows access to data
with a Web browser (Microsoft Internet
Explorer), either on the same computer or
from a Web client.
I addition to this, a fault recording archive
created with SICAM Recpro can be accessed
via the intranet/Internet using SICAM
Diamond for visualization, analysis and
downloading of the fault recordings.
In other words:

Further station control aspects
SICAM PAS features bay blocking and
telecontrol blocking functions.
The telecontrol blocking function can also
be configured for specific channels so as to
prevent the transfer of information to one
particular control center during operation,
while transfer continues with other control
centers. The bay blocking and telecontrol
blocking functions act in both the signaling
and the command directions.
Channel-specific switching authority also
makes it possible to distinguish between
local control (SICAM PAS CC) and remote
control for the switching direction, but
also between control center connections.
Circuit-breakers can be controlled in

synchronized/unsynchronized mode.

Automation tasks
can be configured in SICAM PAS with the
CFC (Continuous Function Chart), which
conforms to IEC 61131. In this editor,
tasks are configured graphically by wiring
function blocks. SICAM PAS comes with
an extensive library of CFC function
blocks, developed and system-tested spe-
14 cially for energy automation.
Applications range from generation of
simple group indications through switch-
ing interlocks to complex switching se-
quences.
Namely creation of switching sequences
are supported by the SFC Editor
(Sequential Function Chart).
Fig. 14/4 Process visualization with SICAM PAS CC
Redundancy
The SICAM PAS station unit can be used
in a duplicate configuration to further
boost the availability of the station control
level (see Fig. 14/3). This duplication is
possible with IEDs or substation devices
that support simultaneous communication
with two masters (PROFIBUS FMS,
IEC 60870-5-101) or clients (IEC 61850).
A redundant structure is also possible for
process visualisation with SICAM PAS CC
and fault-record archiving with SICAM
Recpro as shown in Fig. 14/3.
Scope of information
The amount of information to be
processed by SICAM PAS is essentially
determined by the following factors:
• Computer network concept
(multiple-computer network or
single-station system)
• Performance data of the hardware used
• Performance data of the network
• Size of the database (RDBMS)
• Rate of change of values
With a distributed PAS system using a
full server and up to 6 DIPs a maximum
of 350 IEDs and 20,000 data points can
be supported.

Process Visualization
Process visualization with SICAM PAS CC
(see also Fig. 14/4)
In the operation of a substation, SICAM PAS
is used for configuration purposes and as a
powerful data concentrator. SICAM PAS CC
serves as the process visualization system.
Several independent SICAM PAS CC serv-
ers can be connected to one SICAM PAS.
Connection of redundant servers is also
supported. SICAM PAS CC supports the
connection of several SICAM PAS systems.
In the signal lists, the original time stamps
are logged in ms resolution as they occur in
the devices. With every signal, a series of
additional data is also presented to provide
information about causes (spontaneous,
command), event sources (close range, lo-
cal, remote), etc. Besides process signals,
command signals are also logged.
IndustrialX-Controls are used to control
and monitor switchgear. These switching
device objects support four different forms
of presentation (IEC, DIN, SINAUT LSA,
SICAM) for circuit-breakers and discon-
nectors. It is also possible to create bitmaps
(defined for a specific project) to represent
switching devices, and to link them to the
objects. For informative visualization, not
only nominal and spontaneous flashing are
supported, but also the display of various
device and communication states (e.g. up-
to-date/not up-to-date, bay and telecontrol
blocking, etc.).
Measured values and switching device states
that are not continuously updated due to,
e.g., device or communication failure or bay
blocking, may be updated directly via the
operation panel with SICAM PAS CC.
In conjunction with the SICAM PAS station
unit, the switching devices can be controlled
either directly or with “select before operate”.
When visualizing the process by single-line
images, topological coloring can be used.
The WinCC Add-on SIMATIC Web navi-
gator can be used for control and monitor-
ing via the Internet.
SICAM Valpro can be used to evaluate
measured and metered values. It not only
allows a graphical and a tabular display of
archived values, but also enables subse-
quent evaluation functions such as min-
ima, maxima and averages (on an hourly
or daily basis).
Siemens SIP · 2008
SICAM Recpro supports automatic retrieval
and archiving of fault recordings from protec-
tion units connected with IEC 60870-5-103,
PROFIBUS FMS and IEC 61850.
SICAM PAS CC is based on SIMATIC
WinCC, which has advanced to become
both the industrial standard and the mar-
ket leader in Europe. It has the following
impressive features:
• Multilingual capability
• All operation and monitoring functions
on-board.
These include not only the graphics sys-
tem for plant displays and the signaling
and archiving system for alarms and mea-
sured values, but also a reporting and
logging system. Further advantages are
integrated user administration, along with
the granting and checking of access rights
for configuration and runtime operations.
• Easy and efficient configuration
Configuration is assisted by dialogs,
wizards and extensive libraries.
• Consistently scalable, even via the Web
In conformity with requirements, the
bandwidth ranges from simple single-user
station through to distributed multi-user
systems with redundant servers and
multi-site solutions with Web clients.
• Open standards for easy integration
Using any external tools, archived data
can be accessed through a series of open
interfaces (such as SQL and ODBC) for
further editing.
Manufacturer-independent communication
with lower-level controllers (or with appli-
cations such as MS Excel) is supported with
OPC (OLE for Process Control).
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA),
VBScript or ANSI-C create an ideal scope
for project-specific solutions.
• Expandable with options and add-ons
− WinCC/Dat@Monitor
serves to display and evaluate current pro-
cess states and historical data on office PCs,
using standard tools such as the Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Microsoft Excel
− WinCC/Web Navigator
is an option with SIMATIC WinCC for
controlling and monitoring systems over
the Internet, a company Intranet or a LAN
− WinCC/Connectivity Pack
The functions of the two OPC servers
HDA and A&E, and of the WinCC
OLE-DB provider are ensured by the
WinCC/Connectivity Pack.
− FunkServerPro
With the aid of FunkServerPro, messages
from the WinCC signaling system can be
forwarded automatically to radio call re-
ceivers.
14 Substation Automation / SICAM PAS
Configuration
Overview of the operator control
philosophy and user interface
The SICAM PAS user interface is based on
customary Windows technology, which
enables you to navigate in the familiar Win-
dows environment both when configuring
the system and during ongoing operation.
The system distinguishes between configu-
ration and operation of a substation. In
SICAM PAS, these two tasks are firmly
separated by two independent programs.
The SICAM PAS UI – Configuration
program is used to create and edit a
project-specific configuration. To enhance
clarity, four views are distinguished:
− Configuration
− Mapping
− System topology
− Device templates
A common feature of all views is that they
have an Explorer window that shows the
system configuration in a clearly arranged
tree structure. As in the Windows Explorer,
you can open individual levels of this tree
structure to work in them. Meanwhile, you
can close other levels to improve clarity.
Depending on the level you are currently
navigating in and the component you have
chosen, in the context menu (right mouse
button) SICAM PAS offers you precisely
those program functions that are currently
appropriate.
You work through the necessary steps in
the data window on the right. Here, you set
parameters, select information and define
assignments to a user-specific, process-
oriented system topology.
The user interface is uncomplicated and
structured according to the task definition,
so as to enable intuitive working and to
simplify changes. The user interface assists
the editing process by displaying parameter
descriptions and messages when incorrect
parameters are entered.
In the tabular views for information
assignment and allocation to the system
topology, configuration is made easy by 14
extensive sorting and filtering mechanisms,
multiple choices and Drag & Drop.
To ensure data consistency and to avoid
redundant data input, SICAM PAS UI
provides extensive import and export
functions for the exchange of configura-
tion data, e.g. with the bay control level
and with process visualization.

Application

The following figures show the most im-

portant applications of the SIPROTEC
IO-Box 6MD61.
The configuration shown in Fig. 14/9 al-
lows direct GOOSE communication be-
tween the SIPROTEC 4 units (6MD66,
7SJ63) and the IO-Boxes, independent of
the substation controller. Of course, this
configuration is also possible without sub-
station controller. The IO-Box is used as
additional digital inputs and measure-
ments (measurements only with 6MD612),
and serves as an additional command out-
put.
The communication between IO-Box and
the substation controller is established by
using the IEC 61850 standard protocol. Fig. 14/9 Configuration with IO-Box in IEC 61850 substation

Fig. 14/10 shows a configuration in which

the IO-Box is used as a central process con-
nection in the cubicle of the substation
controller. For example, cubicle signaling
lamps or a signaling horn are controlled by
the command relays of the IO-Box.
Fig. 14/11 shows the communication for
substations with no Ethernet protocol
used. In this case, all communication lines
go directly to the substation controller. If
information from the IO-Box is used for
switchgear interlocking, the interlocking
logic must be part of the substation con-
troller.

Communication
With regard to communication between
components, particular emphasis is placed
on the SIPROTEC 4 functions required for
energy automation.

• Every data item is time-stamped at its

source, i.e. where it originates.
• Information is marked according to
where it originates from (e.g. if a com-
mand originates “local” or “remote”)
• The feedback to switching processes is
allocated to the commands.
• Communication processes the transfer
of large data blocks, e.g. file transfers,
independently. Fig. 14/18 Connection diagram of the switching devices (circuit-breaker 2 poles closed,

mand, the relevant signal is first ac-
knowledged in the unit executing the
command. A check-back indication is
issued after the command has been en-
abled (i.e. interlocking check, target =
actual check) and executed.
In addition to the communication inter-
faces on the rear of the unit, which are
equipped to suit the customer’s require-
ments, the front includes an RS232 inter-
face for connection of DIGSI. This is used
for quick diagnostics as well as for the
loading of parameters. DIGSI 4 can read
out and represent the entire status of the
unit online, thus making diagnostics and
documentation more convenient. It is in
principle possible to implement other
communication protocols upon request.

Control
The bay control units of the 6MD66 series
have command outputs and indication Fig. 14/19 2-pole connection diagram of circuit-breakers and disconnectors

Using the CFC (Continuous Function

Chart) available in all SIPROTEC 4 units,
the bay interlock conditions can, among
other things, be conveniently configured
graphically in the 6MD66 bay control unit.
The inter-bay interlock conditions can be
checked via the “inter-relay communica-
tion” (see next section) to other 6MD66
devices. With the introduction of
IEC 61850 communication, the exchange
of information for interlocking purposes is
also possible via Ethernet. This is handled
via the GOOSE message method. Possible
partners are all other bay devices or protec-
tion devices which support IEC 61850-
GOOSE message.
In the tests prior to command output, the
positions of both key-operated switches are
also taken into consideration. The upper
key-operated switch corresponds to the S5
function (local/remote switch), which is al-
ready familiar from the 8TK switchgear in- Fig. 14/20
terlock system. The lower key-operated Typical connection for 1½-pole control
switch effects the changeover to non-
interlocked command output (S1 func-
tion). In the position ”Interlocking Off”
the key cannot be withdrawn, with the re-
sult that non-operation of the configured
interlocks is immediately evident.
The precise action of the key-operated
switch can be set using the parameter
”switching authority”.
With the integrated function ”switchgear
interlocking” there is no need for an exter-
nal switchgear interlock device.
Furthermore, the following tests are imple-
mented (parameterizable) before the out-
put of a command:

• Target = Actual, i.e. is the switching de-

vice already in the desired position?
• Double command lockout, i.e. is an-
other command already running?
• Individual commands, e.g. earthing
control can additionally be secured us-
ing a code.

The bay control unit can, upon closing of

the circuit-breaker, check whether the syn-
chronization conditions of both partial
networks are met (synchro-check). Thus
an additional, external synchronization de-
vice is not required. The synchronization
conditions can be easily specified using the
configuration system DIGSI 4. The unit
differentiates between synchronous and
asynchronous networks and reacts differ-
ently upon connection:
In synchronous networks there are minor
differences with regard to phase angle and
voltage moduli and so the circuit-breaker
Fig. 14/21
response time does not need to be taken
Connection of the measured values for synchronization
into consideration. For asynchronous net-
works however, the differences are larger
and the range of the connection window is
traversed at a faster rate. Therefore it is
wise here to take the circuit-breaker re-
sponse time into consideration. The com-
mand is automatically dated in advance of
this time so that the circuit-breaker con-
tacts close at precisely the right time.
Fig. 14/21 illustrates the connection of the
voltages.
As is evident from Fig. 14/21, the synchro-
nization conditions are tested for one
phase. The important parameters for
synchronization are:
|Umin| < |U| < |Umax|
(Voltage modulus)

Δ < Δ max
(Angle difference) Fig. 14/22
Voltage selection for synchronization with duplicate busbar system
Δf < Δfmax
(Frequency difference)
Using the automation functions available
in the bay control unit, it is possible to
connect various reference voltages depend-
ing on the setting of a disconnector. Thus
in the case of a double busbar system, the
reference voltage of the active busbar can
be automatically used for synchronization
(see Fig. 14/22).
Alternatively the selection of the reference
14 voltage can also take place via relay switch-
ing, if the measurement inputs are already
being used for other purposes.

Synchronization
The bay control unit offers the option of
storing various parameter sets (up to eight)
for the synchronization function and of
selecting one of these for operation. Thus
the different properties of several circuit-
breakers can be taken into consideration.
These are then used at the appropriate

time. This is relevant if several circuit-
breakers with e.g. different response times
are to be served by one bay control unit.

Communication

Communication
The device is not only able to communicate
to the substation control level via standard
protocol like IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103
or others. It is also possible to communicate
with other bay devices or protection devices.
Two possibilities are available.
Inter-relay-communication
The function “inter-relay-communication”
enables the exchange of information direct-
ly between 6MD66 bay controller devices.
The communication is realized via Port “C”
of the devices, so it is independent from the
substation communication port “B”. Port
“C” is equipped with a RS485 interface. For
communication over longer distances, an
Fig. 14/28 Typical application: 1½ circuit-breaker method
external converter to fiber-optic cable can (disconnector and earthing switch not shown)
be used.
An application example for inter-relay-
communication is shown in Fig. 14/29.
Three 6MD66 devices are used for control
of a 1½ circuit-breaker bay. One device
is assigned to each of the three circuit-
breakers. By this means, the redundancy
of the primary equipment is also available
on the secondary side. Even if one circuit-

LSP2227f.tif
breaker fails, both feeders can be supplied.
Control over the entire bay is retained, even
if one bay control unit fails. The three bay Fig. 14/29 Connection matrix of inter-relay communication in DIGSI 4
control units use the inter-relay-communi-
cation for interchange of switchgear inter-
locking conditions. So the interlocking is
working completely independent from the
substation control level.
IEC 61850-GOOSE
With the communication standard
IEC 61850, a similar function like inter-
relay-communication is provided with
the “GOOSE” communication to other
IEC 61850-devices. Since the standard
IEC 61850 is used by nearly all SIPROTEC
devices and many devices from other sup-
pliers, the number of possible communi-
cation partners is large.
The applications for IEC 61850-GOOSE are
quite the same as for inter-relay-communi-
cation. The most used application is the
14 interchange of switchgear interlocking in-
formation between bay devices. GOOSE Fig. 14/30 Connection for IEC 61850-GOOSE communication
uses the IEC 61850 substation Ethernet, so
no separate communication port is needed.

Functions

The connection of the input channels can

be chosen without restriction. For the two-
wattmeter circuit, the interface connection
should be selected in accordance with
Fig. 14/33. The two-wattmeter circuit en-
ables the complete calculation of a
three-phase system with only two voltage
and two current transformers.

For internal metering, the unit can calcu-

late an energy metered value from the
measured current and voltage values. If an
external meter with a metering pulse out-
put is available, the bay control unit can
obtain and process metering pulses via an Fig. 14/33
indication input. Two-wattmeter circuit (connection to bay control unit)

The metered values can be displayed and

passed on to a master unit. A distinction is
made between forward, reverse, active and
reactive power (± kWh, ± kvarh).
With integrated logic, the user can set, via a
graphic interface (CFC, Continuous Func-
tion Chart), specific functions for the auto-
mation of switchgear or substation.
Functions are activated via function keys,
binary input or via communication inter-
face. Processing of internal indications or
measured values is also possible.
The switching authorization (control au-
thorization) (interlocked/non-interlocked,
corresponds to key-operated S1 in the 8TK
interlock system) and the switching au-
thority (local/remote, corresponds to
key-operated S5 for 8TK) can be preset for
the SIPROTEC 4 bay control unit using
key-operated switches. The position of
both keys is automatically evaluated by
command processing. The key for opera-
tion without interlocks cannot be removed
when in the position “non-interlocked”,
such that this mode of operation is imme-
diately recognizable (see also page 14/23,
14 Section “Switchgear interlockings”).
Every change in the key-operated switch

Functions
Auto-Reclosure (ANSI 79)
The 6MD66 is equipped with an
auto-reclosure function (AR). The func-
tion includes several operating modes:
• Interaction with an external device for
auto-reclosure via binary inputs and bi-
nary outputs; also possible with interac-
tion via IEC 61850-GOOSE
• Control of the internal AR function by
external protection
• 3-pole auto-reclosure for all types of
faults; different dead times are available
depending on the type of the fault
• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faults,
no reclosing for multi-phase faults
• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faults
and 2-phase faults, no reclosing for
multi-phase faults.
• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase and
3-pole auto-reclosure for multi-phase
faults
• 1-pole auto-reclosure for 1-phase faults
and 2-phase faults and 3-phase auto-
reclosure for multi-phase faults
• Multiple-shot auto-reclosure
• Interaction with the internal synchro-
check
• Monitoring of the circuit-breaker auxil-
iary contacts
In addition to the above-mentioned oper-
ating modes, several other operating prin-
ciples can be employed by means of the
integrated programmable logic (CFC).
Integration of auto-reclosure in the feeder
protection allows the line-side voltages to
be evaluated. A number of voltage-depend-
ent supplementary functions are thus
available:
• DLC
By means of dead-line-check (DLC),
reclosure is effected only when the line is
deenergized (prevention of asynchron-
ous breaker closure)
• ADT
The adaptive dead time (ADT) is em-
ployed only if auto-reclosure at the re-
mote station was successful (reduction
of stress on equipment).

DIGSI 4 Configuration tool

The PC program DIGSI 4 is used for the

convenient configuration of all SIPROTEC
4 units. Data exchange with the configura-
tion tool plusTOOLS of the energy auto-
mation system SICAM is possible, such
that the bay level information needs only
be entered once. Thus errors that could
arise as a result of duplicated entries are ex-
cluded.
DIGSI 4 offers the user a modern and intu-
itive Windows interface, with which the
units can be set and also read out.

The DIGSI 4 configuration matrix allows

the user to see the overall view of the unit
configuration at a glance (see Part 3,
Fig. 3/2). For example, all allocations of the
binary inputs, the output relays and the
LEDs are shown at a glance. And with one Fig. 14/35
click of the button, connections can be CFC plan for interlocking logic (example)
switched. Also the measuring and metering
values are contained in this matrix.

Special attention has been paid to commis-

sioning. All binary inputs and outputs can
be read and set directly. This can simplify
the wire checking process significantly for
the user.

CFC: Reduced time and planning for pro-

gramming logic
With the help of the CFC (Continuous
Function Chart), you can configure inter-
locks and switching sequences simply by
drawing the logic sequences; no special
knowledge of software is required. Logical
elements, such as AND, OR and time ele-
ments, measured limit values, etc. are
available.

Display editor
A convenient display editor is available to
design the display on SIPROTEC 4 units
(see Part 3, Fig. 3/6). The predefined sym-
bol sets can be expanded to suit the user.
Drawing a single-line diagram is extremely
14 simple. Operational measured values (ana-
log values) in the unit can be placed where
required.
In order to also display the comprehensive
plant of the high-voltage switchgear and
controlgear, the feeder control display of
the 6MD66 bay control unit can have a
number of pages.
