C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
First Steps
1.1 Unpacking, Repacking, Returning, and Storing

Unpacking a Device
NOTE
i Devices are tested prior to delivery. The test certificate is a component of the devices and can be called up
with DIGSI.
Devices are packed on site in a way that meets the requirements of standard ISO 2248.
² Check the packaging for external transport damage. Damaged packing may indicate that the devices
inside have also sustained damage.
² Unpack devices carefully; do not use force.
² Check the devices via a reception control to ensure they are in perfect mechanical condition.
² Check the enclosed accessories against the delivery note to make sure everything is complete.
² Keep the packing in case the devices must be stored or transported elsewhere.
² Return damaged devices to the manufacturer, stating the defect. Use the original packaging or transport
packaging that meets the requirements of standard ISO 2248.
Repacking a Device
² If you store devices after reception control, they must be packed in appropriate storage packaging.
² If the device is to be transported, pack it in transport packaging.
² Enclose the accessories supplied and the test certificate in the package with the device.
Returning a Device
² Return devices to the manufacturer, stating the defect. Use the original packaging or transport packaging
that meets the requirements of the standard ISO 2248. Send damaged devices to the following address:
Siemens AG
EM DG PRO MF Rückwaren
Rohrdamm 7
13629 Berlin
Germany
² Ensure that the devices are either shipped with the original current and voltage terminals or, alternatively
– if the wired terminals are to remain in the system – with the designated transport safety devices.
If there are green single-row voltage terminals, it is irrelevant in terms of transport whether or not they
are plugged in. They do not require any alternative transport safety device.
² Protect the optical interfaces on the communication or arc protection modules against the ingress of
dust. Use, for example, the protective caps provided in the delivery condition.
Storing a Device
² Only store devices on which you have carried out an incoming inspection, This action ensures that the
warranty remains valid. The incoming inspection is described in the Operating manual.
² SIPROTEC devices must be stored in rooms, which are clean and dry. Devices or associated replacement
modules must be stored at a temperature of -25 °C to +55 °C.
² The relative humidity must be at a level where condensed water and ice are prevented from forming.
² Siemens recommends that you observe a restricted storage temperature range of +10°C to +35°C, in
order to prevent the electrolytic capacitors used in the power supply from aging prematurely.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
First Steps
² If the device has been in storage for more than 2 years, connect it to an auxiliary voltage for 1 to 2 days.
This action will cause the electrolytic capacitors to form on the printed circuit board assemblies again.
² If devices are to be shipped elsewhere, you can reuse the transport packaging. When using different
packaging, you must ensure that the transport requirements according to ISO 2248 are met. Storage
packing of the individual devices is not adequate for transport purposes.
² The lithium batteries contained in SIPROTEC devices meet all international requirements of the hazardous
goods specifications for the various carriers (Special Provision 188 of the UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods, Special Provision A45 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and the
ICAO Technical Instructions). This action only applies to the original battery or genuine replacement
batteries.
Battery Disposal
NOTICE
Battery disposal
² Batteries can only be replaced by ones of the same type or by batteries of another type recommended
by the manufacturer. Replacing with the wrong type can cause an explosion hazard. Comply with the
relevant national/international regulations when disposing of batteries.
² The lithium battery contained in the device can only be replaced by skilled personnel.
² Only replace the battery with VARTA or Panasonic CR 2032 or BR 2032 batteries. If you use a different
type of battery, this can cause a fire or explosion hazard. Observe the safety notes in the manual.
² Caution: The battery used in the device can cause fire or chemical burns if handled improperly. Do not
recharge it, take it apart, or subject it to a temperature in excess of 100 °C.
² Replace dead batteries immediately and keep them out of reach of children.

Device Protection
! DANGER
Danger when connecting the SIPROTEC 5 device
Noncompliance with the safety notes will result in death, severe injury or considerable material
damage.
² The device must be situated in the operating area for at least 2 hours before you connect it to the
power supply for the first time. This prevents condensate from forming in the device.
² If the device has been in storage for more than 2 years, connect it to an auxiliary voltage for 1 to
2 days. This will cause the electrolytic capacitors to form on the printed circuit-board assemblies again.
² Perform the electrical inspection.
Activating the Battery
NOTE
i The battery is covered by a protective film, which also prevents premature discharge.
The battery compartment is located on the rear of the base module. You do not have to take the battery
out of the compartment in order to remove the protective film.
² Pull out the battery compartment including the battery.

² Remove the protective film from the battery by simply pulling on the film tab.
² Push the battery compartment including the battery back in again.
Grounding a Device
The SIPROTEC 5 devices are protection class I equipment must be connected with the system ground prior to
commissioning.
² Ground each module with solid low-impedance system grounding (cross-section ≥ 4.0 mm2
(≥ 0.0062 in2), grounding area ≥ M4, torque: at least 1.2 Nm).
² To ensure the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the device, Siemens recommends fitting the
neutral point of the grounding to the base module.
Connecting a Device
² Connect all cables and lines. Use the connection diagrams in the Hardware and Device manuals.
² Tighten the terminal screws to the prescribed torques .
Grounding an On-Site Operation Panel

² Join several on-site operation panels to one another with firm contact.
Siemens recommends the use of contact washers on painted metal mounting walls. If the mounting wall
is not metallic, place a metal layer, for example a metal sheet, between the mounting wall and the on-
site operation panels. Then connect this sheet to the system grounding.

6.1 General
6.1 General
DIGSI 5 is the engineering and operating tool for all SIPROTEC 5 devices. With DIGSI 5, you create system
topologies, configure hardware and communication networks and perform many other tasks.
You carry out all engineering tasks offline from your PC without needing a SIPROTEC 5 device. You transfer all
data online to the device later – for example, directly via a communication network or the USB interface. For
communication between DIGSI 5 and the SIPROTEC 5 device, secure TCP-IP connections are used.
Operation of DIGSI in version 5 is even more user-friendly. Project tree, editors, libraries and property window
are integrated smoothly into a common interface. You can adjust this interface to your operation.
Project, Project View and Project Navigation

After starting DIGSI 5; you are shown the project view. It is initially empty and fills up with content as soon as
you create a new project or open an existing one.
[scproans-110413-01.tif, 1, en_US]
Figure 6-1 Example of a Project View
DIGSI 5 manages all components of a system and all associated data depending on the project. The following
values are summarized under one project name (extract):
• Topology
• Devices
• Setting values
• Communication settings
• Process data
That means you must open a project file and thus have all data available. Vice versa you save all changes of
any type with only one mouse click.
On the interface you see a project with symbols that are integrated into a hierarchical project structure. These
symbols represent:

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018

8.4 Indications
8.4 Indications
8.4.1 General
During operation, indications deliver information about operational states. These include:
• Measured data
• Power-system data
• Device supervisions
• Device functions
• Function procedures during testing and commissioning of the device

In addition, indications give an overview of important fault events after a failure in the system. All indications
are furnished with a time stamp at the time of their occurrence.
Indications are saved in logs inside the device and are available for later analyses. The following number of
indications are saved at least in the respective buffer (depending on the scope of the indications):
• Ground-fault log 100 indications
• Fault log 1000 indications
• User-defined log 200 indications
• Operational log 2000 indications
• Motor-starting log 200 indications

If the maximum capacity of the user-defined log or of the operational log is exhausted, the oldest entries
disappear before the newest entries. If the maximum capacity of the fault log or of the ground-fault log is
reached, the number of the last fault is output via the signal Fault log is full. You can route this signal in the
information routing. If indications in the information routing of DIGSI 5 are routed to a log, then they are also
saved. During a supply-voltage failure, recorded data are securely held by means of battery buffering or
storage in the flash memory. You can read and analyze the log from the device with DIGSI 5. The device
display and navigation using keys allow you to read and analyze the logs on site.
Indications can be output spontaneously via the communication interfaces of the device and through external
request via general interrogation. In DIGSI 5, indications can be tracked spontaneously during online mode in
a special indication window. Indications can be made accessible to higher-level control systems through
mapping on various communication protocols.
NOTE
i All indications are assigned to certain device functions. The text of each indication contains the corre-
sponding function designation. You will find explanations of the meaning of indications in the corre-
sponding device functions. However, you can also define indications yourself and group them into your
own function blocks. These can be set by binary inputs or CFC logic.
Reading Indications
To read the indications of your SIPROTEC 5 device you can use the on-site operation panel of the device or a PC
on which you have installed DIGSI 5. The subsequent section describes the general procedure.
8.4.2 Reading Indications on the On-Site Operation Panel
Procedure
The menus of the logs begin with a header and 2 numbers at the top right corner of the display. The number
after the slash signifies the number of indications that are available. The number before the slash indicates
how many indications have just been selected or shown. The end of the indication list is closed with the entry

Figure 8-8 Displaying Spontaneous Device Indications in DIGSI 5
8.4.6 Spontaneous Fault Display on the On-Site Operation Panel
After a fault, the most important data of the last fault can be displayed automatically on the device display
without further operational measures. In SIPROTEC 5 devices, protected objects and even circuit breakers can
be freely created and configured depending on the application (even several instances). In DIGSI 5, several
spontaneous fault displays can be configured, depending on the application, with each individual one being
assigned a particular circuit breaker. These displays remain stored in the device until they are manually
confirmed or reset by LED reset.
Configuration of a Spontaneous Fault Display with DIGSI 5
• To reach the Fault-display configuration of your SIPROTEC 5 device, use the project-tree window.
Project → Device → Display pages → Fault-display configuration
• In the main window, all configured circuit breakers are displayed. A list of a maximum of 6 configurable
display lines is offered for each circuit breaker. The activation of a spontaneous fault display occurs for
each circuit breaker by selection via checkmark in the column Display.
• With the parameter (_:139) Fault-display (under Device → Parameter → Device settings) you
determine whether spontaneous fault displays should be displayed for each pickup or only pickups with
the trip command.

Acknowledgement of the Spontaneous Fault Display on the Device

After faults, the last occurred fault is always displayed to you. In cases where more than one circuit breaker is
configured, several stored fault displays can be present after faults, with the latest being displayed. These
displays remain stored in the device until they are manually acknowledged or reset by LED reset.
[scstfanz-090413-01.tif, 1, en_US]
Figure 8-10 Spontaneous Fault Display on the Device
Method 1: Manual acknowledgement

• Press the softkey button Quit in the base bar of the display. The display is irretrievably closed. Repeat this
step until no spontaneous fault display appears anymore.
• After completion of all confirmations the last display view is showed before the faults.
Method 2: Acknowledgement via LED reset
• An LED reset (device) causes the reset of all stored LEDs and binary output contacts of the device and also
to the confirmation of all fault displays stored in the display.
You can find more details on the topic of LED reset in chapter 8.4.7 Stored Indications in the SIPROTEC 5
Device
8.4.7 Stored Indications in the SIPROTEC 5 Device
In your SIPROTEC 5 device, you can also configure indications as stored. This type of configuration can be
used for LEDs as well as for output contacts. The configured output (LED or contact) is activated until it is
acknowledged. Acknowledgment occurs via:
• On-site operation panel
• DIGSI 5
• Binary input
• Protocol of substation automation technology
Configuration of Stored Indications with DIGSI 5

In the Information Routing of each device set up in DIGSI 5, you can route binary signals, among others, to
LEDs and output contacts.
• To do this, proceed in the project tree to:
Project → Device → Information routing
• Right-click the routing field of your binary indication in the desired LED or binary output column in the
routing range of the targets.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
8.4 Indications
You are offered the following options:
Table 8-5 Overview of Routing Options
Routing Options LEDs BOs BIs Description

H (active) X The signal is routed as active with voltage.
L (active) X The signal is routed as active without voltage.
V (unlatched) X X The signal is routed as unlatched. Activation and reset of
the output (LED, BA) occurs automatically via the binary-
signal value.
G (latched) X X The binary signal is latched when the output (LED) is acti-
vated. To reset, a targeted confirmation must occur.
NT (conditioned latching) X Fault indications are stored during control of the output
(LED) as a function of the parameter (_:91:139)
Fault-display. In the event of a new fault, the previ-
ously stored states are reset.
• If the fault gets terminated via a trip command from
the assigned circuit breaker, the status of an indication
remains as latched with the setting option with
trip. Without a trip command, the status is displayed
before the fault (if necessary, the status of the last
fault) is restored.
• With the setting option with pickup the current
indication image of a pickup gets stored. The image
comprises all indications of functions that are effective
in the event of tripping on the same circuit breaker,
like the picked up function.
The following applies to the busbar protection:
• If the fault gets terminated via a trip command, the
status of an indication remains as latched with the
setting option with trip.
This occurs separately for the following tripping cases:
– Trippings caused by busbar protection (busbar
differential protection, busbar tripping following
a circuit-breaker failure protection trip in the bay
or busbar tripping due to external tripping)
– Trippings caused by functions within the corre-
sponding bay (for example, end-fault protection,
circuit-breaker failure protection trip repeat or
overcurrent protection)
• With the setting option with pickup, the current
indication image is saved using the same rules as with
the setting with trip but together with the pickup
of the protection function.
TL (stored only with tripping) X Routing option TL (tripping stored) is only possible for the
switching object circuit breaker.
The output is saved with protection tripping. The contact
remains activated until acknowledged.
Control commands are not affected. A control command is
pending above the parameterized command period until
feedback has been successfully received.
Note:
You can realize the functionality of the Lockout (ANSI 86)
by storing the output relay with the routing option TL.

You can initiate acknowledgment of stored indications also via communication through a connected substa-
tion automation technology system. This can occur in conformance to standards (IEC 61850,
IEC 60870-5-103) or via configuration (mapping) of the LED reset input signal for any protocol. Stored LEDs,
output contacts, and spontaneous fault displays are reset.
NOTE
i As long as there are no active unstored indications present at the output contacts and configured LEDs, the
acknowledgment of stored indications leads to a reset of the LEDs and output contacts.
8.4.9 Test Mode and Influence of Indications on Substation Automation Technology
If the test mode of the device or of individual functions is switched on, the SIPROTEC 5 device marks indica-
tions sent to substation automation technology station control system with an additional test bit. This test bit
makes it possible to determine that an indication was set during a test. Necessary reactions in normal opera-
tion on the basis of an indication can thus be suppressed.

8.5.3 Fault Log
Fault indications are events which arise during a fault. They are logged in the fault log with real-time stamp
and relative-time stamp (reference point: fault occurrence) . Faults are numbered consecutively in rising order.
With fault recording engaged, a corresponding fault record with the same number exists for every fault logged
in the fault log. A maximum of 128 fault logs can be stored. A maximum of 1000 indications can be recorded
in each fault log.
Fault Definition
In general, a fault is started by the raising pickup of a protection function and ends with the cleared pickup
after the trip command.
When using an automatic reclosing function, the complete reclosing cycle (successful or unsuccessful) is pref-
erably integrated into the fault. If evolving faults appear within reclosing cycles, the entire clearing process is
logged under one fault number even in multiple pickup cycles. Without automatic reclosing function every
pickup is also recorded as its own fault.
User-defined configuration of a fault is also possible.
NOTE
i The definition of the fault is done through settings of the fault recording (see Device manual). Events are
logged in the fault log even when fault recording is switched off.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
8.5 Logs
Apart from the recording of fault indications in the fault log, spontaneous display of fault indications of the
last fault on the device display is also done. You will find details about this in chapter 8.4.6 Spontaneous Fault
Display on the On-Site Operation Panel.

Selected application templates and functions from the library already bring a predefined set of operational
indications with them which you can adjust individually at any time.
The operational measured values and the measured values of the fundamental components and symmetrical
components (see Equipment Manual) are calculated every 9 cycles (at 50 Hz, this is every 180 ms). However,
this can mean that the data are not synchronized with the sampled values of the analog channels. The
recording of these measured values can be used to analyze the slowly changing processes.
8.5.4 Ground-Fault Log
Ground-fault indications are events which arise during a ground fault. They are logged in the ground-fault log
with real-time stamp and relative-time stamp (reference point: ground-fault occurrence) . Ground faults are
numbered consecutively in rising order. A maximum of 10 ground-fault logs are stored and for each ground-
fault log it is guaranteed that at least 100 indications are recorded.
The following functions can start the logging of a ground fault with the raising ground-fault indication:
• Directional sensitive ground-fault protection for deleted and isolated systems (67Ns)
• Sensitive ground current protection with I0 (50Ns/51Ns)
• Intermittent ground-fault protection

The logging ends with the going ground-fault indication.

8.5.12 Saving and Deleting the Logs
Deleting the logs of the device in the operating state is unnecessary. If storage capacity is no longer sufficient
for new indications, the oldest indications are automatically overwritten with new incoming events. In order
for the memory to contain information about the new faults in the future, for example, after an inspection of
the system, a deletion of the log makes sense. Resetting the logs is done separately for the various logs.
NOTE
i Before you delete the content of a log on your SIPROTEC 5 device, save the log with DIGSI 5 on the hard
disk drive of your PC.
NOTE
i Not all logs of your SIPROTEC 5 device can be deleted. These limitations apply especially to logs with rele-
vance for security and after-sales (security log, device-diagnosis log, setting-history log).
NOTE
i Upon deletion of the fault log, the associated fault records are also deleted. In addition, the meters for fault
number and fault-record number are reset to 0. In contrast, if you delete fault records, the content of the
fault log, including the allocated fault numbers, remains.
NOTE
i If the device executes an initial start, for example, after an update of the device software, the following
logs are automatically deleted:
• Operational log
• Fault log
• Ground-fault log
• Setting-history log
• User log
• Motor-startup log

8.6.2 Reading Measured Values and Metered Values
You can read measured and metered values on the device display or with DIGSI 5. You can find these values in
the respective function groups such as the Line function group. Take note that the scope of measured values
is determined by the type and number of assigned measuring points. If only one measuring point, for example
3-phase current, is assigned to the function group, then all measured values linked to the voltage (voltage,
power, energy) are omitted. These measured values are hidden automatically.
In the following, you will find an example how to reach the individual measured or metered values.

8.7 Fault Recording
8.7 Fault Recording
8.7.1 General
Fault data relates to events or records that are recorded during a device fault. Sampled values of analog meas-
urement inputs and calculated measured values of the device are recorded in the fault recording. A fault
record can also used for recording binary events as traces. Fault events are logged with time stamp in the fault
log. A corresponding fault exists in the fault log for each recorded fault record. The unique assignment is
formed by the time stamp and the fault defined with an automatically incrementing number.
After a fault the most important data of the fault is spontaneously shown on your device display. You can
select whether the spontaneous fault display is updated with each fault or only in case of faults with tripping
(no Trip – no Flag). Spontaneous fault displays such as LEDs fall back again in case of pickup without tripping.
NOTE
i Events are always logged in the fault log.
The control settings of the fault recording are described in the Device manual. The starting condition,
recording length, and the storage criterion are selected with these parameters.
You can rename the signals in the DIGSI information routing matrix. You can change the order of the binary
signals and measured-value channels to be recorded in DIGSI under Signal sequence. For further information,
you will find help in DIGSI 5 version V07.50 and higher (ordering number: C53000-D5000-C001-D). The
following chapter describes the readout and editing of fault records.
Fault Definition
A fault is started by the incoming pickup of a protection function and ends after the trip command with the
cleared pickup.
When using an automatic reclosing function, the full reclosing cycle (successful or not) is integrated in the
fault. If evolving faults appear within reclosing cycles, the entire clearing process is logged under one fault
number even in multiple pickup cycles. Without automatic reclosing function every pickup is also recorded as
its own fault.
User-defined fault configuration and initiation by an external starting signal are also possible.
NOTE
i • Define the extent of the fault recordings using the control settings of the Fault recording function.
• Logging of events in the fault log always occurs.
8.7.2 Reading Fault Records
You can read out the fault record recorded in the device via the communication interfaces. You can do this
from a PC with DIGSI 5 or by way of standard (IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103) from a central controller upon
request. The fault records read out via DIGSI 5 are saved on the PC in the COMTRADE format. You can analyze
the fault records with the analytical software SIGRA.
Procedure
• Use the project-tree window to reach the fault records of your SIPROTEC 5 device.
Project → Device → Records
The fault records that have been loaded from the device to date are displayed with time stamps and fault
numbers.
• To read all fault records stored in the device, click the Read records button in the headline of the indica-
tion list.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
8.7 Fault Recording
NOTE
i • Take note that when accessing via online access points the fault records read replace all fault records
previously shown in the window. If you wish to save special fault records, then export the fault
records (see chapter 8.5.12 Saving and Deleting the Logs).
• When accessing via a device created in the project, older fault records no longer in the device remain
kept. If you wish to delete no longer needed fault records, read chapter 8.5.12 Saving and Deleting
the Logs).

8.7 Fault Recording
8.7.5 Deleting Fault Records
The recorded fault records are managed in a ring buffer in the device. So that new records can always be
created securely, the oldest records are deleted automatically when the maximum storage capacity is reached.
However, you can also delete targeted fault records. This differentiates whether you wish to delete the fault
records stored or selected in the device in a DIGSI 5 project.
Deleting Fault Records via the PC with DIGSI 5
• To delete the fault records stored in the device, click the Delete fault records button in the headline of
the display window (Figure 8-39 c)).
• You can delete selected fault records within a DIGSI 5 project. To do this, tag the respective fault records
and right-click with the mouse. Complete the delete action with the offered Delete option.
NOTE
i Recorded events of corresponding faults in the fault log are also deleted with the fault records.
8.7.6 Recording a Test Fault Record
For test purposes, SIPROTEC 5 devices can record fault records of fixed length. You must manually initiate this
recording from the PC via DIGSI 5. The recording length of the test fault records is independent and is set to 1
second.
Procedure
• To start a test fault record, click the Start fault record button in the headline of the display window
(Figure 8-39 d)). Then read the current fault records to view and analyze them from your SIPROTEC 5
device.
8.7.7 Configuration of Fault-Record Channels
While the Fault Recording function contains the control settings for recording data, you must configure the
channels to be recorded with DIGSI 5 in the configuration matrix. Every application template contains a preset
configuration of channels to be recorded that you can adjust individually.
Fault-Record Channels
The following values are available for fault-record channels:
• Sampled values of analog measuring inputs (currents and voltages)
• Internal measured values of measured value preprocessing
• Internal function and operational measured values
• Binary status signals (internal or external)

Fault-record channels are configured in the information routing of DIGSI 5 (matrix). The Recorder column is
provided especially for this purpose.

[sccnfrec-080413-01.tif, 1, en_US]
Figure 8-40 Configuration of Fault-Record Channels with DIGSI 5
NOTE
i The sampled values of analog measuring inputs (currents and voltages) are not freely configurable in the
fault record. The values are specified automatically by the routing of measuring points to the analog input
modules of the device.
NOTE
i The maximum recording length of an individual fault record and the sum of fault records stored in the
device are affected by the following factors:
• Sampling rate setting
• Number of fault-record channels
• Type of fault-record channels

The Fault Recording chapter in the device manual gives an overview of attainable recording times.
8.7.8 Configuration of the Start Criterion
The start criterion for recording a fault record and the duration of a fault record are determined by the control
settings in the Fault Recording function. Read the Fault Recording chapter in the Device manual of your
SIPROTEC 5 device.
Start Criterion
A start criterion is the fault which is formed by the pickups of protection functions and which also takes
account of a reclosing cycle duration during the respective parameter setting.
• You can configure the start criterion for each parameter setting using your own user definitions. A
Recorder column especially provided for this purpose is then displayed in the information routing of
DIGSI 5 (matrix).

Figure 8-41 User-Defined Configuration of the Start Criterion for Fault Recording
• You can also set parameters for the start criterion via an external start signal in the Fault recorder func-
tion. >External start). With this you can, for example, initiate recording of a fault record using an
external protection device without internal fault recording in case of pickup.
• A test fault record can also be initiated manually and directly via the on-site operation panel of the device
(for example, via function key) or via DIGSI 5. For this, a freely configurable starting signal (>Manual
start) is available.
[scmnstrt-051016-01, 1, en_US]

8.8.9 Settings Group Switching
For different applications you can save the respective function settings in so-called Settings groups, and if
necessary enable them quickly.
You can save up to 8 different settings groups in the device. In the process, only one settings group is active at
any given time. During operation, you can switch between settings groups. The source of the switchover can
be selected via a parameter.
You can switchover the settings groups via the following alternatives:
• Via the on-site operation panel directly on the device
• Via an online DIGSI connection to the device
• Via binary inputs
• Via a communication connection to the substation automation technology

The communication protocols IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, DNP or Modbus TCP can be
used for switching the settings groups.
A settings group includes all switchable settings of the device. Except for a few exceptions (for example,
general device settings such as rated frequency), all device settings can be switched.
This section assumes multiple configured settings groups, and only describes the switching process. The func-
tion and their setting parameters are described in the chapter Settings Group Switching in the Device
manual.
Settings Group Switching via DIGSI 5

Use the project-tree window to initiate settings group switching on your SIPROTEC 5 device. Settings group
switching can be initiated both via the project (offline) and via the online access point.
NOTE
i Bear in mind that the settings group in the project is switched by loading the DCF into the device. This
causes an automatic device restart (reset). If you make other functional changes at the same time, a device
restart may also occur in online mode or at the on-site operation panel. Switching without interrupting
device operation may be performed only with online access.

Settings Group Switching via Binary Inputs

To switch a settings groups via binary inputs on your SIPROTEC 5 device, you first have to set the Settings
group activation setting to via binary input.
You must also have configured the binary input signals that are necessary for switching the settings group to
the contacts of your device. You will find these in DIGSI 5 under:
Project → Device → Information routing → General → >PG Selection Bit 3/Bit 2/Bit 1
100 ms after one of the 3 signals is changed (stabilization time), the signal image present will lead to a
switching to the corresponding settings group. The following table shows the possible binary codes (BCD) and

Settings Group Switching via Control

When using the Control function for switching, the settings groups can be switched via a communication
connection from the substation automation technology or via a CFC chart.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
The communication protocols IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, DNP or Modbus TCP can be used
for switching the settings groups via a communication connection.
In order to use a CFC chart for switching, you must create a new CFC chart in DIGSI 5. Create the CFC chart in
the DIGSI 5 project tree under Name of the device → Charts → Add new chart. Link the signals that control
settings group switching in the CFC chart.
NOTE
i The device starts in this mode after a DCF upload (offline mode) with active settings group 1. The device is
only informed of a settings group change via the substation automation technology. As long as the substa-
tion automation technology command is pending, protection runs using the settings from active settings
group 1.
If the Control mode is changed in online mode (settings changes via DIGSI 5 or the on-site operation
panel), the device continues to run with the last active settings group. If a substation automation tech-
nology command for a settings group change is sent or the mode for settings group switching is changed,
this state ends. In the case of a device warm start, the device starts in the mode of the most recently active
settings group.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
8.9 Control System on Site
8.9.1 General
You can execute switching device control via a connected substation automation system and through DIGSI 5.
You can also control the device directly via the keyboard. The large graphic display is best suited for this
purpose but control is also possible with the small display.
Operation of switching devices is subject to different safety tests such as switching authority and switchgear
interlocking protection-function test. You will find a detailed description of these functions in the Device
manual in the chapter Control Functions. To facilitate access to on-site control only for authorized persons,
you can set parameters of a confirmation ID using DIGSI 5.
8.9.2 Menu Structure
If you go to the main menu of the device and select the Control menu item, you get the following submenu:

Switching Switching authority = Display of current switching authority. If the device does not
authority Local have a key switch, a change dialog is displayed and you can
enter the change via the device keyboard. If the device has a
key switch, the Switching authority menu bar is static and a
change can be made only via the key switch.

8.9.3 Switching Authority
The switching authority ensures that simultaneous control can be done only from one command source. For
example, you must prevent a switching command from being executed by the control center during field
work. To do this, you must set the switching authority to Local. SIPROTEC 5 recognizes the following
switching authorities:
• Local
• Remote/station
• Remote/control center
The Remote/station switching authority level was redefined in IEC 61850. You can deactivate the switching
authority in the device. Full support for this level is ensured only in devices with the IEC 61850 protocol.
The Remote/control center switching authority is normally used as the remote switching authority. You can
change the switching authority from Local to Remote Using the top key switch. You can also set this switch-
over in devices without the key switch after entering the confirmation ID.
8.9.4 Switching Mode

8.9.7 Acquisition Blocking and Manual Updating
During commissioning, maintenance, or testing, a brief interruption of the connection between the logical
signals and binary inputs may be useful. It allows you to manually update the status of a switching device that
is not providing feedback correctly. Before this can take place, you must first set acquisition blocking.
To set the acquisition blocking, proceed as follows:
• Using the navigation keys, move in the main menu of the device display to
Commands→Equipment→Aq.blkman. update.
• Select the appropriate device (for example, a circuit breaker) from among the several switching devices
using the navigation keys.
• Press the Change softkey.
• Enter the confirmation ID (not relevant for active role-based access control (RBAC) in the device).
• Confirm the process with the softkey marked OK in the display.

After entering the confirmation ID (only with the RBAC inactive), acquisition blocking is switched on.

NOTE
i Setting acquisition blocking and the subsequent manual updating are also possible via the IEC 61850
system interface.
You can also set acquisition blocking via a binary input. If you want to put the feeder or the switching device
in revision, you can set the acquisition blocking for an individual or several switching devices with an external
toggle switch. For this purpose, every switching device in the Switch function block (circuit breaker or discon-
nector switch) has the input signal >Acquisition blocking. This signal can also be set from the CFC.

Updating on the Switching Device
NOTE
i Interlockings are carried out with the status changes of the switching device. Remove acquisition blocking
again manually. Otherwise, position changes of the switching device are not detected and interlockings are
ineffective.
If the acquisition blocking and the manually updated position are set using the operation panel of the device
or the system interface IEC 61850, these are retained until the acquisition blocking is manually deactivated.
When you initially start the device, the acquisition blocking is deactivated.
Except for a restart, the acquisition blocking and the manually updated position are retained.
If the acquisition blocking is activated via the input signal >Acquisition blocking, it is retained as long as
the binary input is active.
To set the acquisition blocking of a switching device, the following sources are possible:
• Operation panel of the device
• System interface IEC 61850
• Input signal >Acquisition blocking

All sources undergo OR operations, that is, the acquisition blocking remains set until all the sources are deacti-
vated.
After deactivation of the acquisition blocking, the actual position of the switching device is adopted and
displayed in the operation panel of the device.
NOTE
i When the acquisition blocking is activated or the switching device updated manually while the entire
device or the switching device is in test mode, these states are not saved. The acquisition blocking and the
manual updating are not retained after a restart.
The acquisition blocking and the manual update for the circuit breaker, the disconnector, and the tap changer
are reset by way of the >Reset AcqBlk&Subst binary input. Setting acquisition blocking and manual
update is blocked with the input activated.
8.9.8 Status Display
You reach the following display through the Status menu item:

At this point you can observe or vary the current status.
NOTE
i To change the state of a marker (from On to Off or vice versa), you need to enter the confirmation ID for
control.
8.9.10 Assignment of Authorizations with Confirmation ID
Authorization for sensitive operations in the on-site operation panel is done by the assignment of confirmation
IDs (see also chapter 11.4 Confirmation ID).
Figure 8-73 shows an example of a device without a key switch. For devices with key switches, the confirma-
tion IDs are not required for non-interlocked switching and for the switching authority. These are replaced by
the corresponding key switches for non-interlocked control and for local switching authority.

If you have activated a connection password for the device, you must enter it in the corresponding dialog.
After correct password entry, the connection between DIGSI 5 and device is established. In case of wrong
entry, the connection is not established.
If you have configured a confirmation ID with DIGSI 5, this is queried when you access the individual test func-
tions. Enter here the corresponding 6-digit number.
You will find details for configuring the password and the confirmation ID in chapter 11.6 Authentication,
Connection Password, and Confirmation ID During Operation of this manual.
If the connection between DIGSI 5 and the device is interrupted during a test function, re-establish the
connection to the device. Then do a reset on the device with DIGSI 5. If no connection can be established,
then do the reset directly on the device through the on-site operation panel. After successful reset, the device
is now in a normal operating state 9.3.3 Initializing Device and Verifying Basic Status.

9.2.2 Testing Current and Voltage Inputs
If you click in the project tree according to Figure 9-1 on the menu item Analog inputs , a representation visu-
alizing for you the current values of the measuring points existing in the device appears in an editor. On the
left side you will see the phasor diagram for 3-phase analog inputs (absolute value and phase). To the right
the measured values are displayed as numerical values. The primarily measured values for voltage and current
are shown as indicators of absolute value and phase. The reference is the voltage in phase A of measuring
point 1. If no voltage is connected, the current in phase A of measuring point 1 is the reference. All indicated
phasor values refer to the reference quantities.
You can identify and verify the following errors with measured-value control:
• Turner in the analog wiring
• Vector group
• Direction between current and voltage

Devices connected via effective connections can also represent analog measuring points of remote ends as
phasors. In this case, the phasors of measuring points of up to 6 remote ends are shown. For example, the
stability of a line differential protection can thus be verified.

Test procedure:

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
Commissioning
• Feed the test quantities to the terminals (for example, exchange terminals in the control cabinet) using
multiphase test equipment. Siemens recommends a test with the rated values and the infeed of current
and voltage in phase. The test functions from 10 % of the rated quantity.
• Check the measuring result in the DIGSI 5 operating program (absolute value and phase). Make use of
the phasor diagram as well as the indicated measured values. Check phase displacement between
voltage and current as well.
• In the event of implausibility, first check the proper connection of the test equipment and the angle
between voltage and current set in it. Then check the wiring to the device as well as the settings (for
examle, under Power-system data).
Figure 9-3 shows you the result of a successful test on a device which has 4 voltage and current inputs.
NOTE
i To check the wiring between device and connected transformers, Siemens recommends that this test be
done on the system with primary measured signals. This allows you to check the correct connection of
secondary circuit completely.
NOTE
i The device remains in commissioning mode until you set the device in the process mode consciously or
until the internal monitoring time (statement of time) has expired. You reach the process mode by clicking
the link in the upper right of the working area. The settings sheet Device information opens. Go to Device
mode to set the device in process mode.
You can execute more tests in this mode.
9.2.3 Testing Protection Functions
The purpose of this test is to verify the correct setting of protection functions and the routing of signals. To do
this, you can feed the test signals with test equipment. Digital test equipment offers you multiple test
programs and test sequences.
NOTE
i Simulation mode is indicated by flashing of the top line of the device display.
NOTE
i If you only want to select a graphical representation of a protection function, all available and active
protection functions of your SIPROTEC 5 device are checked.
Simple tests can also be done via simulation mode on the device and DIGSI 5 interaction. To do this, use
DIGSI 5 to generate test sequences which are then executed in the device without the need for external test
equipment and which simulate the change in values on the inputs.
• Click the Test sequences folder in the project tree.
• Open this folder by double-clicking.
Under the Create test sequence menu item create your test sequence which, for example, consists of 3 steps:
the pre-fault, the short circuit and the post-fault. You can save the created sequence and use it for other tests.
You will also find the stored sequence under the Test sequences folder. Sequences can be copied between
devices that have the same measuring points.
Figure 9-4 shows you the editor for creating test sequences. You can enter a name (for example, pre-fault,
post-fault) for every test step. You can set the duration of the current test sequence, as well as the duration of
a ramp. You can define amount and phase angle for each phase of a measuring point. You can select the
frequency in 3 phases for each measuring point.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
Commissioning
Additionally you can define a ramp for each phase via amplitude, phase or frequency via the ramp functions.
You can still define 3 various harmonic superimpositions per phase. This allows the setting of ramps within
one test step. If additional binary inputs are effective, you can adjust that in the section below. Using a hook
tag which binary input is active during the test step. If a voltage (corresponds logically to 1) is present, the
binary input is active.

Figure 9-4 Creating a Test Sequence
You can a use created test sequence, for example, for a protection function test. Start a test sequence in the
protection function test editor in DIGSI 5. You can also start a test sequence through a binary input of the
device. By starting through a binary input you can play back test sequences in several devices simultaneously.
You lay down the start criterion for the device using DIGSI 5 Figure 9-5. The test quantities are fed as sampled
values directly into the functions of the device by bypassing the analog and binary inputs. Before starting a
sequence DIGSI 5 switches the device to a simulation mode that activates the internal signal generator.
To check a protection function systematically, click again in the project tree the Test button and open the
Protection function test menu item. You are offered the existing protection functions and you can select
which protection function is tested. The characteristic curve of the protection function appears in the oper-
ating range (see Figure 9-5). The measured values are displayed in color in the characteristic curve and the list
of spontaneous indications is updated simultaneously. Feeding through a test sequence is done in this simula-
tion mode where the protection functions work with the calculated sampled values of the sequence.
Switching to an internal sequence is done in DIGSI 5. The designated sequence is selected (it must first have
been configured offline), loaded into the device and its progress activated.
A SIPROTEC 5 device has numerous protection and supervision functions that work in parallel. For the tests
switch some or only the function to be tested. For this purpose, a test aid that greatly simplifies the test for
you was set up in SIPROTEC 5.
The protection functions have indirectly the same setting as when you switch the mode to Test in the func-
tion. In this state, the protection function is active. In addition, a test bit is generated and transmitted with
every indication. In the Test setting the routed relay in the device is not activated and the circuit breaker is
thereby not actuated.
Upon exiting of the test mode, the execution of an authorized test period or the conscious switching to the
normal operating state (Process mode) leads to the deactivation of the temporary settings. The original
setting then becomes active. You can also make us of this test menu to have a quick overview of available and
enabled protection functions.

• Log
– Device diagnosis log:
Monitoring indications are entered in this buffer. If, for example, a device fault is present, the
required information is entered in plain text. Every result is time-stamped. Plain text means that you
receive the necessary information about, say, erroneous modules and the type of error. At the same
time, an operation recommendation such as replacement of the expansion module is given.
– Safety indications:
In this buffer logs, entries are time-stamped when access was carried out on the device using
DIGSI 5. Rejected access, for example, if you entered the password incorrectly 3 times, is registered.
You cannot delete this buffer. This buffer is organized as a ring buffer. Selected indications can be
transmitted to a systems control and can be archived there. This guarantees a long-term buffer for
accessing the device as it is required in cyber-security recommendations such as NERC-CIP (see
chapter11.1 Security Design).
• Time information:
In this setting sheet you can open diagnoses for the first and second clock and query their synchroniza-
tion status. In addition, it gives information about the internal device time. This can also be set via this
menu for test purposes. If a high-precision second pulse is available, its status is also shown here

9.3.1 Establishing Readiness for Operation State
It is assumed that you have gone through steps in chapters 1 to 4. Check the connection of the auxiliary
power supply. SIPROTEC 5 devices have 2 power-supply unit designs (type 1: DC 24 V to DC 48 V and type 2:
DC 60 V to DC 250 V as well as AC 110 V to AC 250 V). You can also read the rated voltage range from the
name plate. After successful testing of your voltage source, switch it on. The device is now in startup mode.
The LEDs RUN (green) and ERROR (red) light up simultaneously. In addition, some LEDs on the base module
start flashing. When the RUN LED is permanently On and the ERROR LED is permanently Off the device has
started up. Figure 9-9 and Figure 9-10 show the basic status of the device display using the example of trans-
former differential protection.

Afterwards you can initialize the device by loading the parameterization. Before going to the
chapter 9.3.3 Initializing Device and Verifying Basic Status , read the information in the chapter 9.3.2 Using a
Project with DIGSI 5.
NOTE
i If you find another default display after device startup, then someone before you has initialized the device.
You can now load your parameterization to the device. In the DIGSI 5 project tree, use the Load Configura-
tion in Device menu item.
9.3.2 Using a Project with DIGSI 5
All settings of the device are created with the DIGSI 5 operating program. The engineering department is
responsible for editing. In the respective project (see chapter 6 Using DIGSI 5) you will find the devices with
the project-specific settings. Familiarize yourself with the project and the device settings before you execute
the next steps.
Take the following procedure as your guide:
² Install the DIGSI 5 operating program on your PC/laptop. For commissioning, Siemens recommends the
DIGSI 5 variant Premium.
² Accept the project from the engineering department and save it.
² Open the project and the devices in it.
² Check whether inconsistencies are shown. DIGSI 5 constantly performs a consistency check. If inconsis-
tencies are detected, the corresponding position in the operating program is marked. If this is the case,
clarify the cause.
² Look into device-specific parameterization. Use the sequence described below as your guide.

9.3 Initial Startup
Procedure for checking device parameterization:

² Check whether the parameterized hardware coincides with the existing devices. In the project, click
Devices and networks.
² If you communicate via Ethernet, check the correct setting of the IP addresses simultaneously. You can
also do these checks under Device.
² If the project is an IEC 61850 system, go to menu item IEC 61850 GOOSE Communication to familiarize
yourself with the respective circuitry. If you use circuiting you can view the static reports on the systems
control.
² Create an overview of the settings or the routing in the individual menu items. Siemens recommends
doing this when opening the device in DIGSI.
9.3.3 Initializing Device and Verifying Basic Status
SIPROTEC 5 devices are initialized via the front USB interface. Alternatively, you can initialize the devices via
port J. If you connect port J to a system, you must change the previous IP address.
² Connect the device to the corresponding USB interface of your computer.
² In the DIGSI 5 operating program right-click the device to be initialized.
² Click the Load Configuration in Device menu item.
DIGSI 5 then accepts the connection to the device and loads the complete parameterization into the device.
This process takes some time.

Figure 9-11 Display during Transfer
Once the transfer is completed, the device executes a reset and is in the startup mode. Once this status is
finished, the display image appears and the green LED (Run) lights up. The red LED (Error) must be off.
The display image contains information about the basic device type, for example, transformer protection, the
firmware version (FW), and the loaded parameterization version. In SIPROTEC 5, this is called Configuration
(CFG).
If a display image is adjusted in the parameterization, then the device switches to this display state after
several seconds. The set display image, for example, the measured-value display, should appear.
If you wish verify the loaded parameterization randomly, you can execute a check through the on-site opera-
tion panel. Log in and follow the menu. Read the user instructions in chapter 5 Using On-Site Operation Panel.

Alternatively, you can also verify the parameterization with DIGSI 5. To do this, activate the online mode and
establish connection to the device. Then open the settings comparison between the online device and the
offline device in the project.
During the initialization, the serial number of the device is transferred to the offline project. Alternatively you
can also enter the serial number by hand in the offline device.
9.3.4 Testing Readiness for Operation
By carrying out the points in chapter 9.3.3 Initializing Device and Verifying Basic Status, the device is ready for
operation. If devices are built into cabinets, additional wiring and communication connections are necessary.
Subsequent checks can be made in preparation for the secondary test. To do this, you can make use of
numerous test aids available in the device, which are described in chapter 9.2 Test Suite Integrated in the
Device.
Siemens recommends the following procedure in this order:
² Testing binary inputs and outputs
Check that the connection from the transmission terminal to the device is correct and the binary inputs
and outputs as well.
² Testing voltage and current inputs
Using multi-phase test equipment, apply the corresponding test quantities and check the results. To do
this, make use of the testing options in the device (see chapter 9.2.2 Testing Current and Voltage Inputs.)
You can also check the measured values directly on the device by calling up the operational measured
values in the respective function group.
You can also read the operating measured values in the operating software DIGSI 5. Under Online Access
Points, open the assigned device. Under the menu item Measurement, you will find a clear presentation
of the operational measured values in the respective function group.
² Checking communication interfaces
You can also set the state of signals transferred via communication interfaces. This action allows you to
check, for example, the connection to the systems control. In the communication diagnosis, you will find
helpful information, for example, about data traffic on a communication interface.
² Checking time synchronization
The device is synchronized by a maximum of 2 independent time sources. In online mode, first click in
the project tree on Device information then on the tab Time information. The delivered specific values
(UTC) of the 1st and 2nd time source (if available) are shown. The internal time of the device which
results from the time information of the active time source is likewise shown.

9.4 Secondary Tests
9.4 Secondary Tests
9.4.1 Scope of Inspection and Methodology
The secondary test objectives are:

• Checking the transformer burdens, checking the transformer data of the main current and voltage trans-
former
• Checking the routing of signals to the most varied targets (binary inputs (BI), binary outputs (BO), LEDs,
and interfaces)
• Checking function charts (CFC) in the device
• Checking the interactions between devices, for example, exchange of information or measured values via
interface
• Checking the correct setting of protection functions and the interaction of protection functions (for
example, circuit-breaker failure protection, automatic reclosing)
• Checking communication with a systems control

You can proceed in different ways depending on problem definition and test objective. To simplify the inspec-
tion effort, the application of test programs of digital test equipment is recommended. During a secondary
test, you do not have to go through all characteristic-curve points. That is the subject matter of an acceptance
test. Focus on characteristic values. These are pickup values, operate times, and the interaction between func-
tions as well as devices.
In this test you can also make use of integrated test functions and hence reduce the expense on test tech-
nology. Pickup values and the reaction of the protection function can be checked easily with the sequencer
(see chapter 9.2.3 Testing Protection Functions).
! WARNING
Warning of danger from secondary tests
Noncompliance with safety notes can result in death, serious injuries, or considerable material
damage.
² Secondary tests must only be carried out by personnel who are qualified electricians and are familiar
with the commissioning of protection systems, the operation of the system, and with safety regula-
tions and provisions (switching, grounding, etc.).
² Make sure that there are no connections to the primary system during the secondary test.
In the secondary test it is assumed that there are still no connections to the primary system. But if you do this
in the primary system, special safety conditions must be followed.
² Consider that no other measurands are locked in, unless otherwise indicated.
² Consider that the trip and close commands to the circuit breakers are interrupted, unless otherwise indi-
cated.
² Take note of the general instructions in chapter 9.5 Primary Tests.
9.4.2 Recommendation for Testing of Functions
Only general recommendations are given in this manual. Please refer to the respective Device manual for the
function-specific instructions to be followed. Remember also that a deviation from the expected functionality
can have its cause in an erroneous test sequence.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
Commissioning
9.4 Secondary Tests
Testing of Protection Functions
• Before checking, familiarize yourself first with the measuring principle of the protection function in the
Device manual and consider the test recommendations given in the Device manual.
• Perform the tests using multi-phase test equipment since numerous protection functions require a 3-
phase system.
• You can test most protection functions using stationary signals. Some protection functions require tran-
sient signals. Typical examples are the testing of protection reaction on power swings (power-swing
blocking in distance protection and out-of-step protection) and the transient effect on transformers. They
generate transient test files with a dynamic network calculation program or these test files are provided
by special test programs.
• If setting values are offered only in percent or per unit, remember that the setting values refer only to
rated quantities of the protected object. Secondary test quantities must be converted using the trans-
former ratio.
• Perform the tests successively. Activate only the function that you wish to test. Make use of DIGSI 5
support (see chapter 9.2.3 Testing Protection Functions).
• Since protection functions can be assigned to different protection function groups, check the interaction
between function groups as well. If you have created your own application template or modified the
delivered template, Siemens recommends that you check the interaction. The application templates
provided with the device have been tested.
• Check the reaction of the protection functions via the indications in the corresponding logs. The indica-
tions in the spontaneous indication log (available in online mode), which are shown at the moment of
occurrence, are a good tool. Testing using the fault record (binary signal traces in relation to the input
variables) is also advisable for transient processes.
• Check the correct routing of signals of the protection function.
• Check individual protection functions in the test editor using signals from test equipment or the internal
signal generator (sequences). Examine the test sequence in the characteristic curve of the protection
function and its spontaneous indications.
Checking Function Charts (CFC)
• Created logics (function charts) must be tested. A working relationship with the engineering department
is necessary for this purpose. Familiarize yourself first with the objective of the function chart. DIGSI 5
offers you a tracing function during offline operation. This allows you to verify the correct logical
sequence by loading the function chart with test sequences and following the reaction in the function
chart. Switchgear interlockings and other logic can be tested easily with it.
• If the logic reacts to transient changes, you must perform dynamic tests. To do this, generate the neces-
sary test sequences and load them into the device. You can then provide inputs or outputs for tracing in
the function chart. The exact temporal sequence of signals is then logged in a fault record during the
progress of the test sequence. This can be analyzed, for example, using SIGRA and the runtimes and time
differences analyzed. This is a very good way of checking and simultaneously documenting behavior over
time (file export in PDF format).
Checking Control Functions
• Switching of switching devices requires that the switchgear interlockings are properly executed and that
the correct signals are fed to the logic. Perform the corresponding tests. Check the switchgear inter-
locking by simulating the corresponding input variables and checking the reaction on the output.
• If you perform on-site control with the device, check the on-site control diagram in devices with large
display. Select the respective switching device and check the different switching operations. Check the
reaction on the outputs.
• In devices with small display, select the switching device (selection via text) and execute the switching
operation as well.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
Commissioning
9.4 Secondary Tests
• Since measured values are also displayed apart from switching devices in the display diagram, check the
proper assignment of measured values by feeding and changing the test quantities.
• Tap changer position commands and control commands for arc-suppression coils can be checked via
DIGSI 5. Check the corresponding relay outputs and feedbacks via binary inputs or communication inter-
faces.
9.4.3 Testing Interfaces in the Compound System
Besides binary inputs and outputs, communication between devices occurs via serial communication inter-
faces. Test instructions are hereinafter given for the following applications:
Protection Communication Between Devices

A typical application is communication between line differential protection devices. The main protection func-
tion is differential protection which requires a functioning data connection between devices. Please refer to
the Device manual for checking the Differential protection function.
A 2nd application is communication between devices by transferring binary signal and measured values (for
example, remotely from the opposite end). You generate test signals with the communication test by setting
signals to be transmitted systematically in the transmitter and checking their receipt. Please refer to the
chapter Protection Interface in the Device manual for the necessary test items.
GOOSE Communication Between Devices

GOOSE communication is possible only with the IEC 61850 protocol. Check whether the interfaces and
switches are parameterized properly. Familiarize yourself with the information that is to be transmitted via
GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event). Using external test programs such as the GOOSE
Inspector, you can automatically check all GOOSE connections configured in the SCD file. In the event of
missing connections, check the GOOSE parameterization of the transmitting device.
Communication Between Device and Control Center

Various protocols are available to you for communicating with a control center (station or network control
center). Besides DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-103, the IEC 61850 protocol has emerged as the leading protocol. The
test requires the exchange of parameterizations between the protection device and the systems and control
device. Test telegrams for the communication interfaces can be created using the editor described in
9.2.4 Creating Signals for Communication Interfaces. When setting states in the device, the corresponding
telegrams are sent via all existing systems and control protocols.
The test sequencer can be another test source (see chapter 9.2.3 Testing Protection Functions). You can bring
a protection function systematically towards pickup and release using the test sequencer. A fault record is also
simultaneously created during the process. In the systems control, check, for example, that the correct indica-
tions are coming and the fault record was correctly received. In case of a longer sequence you can also verify
the measured values. In addition, check communication in the direction of the device. If switching commands
are controlled by the systems control, check proper execution.

General Notes
! DANGER
Danger due to hazardous voltages during the operation of electric devices
² Only electrically qualified personnel may work on these devices. The electrically qualified personnel
must be thoroughly familiar with pertinent safety regulations and precautionary measures as well as
the warnings in this manual.
! WARNING
Warning of hazards due to improper primary tests
Noncompliance with the safety notes can result in death, serious injuries, or considerable material
damage.
² Primary trials may be performed only by qualified electricians who are familiar with the commis-
sioning of protection systems, the operation of the system and safety regulations and provisions
(switching, grounding, etc.).
You must perform switching operations for the commissioning. The described tests require that they can be
done without danger. They have not been conceived for operational checks.
You must follow pertinent safety regulations (VDE 105-100/A1, BGV A3/VBG 4).
Before starting work you must take note of the 5 safety regulations:
• Isolate from the power supply
• Safeguard against reclosing
• Establish zero potential
• Ground and short-circuit
• Cover or cordon off neighboring live parts

! CAUTION
You must ground the device at the protective grounding terminal before making the connections. There
may be hazardous voltages in all switching components linked to the power supply and to measurand or
test quantities. There may be hazardous voltages in the device (capacitor storage of the current supply)
even after disconnecting the supply voltage.
² To reach the defined initial conditions after switching off the auxiliary voltage, wait at least 10 s
before restarting the auxiliary voltage.
² Do not exceed the limiting values indicated under Technical Data of the Device manuals, even during
testing and commissioning.
! DANGER
Hazardous voltages during breaks in secondary circuits of current transformers
² Short-circuit the secondary connections of the current transformer before the electrical lines to the
device are disconnected.
² If there is a test switch which short-circuits the current-transformer secondary line automatically, it is
sufficient to set this switch to the Test position, provided you checked the short-circuiting device
beforehand.
NOTICE
Pay attention when wiring the safety cabinet to the system
Noncompliance with the safety notes will result in material damage.
² Before the 1st test, wire the safety cabinet to the system. You must check the wiring of the connec-
tions to the primary system.
² Test all connections, including the polarity of transformers. In voltage transformers with broken-delta
winding make sure that they are not short-circuited.
² Activate the auxiliary voltage of the device.

² Establish an online connection to the device. You can verify the signals at the binary inputs under the
Test suite → Wiring menu item.
² Compare the entries under Binary inputs, Binary outputs and LEDs with the system status.
² Check whether signaling contacts are connected to the correct binary input.
² Check the proper functioning of the voltage-transformer circuit breaker and the wiring on the corre-
sponding binary input.
² Check the correct wiring of blocking and release inputs.
² Click the Binary outputs menu item and check the status of the entries. Apart from those in closed
circuits, the contacts are open.
² To check the connection to the switching device, activate a specific binary output. Proceed very carefully
here.

NOTE
i Before you perform this test, make sure that the respective system part is isolated and a switching opera-
tion can be executed safely.
² Check the feedback once you have activated the switching device.
² In the menu, go to Test-suite → Analog inputs and check the voltage and current inputs. The relevant
measurands must have the value 0 in the de-energized switch position.
² Using test equipment parallel to the transformers, feed stationary test quantities.
² Check the measured values. Take note of the absolute value and phase as well as the correct phase
sequence.
NOTE
i If additional signals such as from a substation automation technology are coupled, perform the corre-
sponding tests (see chapter 9.4 Secondary Tests).
9.5.2 Methodical Procedure for Primary Tests of Functions
The scope of primary tests depends on the type of system. To check proper system integration, various
primary tests are performed in power plant systems. The generator delivers the necessary test quantities
based on the operating mode. Refer to the Device manual for generator protection for details.
The scope of inspection is much smaller in power system protection applications. It boils down to a direction
check in the broadest sense. Differential protection tends towards overfunction if there is a sensitive setting
and a wiring error. Each function can be switched to a special mode to avoid unnecessary activation of the
circuit breakers. It is ready to function but the trip command is not switched further (see Function descriptions
in the Device manual). In the desired function, switch the Mode parameter to Test. The trip signal is supplied
with a test bit. The tripping contacts in the device are not activated so the circuit breaker is not actuated by the
protection.
If you enter this setting for the differential protection, make sure that at least one overcurrent protection is
active as backup protection. Once all preparatory measures are complete, you can begin with the actual
primary test.
² First check that you can produce a non-critical switch position and that you have a specific power flow.
The possible load current must be greater than 10 % of the rated load. Avoid a maximum load.
² Activate the circuit breaker (for example, with a synchrocheck).
² Check the measured values.
² In online mode, open the Editor Test suite → Analog inputs.
² Check the phasor values of the measuring points in terms of plausibility (amount, phase and phase
sequence).
² Check the phase displacement of the current and voltage phasors with each other.
² Check the operational measured values per function group.
² Check the direction indirectly via the measured values for active and reactive power (Operational indica-
tions tab.) If the power flow is to the protected object (for example, line) and an ohmic inductive load is
assumed, the active and reactive power must assume positive values. The size of the measured values
determines the current load. If 2 protection devices are connected, both must show the same value.
² Click the Fund. comp./sym. comp. tab.
² You can verify the direction of rotation using positive-sequence and negative-sequence system quanti-
ties. The negative-sequence system quantities must be 0.
² If deviations arise during the tests, check the selected settings (for example, current transformer neutral
point, phase sequence, etc.) and the interface in a 2nd step.

9.5 Primary Tests
NOTE
i Using wiring modifications, switch the primary system to the de-energized state.
You can do tests specific to protection functions via the operational measured values.
² To do this, click the Functional meas. values tab. In a differential protection function, the differential
currents must be 0 and the corresponding restraint current available.
² Click Test suite → Protection functions.
² In the function group, select the protection function and you will get a graphic display. Apart from the set
characteristics, you see the functions relevant to protection.
To be 100 % sure about the direction setting in a directional overcurrent protection, make use of the test func-
tionality integrated in the protection function.
² Activate the binary input signal >Direction test, and the protection function switches to test mode.
² Analyze the indication behavior of the protection function according to the selected setting.
² Deactivate the test mode by terminating the binary input signal again.
With active protection you can continue the testing of the switching devices.
² Check the on and off switching of the circuit breaker.
² With the circuit breaker switched off, check the activation of disconnectors and the corresponding inter-
locking mechanisms.
9.5.3 Testing Measured Values During Operation
Checking the operational measured values for plausibility is a simplified test of components of the primary
system (transformer, wiring) and of secondary equipment (measured-value acquisition including measured-
value processing). You can set a default display in the device display that also contains the measured values.
Several measured-value windows are preadjustable and can be further switched if needed. Check these meas-
ured values for plausibility.
² If you wish to check measured values more precisely, follow the device menu and navigate to the corre-
sponding measured values.
² Alternatively, you can set parameters for a function key so that directly jumping to the desired menu is
possible.
Online operation with DIGSI 5 provides a good complete overview. You will find the relevant measured values
in Measurements for the respective function group. If there is a communication connection to systems
control, measured values that the operational crew can verify are also transmitted here.

10.1 Execute Checks
10.1.1 General Information
No special maintenance is required for SIPROTEC 5 devices. The only maintenance measure is to replace
batteries.
NOTE
i To avoid data loss, Siemens recommends replacing the device battery with the device supply voltage
switched on.
All measurement- and signal-processing circuits are designed full-static. All input modules are also static, and
the binary outputs are equipped with protective covers.
Since the device is mainly self-monitoring, hardware and software errors are automatically forwarded. This
action minimizes any downtime of the device. It also eliminates the need for frequent maintenance inspec-
tions.
Repeat Test
A routine test of characteristics or pickup values is unnecessary since this is part of the continuously monitored
firmware programs. As long as you make no changes in the pickup values or characteristics, a test is not
necessary.
Use the specified maintenance intervals to check and maintain the system and check the protection and
control equipment. The primary purpose of maintenance is to check the interfaces of the SIPROTEC 5 device,
that is, the coupling to the system.
If you discover a failure, follow the instructions in the corresponding chapters for failure search or call the
Siemens hotline.
10.1.2 Protection-Function Test
General
NOTE
i When performing a protection-function test, make sure that it does not lead to any undesired tripping.
Likewise no information must be transmitted to a higher-level systems control where the operator may
incorrectly interpret it.
² Make sure that the green RUN LED on the front cover lights up and not the red ERROR LED. This is how
the device indicates that it is properly functioning and that no failures have been observed during self-
monitoring.
² Make sure that the LEDs on the front cover present a plausible image of the actual state of the device. If,
for example, the tripping of a protection function is saved as an LED display, the device has fault indica-
tions and a fault record for this purpose.
² Press the LED test key. All LEDs apart from the red ERROR LED light up. Stored LED displays are reset and
only those states currently indicated by the device are shown.
² Read the operational measured values and compare them to the actual measurands to control the analog
inputs. To do this, enter a reference quantity into the device using secondary test equipment. This is how
you check the proper operation of the analog section of devices.
² Read the operational indications. You can do this directly on the device or following a clearly arranged
procedure using the DIGSI 5. Make sure that they do not contain inputs about failures of the device, of
measurands or other implausible information.

10.1 Execute Checks
² If the protection equipment has picked up or disabled an error, you can verify this through the fault
record and the fault log. This is how the protection equipment demonstrates its correct operation in the
operating state. Additional protection-function tests can be omitted.
NOTE
i The system operator is responsible for further protection-function tests within maintenance intervals.
Check protection functions using secondary test equipment or the integrated test sequencer (see chapter
9 Commissioning).

10.2 Error Search and Correction
10.2.1 Troubleshooting
Procedure
If the device indicated an error, then Siemens recommends that you proceed as follows:
If no LED on the operation panel of the device lights up, then verify as follows:
² Check whether the auxiliary voltage on the corresponding connections has an adequate amount and
correct polarity. You will find information about this in the overview plans in the appendix of the Device
manual.
² If the device shows a fault via the red ErrorLED, look for the cause of the fault in the operational log. You
can do this directly on the device or with DIGSI 5.
² If the Fallback Mode display appears in the device display, then reinitialize the device through DIGSI 5.
Look for the cause in the device-diagnosis log first. If a connection to the system cannot be established,
initialization takes place via the USB interface on the device together with DIGSI 5.
² If the confirmation ID is queried, enter it for the device initialization.
The display first disappears in the device display. After successful initialization, the LEDs again indicate normal
operation and the default display goes back into the display. If the device-specific setting values were saved in
the PC during commissioning, they are again loaded into the device.
The device is ready for operation.
Additional Support
If these measures do not lead to the desired result, the Support team will help you.
² Keep the device serial number to hand for the Support team.
² Read out the version of the installed firmware.
² Read the device-diagnosis log of your SIPROTEC 5 device with DIGSI 5 so that the Support employee has
all the necessary information.
If a Support employee is on site, he has the option of configuring the device with special software for further
analysis of an existing problem. A signed start-up file is loaded onto the device by the employee. For this, a
firmware version of the device, version V07.50 and higher, is required. When correction of defects is
complete, the correct configuration is established and the device continues to run normally.
Read the Device Data via the Operation Panel

² With a device ready for operation, select Main menu → Test & Diagnosis → Device information.

10.2.2 Measures for Error Correction
Limit work on the hardware to the necessary extent.
NOTE
i Defective modules can be replaced only by experienced persons. Never open modules yourself.
The following software measures are possible:

• Initializing the system
• If, for example, you would like to set a supervision function so that it becomes more insensitive since it is
responding sporadically in the operating state, change the parameterization.
NOTE
i If these measures do not lead to the desired result, avoid further measures during operation.
10.2.3 Fallback Mode
If an error is detected in the device that cannot automatically be cleared (hardware components, software or
parameters), the device switches automatically into fallback mode. This can appear in system start or during
operation of the device. The fallback mode allows you a minimum procedure with error diagnosis and error
correction.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
NOTE
i Ensure that the protection and control functions are deactivated in fallback mode.
Fallback mode is evident from the termination of the life contact, the Error LED, and the Fallback mode
header in the device display. In this mode the outputs of the device are brought to their initial state. Access to
the hardware is impossible. A limited operating menu is available for further actions.
Fallback Mode
You can select various information areas and have them displayed in the Fallback mode. The reason for the
fallback are shown in the lower part of the display as an indication (1 in Figure 10-3). When selecting the
softkey <More> on the right-hand side, a list of entries is displayed that was generated during the diagnosis of
the device (2 in Figure 10-3). Use the navigation keys to select the relevant entry or use the softkey <Details>
to open the currently selected entry. Precise information about the fallback will be displayed (3 in
Figure 10-3).

tion displayed.
• Transformer modules
If using transformer modules, this menu item displays all available information about these modules (for
example, slot, board type or serial number)
Fatal Error, the Device Goes into the Fallback Mode

Certain fatal device errors lead to the device falling immediately into the fallback mode. Fatal device errors are
errors that cannot be resolved by a restart of the device. An indication displays the type of error. From this,
you can derive additional steps (for example, contacting the repair department). The device goes permanently
out of operation, a failure is avoided. In fallback mode, minimal operation of the device via the on-site opera-
tion panel and DIGSI 5 is possible. In this way you can still read information from the diagnostic log, for
example.
Life contact is terminated in fallback mode
Red error LED is activated in fallback mode
Group-Warning Indication
Pickup of the following supervisions with entry of the device into the fallback mode does not allow output of
normal supervision indications. The entry of the device into the fallback mode thus also does not lead to the
activation of the group warning indication.
10.2.4 Error Indications
If the SIPROTEC 5 device is outside a normal operating mode (for example, device is in commissioning mode or
in simulation mode), this is shown by an indication. By default this indication is prerouted to LED 16 and
makes the red LED flash.
If you have exited one of the modes incorrectly (for example, by pulling out the DIGSI 5 PC), the red LED
flashes and after 4 hours the Device Ready indication will go.
This function is realized in the SIPROTEC 5 device via a predefined CFC chart. This means that you can change
this behavior in case of doubt. To do this, change or delete the CFC chart.
Overview of Errors
For each error indication on the on-site operation panel, a specific error code is issued additionally (see
Figure 10-3 (2)). This error code is helpful for further analysis by the repair service.

10.3 Replace and Return Defective Device
10.3 Replace and Return Defective Device
10.3.1 Backup Module
If you cannot correct a defect reported by the device, you can replace this device with a backup device. If the
error is on the base module, only the base module is replaced. Expansion modules belonging to the device
remain at the installation location and are connected to the backup base module. If the error is on an expan-
sion module, only this expansion module is exchanged.
The backup module must be of the same type as the defective module to be replaced. If you replace the defec-
tive base module, the backup base module is configured with available project data from DIGSI.
10.3.2 Replacing a Device
NOTE
i If the device comprises a base module and expansion modules, you can exchange the base module as well
as the expansion modules individually for the respective replacement modules.
• Take the device out of operation.
• Remove the wired terminal blocks from the module to be exchanged or alternatively all lines from the
device.
• Remove the device (see chapter 3.1.1 Fitting Devices).
• If needed, remove the defective base module from the expansion modules.
Installing a Replacement Module
• If needed, assemble the replacement base module with the expansion modules.
• Assemble the device (see chapter 3.1.1 Fitting Devices.)
• Put the device back into operation (see chapter 9.3.1 Establishing Readiness for Operation State.)
10.3.3 Returning a Device
NOTE
i If the wired terminals of the defective base module are to remain in the system, fit the defective base
module with the terminals of the replacement module or order replacement terminals.
• Ensure that the devices are either shipped with the original current and voltage terminals or, alternatively
– if the wired terminals are to remain in the system – with the designated transport safety devices.
If there are green single-row voltage terminals, it is irrelevant in terms of transport whether or not they
are plugged in. They do not require any alternative transport safety device.
• Protect the optical interfaces on the communication or arc-protection modules against the ingress of
dust. Use, for example, the protective caps provided in the delivery condition.
• Pack the defective module (base module and expansion module) or the complete device (see chapter
1.1 Unpacking, Repacking, Returning, and Storing).
• Return all of the defective module to your Siemens sales partner.
NOTE
i If the base module is incomplete, for example if terminals are missing, it cannot be taken back.

10.4 Update Firmware and Configuration
10.4.1 General
You can use DIGSI 5 for updating both the configuration and the firmware. No additional tool is necessary for
updating the firmware of the device or the firmware of the communication module. In order to carry out an
update, you must first import the new DIGSI device driver (DDD) into DIGSI 5. You can then update the device
firmware and the configuration. When updating the firmware, use a connection with at least 1 Mbit/s.
10.4.2 Importing and Managing Device Drivers
If you wish to use new functions or if the manufacturer provides an improved version of the firmware, a firm-
ware update is necessary. The files for the firmware update are digitally signed. This prevents you from
loading the device with any faulty files or firmware that is not suitable for the device.
If you have installed new communication modules in the SIPROTEC 5 device, check the firmware version of the
individual components. You can find up-to-date device drivers and communication protocols (*.DDD, DIGSI
Device Driver) in the Siemens download area.
DIGSI 5 device drivers contain both the firmware and the configuration data.
Siemens recommends performing the firmware update on the device locally. If you wish to start the firmware
update remotely, use a data circuit with a transmission rate of at least 1 Mbit/s.

Safety Instructions
! DANGER
Danger due to the execution of test functions
Noncompliance with safety instructions will result in death, serious physical injury, or considerable
material damage.
² The execution of test functions requires a high degree of qualification and precise know-how of
system conditions.
Procedure
DIGSI 5 offers the possibility to start different test and diagnostic functions for a SIPROTEC 5 device in the
Online operating mode. In chapter 9.2.1 Test Functions you will find the description of the test functions that
the device and DIGSI 5 offer you.
Activate the test functions via the menu bar and via different functions that you reach via the list view of the
device.
² Open the device in the Online operating mode.
² Open Test suite in the project tree.
[sctstsut-140211-01.tif, 1, en_US]
Figure 10-21 Test Suite
All subordinate test options appear in the data window. Select the desired test editor and start the test. If
configured, enter the confirmation ID. In some test functions the device switches to an operating mode that
first requires a system start of the device. Confirm this with DIGSI 5. The selected test function then becomes
available.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
NOTE
i Depending on the device layout, not all test functions are always available. The execution of test functions
is protected by a confirmation ID.
10.5.2 Switching Test Mode On and Off
Procedure
If the test mode is switched on, indications transmitted via communication interfaces are labeled with an addi-
tional test bit, provided this is supported by the protocol. With this test bit you can determine whether an indi-
cation is generated in a test and all or individual functions of the device are in the test mode. In this manner
the reactions that are necessary in the normal mode due to an indication can be suppressed in other devices
that receive these indications.
• You can activate the test mode via a binary input. All functions in the device are hence in the test mode.
• You can activate the test mode via a GOOSE indication from another device. This allows you, for example,
to bring several devices into the test state virtually simultaneously.
• If you have activated a confirmation ID, this is queried by DIGSI 5 or the integrated control before start of
the test mode.
• You can switch on the test mode via the integrated control.
• You can activate the test mode via DIGSI 5. All functions go into the test mode.
• You can bring selected functions into the test state. DIGSI 5 offers a test editor for this purpose.
The test editor shows you all protection functions in the device with the current states. The state of a
function is set systematically there to Test. An activated test mode is marked with a check mark in the
menu item.

Security Settings in the Device
11.1 Security Design
11.1 Security Design

Due to the increasing integration of bay units in Ethernet-based communication network, you must secure the
communication against internal failures and attacks from outside. The specifications published by the North
American Electric Reliability Council for critical infrastructure protection - NERC-CIP, for short - and the white
paper published by the German Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) contain requirements
for the safe operation of devices in critical communications infrastructure. These requirements are addressed
to manufacturers and operators.
Security must be incorporated into the design of devices right from the start. This is implemented consistently
in SIPROTEC 5. Measures in the hardware ensure the secure use of signed files. These are provided to protect
the firmware files and data records of the device. Secure storage of key material on the device makes secure
communication between DIGSI 5 and the device possible. The following items give you a high level of security
when integrating the SIPROTEC 5 device in the network:
• Protection against attacks from the network
• Multi-stage safety concept in the operating state
• Logging of authorized and unauthorized access
• Logging of safety-critical actions

You can switch off unused Ethernet services. If, for example, the RSTP redundancy log is not being used, you
can switch it off using DIGSI 5. This gives a potential attacker no open interfaces and only utilized services are
activated in a network.

11.2 Multi-Level Safety Concept
11.2 Multi-Level Safety Concept

DIGSI 5 offers many useful functions for the configuration and testing of your SIPROTEC 5 devices. Constant
password prompts are not sensible during this phase. During operation, however, the focus is on the reading
of data. Reconfiguration and switching are safety-critical operations. These operations lead to failures in oper-
ation if they are carried out inadvertently or without authorization. After completion of commissioning, you
can activate a multi-level security concept in the device.
Before DIGSI 5 can communicate with the SIPROTEC 5 device via its Ethernet services, the device carries out
secure authentication. Only DIGSI 5 has the authorization for communication with the device. In addition, a
connection password that meets the strict rules of NERC-CIP can be configured. The password is securely
stored in the device. The password must contain upper case and lower case letters, digits and special charac-
ters and must be at least 8 to 24 characters long. It is queried before connection is established. A connection
to the SIPROTEC 5 device cannot be established until the correct password has been entered. You now have
read access.
All write-access rights to the SIPROTEC 5 device such as, for example, changing setting values or switching are
protected by other security prompts and confirmation IDs. If changes are done via the integrated operation,
these confirmation IDs are queried on the on-site operation panel. The confirmation ID contains only numbers
that must be entered at the on-site operation panel or in DIGSI 5.
NOTE
i The confirmation IDs are only needed if the role-based access control (RBAC) is not activated in the
SIPROTEC 5 device.
The 3-level security concept consists of secure authentication, the connection password, and other confirma-
tion IDs. This concept provides the highest possible degree of access protection during operation. Even remote
access to devices is protected. You can also use an Ethernet module exclusively for the communication with
DIGSI 5. Access by a substation control network with the unsecured IEC 61850 protocol and remote access
with DIGSI 5 are then carried out via completely separate networks. Even though the SIPROTEC 5 device
communicates with DIGSI 5 via an Ethernet module, communication between DIGSI 5 and the device is
encrypted using tap-proof technology.
Wrong password entries are identified and logged. An alarm can be triggered via remote link. Safety-critical
operations are also logged and cannot be deleted in the device. If files on the PC were manipulated by
malware (for example viruses), they cannot be loaded into the device.

11.3 Security Settings
11.3 Security Settings

Enter the settings for each SIPROTEC 5 device by using DIGSI 5 only. The NERC-CIP-compliant connection pass-
word is not set by default. The confirmation ID for all sensitive device actions is set according to Table 8-10.
If you wish to create a security concept, you must change these values with DIGSI 5. Next, initialize the devices
with the new values. The connection password and confirmation IDs can only be set via DIGSI 5.
They can be initialized in the device via the following interfaces:
• USB interface
• Mainboard (Port J)
• Communication interface
The confirmation IDs then apply for on-site operation and for operation with DIGSI 5.
You can deactivate or reset the connection password at the on-site operation panel. You can change the
connection password with DIGSI 5 by entering the old connection password and then assigning a new pass-
word.
You can change the confirmation ID via the Ethernet network. Communication is encrypted and tamper-
resistant.
Proceed as follows for the security settings:
• Establish a direct connection from DIGSI 5 to the USB interface of the device.
• Set and initialize the connection password.
• Set and activate the confirmation ID in the device.
NOTE
i If the battery of the device no longer functions or has been taken out, the connection password will be
deactivated after restarting the device. You can find more information in chapter 11.7 Using Connection
Passwords and Confirmation IDs.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
11.4 Confirmation ID
NOTE
i If you have not activated access protection with a confirmation code and connection password, the device
operates using role-based access control (see chapter 11.9 Operational Security and Access Control).
The confirmation ID consists of 6 digits, see Table 8-10. If DIGSI 5 is online with the device and you execute
safety-critical actions, the query also protects against undesirable actions during operation. Use only DIGSI 5 to
set the confirmation IDs. After initialization of the confirmation ID with DIGSI 5, the query is saved in the
device.
Change the confirmation ID as follows.
• Double-click the Security menu item in the project tree.
• Click the Change... button in the action column (see Figure 11-3).
• Enter the confirmation ID twice.
• Confirm the process with OK or cancel it.

All entries are hidden by asterisks.
[scbstcod-021116-01, 1, en_US]
Figure 11-2 Changing the Confirmation ID with DIGSI 5
Confirmation ID for the Local/Remote Switching Authority

Set the confirmation ID for the switching authority with DIGSI 5. During operation, there is no dialog in DIGSI 5
for this setting. You can change the local or remote switching authority solely via the on-site operation panel.
To change the switching authority, use DIGSI 5 to enter the confirmation ID that you have to enter at the on-
site operation panel.
Enter the setting with the code (local or remote position) for devices with a key switch. There is no query at
the on-site operation panel for devices with a key switch. For devices without a key switch, set the local or
remote position status in the device using a parameter. Changing this parameter requires the entry of the
confirmation ID. If the local position has been set, you cannot execute any switching operations via a substa-
tion control protocol or with DIGSI 5.
Confirmation ID for Non-Interlocked Switching (Interlocking Off)
NOTE
i This is a very critical operation.
Enter the setting of the confirmation ID with DIGSI 5. For devices with a key switch, non-interlocked switching
is possible by selecting the Interlocking Off position. If no key switch is present, there is a confirmation ID in

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
the on-site operation panel or in DIGSI 5 before non-interlocked switching is possible. If you have entered the
correct confirmation ID, non-interlocked switching is possible.
Confirmation ID for Authorization of Switching with DIGSI 5

Execute normal switching operations with the on-site operation panel (key switches and push-buttons on the
on-site operation panel) or with a control-center system with teletransmission. During device testing (commis-
sioning) you can also execute switching with DIGSI 5, for example, to test interlocking conditions. The require-
ment is that you set switching authorization with the key switch to teletransmission or on the on-site opera-
tion panel to remote. Before non-interlocked or interlocked switching is possible with DIGSI 5, check the
confirmation ID. DIGSI 5 then has the approval to execute a test of the switching operation.
Confirmation ID for Other Safety-Critical Operations

Enter the setting of the confirmation ID with DIGSI 5. You need this confirmation ID for the following steps:
• Changing settings
• Executing tests (apart from switching operation, for which there are other confirmation IDs)
• Resetting meters
• Executing other safety-critical operations that carry out a write access to the device, for example, deleting
of fault records and logs

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
11.5 Connection Password
11.5 Connection Password

The connection password is NERC-CIP-compliant. The password must contain lower case and upper case
letters, digits and special characters (for example, %, &, $, etc.). The connection password must be at least 8
characters long and may include a maximum of 24 characters. This rule is verified by DIGSI 5 during entry. The
connection password is not set by default. To enter a new password, the existing characters are concealed by
asterisks. You must enter the connection password twice to confirm. This confirmation prevents erroneous
entries. An empty text box is prevented. You can deactivate the query of the connection password in DIGSI 5
under Security in the Password for secure connection section by removing the check mark.
NOTE
i Deactivation of the connection password means that a user has access to the device through DIGSI 5. If you
wish to hinder this, set the connection password in the device.
Figure 11-3 Setting Window for the Connection Password and the Confirmation ID
After entering a new connection password, the password is automatically transferred to the device (an empty
text box will not be accepted). Initialization of the connection password is possible only via the front USB inter-
face or via an Ethernet interface.
Further access to the device after connection is possible only if you have entered the connection password in
the DIGSI 5 dialog and communication with the device has been established. This procedure prevents unau-
thorized access. Siemens recommends that the connection password be checked after initialization.
A connection password is not copied from one device to another device. You must enter the password in
offline mode from DIGSI 5 for every individual device of a project.
You can change the connection password online via an Ethernet connection. After entering the previous pass-
word and entering and repeating the new password, the device accepts the change. This change is always
encrypted and tamper-resistant.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
11.6 Authentication, Connection Password, and Confirmation ID During Operation
11.6 Authentication, Connection Password, and Confirmation ID During

Operation
The 1st sequence between DIGSI 5 and the device is an authentication procedure in which secure codes are
exchanged between DIGSI 5 and the device. This procedure ensures that only DIGSI 5 can have technical
access to a SIPROTEC 5 device. If other applications wish to gain access without authorization, they are
blocked. If a protocol such as IEC 61850 is sent via the same Ethernet interface, this protocol is not blocked
and the specific security settings of the physical device port are relevant.
If you access the 1st device online, the connection password is queried by the SIPROTEC 5 device, provided
that you have set the password within the device. Correct entries in DIGSI 5 allow you read access to the
device. Wrong entries are recorded in the security log of the device and a warning can be issued through a
contact. If you make 3 wrong entries, access to the device is blocked for several minutes. You must acknowl-
edge other safety-relevant operations by entering the specific confirmation ID. These operations are recorded
in the device as well.
For 30 minutes a session manager in DIGSI 5 monitors all passwords and entries relevant for the identification.
If, for example, the following actions take place within this time, you need not reenter the connection pass-
word or the confirmation ID.
• If you switch another device online.
• If you carry out the same safety-relevant operations for the same or another device.
The session manager prevents unnecessary entries with one or more devices during an online session. If you
isolate the devices from DIGSI 5, the session manager is deleted. A connection password or a confirmation ID
is not saved on the DIGSI PC.
If you trigger safety operations with the on-site operation panel (keyboard, key switch), the same confirmation
IDs as in DIGSI 5 are used for the same activities. Enter the confirmation ID via the device keypad of the on-site
operation panel. There is no connection password for the on-site operation panel.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
11.7 Using Connection Passwords and Confirmation IDs

Siemens recommends that the connection password and confirmation ID be kept close. This is organized in
the corresponding department of the power utility. You can assign different confirmation IDs to different user
roles for switching operations and other safety-relevant operations. Only authorized persons may have access
to this data.
The reset procedure exists for the rare case that you forgot the connection password. If the connection pass-
word query in your protection device has been activated, this means that you cannot establish a connection to
your SIPROTEC 5 device without entering the password. If the confirmation ID is also not present, you cannot
gain any write access to the device with DIGSI 5 or the on-site operation panel.
Resetting the Connection Password

² Switch to the Device functions menu in the main menu of the device.
² Select the Security → Password recovery menu item.
² Confirm resetting of the password with the Ok softkey or cancel the operation with Esc.
² Enter the confirmation ID 222222 and confirm it by pressing Enter.
² Next, enter the following keyboard shortcut as recovery code:
<1>, <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>, <6>, <FN>+<1>, <FN>+<2>, <FN>+<3>, <FN>+<4>, <FN>+<5> and <FN>+<6>
NOTE
i Always press the function key and digit simultaneously.

Please note that the time-out between key operations is 1 s.
If the device is in fallback mode or if it is a device without a display, proceed as follows:

² Isolate the device from the auxiliary voltage.
² Remove the battery from the device.
² Wait for about 2 minutes.
² Insert the battery into the device.
² Reconnect the device to the power supply.
The connection password is reset.
Proceed as follows if you want to deactivate the connection password on the device:
² Switch to the Device functions menu in the main menu of the device.
² Select the Security → Password switch menu item.
² Enter the confirmation ID 222222.
² Deactivate the connection password.
NOTE
i If the battery of the device no longer functions or has been taken out, the connection password will be
deactivated after restarting the device.
Using DIGSI 5 reset the confirmation ID for the offline configuration of the device as well (see 11.4 Confirma-
tion ID).
² For this purpose, use the DIGSI 5 dialog Have you forgotten one of the confirmation IDs or the
connection password?
The device must now be initialized with the project data that was saved with DIGSI 5 for this device.
Because the connection password was deleted and the confirmation ID reset, the project data for this device
can be transferred easily.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
² Repeat this procedure for all devices.

² After the reset, set the connection password and the confirmation ID for the devices manually.
² Initialize the connection password and the confirmation ID via the front USB interface, the mainboard
(Port J) or the communication module.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
11.8 Recording of Cyber-Security Events

To record cyber-security events during the operation of SIPROTEC 5 devices, recordings are automatically
created and data is collected. All security-related events and alarms recorded in the internal device security log
can also be transmitted simultaneously to a central syslog server. This action allows safety-relevant events to
be recorded from various transformer stations with the requirements of standards and guidelines such as
IEEE 1686, IEC 62443, and the BDEW White Paper. Logging is started centrally on 1 or 2 self-selected syslog
servers. Combining different protocol data of the devices used gives you a general overview of the device
network. You can analyze and monitor this data. This action allows safety-critical events to be logged and
related changes to be tracked. Yet you can also track attacks on the operated devices by using the log data.
You can view the collected log data in the security log locally on the device display, irrespective of the current
operating mode of the device. The alarm and safety-critical indications are stored chronologically in the
security log. You cannot modify or delete these entries.
You can, for example, answer to the following questions:
• How many logon attempts have been made?
• When was the device configuration last updated?
You can find a full list of recorded security events under Recordings, Page 251.
Configuring the Central Syslog Server

If you have started DIGSI 5 and connected it to a device, select Security in the project tree. The Sec. Ev. Logg.
menu item contains the setting options for a central syslog server. You can activate up to 2 syslog servers.
In the General area, you define the capacity warning level of the device-internal security log.
You can activate logging under Syslog server A and/or B. Enter the following data:
• IP Address
• Server UDP port
• Module port
You can find additional information on the security log in chapter 8.5.7 Security Log.
Figure 11-4 shows an example of the setting options for the port and IP addresses in DIGSI for 2 syslog servers.
[sccenlog1-130417-01, 2, en_US]
Figure 11-4 UDP Port and IP Addresses of the Syslog Servers
With the adjustable Security log cap. warn. threshold, you can determine from which utilization of the
security log on a warning indication is issued. A warning threshold of 80 % means that the set capacity limit
has been reached after approx. 1600 entries in the security log. Further warning indications are issued when
the capacity limits of 85 %, 90 %, 95 %, and 98 % are reached.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
If the log organized as a ring buffer exceeds the 100 % capacity limit, the oldest entries are automatically over-
written and the capacity utilization is reset to 0 %.
When you read the security log using DIGSI 5, the capacity utilization is reset to 0 %. The indications remain in
the device. You must apply all settings with DIGSI 5.
NOTE
i If you downgrade the firmware to a version <V07.50, the device-internal log size is decreased from the
current value of 2048 entries to 500 entries. The older firmware supports only 500 entries in another
format. In this case, the most recent 500 entries are taken from the current/syslog-capable device status
and format and applied to the older firmware-appropriate format. The rest of the entries is lost.
After the downgrade, the contents of the internal log with its 2048 entries is deleted. A message that a
firmware downgrade has taken place is logged as the most recent entry in the ported log after the down-
grade.
Display via the On-Site Operating Panel

On the device display, you can check the settings for the syslog servers used. Figure 11-5 shows you an
example of the setting for the port and IP addresses of a syslog server on the device.
For this to happen, select on the device display:
• Main menu → Settings → Security → Sec. Ev. Logging

Event/Alarm Summary Syslog Message Event Information
Severity
Successful remote and local WARNING The content of the events for the successful logon
logon depends on whether RBAC is active or not and on the
location from which the logon is made: Remotely (for
example, DIGSI) or locally (on-site operation).
Manual logoff WARNING The events for the manual logoff are logged in the Audit-
Trail and transmitted using syslog UDP. The content of
the indication depends on whether RBAC is active or not.
Logoff determined by time WARNING The content of the indication depends on whether RBAC
is active or not.
Forcing control operations WARNING Events for control operations initiated locally or
remotely. For example:
• Changing the position of the poles
• Tripping/closing operations in relation to the
primary equipment
• Command operations in relation to the primary
equipment
• Mode-change operations in relation to the primary
equipment
• Start/cancellation of the switching sequence
• Change in coil position
• Control of sequential voltages/target voltages
• Control of the switching authority
• Controlling the winding selection

configuration for the following elements:
• User management
• User authentication
• Secure communication
• Settings for security supervision (logging)
Logon failed ALARM Events for a failed logon attempt. If RBAC is active, the
failed logons are logged after 3 attempts for one user
name within the configured time frame. Afterward, each
additional incorrect attempt for the same user name is
logged as well until the maximum number of logon
attempts has been reached. Once the number of logon
attempts has been exhausted, the logon for that user
name is blocked for the configured time span. That is,
additional logon attempts for that user name are refused
and logged, regardless of whether the combination of
user name and password is correct or not. Once the
blocking time has elapsed, the counter for the blocked
user name is reset. The counter for this user name is also
reset if a successful logon attempt occurs for this user
name or if the time span has elapsed without reaching
the maximum number of logon attempts.
Product restart ALARM Events upon restarting the device. Booting or restarting
the device by removing the power supply or by using a
device-internal restart mechanism, for example, a reset
button, switch-on sequence, or access to software, is
logged.
Invalid configuration and ALARM Events upon detection of an invalid configuration or
firmware firmware, for example, a SIPROTEC 5 device signature
check
NOTE
i The use of a confirmation ID is not logged. Only cyber security-related events are logged.
Availability via Communication Protocols

If necessary, you can send cyber safety-critical alarms or warning indications to a supervision system (such as a
control center) via the following communication protocols:
• IEC 60870-5-104
• DNP3
• IEC 61850
• IEC 60870-5-103
All warning indications or alarms are available as temporary indications.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
This data is transmitted in the following operating modes of the device:

• Simulation mode
• Process mode
• Fallback mode

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
11.9 Operational Security and Access Control

To access information on a SIPROTEC 5 device or to perform other actions on the device, you can optionally
enable the role-based access control (RBAC). After activation, you have to authenticate as a user at each
access.
You can connect all SIPROTEC 5 devices to a RADIUS3 authentication server containing the authentication
configuration. RADIUS is a client/server protocol and the client implementation is integrated in the SIPROTEC 5
device firmware.
[scsolradius, 1, en_US]
Figure 11-6 Authentication Server
During a user logon, the SIPROTEC 5 device sends the user name and password to a RADIUS authentication
server. This server checks the user data and, in case of successful authentication, sends the assigned roles of
the specific user back to the SIPROTEC 5 device.
SIPROTEC 5 devices have an advanced role-based access control with predefined roles. Users are assigned
roles; roles receive rights according to their functions. The assignment between users and roles is defined in
the configuration for a RADIUS server. The assignment of rights to roles is defined in the security configuration
for the SIPROTEC 5 device.
The following requirements are supported by SIPROTEC 5 devices:
• Minimum roles, role and right assignment from the IEC 62351-8 and IEEE 1686 standards
• Minimum roles and rights recommended in the BDEW white paper
• Centralized management of user logon information and roles
• Offline/emergency user accounts for role-based access control

You can enable or disable the role-based access control for a SIPROTEC 5 device via DIGSI 5.
NOTE
i If you have not activated the role-based access control, the device operates with a confirmation ID and
connection password (see chapter 11.7 Using Connection Passwords and Confirmation IDs).
RADIUS Server
The main tasks of the RADIUS server are the authentication and control of user access rights. During authenti-
cation, the service determines who the connecting user is. Unique user names and passwords are used to
check whether the user is actually who they claim.
If the user is clearly identified, the authorization handles assignment of the access rights. The user receives
specific access rights to data or services of the SIPROTEC 5 device. Furthermore, the data is recorded for later
analysis (audit trail).
The following data is recorded, for example:
• Connection attempts
• User name
• Time of logon
3 Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
RADIUS Server Settings

To activate the role-based access control, you first have to make the following settings via DIGSI 5. You can
activate up to 2 RADIUS servers. The following figure shows the possible connection between a SIPROTEC 5
device and the RADIUS servers.

NOTE
i Note that no emergency account exists after starting the access control (see 11.10 Emergency Restore).
NOTE
i Note that a connection password set before the activation of RBAC must be deactivated.
Logon Attempts
You can change the parameters for logon attempts in the following menu:
• Change the following 3 parameters if necessary.
[sc_passwsec, 1, en_US]
Figure 11-10 Logon attempts
• Max. login attempts

– With this parameter, you set the maximum number of sequential login attempts using a specific
user name.
• Time lapse
– With this parameter, you set the time range after which the number of login attempts is set back to
0 after the last unsuccessful attempt.
• Blocked duration
– With this parameter, you set the time during which the device remains blocked after the maximum
number of login attempts is reached.
If you log on with the correspond references, the login attempts are counted. Once the maximum number of
login attempts has been reached, logging on is not possible for the set Blocked duration. If this Blocked
duration has elapsed, logon can proceed once again.
User Cache Size

You can change the parameters of the role-based access in the following menu:
• Change the following parameters if necessary.
[sc_rbacacc, 1, en_US]
Figure 11-11 Access Options
• User cache size

– With this parameter, you define the maximum number of users on the device if the RADIUS server
has failed or is not accessible.
RADIUS Server Parameters

You must define the following parameters in order for a connection to be established between the SIPROTEC 5
device and a RADIUS server as the authentication server.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018

• This requires enabling the Enable Sec. Server check box.
• For server B, enter an IP address that is different from the one for server A.
• Follow the same steps as for the settings for the 1st server.
Assignment of Rights and Roles

The Table 11-1 shows an overview of the basics of the following rights and roles:
• IEEE 1686 rights
• BDEW white paper
• IEC 62351-8 role standard

User Management
A role is a combination of rights defined for the SIPROTEC 5 device. You can assign a role to users in various
contexts. The role(s) a user has in specific contexts determines what the user is or is not allowed to do in the
SIPROTEC 5 device.
You can find more information on the RADIUS server in the download area under → Cyber Security
Products and Solutions → Cyber Security General Downloads.
Further User Roles

The further user roles are available to allow working with users in SIPROTEC 5 devices that were used in firm-
ware versions <V07.80.
You can select the following roles only at the on-site operation panel of the SIPROTEC 5 device. These roles
must be configured on the RADIUS server:
• Operator_Switching
• Switching_Authority
• Interlocking_Mode
Logon on the Device

Authentication starts with the RADIUS client, the SIPROTEC 5 device in this case, sending an access request to
the RADIUS server.

11.10 Emergency Restore

Emergency Access
If the RADIUS server cannot be reached when logging on to the device and you cannot log on as a user, you
have the option to log on to the device using the emergency access despite this.
Siemens recommends configuring the emergency access for DIGSI 5 and the on-site operation during the
device commissioning or during the configuration of the cyber-security parameters. This also includes saving
and secure storage of the SCRF file (Secure Credential and Configuration Reset File) from the SIPROTEC 5
device. Dowloading the SCRF file and configuring the emergency access requires the security-administrator
role.
NOTE
i Store the SCRF file at a secure location because any user is able to use this file.
Load and back up the SCRF file when commissioning the device.
To do this, proceed as follows:
• Connect the SIPROTEC 5 device to a PC using a network cable.
• Start DIGSI 5.
• Select the device and open the Online menu item.
• Log on as security-administrator.
• Select Security.
• Select Download credentials reset file....
• Select a storage location on the PC, such as D:\Siprotec5SecurityData.
• Confirm the action with OK.

Figure 11-16 Dialog for Entering the Emergency Passwords
NOTE
i Note that the emergency password for on-site operation can be entered only directly on the device and
that the emergency password for DIGSI access can be entered only via DIGSI.
If the centralized user management (RADIUS server) cannot be accessed and you cannot log on as a user, you
can also access the device via DIGSI 5. You need the emergency password for DIGSI access for this.
NOTE
i You can use this emergency access only if you do not have access to the centralized user management of
the used server (for example, RADIUS).

NOTE
i Note that this file can always be used to reset the security settings and it must be effectively deleted from
the PC for this reason after resetting.

C53000-G5040-C003-9, Edition 06.2018
11.11 Decommissioning
Secure Reset to Factory Default Settings
To return the device to its factory default state, the signed SFRF file (Secure Factory Reset File) must be loaded
from the SIPROTEC 5 device first. Siemens recommends storing the SFRF file in a secure location. The security
administrator role is required for configuring the factory default state.
Load and back up the SFRF file when commissioning the device.
• Connect the SIPROTEC 5 device to a PC using a network cable.
• Start DIGSI 5.
• Select Download factory reset file....
• Select a storage location on the PC, for example, D:\Siprotec5SecurityData.
• Confirm the action with OK.

Glossary
Chatter blocking
A rapidly intermittent input (for example, owing to a relay contact fault) is disconnected after a parameteriz-
able monitoring time and therefore cannot generate any more signal changes. The function prevents the
system from overloading in the event of an error.
Continuous Function Chart

The Continuous Function Chart (CFC) is a programming language. It is used for programmable logic control-
lers. The programming language Continuous Function Chart is not defined in the standard IEC 61131-3, but
represents a current extension of IEC programming environments. CFC is a graphic programming language.
Function blocks are linked to one another. This represents an essential difference from conventional program-
ming languages, where sequences of commands are entered.
Control display
The control display becomes visible for devices with a large display after pressing the Control key. The diagram
contains the switching devices to be controlled in the feeder. The control display serves for implementing
switching operations. Specification of this diagram forms part of configuring.
Data window
The right area of the project window visualizes the content of the area selected in the navigation window. The
data window contains for example, indications or measured values of the information lists or the function
selection for parameterization of the device.

List view
The right area of the project window displays the names and symbols of the objects which are within a
container selected in the tree view. As the visualization is in the form of a list, this area is also referred to as list
view.
Metered value
Metered values are a processing function, used to determine the total number of discrete similar events
(counting pulses), for example, as integral over a time span. In the power supply utility field, electrical energy
is often recorded as a metered value (energy import/delivery, energy transport).
Navigation window
Left area of the project window, which visualizes the names and symbols of all containers of a project in the
form of a hierarchical tree structure.
Offline
If there is no communication connection between a PC program (for example, configuration program) and a
runtime application (for example, a PC application), the PC program is offline. The PC program executes in
Offline mode.
