1 Compatibility
The licenses for SICAM PAS CC V6.x, V7.x, and V8.0x continue to be valid for SICAM SCC
V9.0x, but they are not compatible with the authorizations of SICAM PAS CC V5 versions.
There is an upgrade license available for former V5 authorizations.

SIMATIC WinCC V7.3 (V7.3 Second Edition) must be installed with at least Update 16.

SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 must be installed with at least SP1 Update 4 and Patch 4/Update 5.
SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 without SP1 cannot be used.

SIMATIC WinCC V7.5 must be installed with at least Update 1.

Until Update 1 is available, the following restrictions apply:
- The monitoring of the compatibility key between SICAM PAS and SICAM SCC only
monitors the last imported SICAM PAS station.
- Acknowledge of the horn only takes effect after acknowledging the GO message.

Detailed references regarding SIMATIC WinCC and SIMATIC software can be found in the
WinCC Information System in Installation Requirements and on the following support websites:

Industrial Security Alerts

Information on security patches and security updates:
● http://www.industry.siemens.com/topics/global/en/industrial-security/news-alerts/

Microsoft Windows Patches/Updates: Compatibility with SIMATIC Products

Note the latest information on compatibility of SIMATIC products with Microsoft patches and
updates:
● FAQ 18752994 (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/18752994/)

The required hotfixes/updates for SIMATIC WinCC are available on the SICAM SCC DVD.
Check whether a new hotfix/update for an installed component is available on the DVD.

In order to be able to run both SICAM SCC and DIGSI 4 on the same computer, install DIGSI
first and then SICAM SCC. Uninstalling just one product is not recommended.

NOTE
After the installation of SICAM SCC, if you install or uninstall SICAM PAS/PQS V8.03 or earlier
or SICAM PQ Analyzer V3.03 or earlier on the same computer, you must repair the SICAM
SCC installation.
To do so, use the functionality provided by the Windows Control Panel.

2 Converting Projects from Former Versions

Observe the configuration notes in chapter 13 of the manual.

NOTE
The SICAM PAS Protocol Suite V7 is no longer included. Change your SICAM SCC projects to
the SICAM PAS Protocol Suite standard channel before updating the software.

3 General Restrictions
NOTE
If you migrate a SIMATIC WinCC project or use the OS project editor, deactivate the SICAM
Add-in in Graphics Designer’s Addin-Manager before.
When the Graphics Designer is opened, the SICAM Add-in takes a few seconds. Since the
Graphics Designer gets frequently opened and closed in the background during these
operations, an activated SICAM Add-in could cause delays or abortion of the operations.

3.1 SICAM Wizards

Using the PAS or IEC Wizard is only possible in projects which have not been configured before
via TEA-X Wizard or SICAM Network Manager.
If you want to configure the PAS or IEC connections, you have to pass through the SICAM PAS
or IEC Wizard with the option Create SICAM components in project without import data
before using TEA-X Wizard or SICAM Network Manager.
After this initialization all Wizards and the Network Manager can be used.

If you use Windows 2008 Server SP2 32 Bit, there may be sporadic problems with the WinCC
Project Manager when deleting all imported data of a station/a project. Errors during the
deletion are indicated in the Trace Window. Errors occurring during deletion are reported in the
Report window, and the WinCC Project Manager closes. In this case, create a WinCC Project
and copy the diagrams and other components into the new project.

If you switch the runtime language in SIMATIC WinCC, you have to close and re-open the
WinCC project before import/update, in order to get the texts of the import data for the Alarm
Logging System to be written into the text library in the correct language. When updating a
station, the same runtime language must always be used as with the first import.

NOTE
When importing data, observe the maximum number of tags that you have licensed for
SIMATIC WinCC. In SICAM systems every data structure is numbered as a tag.

If the maximum number of your licensed tags is exceeded, no further external tags are created
by WinCC. However, the internal parts of the tag structures are created. If this problem
occurred you have to delete all imported data of the project with the Wizard and then delete the
remaining external structure tags and internal single tags (*.RTInfo, *.RTCmd, *.RTSync, and
*.IXHook).
After installing a license for the required number of tags (the “smaller” license has to be deleted!)
or removing tags from the mapping to SICAM SCC, you can do a re-import.

3.1.1 SICAM IEC Wizard

When importing SXD files with the communication protocol IEC 60870-5-104 from the SICAM
TOOLBOX II, the entry [DEFAULT] in the GW1703.ini file (in the WinCC project under
\GWData\<Stationsname>\ComConfig\str) is wrongly inserted as [Default]. This causes the
communication driver to ignore this block. Change this entry to [DEFAULT] manually.

3.1.2 SICAM TEA-X Wizard

Using the TEA-X Wizard is now also possible in projects which had been configured before with
one of the other Wizards.
With the TEA-X Wizard several stations (import data-sets) can be imported and updated now.

Close the WinCC Configuration Studio before importing data with the TEA-X Wizard to avoid
access contentions.

Readme

3.2 SICAM Network Manager

The SICAM Network Manager uses the TEA-X Wizard for creating the data in the WinCC
project. When you create an SNMP station with a new project, you cannot use the SICAM PAS
or IEC Wizard for import afterwards.

If you want to configure PAS or IEC connections later, you can, for example, pass through the
SICAM PAS Wizard with the option Create SICAM components in project without import data
before starting the SICAM Network Manager.
After this initialization all Wizards and the Network Manager can be used.

For redundant SICAM SCC systems, each server enters messages in the message lists.
Because of the Online synchronization for Alarm Logging of the WinCC redundancy, you
then see these messages twice.

3.3 SIMATIC WinCC Web Navigator

For running this SICAM plugin the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages 2013 are required. The
setup is contained on the SICAM SCC DVD
(..\SetupData\InstallationData\Prerequisites\vcredist_x86_2013.exe).

After installation of the plugin, the SCCCommon.dll file has to be registered on the Web
Navigator Client. To do so, execute the SCCCommon.bat file with administrator rights in the
Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Siemens\Bin folder.

The PQ Analyzer cannot be called from the WebNavigator Client.

3.3.1 Display of Switching Objects up to SICAM SCC V7.02 with own Pictures
If user-specific bitmaps, configured without absolute path in SICAM SCC up to V7.02, are used
for display within the switching objects, these are not displayed during runtime in WinCC V7.2
or higher. The default search path is relative to the folder Program Files (x86)\Siemens\WinCC\
WebNavigator\Client\bin. You can reference the used bitmaps using this path or store them in
this location.

3.4 Topology
To be able to use the new Topological Coloring of V9.00 or higher, you have to adjust the
existing configurations. Consider the notes regarding conversion in the manual.
The previous Topological Coloring is not supported anymore.

3.5 Topology with SIMATIC WinCC V7.4 SP1 and V7.5

If you use pictures from previous WinCC versions, or library objects, check the connections to
other objects. The connections might get lost when inserting, converting, or copying picture
areas. In this case, re-connect the connectors with the switching and bay overview objects.

3.6 Dynamic Alarm Filter

3.6.1 DAF – Configuration of Alarm System

Notes on configuring the Alarm System when using DAF:
- In the WinCC Graphics Designer, from Project Library > Alarm Logging templates
import a SICAM SCC Alarm list for DAF into a Graphics Designer picture.
- To activate flashing in the message lists, change the following properties:
o In the Alarm list for DAF, open the properties of the WinCC AlarmControl and
go to the Message Blocks tab.
For each message block select the Flashing on option to activate flashing.
o Open the properties of the message blocks in the Alarm Logging and select the
Flash option for each message block to activate flashing.

Unrestricted – Siemens Aktiengesellschaft Page 5 of 29

SICAM SCC V9.03 2018-12
Readme

o Open the properties of the message types in the Alarm Logging and select the
Flashing on option to activate flashing.

It is possible to display the user name in the message lists during runtime, when the
DAF is used. When a message is entered into to the message list the content of the
variable DAF_Username is written into the User Name DAF column.

Write the current user name, e.g. while sending a command, into the variable
DAF_UserName. The variable can be found in the tag management within the internal
tags folder in the SICAMDAF group.
In the Graphics Designer open a picture with a SICAM SCC message list for DAF.
In the Message lists tab of the WinCC AlarmControl properties you can now add the
User Name DAF from the available message blocks to the message list.

If you use the DAF_Username for messages that have to be acknowledged, consider
the corresponding configuration information. This allows you to configure an operation
message as acknowledgment message, containing the user who was logged on during
acknowledgment.

Messages which are displayed colored in the event list are displayed with GO color for
both COME and GO state.

3.7 SICAM Switching Device Objects V8.0 and later

Displaying user-defined texts in the window of a runtime dialog via UserStringID property is not
possible in the current version.

3.7.1 Touch Operation

The touch functionality is not supported by SICAM SCC with SIMATIC WinCC earlier than
V7.4 SP1.

NOTE
To be able to operate left and right mouse buttons via touch screen for SICAM switching objects
in older WinCC versions, place a transparent button on top of the SICAM switch and call the
same object functions for the button events Mouse Click and Press Right as provided in the
SICAM switch for OnLeftClick and OnRightClick.
However, in the VB Script of the button you have to hand over the name of the object. For
example, item.ShowSwitchDialog becomes Screenitems("<objectname of SICAM
switch>").ShowSwitchDialog.

3.7.2 Displaying Switching Objects with own Pictures

The controls delivered with SICAM SCC up to V7.02 have been optimized to considerably
increase the amount of displayable objects and to reduce the display times. If the switching
objects are displayed with pictures, these have to be newly configured within the switching
objects.

3.8 SICAM IndustrialX Controls up to V7.02

The number of objects that can be active at the same time within a WinCC project (server plus
all clients) is limited. This is because all IndustrialX objects register their variables separately to
WinCC. Additionally, the limit depends on the configuration; on standard systems, approx. 1500
to 1800 objects are possible.

Click OK to confirm your selection of process tags in the tag-selection dialog. A double-click
would only open an empty field.

Readme

The graphic objects

• LS/TR with CScript
• LS/TR with CScript, SBO and QoC
do not support command cancelation between Select and Switching command. Thus, the
time-out for the Select command in the device has to expire before a new switching is possible.
Alternatively, the cancel command can be sent via a separate button.

3.8.1 Displaying Switching Objects with own Pictures

If user-specific bitmaps, configured without absolute path, are used for display within the
switching objects, these are not displayed during runtime in WinCC V7.4 and higher. The
default search path is relative to the folder Programs (x86)\Siemens\WinCC\bin. You can
reference the used bitmaps using this path or store them in this location.

3.8.2 SICAM SCC LS/TR IndustrialX Control

For Version V7.02 or earlier, the switching objects cannot be used with the script control of the
command sequence (LS/TR with CScript) in the case of connection to SICAM PAS and when
using the Select before Operate (SBO) and Synchronisation with ILSA protocol functions.
With these switching objects up to SICAM SCC V7.02, when using Select before Operate and
Synchronisation with ILSA protocol only internal, but no user-defined dialogs can be used.

For the connection via the IEC Communication Suite the LS/TR object with CScript, SBO and
QoC is available in the library. This object supports the output via CScript.

3.8.3 SICAM WinCC V3 IndustrialX Control

The IndustrialX controls of SICAM WinCC V3 (SICAM Switching_Device1.ocx and SICAM
Switching_Device2.ocx) cannot be used anymore. They are displayed by the Graphics
Designer and can be migrated to suitable SICAM SAS objects via a pre-defined task from the
SICAM toolbar.

3.9 IEC Communication Suite

3.9.1 IEC Communication Suite – Buffered Report with IEC 61850

With redundant SICAM SCC systems, double entries may occur in the message lists if the
IEC 61850 devices operate with Buffered Report.
This behavior especially occurs after connection interruptions or after restart of the SCC
Runtime on one of the redundant SCC systems.

3.9.2 IEC Communication Suite – Connection of IEC 60870-5-104 Devices

Process time stamps are required in local time on the IEC 60870-5-104 connection of the
IEC Communication Suite. The devices have to be set to local time.
If the devices are connected via a SICAM RTU, the RTU converts the time stamps into local
time. In this configuration, the devices can send the time stamps in UTC.

3.10 Connection to SICAM PAS from SICAM PAS V7

3.10.1 Redundant SICAM PAS

At redundancy switchover at a SICAM PAS system running commands are cancelled after the
switchover (e.g. an active select). The negative command feedbacks which are sent thereby
are not indicated in SICAM SCC, in case a positive feedback came before. The SICAM SCC
switching devices hence show the command as active. Therefore the next command to this
address will be refused. A repeated command output will work as expected.

3.11 Connection to SICAM PAS of Earlier Versions

3.11.1 SICAM PAS Channels of Earlier Versions

NOTE
The SICAM PAS Protocol Suite V7 is no longer included. Change your SICAM SCC projects to
the SICAM PAS Protocol Suite standard channel before updating the software.

The channels of earlier SICAM PAS CC/SCC versions do not support the current switching
device objects introduced with SICAM SCC V8.00 and the SICAM SCC Runtime Data Server.

If you use one of the V5, V6 or V7 SICAM PAS channels included in the scope of delivery in
order to set up a connection to SICAM PAS, you use the V7.x IndustrialX switching device
objects which are also available in the Graphic Objects Library.
The channels of earlier versions do not provide the additional process data required for the
SICAM SCC Runtime Data Server. For this reason its functions are not available for tags from
these channels (e.g. spontaneous blinking).

3.11.2 Normalization DLL

If you connect a SICAM PAS V5 or V6 to SICAM SCC via one of the V5 or V6 SICAM PAS
channels included in the scope of delivery, instabilities may occur in the WinCC AlarmLogging
Runtime. To prevent this, in the Alarm Logging editor of the WinCC Configuration Studio
connect the PAS V5 or V6 messages with the PasNormV6.nll Normalization DLL from SICAM
PAS V6.

After changing the ProjectID resp. HMIInterfaceID (e.g. when creating a redundant project)
these settings have to be redone.

3.12 SICAM Valpro

For WinCC Clients with own projects, SICAM Valpro cannot access the Tag Logging Archives
of the WinCC servers.

3.13 WinCC Report Designer

3.13.1 WinCC Alarm Log with Line Printer

If necessary, the print layout for a line printer (SICAM_SIGNALLIST_LINEPRINTER.RP1) must

be adjusted to meet specific requirements of individual printers (regarding the number of
columns and lines).
Be aware to specify a font and margin settings suitable for your printer to ensure that at least
120 characters can be represented per line.

The line printer must be connected to a parallel printer interface.

When following the instructions of the SICAM PAS Wizard, the layout of the SICAM line printer
is copied into the project directory using the Create SICAM Alarm Logging System option.
When installing a new version of SICAM SCC, the sicam_signallist_lineprinter.rp1 file must
be copied from the ”..\WinCC\Syslay” directory into the ”..\<Projectname>\prt” directory.

3.13.2 WinCC Message Sequence Report with Page Printer

With some printer drivers, individual columns of the alarm log may be shown too small and
some characters are cut. In this case, it is possible to adjust the column width manually to
match the corresponding page layout. To do this, open the Properties dialog of the dynamic
table. Under Geometry, double-click the Columns property. In the next dialog that opens, you
can define the column width.

When opening the Report Designer for the first time, the SICAM layouts are copied into the
project directory. When installing a new version of SICAM SCC, the following files must be
copied from the ”..\WinCC\Syslay” directory into the ”..\<Projectname>\prt” directory:
• @sicam_signallist_pageprinter.rpl
• @sicam_signallist_pageprinter_land.rpl
• @sicam_short_term_pageprinter.rpl
• @sicam_short_term_pageprinter_land.rpl

General Information
NOTE
Conversion of topological coloring required
• The Runtime for topological coloring was converted to Visual Basic Script in order to
improve its performance and functionality. This means that the topological coloring must be
generated once again.

Licensing
• SICAM SCC can be operated with a full license, with a 14-day trial license or in Demo
mode. The Demo mode is only available for SICAM SCC V8 components.
• During operation without valid SICAM SCC licenses a trial license is offered for most of the
components. This license can only be used once and is valid over a period of 14 days after
activating the Trial mode.
• The Trial mode can also be skipped; in this case SICAM SCC switches over to Demo
mode.
• The purpose of the Demo mode is to enable operation for presentation purposes and for
changing configuration settings on site if e.g. only a Runtime license has been installed.
• In Demo mode configuration in the Graphics Designer is possible for approximately 30
minutes. Afterwards the Graphics Designer must be closed. Data cannot be imported in
Demo mode using the SICAM wizards.
• A reminder message is shown in Runtime at cyclical intervals in order to inform the user
that SICAM SCC runs in Demo mode.

NOTE
If you do not want to show the Trial box during presentations, make sure that the Trial period
has expired before you start your presentation.

o Following deletion by the Recpro Collector, the last 10 entries will remain by default in the
administration file in SICAM PAS CC V6.03 until now because SIPROTEC 4 devices
cannot store a larger number of fault records.
o Certain devices from third-party manufacturers can store a larger number fault records.
For the Number of Deleted Records entry in the RpCol.ini file, you should therefore
define a value which is greater than the maximum number of the fault records stored in a
protection device. (Default value in the new RpCol.ini = 100).

In the Recpro setup directory the current Recpro hotfix may be available; install this as well, if
applicable.

SICAM RecProtec
• SICAM RecProtec is not included in the installation of SICAM SCC V7.01. You can
continue using SICAM RecProtec V6.0x. The SICAM SCC V7.01 DVD includes a SICAM
Recpro V6.03 SP6 installation with SICAM RecProtec. It can be installed from there.

polling cycle.
• If the ALM service has not yet run up, the license query is repeated 3 times every 30
seconds.
• The stability of the communication component has been improved.
• If the communication component cannot be started, the start attempt is repeated 3 times
every 30 seconds.
• For the upfsam_config.exe, the tooltip for the fault record overview has been completed.

SICAM redundancy components

• Alarm Acknowledge Sync
The synchronization of acknowledgment data in the Alarm Logging is done automatically
as of SIMATIC WinCC V6.2. To activate the synchronization functionality for SIMATIC
WinCC V6.0 SP4 installations, you have to install a registry key. The corresponding .reg file
"AckSyncChannels.reg" can be found as .zip file on the product DVD within the
ProductEnhancements\AlarmAcknowledgeSync4WinCCV60 directory.

• SICAM IX State Sync

The application IX State Sync must no longer be started via Windows Startup folder, but
has to be inserted in the WinCC startup list. Thus, the application is automatically started
and stopped together with the WinCC Runtime.
Add SICAM IX State Sync to the WinCC startup list.
To do this first you have to load the SynchTool.exe file from the \PAS CC\SynchTool\bin
subdirectory of the SICAM installation directory via Add… under Additional
Tasks/Applications.

Without a running WinCC Runtime, IX State Sync stops automatically. Therefore the
WinCC Runtime must be running during configuration of IX State Sync.

• In the bay overview object, the output behavior for line color changes has been improved.
• Improvement of dynamic behavior in pdlrt.exe. When diagrams with many active
topological objects are open, WinCC pdlrt.exe will no longer be closed sporadically.
• If topological coloring is used, consider the following notes:
• To reduce the display times, the transmission of the OFF color in switching device
objects upon initializing has been removed. For this reason, the line parameters and
nodes must always be defined in OFF color.

Existing configurations can be adapted by means of the SICAM toolbar.

Proceed as follows to simultaneously modify the color of several objects:

Define a selection area, select a line or node in this area and then select identical
objects.

• Upon initializing, the ground objects must transmit the grounded state to the line,
because they are no longer triggered by the switching objects.

Existing configurations can be adapted by means of the SICAM toolbar.

Proceed as follows to ensure that the ground objects transmit the grounded state to the
line upon initializing:
Define a selection area, select a ground object in this area and then select identical
objects. In the SICAM menu under settings, select upgrade Topological Ground and
then Group parameterize…. In this way, you connect the ActivateControls variable to
the RGBValue property of all ground objects.

• To be able to use the new “substitutions” function in existing projects created in older
versions, the related structure types must be converted.
There are 2 possibilities for the conversion of the structure types:
Possibility 1:
Follow the description in the configuration information “CompPack_ConfigTool.pdf“, from
SICAM PAS CC V7.0 on in the user guide.
Possibility 2:
Delete the “SICAM Process Tags” with the Wizard. Then delete the structure types in your
project manually and import the “SICAM Process Tags” again with the Wizard. Extended
structure types are generated by these steps.

SICAM PAS Channel

• To be able to display different SICAM PAS versions simultaneously in a SICAM PAS CC
project, different channels (SICAM PAS PROTOCOL SUITE V5 and V6) are provided for
the connection to SICAM PAS V5.11 or SICAM PAS V6.00.
These channels connect only to the corresponding SICAM PAS versions. This means that
data in a channel for SICAM PAS V5.11 always stay in this version, even if you install a new
SICAM PAS CC version.
In contrast to that, the SICAM PAS CC default channel (SICAM PAS PROTOCOL SUITE)
always communicates with the corresponding SICAM PAS version. The data in the default
channel are migrated automatically to a new (higher) version, so that it is not necessary to
change the configuration after an update.

The SIMATIC WinCC Tag Management allows you to load the SICAM PAS PROTOCOL
SUITE V5.chn or the SICAM PAS PROTOCOL SUITE V6.chn. Afterwards, select the
desired channel PAS DATA SERVER V5 or PAS DATA SERVER V6 in the SICAM PAS
Wizard during the data import.
• For more details on the configuration and update of SICAM PAS/SICAM PAS CC systems
with different versions, refer to the configuration information “CompPack_ConfigTool.pdf”,
from SICAM PAS CC V7.0 on in the user guide.

SICAM Alarm Logging System

• It is possible to filter indication lists for process values in text form with SIMATIC WinCC
V7.0 SP1.

SICAM PDR
• The function PDR (Post Disturbance Review) is reached by using different components
simultaneously:
• SICAM PDR Recorder (separate download)
The component SICAM PDR Recorder is available with the SICAM PAS V6.00 PDR
Recorder Add-on V1.00 (separate download). The task of this function in SICAM PAS is
to record the desired data of connected devices - tripped by an event (Trigger) - for a
predefined period. The resulting data are called PDR Records.
• SICAM PDR Player
The component SICAM PDR Player is available. The SICAM PDR Player has 3
components: SICAM PDR Collector allows you to transmit the PDR Records to an
archive and evaluation computer. SICAM Recpro Explorer allows you to navigate in the
archive. The SICAM PDR Viewer is used to evaluate data via graphical and tabular
representations.

SICAM Recpro
• Customer-specific copy function in the Recpro Collector.
• The user interface can now also be switched to Russian or Chinese.
• Recpro supports the same functions as Recpro for SICAM WinCC V5.03.

SICAM RecProtec
• Fault-record transmission from SIPROTEC 4 devices possible via a direct connection and
via modem connection.

For more detailed information, refer to the SICAM RecProtec manual.

For the operation, Siemens recommends the same modems as for DIGSI (see
www.siprotec.de)

SICAM redundancy components

• New “IX State Sync” application and comparison of acknowledgments of the alarm lists.
The following changes are applied to this application:
• The Wizard creates an internal tag “SICAMPASCCSynchState”. The application “IX
State comparison” needs an internal “string”-type tag “SICAMPASCCSynchState” to
detect, whether WinCC Runtime is running.
The application writes the state cyclically into this tag.
If the application can write into this tag, the WinCC Runtime is running.
• The setup creates an entry in the Windows Registry.
It sets the value of the “IXOperatingMode" setting in the Registry Key
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siemens\SICAM PAS CC\SETUP" to 1.
This leads switching device objects to take over changes from the *.IXHook tag into their
own state.

SICAM Switching Objects (IndustrialX Controls)

• A new function has been implemented for substitutions.
• Faster display-refresh rates:
• Controls now provide a new property referred to as “Activate“. This property must be
connected to a WinCC tag of the “binary” type. The tag must have the starting value “1”.
Controls can only log on to the WinCC data management if the related tag has the value
“1”. If the tag connection is missing or the tag value is not “1”, then the switching device
objects show the states “not actual” and “disturbed position”!
• If you use picture windows with tag prefix, then the prefix also has an impact on the
activation tag associated with the “Activate” property. In this case, create a single tag
manually for each prefix used in the tag management. Example: The tag
“ActivateControls” is associated to the “Activate” property. The tag prefix of the picture
window is “Bay_32_”. In this case, create an internal binary tag with the name
“Bay_32_ActivateControls” and the starting value “1” in the WinCC Tag Management in
the SICAMAdmin group.

• Utility software for upgrades

A utility software is provided for upgrades of previous versions to V6.00. The utility software
connects the new property of all controls of a WinCC diagram with a selectable WinCC tag.
The utility software can be opened in the Graphics Designer via the “SICAM – Upgrade
Controls…” menu item. The correct name of the control property is assigned by default.
The tag name is a suggestion you can always change.
When clicking “OK”, the tag connections are shown on all controls in the active diagram.

SICAM Graphic Object Library

• Graphic object libraries with SIMATIC WinCC V6.x and V7.0 objects are available. The
Wizard imports the library corresponding to the SIMATIC WinCC version into your project
(The 2 libraries can be found in the “lib” folder of your SICAM PAS CC installation directory.
If necessary, you can copy the desired library manually as library.pxl into the WinCC project
index.).
• This version is used to install new SICAM PAS CC V6.00 graphic objects and extensions of
the WinCC Graphics Designer which support the topological coloring of WinCC diagrams
during runtime.
• Measured-value objects with the new substitution function

SICAM Valpro
• The user interface can now also be switched to Russian.

SICAM Web Navigator Plug-ins

• Updated Web Navigator plug-ins for all supported SIMATIC WinCC versions.
• To configure an automatic diagram change to an empty diagram without operating options
in case of compatibility-key errors, insert the “HelperObject WebNavCompKeyPicChanger”
into your Web diagrams and set the “Display” property to NO.
