PQ Data and Fault Record Transmission

Security – TLS Encryption
Expert Parameters
General Parameters
Name
Under Name, you can enter a unique name for the interface. The name entered here is adopted from the source in the topology.
The Interface name must be unique within an application. SICAM PAS/PQS tolerates identical interface names for different
communication protocols.
NOTE
This name is used as the directory name for protocols that store fault recordings. Therefore, use neither special
characters nor reserved words such as COM[number], LPT[number], CON, PRN, AUX, or NUL.
Description
Description allows you to enter further information about the interface (e.g. to keep a change history).
Redundancy
Under Redundancy, you define whether the communication takes place via a redundant interface. The parameters of the
redundant interface are displayed in an additional column.
(Value range: Yes, No)
(Default value: No)
Dependency
NOTE
The Dependency parameter is only valid if Redundancy is set to Yes.
If you set Dependency to Yes (dependent), the automatic switchover only takes place if the connections to all devices
connected to an interface fail. If the connection to one out of several devices fails, the interface remains active and is not
switched over.
If you set Dependency to No (independent), an automatic switchover is performed for this specific device. If the connection to
one subdevice fails, the communication with this device takes place via the redundant interface.
NOTE
If you use a modem splitter or an RTU with communication interface, select dependent.
(Value range: dependent, independent)
Transmission Parameters
You can define the following Transmission parameters:
GOOSE monitoring
This parameter defines whether GOOSE data can be imported.
If this parameter is set to Yes, you import GOOSE data by selecting the GOOSE column in the Import - select elements dialog.
The GOOSE parameter cannot be changed after the import of GOOSE data. In order to change the setting, you must delete and
re-import the device with selected/unselected GOOSE column.
NOTE
If GOOSE is configured, you must enable the IEC 61850 GOOSE option in the Feature Enabler. Otherwise the
runtime does not start, also not for configured MMS lists.
(Default value: )
IP address / Subnet mask
The IP address and Subnet mask parameters act as a common network filter for the devices to be imported. All devices
belonging to the same network are preselected in the import selection dialog provided that they comply with the existing
parameterization context (e.g. the redundancy status).
l MMS list
If the default value 0.0.0.0 is used for both parameters, no network filter is applied. All relevant devices are preselected.
l GOOSE list
If the default value 0.0.0.0 is used, no GOOSE data can be imported. Therefore, the GOOSE column has a dark background
in the Import - select elements dialog. GOOSE data is imported only, if it is available in the specified AP (access point).
NOTE
If the IP address has also been assigned using a system configurator such as DIGSI, you must enter the same IP
address here.
(Default value: 0.0.0.0)
Activate asset monitoring
Here,the Activate asset monitoring parameter decides whether asset information (list of variables) is retrieved from devices
connected to this interface:
l Yes, asset information is retrieved
l No, asset information is not retrieved
(Default value: No)

You can define the following parameters for the transmission of PQ data and fault records:
NOTE
Configure the following parameters only on a computer that time zone is set as on the runtime computer, for
example, during commissioning.
Transmit data stored in device

With this parameter you define which fault records and PQ data are transmitted:
l All fault records and PQ data in the device
l Only those from a defined point in time
If you select From point in time, only the recordings in the device will be transmitted from the configured point in time. These
settings can be made under Start date and Start time.
(Value range: All, From point in time)
(Default value: All)
Start date
With this parameter you define the start date from when recordings in the device will be transmitted. Enter a date later than
1.1.1970.
(Default value: Today’s date)
Start time
With this parameter you define the start time from when recordings in the device will be transmitted.
(Value range: 12:00 AM, 1:00 AM,......,11:00 PM)
(Default value: 12:00 AM)
Interrogation cycle [min]
Here, you enter the period for the cyclical request of fault records and PQ data in minutes.
PQ data and fault records are transmitted:
l cyclically according to the defined interrogation cycle period
l spontaneous once a fault has occurred, if you use the …$RcdMade telegram address
If you use the information with the …$RcdMade telegram address of the fault recorder for mapping, you will receive the data
once a fault has occurred, independent of the length of the interrogation cycle defined. In this case, Siemens recommends
setting the interrogation cycle to a high value (for example, 120 minutes) to minimize internal processes for providing PQ data
and to keep the system load low.
If you do not use the information with the …$RcdMade telegram address of the fault recorder for mapping, you will only receive
the data after the expiration of the interrogation cycle period. For a contemporary transmission of fault records, select a short
interrogation cycle period (for example, 5 minutes). This increases the system load.
(Value range: 0 deactivates the cyclic interrogation, 1...1440)
(Default value: 5)
Activate fault record transmission
Here, the Activate fault record transmission parameter setting of the devices of this interface is displayed:
l Yes/No if the parameter setting is the same in all devices
l Different if the parameter setting varies between the devices
l Unknown if no device has been inserted for the interface yet
Furthermore, you activate or deactivate the fault record transmission for all the devices of this interface.
However, the activation of the fault record transmission can be set for each device of the interface individually.
(Value range: Yes, No, Different, Unknown)
(Default value: Unknown)
Support of the legacy RECPRO archive

In this field you activate or deactivate the support for SICAM Recpro Collector V6.
If you set Yes, fault records are stored in the Recpro V6-compatible (source) archive whose path is indicated in the Fault record
directory parameter.
If you set No, fault records are stored in the archive of the station (V7). To this end, the Archive application must have been
inserted in the project and configured accordingly.
(Default value: No)
Fault record directory

This field indicates the fault record directory of the devices connected to the interface.
(Display of the default path)

Security – TLS encryption is only available if the Secure Communication feature has been enabled in the Feature Enabler
and a TCP/IP connection is used.
The parameters concerning Security – TLS encryption define the encryption on the transport layer.
Activate TLS encryption
With this parameter you activate TLS-Encryption with EST communication.

The value No deactivates the TLS encryption.
NOTE
Imported certificates are not permissible for encrypting the IEC 61850 application.
(Value range: No, With EST communication)
(Default value: No)
Session count
This parameter defines how many messages are to be transmitted with the session keys. The session keys will be renewed
automatically as soon as the Session count (i.e. the maximum number of messages exchanged) has been reached.
The renewal is performed while the connection is running.
The value 0 disables the monitoring function. The disaibling of the monitoring function does not correspond to the standard.
(Value range: 0; 1000...2 147 483 647)
(Default value: 1000)
Session interval [s]
This parameter defines the time period during which the session keys are valid. The session keys will be renewed automatically
as soon as this period has expired.
The renewal is performed while the connection is running.
The value 0 disables the monitoring function. The disabling of the monitoring function does not correspond to the standard.
(Value range: 0...1 000 000)

Cipher timeout [s]
This parameter restricts the time in seconds which is required for establishing a secure connection.
If the connection could not be established successfully during the specified time period, the connection is cut again.
(Value range: 0...1 000 000)
(Default value: 60)
CRL interval [s]
(CRL = Certificate Revocation List)

No cyclical online service is supported. The certificate revocation list is managed in the Templates view.
If e. g. a key has been cracked, the corresponding certificate must be disabled.
If 0 is entered here, the validity of the certificates is not verified periodically.
(Value range: 0...1 000 000)
Expert Parameters
You can define the following Expert parameters:
Manufacturer and firmware version
This parameter specifies:

l The manufacturer of the device.
l The firmware version of the connected device type: Data can be buffered using this firmware version or later versions.
The user can specify several manufacturers and firmware versions.
This parameter must be specified for the following reason:
A specific firmware version (or later) is required for data buffering in the device. For more information on firmware versions
supporting data buffering in the device please contact the device manufacturer.
The firmware version is read from the device during operation and compared with the version indicated in the parameter.
If the firmware version of the device is too old and does not support data buffering, the related feature is deactivated (device and
list).
(Syntax: Manufacturer:Version; e. g. xxx:01.00.01; yyy:10.0.0;)
(Default value: SIEMENS:3.01.06;)
Invert DP intermediate state
Use this parameter to adjust the mapping of the disturbed and intermediate position of double-point indications to the individual
telecontrol protocol. This does not affect the mapping of ON and OFF.
(Default value: No)
Command actual/setpoint comparison
Setting the Command actual/setpoint comparison parameter to No enforces a command output if the setpoint value is equal
to the actual value.
(Default value: Yes)
Chatter blocking held
Setting the Chatter blocking held interface parameter to Yes ensures that messages with the Chatter blocking attribute are
transferred as blocked.
Setting the value of the parameter to No ensures that messages with the Chatter blocking attribute are transferred as not
topical.
(Default value: No)
Route test information
Here you define whether the items of information in test mode are routed.
If you select Yes, all items of information are routed.
If you select No, the items of information marked as test information are not routed. Commands marked as test information are
acknowledged negatively.

Compatibility keys check

Set the Compatibility keys check to Yes to check if the compatibility key of all IEC 61850 devices under this interface matches
with the SICAM PAS.
Set the Compatibility keys check to No to skip the compatibility check between IEC 61850 devices and SICAM PAS.
Device Properties
NOTE
Devices that communicate with SICAM PAS/PQS via the IEC 61850 Master application insert in your station
configuration by importing it.
The imported configuration file, which was created with the DIGSI or a third party configuration tool, usually
already contains the correctly parameterized device properties. In most cases, therefore, you will only have to
check the device properties for IEC 61850 devices in the Configuration view, but not change them.
You can check the following Device properties here and adjust them in individual cases:
General Parameters
Communication Parameters
Security Configuration
Expert Parameters
Supported Communication Services

Topology Assignment
General Parameters
Name
Name contains a unique name for the device taken from the imported file.
NOTE
When inserting the device, the name of the device template or the name from the import file can be applied by
deleting the content of the name field (e.g. "Device").
The device name must be unique below an interface. Identical devices on different interfaces of the IEC 61850 application can
have the same name.
NOTE
Siemens recommends you link identical devices to SICAM PAS/PQS via different interfaces. This will make re-
importing device configurations easier if required at any time later.
NOTE
Using a special character (e.g. / \ * % ") here may result in problems with fault record transmission.
Device Group
This parameter is used to group devices that all have a similar configuration (parameter, mapping, and topology assignment).
Description
Description allows you to enter further information about the device (e.g. to keep a change history).
Device template
The Device template used is shown here.
The device template is defined once on inserting the device into the configuration tree.
After that it is no longer possible to replace the device template.
Import file
Click ... to select an XML file to be imported.
NOTE
Parameters might be changed by the import process.
After inserting the device template, this parameter is no longer displayed.
NOTE
SICAM PAS/PQS supports the import of IEC 61850 Ed. 1 ICD files. Instantiate the ICD files of IEC 61850 Ed. 2
via the IEC 61850 System Configurator to import the resulting IID or SCD files into SICAM PAS/PQS.
Buffer time [ms]

The buffer time specifies the time period from the arrival of spontaneous information until its further transmission. Additional
value changes arriving during this time can therefore be transmitted via a report.
Data which is not contained in a list is buffered during this time.
Buffering is deactivated if the value is 0.
NOTE
For this function, the Report Setting: BufTime writeable communication service must be set to Yes. The
parameter is imported from the SCD file and should not be modified.
Data buffering is deactivated if the firmware version is too old and does not support this feature (see properties of
the Interface, Expert Parameters, Manufacturer and Firmware version parameter).
(Value range 0...3 600 000)
(Default value: 50)
SCD device name

unique identification of the device in the SCD file again. On non-Siemens devices, the SCD device name and the device name
are identical.
GOOSE monitoring
This parameter shows whether GOOSE data is imported and the GOOSE monitoring is enabled. This is a non-editable field. In
order to change the setting, update the device with the GOOSE column selected/deselected.
Activate access to device home page
Here you enable the option for opening the device home page of IEC 61850 devices. By default the value is set to Yes for the

This subnet mask is adopted automatically.
(Manual change not possible.)
(Value range: depending on IP address)
Drop buffered
Here, you define whether the ’buffered’ values are discarded.

(Default value: No)
Connection test [ms]
Here, you enter the time interval between cyclic link test telegrams.
(Value range: 2000...60 000)

To transmit fault records, the device needs the Filetransfer option. Depending on the SICAM PAS/PQS archive version, the
following fault record formats can be used for transmission:

Verify remote subject for string
If you enter a text here, SICAM PAS/PQS checks during each setup of a connection whether this text is included in the Subject
field of the peer’s certificate.
Verify remote alternative subject for string
If you enter a text here, SICAM PAS/PQS checks during each setup of a connection whether this text is included in the Alt.
Subject field of the peer’s certificate.
Verify remote DNS for string
If you enter a text here, SICAM PAS/PQS compares this text during each setup of a connection with both the peer’s DNS name
and the DNS name indicated on the certificate transmitted by the peer.
This parameter allows the setup of a connection to an individual peer.
Verify remote IP for string
If you enter an IP address here, SICAM PAS/PQS compares during each setup of a connection whether the entered IP address
corresponds to both the peer’s IP address and the IP address indicated in the certificate transmited by the peer.
This parameter enables the setup of a connection to an individual peer.
Expert Parameters
The parameter requires the protocol stack to be able to establish the link between the client and the server.
Changing these parameters can influence executability of the protocol.

List Properties
NOTE
You must not delete scan lists for IEC 61850 devices that are adopted from the device configuration file on device
import in SICAM PAS/PQS.
You can define the following List properties:
MMS List
GOOSE List
MMS List
You can define the following list properties:
General Parameters
Trigger Options
Redundancy Parameters
General Parameters
Name
Under Name, you can enter a unique name for the list.
Description
Description allows you to enter further information about the list (e.g. to keep a change history).
Type
This defines the Type of the list (dataset).
NOTE
The type cannot be edited.
Only lists defined by the user (User-defined MMS list (dataset)) can be changed in SICAM PAS/PQS.
The lists predefined by the device (Device-defined MMS list (dataset), Device-defined GOOSE list (dataset)) can
be changed via the device-specific editing tool.
(Value range: User-defined MMS list (dataset), Device-defined MMS list (dataset), Device-defined GOOSE list (dataset))
Buffer time [ms]
The buffer time is the time the device waits for arrival of a spontaneous information item before sending the information item.
This enables further value changes occurring during this buffer time to be transmitted in a report.
Data which is contained in a list is buffered during this time.
NOTE
For this function, the communication parameter Report Setting: BufTime writeable must be set to Yes. The
parameter is imported from the SCD file and should not be changed.
Data buffering is deactivated if the firmware version is too old and does not support this feature (see properties of
the Interface, Expert parameters, Manufacturer and Firmware version parameter).
(Value range 1...3 600 000)
Integrity period [s]
Interval (in seconds) for the general interrogation
Only valid if the Integrity parameter is set to Yes under Trigger options.
(Value range: 1...2 147 483)
(Default value: 10 800)
Transmission of special values
This option deactivates the old/new comparison in the protocol driver upon the reception of information. This also allows the
cyclic transmission of items of information whose value has not changed.
It is also possible to specify larger intervals for items of information subject to frequent value changes.
Examples for using this option:
l Periodic transmission of the actVal metered value with the Integrity period interval (e. g. 15 min) although the value does
not change.
l To prevent that the value instMag (which changes frequently) is transmitted too often via the Data change trigger option. If
this option is ticked, the value can be transmitted periodically or with the Integrity period interval (e. g. 10 s) upon restore.
The cause of transmission is spontaneous even if the value has not changed.
(Default value: No)
Buffered reporting
For user-defined lists, it is possible to choose between buffered and unbuffered reporting here.
If the list has been imported from an SCD file and in pre-defined lists for dynamic reporting, this parameter cannot be changed.
Trigger Options
Under Trigger options you can enter when data are transmitted.
NOTE
The Trigger option parameters can be changed during runtime, if the Report setting:TrgOps writeable
parameter of the device is set to Yes.
Data change
This parameter specifies whether data are transmitted on value change.
Quality change
This parameter specifies whether data are transmitted on status change.
Data update
This parameter specifies whether data are transmitted on each freeze, even if no change occurs.
(Default value: No)
Integrity
This parameter specifies whether the server sends the data of the scan list to the client periodically. The period is defined by the
General parameter Integrity period [s].
General interrogation
This parameter specifies whether a complete value table will be sent during device start-up.
NOTE
Each redundancy parameter exists once for each redundancy connection.
You can define the following Redundancy parameters:
MMS address
Manufacturing Message Specification
Address of a variables list which has either already been created in the device or is created by the IEC 61850 client (requires the
DynDataSet service).
This list furthermore is an integral part of the Report control block or is entered in this block by the IEC 61850 client (requires
the DynReportControl service).
The following addresses are possible:
l @<List> assigns the list to a connection-specific area. (Does not apply to devices that support Buffered Reporting.)
l <DEVICE><LD>/<LNode>$<LIST> assigns the list to a defined logical device. This requires that the LD already exists.
Example: 7SJ63_2Prot/LLN0$Liste1
(Default value: @<List>
Report identifier
Unique string that identifies the reports to the receiver. The unique BRCB address is usually used here.
The parameter is imported from the SCD file and should not be changed.
Configuration revision
This version number from the SCD must match the version number in the BRCB of the device. The parameter is imported from
the SCD file and should not be changed.
(Default value: 1)
Report control block
This parameter specifies with which report control block the list will be connected during runtime.
If you do not make an entry, a report control block will be selected automatically.
Normally the report control block is automatically entered by the SCD import. For automatically created lists, no change should
be made here.
For user-created lists, the entry must remain empty if possible. If an entry is made here, you must search for an unused report
control block for this device in the SCD file and enter its address in the field.
If there are several IEC 61850 clients, it is important to ensure that a report control block is only used by one client. (This is
especially important when copying redundant stations.)
GOOSE List
You can define the following list properties:

General Parameters
General Parameters
Name
A unique list name is shown. The name is generated from IED Name, LDevice inst, and cbName as configured in the imported
SCD file.
NOTE
The configured name must comply the following rules: The first character must be a letter (A-Z or a-z) followed by
letters or numerics. The maximal name length is 115 characters.
Description
Description allows you to enter further information about the list (e.g. to keep a change history).
Type
This defines the Type of the list (dataset).
NOTE
The type cannot be edited.
Only lists defined by the user (User-defined MMS list (dataset)) can be changed in SICAM PAS/PQS.
The lists predefined by the device (Device-defined MMS list (dataset), Device-defined GOOSE list (dataset)) can
be changed via the device-specific editing tool.
(Value range: User-defined MMS list (dataset), Device-defined MMS list (dataset), Device-defined GOOSE list (dataset))
GOOSE monitoring
This parameter specifies whether the GOOSE list is monitored.
If the parameter is set to Yes, 2 system messages are generated to report the status of the list:

The following General parameters are displayed:
Name
Under Name, IEC 61850 Client is displayed.

The name of the protocol definition is predefined in the template and cannot be modified.
Template Device Description

On importing IEC 61850 devices, a device template file is automatically created for each device You can view this information
but not change it at his point.
You can insert new devices in your station configuration at any time by importing SCD or ICD files. You should not use device
templates when creating IEC 61850 devices in your station configuration.
Unlike other protocols, here only one device may be created for each device description.
Devices that were imported via an SCD file are not general templates but instantiated devices that, for example, already contain
an IP address. It is therefore not permissible to create several instances of such a device. To ensure this, the device template is
deleted when the instance is deleted.
The _Iec61850SystemDevice is a virtual device containing system and status indications of the driver. Because this is not a IEC
61850 device, the device template is not deleted when the instance is deleted.
To display the parameters of the device description template, click on the arrow above Properties in the right-hand margin bar
of the SICAM PAS/PQS UI - Configuration. To close the window, click on the arrow again.
The following parameters of the device description template are shown:

In the case of relative scaling, this is a percentage with reference to the operating value.
Measurement value type

Representation type of the measured value (analog, binary, vector, etc.)
Operational value
The operational value is the desired value defined for system operation. It can deviate from the nominal value.
NOTE
For PQDIF import data, the operational value of the voltage depends on the Network type.
For the Star network type: operational value = nominal value / √3
For the Delta network type: operational value = nominal value
Averaging time
Time period for the mean value calculation, in seconds.
