E50417-M8976-C432-C9, Edition 05.2024
 Introduction
1.1 System Types

1.1 System Types

Depending on the structure and capacity of your system, you install SICAM PAS/PQS as a:

• Stand-alone system

• Distributed system
For configuration examples, refer to /1/ SICAM PAS, Overview and /2/ SICAM PQS, Overview.

Stand-Alone System
SICAM PAS/PQS as a stand-alone system runs on one single computer, the Full Server. The SICAM PAS/PQS
Full Server holds the data distribution system of SICAM PAS/PQS, the relational database system and the user
interface. Protocol drivers and additional SICAM PAS/PQS components are located on this computer.

Distributed System
SICAM PAS/PQS as a distributed system runs on several computers. The following rules apply in this configu-
ration:

• One computer is the Full Server. The SICAM PAS/PQS data distribution system, the Relational Database
Management System (RDBMS) and the user interface are located on this computer. Protocol drivers and
certain other applications can also reside on this computer.
Every distributed SICAM PAS/PQS configuration must have exactly 1 Full Server.

• The other computers in this configuration are operated as DIPs (Device Interface Processors). These
computers host the protocol drivers and additional functions such as the fault location function, the
archive, and also the user interface.
Both types of SICAM PAS/PQS are installed using the same installation routine. The installation process for
these 2 types of SICAM PAS/PQS is almost identical. During the installation, you only need to specify whether
the computer is to be operated as a stand-alone system/Full Server or as a DIP. It is nevertheless essential to
understand which type of system you are installing.
The data exchange between the DIP and the Full Server must be ensured during operation.

1.2 Installation Variants

You can install SICAM PAS/PQS as a

• Demo version

• Licensed version
The installation DVD of SICAM PAS/PQS includes all files of the software components. During the installation
process, you must specify whether you want to install a licensed version or a demo version.

Demo Version
For the demo version, neither a dongle nor a Soft License nor ALM-Licenses are required.
In the demo version, SICAM PAS/PQS is installed as a stand-alone system, see 1.1 System Types.
In the demo version, SICAM PAS/PQS runs for 3 hours. After 3 hours, the demo version – runtime is stopped.
SICAM PAS/PQS UI – Configuration can be further used. After each restart of your computer, the runtime is
available for another 3 hours.
Be aware of the following additional restrictions:

• Projects created in the demo version cannot be used in the licensed version.

• SICAM PAS/PQS cannot be operated as a distributed system.

i .NET Framework V4.7.2 or later is required. For operating systems like Windows 10 (earlier than 1803),
Windows 2016 Server or earlier, install .NET Framework using the Windows update or the offline installer.
To download the offline installer, refer to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-
you/net48-offline-installer.

NOTE

i If the Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 is installed on the Full Server for a distributed SICAM
PAS/PQS system (the Full Server and the DIP are different computers) or a redundant SICAM PAS/PQS
system, the following must be observed for the Full Server:

• The DNS Client, function search and resource publishing, SSDP search, and UPnP device host services
must have been enabled and started.
If these services are not started, the automatic network share cannot be permanently enabled.

• The automatic network share must be enabled.

• The ports of the programs that are used for the communication between Full Server and DIPs must
be opened in the firewall. This refers to the ports of the btiserver.exe, dbsrv17.exe, and DSIServer.exe
programs.

NOTE

i To install SICAM PAS/PQS on Windows 7/Windows Embedded 7 (SICAM Station Unit V2.40, 32-Bit),
you must download the KB2999226, KB3083324, KB4474419, and KB4499175 patches from https://
www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx and execute them.

Windows Update
Siemens recommends you update the patches using the Windows Update service before installing/updating
SICAM PAS/PQS. However, for an uninterrupted system operation, it is always recommended that you deacti-
vate the automatic update of the operating system.
The applications of SICAM PAS/PQS use various network services, such as TCP/IP, SNTP, DCOM, and ODBC.
Unsupervised operation of SICAM PAS/PQS is restricted by Windows Update because of the following reasons:

• The function of the network services could possibly be restricted by the Windows security updates.

• Manual intervention into the computer configuration is required (for example, other settings of the
Windows firewall).

• The computer must be restarted after an update.

• The computer is connected with the Internet to perform the update, which involves a security risk.

E50417-M8976-C432-C9, Edition 05.2024
Installation Requirements
2.3 Configuring the Windows Network Operation

NOTE

i If the SSR service does not start after any Windows security updates, reinstall SICAM PAS/PQS.

Standby Mode
To operate SICAM PAS/PQS, it must be ensured that the operating system does not switch to standby mode.
✧ Select Never for Standby in the Control panel, Energy options, Energy scheme tab.

Automatic Maintenance
Automatic maintenance is a scheduled task in Windows 8.1 and later versions which performs many pre-
defined tasks at specific time intervals. Automatic Maintenance stops all the running maintenance tasks and
resumes them when the system is in idle state.
To avoid slowness or non-responsiveness:
✧ Perform Automatic Maintenance regularly on a system.
You change the scheduled time of all the maintenance tasks via
Control Panels > All Control Panels Items > Action Center.

Siemens recommends you deactivate the setting Check for solutions to problem reports under Mainte-
nance to avoid sending the data to Microsoft and look for possible solution.

NOTE

i For protection against malware infections, Siemens recommends to enable the latest virus patterns of
Microsoft Security/Windows Defender.
If you use other antivirus software follow the instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer.
Siemens recommends to specify the following directories in the list of exceptions:

• Archive directory

• %PAS_APPDATA%

• %ProgramData%\Siemens\SettingsManager

2.3 Configuring the Windows Network Operation

Be aware of the following when operating SICAM PAS/PQS:

• TCP/IP must be installed in any case, that is, even for a stand-alone system.

• Your computer must be assigned a valid TCP/IP name. Be aware that TCP/IP name conventions are
stricter than Windows conventions. The host name must neither start with a number nor include a blank
or special characters with the exception of _ and - . For example, My PC is a valid name under Windows.
Due to the blank included, it cannot be used with TCP/IP.

• Before you install SICAM PAS/PQS, TCP/IP must be configured. SICAM PAS/PQS cannot be installed prop-
erly without a configured TCP/IP. An Ethernet adapter is required for the configuration of TCP/IP.

• Power saving features: Many hardware components have power saving features installed, usually as
part of the BIOS on the computer. These features slow down or stop the system CPU during a period
of inactivity. Additionally, the screen display enters the save mode and the hard disk stops rotating. As
almost no industrial standards are available for these features, they may vary significantly depending on
the individual manufacturer and model. For this reason, if these features have been enabled, SIEMENS
cannot guarantee that the SICAM PAS/PQS software runs without any problems.

E50417-M8976-C432-C9, Edition 05.2024
 Installation Requirements
2.4 Compatibility

• If you operate SICAM PAS/PQS in a network with other computers, further configuration steps may
be required: In addition to IP addresses and network connections, a mechanism for the assignment of
computer names and IP addresses may be required in a TCP/IP network. The following 4 assignment
options are available:
– DNS <HELP=glossary.hlp TOPIC=gls_domain_namesystem>
– WINS <HELP=glossary.hlp TOPIC=gls_WINS>
– Broadcast name resolution
– HOSTS and LMHOSTS <HELP=glossary.hlp TOPIC=gls_lmhosts> files
In small networks in which IP addresses do not change, network connections can use a HOSTS or
LMHOSTS file for the assignment of computer names and IP addresses. For more detailed information,
refer to the corresponding Windows documentation.

• For a distributed SICAM PAS/PQS system, the Windows network interfacing must be configured on each
computer in the system.

• For a SICAM PAS/PQS computer, it is recommended to configure Windows on the computer in such a way
that the computer reboots automatically after a failure. Refer to your Windows/BIOS documentation for
instructions.

• The network share must be permanently enabled. It is not enabled by default in all operating systems,
for example, Windows Server 2008 R2.

2.4 Compatibility
SICAM Station Unit

NOTE

i If a predefined port on the SARA server (communication of SICAM PQ Analyzer/SICAM PQ Collector with the
archive) must not be opened due to internal IT security policies or is already occupied by another software,
for example, SIMATIC NET, change the port on all systems as follows:
In the SICAM PAS/PQS system:

• Open the %PAS_BIN% directory.

• Modify the port numbers in the SARAServer.ini file.

In the SICAM PQ Analyzer system:

• Open the %PQA_BIN% directory.

• Modify the port numbers accordingly in the files:

– SARAServer.ini
– SARADataProviderConfiguration.ini
– Siemens.Energy.PowerQuality.Analyzer.UI.Business.SARAClient.dll.config
A subsequent installation overwrites the updated port number with the default value and you must reenter
the changed port number in the specified files.
If more than one network card is available on the SICAM PAS/PQS system, replace the [NodeName] string
with either the host name or the IP address in the SARAServer.ini file for the following line:

5.1 Introduction

5.1 Introduction
SICAM PAS/PQS is designed as an open and modular system whose components can be individually selected.
Using the Automation License Manager (ALM), you can enable all the functions (features), which you require
on your computer.
The different communication protocols, SICAM PAS/PQS UI – Configuration, and the Power Quality (PQ)
functions are referred to as functions (features).
If the license is missing during operation, the feature for which no license key has been found will be disabled
after 10 minutes.
If the system has been running for at least 21 days, it will run for another 14 days after the first license failure.
During this time, license errors are ignored (password mismatches are not ignored). You can configure that a
message will be transmitted to the control center in case of a license error. This ensures that you can obtain a
new set of unlimited licenses if the existing ones fail while the system is still running.
In addition, the ALM assists you in enabling functional upgrades.

NOTE

i For information regarding licensing with dongles and soft licenses, refer to chapters A.8 Licensing - General
Information and A.18 Importing the License File.

ALM Trial License

SICAM PAS / PQS supports ALM trial licenses specifically for these use cases:

• The computer that is in use becomes defective and must be replaced by another computer (spare part)
that does not have unlimited licenses.

• Unlimited licenses are not available.

The trial version of the licenses is valid for 30 days. In the meantime unlimited licenses can be obtained and
installed.
Using these licenses, the user can launch the SICAM PAS UI Configuration, dearchive an existing configuration,
and run the system with all its functions and features.

Activating the ALM Trial License

To activate the trial licenses, proceed with the following steps:
² Launch SICAM PAS UI Configuration. The Activate trial license window opens.
² Select Yes. The trial license is activated.

[sc_ALM Trial License, 1, en_US]

Figure 5-1 ALM Trial License

NOTE

i The Update system function must be carried out after installing licenses with unlimited validity.

5.3 Connecting the DIP to the Full Server

NOTICE
The C:\AX NF ZZ7 folder contains hidden files. These files and the folder must neither be deleted, moved
nor copied. They contain data which are necessary for the licensing of your software. If you do not observe
these rules, the license may be irretrievably lost.
There is a risk of transferring a virus from the hard disk to a USB medium. You should therefore run a virus
check on your PG/PC each time you install/remove a license.
In order to exclude the risk of an irretrievable loss of your license, observe the following rules:
² If you use an optimization routine (for example, Scandisk/Defrag) that can move fix memory blocks,
only use this option once you have transferred the licenses from the hard disk to another partition/
drive/USB medium.
² When you install a license, a cluster which is marked as “defective” appears on the destination drive.
Do not attempt to restore the defective cluster.
² Do not forget to uninstall the licenses before formatting, compressing or restoring your hard-disk drive
or before installing a new operating system.
² If a back-up copy of your hard disk contains copies of licenses, these copies could possibly overwrite
and destroy the valid installed licenses when you restore your back-up data on the hard disk. In order
to prevent a valid license from being overwritten by a back-up copy, you are strongly recommended to
either remove all licenses before making a back-up copy or to exclude the C:\AX NF ZZ folder from the
back-up.

NOTE

i You can transport the licenses via a USB medium or a network. For more detailed information, refer to the
documentation of the Automation License Manager.

5.3 Connecting the DIP to the Full Server

In a distributed system you must connect a DIP to the Full Server. As a prerequisite, a network connection
must have been set up to the Full Server and the Full Server must run.
To connect the DIP to the Full Server:
² Start the Feature Enabler on the DIP.
² Enter the Computer name and the IP address of the computer on which the Full Server to be connected
to the DIP is running.
² Click OK.

6.3 Setting up the OPC XML DA Server

The OPC XML DA Server is a protocol for SICAM PAS/PQS.
The data exchange of the SICAM PAS/PQS with an OPC XML DA Client takes place via this Server.
The OPC XML DA Server must be enabled using the Feature Enabler.

Communication
The OPC XML DA Server and OPC XML DA Client communicate via TCP/IP.

[dw_Comm_OPCXMLDA_Server_Client, 1, en_US]

Figure 6-20 Communication between the OPC XML DA Server and the OPC XML DA Client via Ethernet

This open communication is suitable for the data exchange between the SICAM PAS/PQS and other systems
based on Microsoft Windows or also on other operating systems such as LINUX.
The OPC XML DA Server allows the exchange of structured information (station data) via the Internet using
XML (EXtensible Markup Language).
Via the OPC XML DA Server, the OPC XML DA Client can set protocol parameters and read or write all the
values, which have been mapped to OPC XML DA in SICAM PAS/PQS UI – Configuration.
The OPC XML DA Server can be accessed via http://<hostname/ipaddress>:8081/da from the OPC XML DA

7.1 Updating Time Zones

The time zone information of the world is maintained in the IANA Time Zone Database. This reflects changes
made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets, and daylight-saving rules. You can update the
time zone information of the SICAM system using the download of this time zone information.
To do this, proceed as follows:
² Open the website http://www.iana.org/time-zones.
² Download the latest version of the time zone data file tzdata20xxx.tar.gz, for example, Time Zone Data
v. 2014h (Released 2014-09-25) tzdata2014h.tar.gz (278.2kb).
² Open the directory where the program for updating the time zone information is located.

• For Windows 32-bit operating system:

%CommonProgramFiles%\Siemens\TimeZoneCalculations\bin
• For Windows 64-bit operating system:
%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Siemens\TimeZoneCalculations\bin

² Select the TimeZoneDataUpdater.cmd file and select Run as adminstrator from the context menu.
The command line tool opens.
² In the dialog that follows, navigate to the downloaded time zone data file and open it.
The time zone information is being updated.
² Click OK to exit the program.
After the update process is completed, the runtime system loads the time zone data within an hour. The
system does not need to be shut down or be restarted.

7.2 Synchronizing Time

Time information within a SICAM PAS/PQS system can be synchronized via:

• an NTP clock (for example, SICLOCK, Hopf Time Server, and Meinberg Time Server), an external device
connected to the SICAM PAS/PQS computer via Ethernet

• a remote terminal interface from the control center

This time synchronization method is not relevant for SICAM SCC.

NOTE

i The Hopf FG6039GPS receiver has been discontinued. If you want to continue to use this PCI card for the
SICAM PAS/PQS computer, refer to the Installation manual of SICAM PAS/PQS V8.08.

The time synchronization of SICAM PAS/PQS is based on the NTP (Network Time Protocol) and the corre-
sponding NTPD (Network Time Protocol Daemon) software. Under a Windows operating system, the NTPD
service runs in the background. For the installation of SICAM PAS/PQS, it is referred to as the Network Time
Protocol Service. It is configured by means of the ntp.conf ASCII file. To edit this configuration file, Siemens
recommends a text editor with the YAML markup language support, for example, Notepad++. Using this
editor, comments and entries are displayed in different colors. The configuration file is located in the Windows
directory, subfolder \drivers\etc\, for example: C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\.

NOTE

i Windows 7 and higher does not allow to edit the ntp.conf file directly within the Windows directory.
If you use one of these operating systems, copy the ntp.conf file to another directory (outside of the
Windows directory), for example to the desktop. Edit the copied file there and save it to the Windows
directory afterwards, overwriting the existing file.

 System Time
7.2 Synchronizing Time

The NTPD is automatically installed together with SICAM PAS or SICAM SCC. It is activated upon a restart of
the computer.
In a SICAM PAS/PQS system, several NTPDs are simultaneously active (for example, on the external radio clock,
the SICAM PAS/PQS, and the SICAM SCC computer). An NTPD can be configured as a Server or as a Client.
Upon the request of a Client, the Server communicates its time information to the Client.
Based on NTP, a precision of approximately 0.1 ms can be achieved under a Windows operating system. In
order to achieve this high precision, the system's NTPDs must perform extensive calculations. This process
can take several hours after the system starts. If the current Time Master fails, the NTPDs use the time data
determined in order to keep an utmost level of time precision for as long as possible.
For more detailed information on NTP, refer to http://www.ntp.org.

7.2.1 Network Time Protocol Daemon

For the configuration of the NTPD, knowledge about its main functions is required. Some NTPD functions and
terms are illustrated below.

Server, Client, and Peer

An NTPD can be configured as a Server or as a Client. The Server uses the current time information received
from a clock. The Clients poll the time information from the Server.
Besides this, an NTPD can be configured as a Peer. This is the case if several clocks with the same priority exist
in a distributed system. The roles (Server/Client) of the individual NTPDs are not specifically defined. The peers
communicate among each other in order to determine the quality of their time signal. The NTPD of the peer
with the most precise time signal is the Server.

Stratum, Offset, and Dispersion

The NTP time distribution is based on a hierarchical structure. Time information is distributed from the top
level down to the lower levels. A level is referred to as a stratum. The clock is the top level and is referred to as
stratum 0. The Time Server, which receives its time information directly from the clock, is assigned stratum 1.
The Server, which acts as a Client of this Server is assigned stratum 2.
The offset is the difference between the Client clock and the Server clock. The NTPD tries to keep the offset
as small as possible. The offset is the most important criterion for the determination of the quality of time
information.
The dispersion is another criterion used for quality determination. The dispersion defines the upper limit for
the deviation of the system time from the 'real' clock time. The smaller the dispersion, the higher is the quality
of the time information.

Quality of Time Information

During the SICAM PAS/PQS Runtime, the delivered time stamp is assigned a quality for the determination of
the system time. The following 4 quality levels can be assigned:

• High means that the system time deviates from the 'real' clock time by less than 10 ms and that the
quality of the time sources is sufficient for this determination. A dispersion of less than 10 ms is sufficient
to meet the standard requirements in the field of power automation.

• Medium means that the system time deviates from the 'real' clock time by less than 2 s and that the
quality of the time sources is sufficient for this determination. This level of precision ensures that no
low-quality time stamps are produced if a switching second is inserted and the clock therefore shows a
temporary deviation of ~1 second.

• Low means that the available time information does not have the required precision and that the system
must therefore be considered as 'out of synchronization'.

• Unknown is assigned if the system detects that no NTP service runs at all or that the service was not able
to detect a time source.

E50417-M8976-C432-C9, Edition 05.2024
System Time
7.2 Synchronizing Time

For compatibility reasons, a SICAM PAS/PQS-internal time stamp includes the ClockSync and ClockValid status
bits. These bits are set depending on the quality of the time stamp:

• High
The ClockSync and ClockValid status bits are set.

• Medium
The ClockValid status bits are set.

• Low
No status bit is set.

• Unknown
No status bit is set.

7.2.2 Time Synchronisation with Telecontrol Protocols

If SICAM PAS/PQS shall be time synchronized via

• telecontrol protocols only or

• a telecontrol protocol as a backup (in case the primary (NTP) clock source fails)
a shared memory clock driver must be used with the (basic) mode 1.

NOTE

i When using telecontrol protocols for time synchronization, a system time accuracy below 10 ms is not
ensured.

The ntp.conf configuration file consists of 4 blocks for time synchronization via telecontrol protocols. Thereby
up to 4 telecontrol contol connections can be used for time synchronization. A typical block has the following
structure:

server 127.127.28.0 mode 33 minpoll 2 maxpoll 6

fudge 127.127.28.0 stratum 5

Where:

• The 3rd address section (28) defines the type of clock driver (28 = shared memory clock driver).

• The 4th address section (0) is used to distinguish between clocks of the same type.
The values 0, 1, 2, or 3 refer the maximal 4 control center connections configured in SICAM PAS UI –
Configuration for time synchronization via telecontrol protocol.

• Time-out monitoring is automatically included (mode 33).

• The expected time synchronization interval with telecontrol protocol is between 4 seconds (minpoll 2 =
22) and 64 seconds (maxpoll 6 = 26).

• The stratum value 5 specifies the time synchronization via a telecontrol protocol.

Mode
For time synchronization via telecontrol protocols the mode values 1, 17, 33, or 49 (based on the basic
mode 1) can be used.
The mode parameter must be interpreted as a bit pattern (decimal value). The tables below illustrate the
significance of the bits, for example, if bit 0 and bit 5 are set, mode 33 results from the bit pattern.

Bit position Meaning

Bit 0 to 3 Bits 0 to 3 define the mode.
This half byte must have the value 1 for the cooperation with the telecontrol proto-
cols of SICAM PAS/PQS.
Bit 4 (bit value 16) Setting the clock time
If this bit is set, the clock driver initiates clock setting to the value present in the clock
if the difference between the system time and the time available in the clock is more
than 10 s.
This difference value can be increased, but not reduced, by means of fudge time2.
Bit 5 (bit value 32) Automatic time-out monitoring
If this bit is set, the clock driver attempts to optimize the actual poll cycle within the
limits predefined by minpoll and maxpoll.
Bit 7 (bit value 128) Writing information in the system log file
This bit is only relevant for diagnosis. All information, warning, and error conditions
are written into the system log file.
If this bit is not set, the driver does not attempt to perform any entries in the event
list of the system (’quiet mode’).

If SICAM PAS is under normal conditions time synchronized with NTP clocks and time synchronization via tele-
control protocol will be used as backup (when NTP synchronization fails), mode 1 or mode 33 (recommended)
shall be used.

• Mode 1
without additional functional specifications

• Mode 33
Automatic time-out monitoring is included (bit 5)
If SICAM PAS will be time synchronized only via telecontrol protocol, mode 17 and mode 49 (recommended)
can be used. Both, mode 17 and mode 49, support “Setting the clock time", that is, the clock driver immedi-
ately sets the system clock to the received value if the difference to the system time is more than 10 s
respectively the value defined with fudge time2 (bit 4 = 1).
Mode 17 specifies that “Automatic time-out monitoring” is not used (bit 5 = 0).

Minpoll, Maxpoll
If Automatic time-out monitoring (bit 5 = 1) is activated, the NTPD tries to set a polling interval within the
limits selected via minpoll and maxpoll. If the telecontrol protocol did not provide any value within a defined
interval, the polling interval is increased by one step. If more than 2 values are transmitted within an interval,
the polling interval is reduced by one step.
If synchronization based on the telecontrol protocol fails, the polling interval increases until the maximum
interval value has been reached. The clock is marked as faulty and the polling interval is set to the minimum
value in order to detect a recovery of synchronization as quickly as possible.
The values for minpoll and maxpoll must be selected in such a way that they include the expected time
synchronization interval of the telecontrol protocol. Minpoll and maxpoll are exponents referred to the basis
of 2.
The following value range can be used: minpoll = 2 (22 = 4 s) to maxpoll = 10 (210 = 1024 s = 17 min)
If mode 1 or mode 17 is used, the values for the minpoll and maxpoll parameters must be selected very
carefully in order to match the synchronization frequency of the telecontrol center: the minpoll parameter

System Time
7.2 Synchronizing Time

must be set in such a way that also 2minpoll is greater than the expected time synchronization interval via
telecontrol protocol.

Fudge

• Time1
As with most clock drivers, this value is used in order to compensate a systematic (constant) offset. For
example, the runtime of the telecontrol telegram between the control center and the substation can be
corrected. The value is defined as a floating point value indicated in seconds.
Example: An offset of 1 second results in time1 1.

• Time2
The difference value for clock time setting can be increased to a value greater than 10 s, see bit 4 in the
description of mode 33, Table 7-2. The value is defined as a floating point value indicated in seconds.
Example: The value can be set to 20 seconds with time2 20.

7.2.3 Configuration File for NTPD

When installing SICAM PAS/PQS or SICAM SCC, an ntp.conf configuration file is copied into the %windir%
\system32\drivers\etc or ...\%windir%\SysWow64\drivers\etc directory. The %windir% directory name
depends on the operating system, for example, Windows or WINNT. This file is used to configure the NTPD.
The Time Servers are indicated in the configuration files of the Clients. However, the Clients are not indicated
in the configuration files of the Servers. A Time Client can therefore be conveniently added to a system. Only
the configuration file of the new Client needs to be edited.
The configuration file includes some comments on its contents. This paragraph provides information about
important entries.

Using the lines under local system clock, you can define the local clock as the timer. Define a high value for
the stratum. The local time is used unless another, better time base is available.

These lines are required in order to use shared memory clock drivers. They are used for time synchronization
through telecontrol protocols.

• Mode
Through mode 33, see Table 7-2, you can define adaptive polling. During adaptive polling, the frequency
of the poll is automatically adjusted to the poll result. If the result rarely changes, polls are performed less
frequently.

• Minpoll, maxpoll
The minpoll and maxpoll parameters must be specified in such a way that the range matches the current
synchronization rate of the control center as precisely as possible.

Peers

# Windows 7 recommendation: minpoll 4 maxpoll 4
# peer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 iburst

If one Full Server and one or several DIPs are used, the synchronization sources can be distributed among the
computers used. To do this, activate the peer line.
In this case, the computers must determine among each other which clock time is most suitable. Since the
classical Server/Client relationship cannot be applied in this context, all the computers involved must be
configured as peers (that is, colleagues with the same priority). Data is exchanged on a bidirectional basis in
order to ensure that synchronization can be performed by both systems.

The following lines serve as examples for the definition of Time Servers. The information in these lines can
be used for demo purposes only. In a real environment, the user must enter the parameters for Real Time

7.2.4 Example – External Radio Clock as Timer

For system configurations with an IEC 61850 Ethernet bay bus, an external radio clock (for example,
SICLOCK, Meinberg, and Hopf) can be used as the Time Master on the Ethernet. If this clock fails or if the

quality of the time information is poor, another clock available in the system becomes the Time Master. In the
NTPD configuration files, you can define which clock is to become the new Time Master.
The NTPD is active on both SICAM PAS/PQS computers (Full Server and DIP) and on the SICAM SCC computer.
The NTPD of the radio clock is the Time Server; the NTPDs of the SICAM PAS/PQS computers are the Clients.
Additionally, time information can be transmitted from the telecontrol center.

[dw_Time_Synchronization_Ext_RadioClock, 2, en_US]

Figure 7-1 Time Synchronization through an External Radio Clock, Example

The bay devices on the IEC 61850 bus are Clients, which poll time information from the radio clock. Their
configuration is not described in the present document. For more detailed information on this topic, refer to
the documentation of the corresponding devices.
All other bay devices connected through IEC 60870-5-103 receive time information from the DIP.

Configuration Files
This paragraph provides a list of the ntp.conf configuration files for the SICAM PAS/PQS and the SICAM SCC
computer. The entries in the list have been customized for the example illustrated. Be aware that the real
system configuration (for example, IP addresses) of your own environment must be considered.

A.1 Several SICAM PAS/PQS Versions on One Computer

General Information

NOTE

i The installation of two SICAM PAS/PQS versions may only be performed on a computer which is used
exclusively for the configuration of SICAM PAS/PQS systems.

VMware 5.x (or higher) enables you to operate several virtual computers ("virtual engines") on one single
computer. Each virtual computer behaves like an autonomous computer with an individual audio/video and
network interface card and an individual hard disk. You can switch between the virtual computers by clicking
the mouse button.
Set up a virtual computer in order to operate 2 SICAM PAS/PQS versions (for example, SICAM PAS V7.00 and
SICAM PAS/PQS V8.04) in parallel. On the real computer (with host operating system), install SICAM PAS/PQS
V8.04; on the virtual computer (with guest operating system), install SICAM PAS V7.00. Alternatively, you can
install both SICAM PAS/PQS versions on 2 virtual computers.

NOTE

i For the virtual computer, you may only use the operating systems which have been released for SICAM
PAS/PQS (see 2.2 Operating System).

Since the use of special PC communications cards (CP5613/14, USB) is not supported by VMware 5.x, only the
SICAM PAS/PQS UI – Configuration and Feature Enabler components can be executed. In order to ensure
that the SICAM PAS/PQS UI – Operation and Value Viewer components and the Runtime operate properly,
standard COM interfaces should be used.

Virtual Computer
VMware supports the following 3 different variants of virtual computers:

• VMware Workstation

• VMware Server
With the VMware Server, the virtual computer is accessed via the VMware Console.

• VMware Player
With the VMware Player, you can only run an existing virtual computer. However, you can neither create
a new virtual computer nor modify an existing one, because the VMware Player has not been designed
for these purposes.
In order to be able to execute the steps described below, the VMware Workstation must have been installed
according to the corresponding instructions. Additionally, an operating system released for SICAM PAS/PQS
(see 2.2 Operating System) is installed.

Setting up a Virtual Computer

To install SICAM PAS/PQS on a virtual computer, the following settings must be checked/performed on the
VMware Workstation:

SICAM, SICAM PAS/PQS, Installation 99

E50417-M8976-C432-C9, Edition 05.2024
Appendix
A.2 Virtualization Solutions

To perform the necessary settings:

• Start the VMware Workstation.

[sc_VMware_workstation_start, 1, en_US]

Figure A-1 VMware Workstation, Performing Settings

For more detailed information on the settings, refer to the VMware online help.

• Set the CD ROM to Auto detect in order to ensure that the virtual computer can use the DVD drive.

• Configure the Ethernet to meet your requirements.

If the NAT or Host only options have been selected, VMware makes available an IP address to the virtual
computer (guest system) via DHCP.

• Set the USB Controller to Present if you are using the USB dongle.

• Insert a parallel port if you are using a dongle for the parallel interface.

• Insert a serial port if you require a serial interface.

Installing SICAM PAS/PQS

For the installation of SICAM PAS/PQS, the virtual computer (guest operating system) must run and be able to
access the SICAM PAS/PQS installation DVD.
Install SICAM PAS/PQS on the virtual computer as described in 3 Installing SICAM PAS/PQS.

NOTE

i You can install both the Full Server and a DIP on a virtual computer.

A.2 Virtualization Solutions

SICAM PAS/PQS has been released for use with virtualization solutions such as VMware and CITRIX. In addition,
VMware Workstation and VMware Player can be used for the configuration of a SICAM PAS/PQS system.

100 SICAM, SICAM PAS/PQS, Installation

E50417-M8976-C432-C9, Edition 05.2024
 Appendix
A.2 Virtualization Solutions

NOTE

i SICAM PAS/PQS can be used with the following CITRIX solutions:

• Pooled Desktop Catalog

• Remote PC Access Catalog

Please also note the following:

• In addition to the application software, the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) must be installed on every
virtual machine.

• The receiver software must be installed on every client.

Hardware and software requirements

The hardware requirements defined by the designer of the virtualization solution must be fulfilled.
Furthermore, please note the software and hardware requirements of the product for the configuration of
virtual machines.
As a rule the CPU utilization of a virtual machine should not exceed 50% during continuous operation, because
the system stability can be impaired under high load scenarios. To check the CPU utilization, use either the
options provided by the virtualization solution or the Task Manager on the guest system.
Thanks to its system architecture, SICAM PAS/PQS distributes the CPU load to several cores depending on the
individual configuration. This means that the system performance can be improved by adding virtual CPU
cores. However, adding virtual cores only makes sense if the capacity of all the existing cores is highly utilized
(CPU utilization).
Siemens recommends providing more Random Access Memory (RAM) capacity than specified by the hardware
requirements (e.g. an additional 2 GB or doubling the capacity specified), because the use of the swap file can
affect the performance in virtual environments.

Licensing
Every guest system must be treated like a real installation and licensed accordingly.
A dongle (licenses) must be purchased for every virtual machine. The licenses must be specifically assigned to
an individual virtual machine. To achieve this, a USB hub must be used. The USB hub and the virtual machine
are connected via Ethernet LAN. In order to be able to assign a virtual machine a USB port, the USB hub
must first be configured via the web interface of the hub. Furthermore, the software providing access to the
corresponding USB ports (port groups) must be installed on every virtual machine which is to connect to the
USB hub. The USB devices plugged into the ports communicate with the corresponding virtual machine via
Ethernet LAN.
Please note that the dongles must be redundantly connected (via at least two USB hubs) in a redundant
configuration.

NOTE

i Prolonged network failures may cause the applications to stop working. To restart them, update the
system.

Restrictions
SICAM PAS/PQS does NOT support multi-user scenarios (i.e. the simultaneous use of the product) on a virtual
machine.

NOTE

i Especially when using virtual solutions in a redundant configuration, the fail-safe operation of core compo-
nents such as network cards or hard disks must be ensured so as not to impair the availability of the overall
system.

A.3 Connecting a Substation via IEC 60870-5-101

The IEC 60870-5-101 Master protocol is frequently used for the connection of remote telecontrol units.
In a typical configuration, SICAM PAS/PQS is the IEC 60870-5-101 Master station which communicates with a
substation. This substation is the Master for different bay devices.
From the perspective of SICAM PAS/PQS, this RTU can be considered to be acting as a "proxy" for these bay
devices.

[dw_Config_IEC60870-5-101_Protocol, 2, en_US]

Figure A-2 Example of a Configuration Using the IEC 60870-5-101 Protocol

In such a configuration, the substation can be communicate with SICAM PAS/PQS through a serial connection
(COM port) using either a dedicated line or a dial-up connection (via modem).
If a modem connection is used, the modem must have already been installed on the SICAM PAS station
computer. Modems can be installed via the Windows Control Panel.
The following modems can be used:

• ISDN card (for example, AVM FRITZ!Card PCI)

• Analog modem

• GSM modem

NOTE

i Check that a modem driver for your operating system is available, before you buy a modem.

Figure A-5 Selecting a Modem

NOTE

i Configure the modem connection of the substation/miniRTU in such a way that the INSYS modem uses the
same data protocol as the modem on the SICAM PAS computer.
In the example above, the data protocol is V.110. In this case, the configuration string e.g. of an ISDN
modem would be: ATE0&KS0=1&C1&D2V1X0B0N4&WZ (the most important value is B0, because it
defines the type of protocol).
The configuration string must be modified accordingly if an analog modem is used (refer to the operating
instructions of the analog modem).
The following applies for the selection of the protocol:
Connect 2 ISDN modems based on the X.75 protocol. In the configuration string of the INSYS ISDN TA
modem, the value B0 changes to B10.
Connect an ISDN modem to a GSM modem based on the V.110 protocol.

Using an ISDN card

An ISDN card (e. g. AVM FRITZ!CARD PCI) can be used as an alternative to a modem.
² To use the ISDN card with SICAM PAS/PQS, the AVM ISDN CAPI port driver must be installed.

NOTE

i The AVM ISDN CAPI driver is only supported on the 32-bit edition of Windows 7.

The installation of the driver and of the virtual modem is described in detail in the card manufacturer’s
installation manual included in the scope of delivery of the ISDN card.
When installing the driver, you can select from numerous installable virtual modems.
For use under SICAM PAS/PQS, Siemens recommends you install modems working with the X.75 protocol,
such as:

• AVM ISDN - ISDN (X.75)

• AVM ISDN Mailbox (X.75)

The virtual modems can be selected from the Modem Parameters dialog after their installation in order to use
them under SICAM PAS/PQS.

NOTE

i If the ISDN card is also used by other programs, these programs must be disabled before SICAM PAS/PQS
communicates via this card. Otherwise, they might cause communication problems.

A.4 Connecting a SIMEAS R Device

Overview
You can connect a SIMEAS R device to a SICAM PAS/PQS station computer via:

• Direct connection (null modem or star coupler)

• LAN
Dial-up connection via modem
– Hayes Compatible, Baud rate up to 115 200 bit/s
– TAPI Interface, Baud rate up to 115 200 bit/s
The following modems can be used:

• Analog modem

• ISDN modem

• ISDN card (for example, AVM ISDN FRITZ!Card PCI V2.0)

• GSM modem
The ISDN/GSM modems must support the Hayes command set.
If you configure a modem (TAPI interface), Siemens recommends the use of an external analog INSYS Modem
56k 4.2 for both the SIMEAS R device and the SICAM PAS/PQS station computer.

[dw_Modem_Connection, 1, en_US]

Figure A-7 Dial-up Connection via Modems and the Public Telephone Network

In order to ensure reliable communication, the modems of the SIMEAS R device and the SICAM PAS/PQS
station computer must use the same INIT string and the same baud rate.
The steps to be carried out in order to set up a dial-up connection via modems are described depending on
the interface type:

• A.5 Modem (TAPI Interface)

• A.6 Modem via COM Port (Hayes Compatible)

language. You can make the necessary changes to the target language texts before you save the repository.
The translation status has the following representations:
Status Icon Description
Requires translation

Modified

Error

Translated

The repository is saved to a file with .LRP format. The default name for the repository is <product
name>_<product version>_<new language name>_<new language locale>.LRP.
The default storage location is %publicdocuments%Siemens\LanguageRepositories.

Opening and Editing an Existing Repository

This feature allows you to open an existing repository (.LRP file). You can view the language texts that
require translation, edit the target language texts, and save the repository. The translation status is displayed
appropriately.

Upgrading an Existing Repository

This feature allows you to upgrade an existing repository created from earlier versions to the current version
so that the available texts and the newly added texts can be translated.

NOTE

i You can open the existing repository for an upgrade when the reference language is available in the
installed directory and the operating system supports the locale of the repository.

The upgrade repository operation is product specific. For example, you can upgrade the repository created
from an earlier version of SICAM PAS only if the latest version of SICAM PAS is installed on the system. To
upgrade an earlier translated version to the current version, open the repository for an upgrade and save it
with the default name or with the new name.

A.8 Licensing - General Information

Deploying an Existing Repository

This feature allows you to deploy an existing language repository with the same version as the installed SICAM
products. You can use the new deployed language in the user interface and/or runtime. The deploy operation
creates a new language folder or overwrites the existing language folder (only if the new language name
and the new language locale match) in the product environment, except for English and German languages.
The deployed language is now available in the language setting dialogs.

NOTE

i Before you deploy the language repository, close all the SICAM system components on the target system.
For deploying the language files to the installed product, you must run the tool as an administrator.
Ensure that the deployed language is same in Full Server, DIPs, and the redundant system.

A.8 Licensing - General Information

Software Protection for SICAM PAS/PQS
The SICAM PAS/PQS features are distributed among several software modules, most of which are optional. In
order to facilitate the installation of the SICAM PAS/PQS software, the software modules of the basic system
and all optional features are available on the DVD included in the scope of delivery.
Which functions can be used for a system is determined by:

• Dongle with the feature-specific license keys

– or –

• Soft License

Dongle
For the basic system (licensed version) you require a dongle which enables optional features via license keys.
These license keys only apply to a single dongle. If you purchase several SICAM PAS/PQS you receive a separate
kit including one dongle for each computer together with the corresponding license keys.
Before SICAM PAS/PQS software components start up they verify that the license key you entered matches the
information in the dongle. During operation the system checks at regular intervals whether the dongle is still
present.
If the dongle is missing or removed during operation, the feature for which no license key has been found will
be disabled after approximately 5 minutes.
If the system has been running for at least 21 days it will run for another 14 days after the first dongle failure.
During this time, dongle errors are ignored (password mismatches are not ignored). You can configure that a
message will be transmitted to the control center in case of a dongle error. This ensures that you can order a
new dongle if the existing one fails while the system is still running.

Soft License
A computer or a virtualization solution is defined by a license status and the desired features are enabled and
licensed for the system in combination with a product key.
The Soft License only applies to 1 system.
