User Information
Application Scope
SICAM I/O Unit 7XV5673 is a digital input/output device and is used by utilities (energy supply companies) in
substation environment. The device is also used for industrial sectors and in businesses with increased environmental requirements. It can be used in nearly every application for protection relays or SCADA, e.g. over
current protection, teleprotection or Substation Automation. Nearby and remote connection of binary I/O Inputs
are possible using this SICAM I/O Unit.
In the manual, the short name SICAM I/O Unit is used.
The SICAM I/O Unit can be used as, for example:
I/O mirror: point-to-point transfer of binary signals between 2 SICAM I/O Units via Ethernet or a serial connection
I/O expansion: device expansion by binary inputs and outputs
Contact multiplier: multiplication of signals on one or several binary inputs via relay contacts
Binary Inputs and Relay Outputs

The device contains 2 terminal blocks with 3 binary inputs and 3 relay outputs each, and an Ethernet
connection with internal Ethernet switch and a serial interface. Depending on the device variant, the serial
interface is designed as RS485 or FO interface (820 nm).
2 binary inputs have a common root on each terminal block. Another binary input is potential free (not
connected to potential). The threshold voltage of the binary inputs can be set to DC 19 V, DC 88 V or
DC 176 V. Therefore an optimal adjustment to the station batterys voltage of the substation can be achieved
and the pickup voltage can be adjusted in the case of increased interference level.
Each terminal block has 2 relay outputs NO (normally open) and one relay output CO (change over). The
relays can switch voltages up to AC/DC 250 V and currents up to AC/DC 5 A.
Function
Via binary inputs, all kinds of binary signals of switch gear/protection scheme (for example tripping command,
switch position signal, fault and status indications) are securely detected. This information can directly be distributed at this SICAM I/O Unit over relays, or be transmitted over communication ways to further equipment or
systems.
The information is transmitted protected about the Ethernet and the serial interface in telegrams.
The parameter setting is simply carried out with a standard Web browser at the PC which is connected by the
Ethernet interface. A separate software is not required.

1 User Information
Communication
For communication with systems control and other substations for process automation, the Ethernet interface
and the serial interface (RS485 or optical) are available.
The device parameterization, the transfer of indications and the time synchronization with NTP is supported
via Ethernet. The communication protocols are HTTP, Modbus TCP, Modbus UDP, IEC 61850, and NTP. The
client or server mode is used for the binary signal transmission.
The serial interface supports the transfer of indications and time synchronization. Depending on
parameterization, the Modbus RTU communication protocol is used for communication; and the client or
server mode is used for the binary signal transmission.
With the Ethernet switch that is integrated in the device, further network components can be cascaded via a Y
cable, and can therefore also be incorporated in an existing network with IEC 61850 or an other Ethernet protocol.
In operation, the device needs the date and time for all time relevant processes. This ensures a uniform time
basis and a time stamp for the communication with peripheral devices. The following types of time
synchronization are performed according to parameterization:
External time synchronization via Ethernet NTP
12
External time synchronization via fieldbus with Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP or Modbus UDP communication protocol
Internal time synchronization via RTC (if there is no external time synchronization)

Unpacking, Inspecting the Delivery and Installing the Battery
Unpacking
The SICAM I/O Unit has been safely packed for transport in the factory. Unpack the device with care and do
not use force. Use an appropriate tool if necessary. After unpacking, inspect the device visually for any mechanical defects.
NOTE
If the device has been damaged during transport, do not connect and operate it.
Observe any additional notes enclosed with the packaging.

Keep the transport packaging for future transport.
Inspecting the Delivery
After unpacking, first compare the packing list against your original purchase order to check that the delivered
device has the desired rated data and functions and that all necessary and ordered accessories are enclosed.
Installing the Battery
If you want to operate the device immediately after the delivery, first insert the battery before beginning the
installation. Upon delivery the battery is insulated in the battery compartment of the device.
If you want to operate the device later, insert the battery only just before you intend to use the device.
NOTE
The battery powers the battery-buffered memory (SRAM) and the real-time clock (RTC). But the device can
still be operated when no battery is inserted or when the battery is discharged. If, however, the supply voltage
is lost, all metered energy values and error reports are deleted and the real-time clock is reset (2000-01-01
00:00).
Customer-specific parameters are permanently stored in the Flash-EPROM even without a battery.
To insert the battery, observe the notes in the supplied Product Information E50417-B1050-C484 and proceed
as follows:
Lever the cover of the battery compartment out of the socket with a suitable tool (e.g. precision engineer
screwdriver 2.0 mm).

I/O Mirror Server Client

The binary signals get from the binary inputs of the SICAM I/O Unit 1 (server) to the parameterized communication interface (FO, electrical RS485, or Ethernet). The converted signal is transmitted from the connected
lines to the SICAM I/O Unit 2 (client).
The signal is lead to the relay module via the communication interface of the client. Depending on the parameterization, the relay contacts control the relay outputs. Therefore the parameterized indications correspond to
the switching states of the relays.
Via the relay contacts, voltages up to AC/DC 250 V and currents up to AC/DC 5 A can be switched.
I/O Mirror Client Server
The transmission of the binary signals is performed from the SICAM I/O Unit 2 (client) to the SICAM I/O Unit 1
(server) in the same way as from server to client. From the user view, a simultaneous transmission of the binary
states takes place in both directions via a sure communication protocol via the respective connection between
the devices.
Extension of the transmission route
An extension of the transmission route for the binary signal transmission is possible. The following devices may
be used for example:
Optical Repeater 7XV5461
RS485-FO Converter 7XV5650
Communication Converter 7XV5662 (KU-KU, X.21/G.703.1, G.703.6).

Transmission Modbus TCP/UDP Client or IEC 61850 Client Server

The binary signals transmit from the Ethernet interface of a device (Modbus client) to the Ethernet interface of
the SICAM I/O Unit 1 (Modbus server). Modbus TCP, Modbus UDP, or IEC 61850 is used as communication
protocol.
The signal for the relay module is being transmitted to the SICAM I/O Unit 1. Depending on the parameterization, the relay contacts control the relay outputs. Therefore the parameterized indications correspond to the
switching states of the relays.
The SICAM I/O Unit 2 can be connected via the Ethernet switch to the SICAM I/O Unit 1. If using several
SICAM I/O Units, n 6 binary inputs and n 6 relay outputs can be used. If the integrated switch in the
SICAM I/O Unit is not used, the device can also be connected to systems control by using an external switch.
Additional hardware is required for this purpose. This may be necessary in the case of redundant operation.
Transmission Modbus Server Modbus Client (valid only at use of internal switches)
The transmission of binary signals from the SICAM I/O Units to the device also takes place via the integrated
Ethernet switch in the SICAM I/O Unit.
NOTE
The I/O expansion application can also be electric via serial communication (for example RS485 Bus System
7XV5103) or FO (for example Star Coupler 7XV5450) with Modbus RTU protocol.

(64 kbit/s up to 512 kbit/s).
Transmission between the binary signal transmission with the KU-XG takes place interference-free via
62.5 m/125 m multimode fiber optic cable. The fiber-optic cables are prepared with ST plugs. The electric
G703.1 or X.21 connection to multiplexer takes place via short distances.
KU-XG has a wide-range power supply unit DC 24 V up to 250 V and AC 115 V/AC 230 V.
The asynchronous baud rate of the binary signal transmission depends on the available synchronous band
width of the transmission route. This also essentially influences transmission time.
A maximum of 6 binary single signals can be transmitted bidirectionally.

Binary Signal Transmission of 6 Signals via Two-Wire Copper Cable with Blocking
The application shows the optical connection of an I/O mirror to a communication converter 7XV5662-0AC01
(KU-KU) for transmission via copper cable, which establishes a connection to a two-wire copper cable (for
example telephone cable). 5-kV blocking is integrated in KU-KU. An additional blocking transformer makes
20 kV possible.
Transmission between the binary signal transmission and KU-KU takes place interference-free via 62.5 m/
125 m multimode fiber optic cables. The fiber-optic cables are prepared with ST plugs.
KU-KU has a wide-range power supply unit of DC 24 V up to 250 V and AC 115 V/AC 230 V.
The asynchronous baud rate of max. 38.4 kbit/s of the binary signal transmission depends on the available synchronous bandwidth of the transmission route which is 128 kbit/s. For larger distances, 2 KU-KU distances can
be cascaded.
Further information can be found in the manual for the device 7XV5662-0AC01. A maximum of 6 binary single
signals can be transmitted bidirectionally.
A typical application is the directional comparison of a directional overcurrent protection via economical pilot
wires, where the definite time-overcurrent protection is connected to the binary signal transmission via contact and binary input.

Binary Signal Transmission of a Maximum of 12 Signals Across Large Distances via Optical
Fiber by Amplification with Optical Repeater
The application shows the optical connection of an I/O mirror to a serial optical repeater 7XV5461-0Bx00. It
establishes a connection to an optical wide area distance, consisting of 1 or 2 optical fibers. The optical repeater multiplexes or demultiplexes synchronous or asynchronous serial signals of up to 2 optical inputs on an optical fiber remote connection. More information on this matter can be found in the manual of the device
7XV5461.
The optical connection on the remote-side is via LC plugs.
Transmission between the binary signal transmission and repeater takes place interference-free via 62.5 m/
125 m multimode fiber-optic cables. The optical cables are prepared with ST plugs.
The binary signals of the I/O mirror 1 client will transfer only to the I/O mirror 1 server. The binary signals of the
I/O mirror 2 client will as well transfer only to the I/O mirror 2 server.
The repeater has a wide-range power supply unit of DC 24 V up to 250 V and AC 115 V/AC 230 V.
The asynchronous baud rate in the binary signal transmission can be set to 57.6 kbit/s. The repeater has
2 optical 820-nm inputs so that a maximum of 2 binary signal transmissions can be connected. A maximum of
12 binary signals can be exchanged via wide optical fiber connections, for example permissive overreaching
transfer trip protection of the distance protection. Additionally, for evaluation purposes, the locations of the
remote circuit-breakers and separators can be transmitted in the local device. This makes the realization of
smart grid applications across large distances possible in order to exchange interference-free binary signals.

Binary Signal Transmission via Synchronous Leased Line with G703.6 Connection; Optical
Connection for 2 Binary Signal Transmissions and RS232 Connection for 1 Binary Signal
Transmission
The application shows the optical connection of an I/O mirror to a communication converter (KU-2M) 7XV56620AD00, which establishes a connection to a multiplexer with G703.6 interface (1.44 kbit/s/2 Mbit/s, T1/ E1). The
KU-2M multiplexes and demultiplexes synchronous or asynchronous serial signals on up to 3 inputs on a
2 Mbit/s remote connection.
Transmission between binary signal transmission and KU-2M takes place interference-free via 62.5 m/
125 m multimode optical fiber. The fiber-optic cables are prepared with ST plugs. Additionally, the KU-2M is
provided with an electrical RS232 interface. On this interface, an additional binary signal transmission with a
max. of 115.2 kbit/s can be connected via an optoelectronic converter. This ensures that 18 binary signals can
be exchanged bidirectional via a G703.6 connection. The electric G703.6 connection to a multiplexer is performed via short distances.
KU-2M has a wide-range power supply unit of DC 24 V up to 250 V and AC 115 V/AC 230 V.
The asynchronous baud rate in the binary signal transmission can be set to 115.2 kbit/s.
The KU-2M has 2 optical input interfaces. This makes it possible to transmit a maximum of 12 individual signals.
In addition, the device also has a RS232 interface. Via a RS232/optical converter 7XV5652-0BA00, a binary
signal transmission can be additionally connected. The distance between converter and KU-2M must not
exceed 3 m, since it is a serial electrical RS232 connection (you should preferably use visual interfaces). Using
all input interfaces (2 FO, 1 RS232) of the KU-2M, a maximum of 18 individual signals can be exchanged bidirectionally.
Siemens recommends the 7XV5100-4 cable (DIGSI cable) with gender changer (9 pin male/male) as RS232 KU-2M connecting cable.

Binary Signal Transmission via Optical Fibers or Wireless Connection; Connection via the
Integrated Ethernet Interface to External Transmission Devices
The application shows the electric connection of an I/O mirror to Ethernet-based transmission devices via patch
cable, which establish a connection via optical on the remote side or a wireless connection. The connection
could also be realized via switches with long-distance modules or via IP networks.
If using a media converter by Ruggedcom for Ethernet RSM 40, 4 binary signal transmissions can be connected via Ethernet. This ensures that a maximum of 24 binary individual signals can be exchanged bidirectional
via optical connection. For direct optical connections, this is an alternative to the serial configuration in
Figure 5-8.
Since client and server communicate with each other via IP addresses, any IP networks can be used, using the
Modbus UDP protocol. When connecting via routed network components, the ports for the protocol have to be
released. An encryption of the data on unsecured IP networks has to be performed via external devices.

6.3.3.7 IEC 61850 GOOSE Subscriber Configuration

The IEC 61850 IED configuration philosophy of the SICAM I/O Unit is to have one separate static ICD file each
for Edition 1 and Edition 2 of IEC 61850. For the substation configuration, these ICD files are imported into the
IEC 61850 system configurator (e.g. DIGSI 4).
When the configuration has been completed, the thus generated SCD file can be loaded into the SICAM I/O
Mapping Tool, and a binary IEC 61850 parameter set can be created (proprietary format).
The result can then be uploaded via the HTML page.
NOTE
The configuration requires the installation of the SICAM I/O Mapping Tool program (see chapter 4.8).

E50417-H1040-C484-A3, Edition 05.2012

6 Operation
Configuration Using DIGSI 4

NOTE
Using DIGSI 4 is the easiest way to perform the GOOSE Subscriber configuration.
IEC 61850 Edition 2 requires DIGSI 4.86 or higher.
The handling of DIGSI 4 is assumed and not described in this manual.
If you do not have DIGSI 4.86 or higher at your disposal, perform the installation as described in Manual Configuration Without DIGSI 4.
The following steps must be executed for configuring the IEC 61850 GOOSE Subscribers:
Download the ICD file from the device.
Import the ICD file into DIGSI 4 (as other IEC 61850 communicator).
Change the IED name via the object properties (IED name S_IO_xxxxx, the name must conform to this
pattern).
Open the station for interconnecting GOOSE (see DIGSI 4 manual).
NOTE
DIGSI 4 allows the interconnection of binary signals to the DOs (data objects) SPCSO1 to SPCSO6 in LN
ProxyGGIO1.
It is not possible to interconnect external GOOSE messages to other objects in the SICAM I/O Unit.
SPCSO1 to SPCSO6 correspond to the indications Indication 1 from Remote to Indication 6 from Remote
in the SICAM I/O Unit (see chapter 6.3.3.2).
After having exported the SCD file, open the SICAM I/O Mapping Tool program.
Enter the same IED name as in DIGSI 4 in the SICAM I/O Mapping Tool (e.g. IED name S_IO_00002, see
Figure 6-42).

Click Generate Mapping in the menu bar and select a folder for storing the file. In this folder, the file
7XV5673.MAP is generated.
NOTE
The MAP file (7XV5673.MAP) can be uploaded to the device (see section Ethernet Communication Using the
IEC 61850 Bus Protocol).
NOTE
If there are several I/O units in the station, this process must be performed for each device.
Manual Configuration Without DIGSI 4

The manual Subscriber configuration is done according to the description of the ExtRef element in the SCD file.
NOTE
The ExtRef element describes where the GOOSE message object comes from and where the GOOSE message object is going.
The description of the ExtRef element is located below the IED node of the receiving device in the SCD file
(LN Inputs Extref). The following example (Figure 6-43) shows a section of an SCD file with an ExtRefelement.

7 Time Synchronization
7.1 General
7.1
General
During operation, SICAM I/O Unit needs the date and time for all time-relevant processes. The term time is
used throughout this section to refer to both the date and the time.
The time synchronization in the SICAM I/O Unit is necessary to guarantee a common time basis for the communication with peripheral devices and time stamping of the process data.
SICAM I/O Unit supports both external and internal time synchronization. The type of time synchronization is
specified during the parameterization (see chapter 6.3.3.5).
7.2
Internal Time Keeping
7.2.1
Time Format
The internal time is kept in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) from 01.01.2000, 00:00 to 31.12.2099, 23:59.
To display the local time for example on the HTML pages of the user, you can configure a local time correction
factor and the automatic adjustment to daylight saving time during parameterization (see chapter 6.3.3.5).
7.2.2
Status Bits
FAIL Status Bit

The FAIL status bit implemented in the SICAM I/O Unit signals with "0" that the time is valid and with "1" that
the time is invalid.
The status of the FAIL bit corresponds to the "Clock error" operational indication, see chapter 12.
The following table lists the time stamps of events or indications for the displayed operational and error logs
according to status bit set/not set using the example of date 2007-09-26, time 13:49.35246:

Output
2010-09-26 13:49.35:246
2010-09-26 13?49?35?246
NOTE
When time output contains ?, there will be no time synchronization. In this case, first of all, parameterize the
Source of the time synchronization Internal and afterwards the desired time synchronization source again.
DST Status Bit

With "1", the DST status bit implemented in the SICAM I/O Unit signals that the local daylight saving time is
active. The operational indication "Daylight saving time" is displayed.

7.3 External Time Synchronization via Ethernet NTP
7.3
External Time Synchronization via Ethernet NTP
General
To synchronize the time via an external source, SICAM I/O Unit is equipped with an SNTP client (SNTP = Simple Network Time Protocol) that can be connected to 2 NTP servers (NTP = Network Time Protocol), the primary and the secondary (redundant) NTP server.
The chapter 6.3.3.5 describes how to set the parameters of the two servers.
NTP is used for external time synchronization via Ethernet. The SNTP client sends a time request to the NTP
server once a minute. The time synchronization error is 5 ms referred to UTC time of the NTP server.
The time stamp of the NTP server has a 64-bit format. Counting is accomplished in seconds and fractions of
seconds.
NOTE
The time format is described in detail in the RFC 5905 (Request for Comments 5905 for NTP).
Time Synchronization Procedure

The device was set to external time synchronization (Ethernet NTP) during the parameterization. After
switching on or resetting the device, the FAIL bit is first set to "1" (=invalid) and the device sends a time request
to the NTP server. After receiving the time information from the NTP server via Ethernet, the FAIL bit is set to
"0" (=valid) and the internal timer RTC (Real-Time Clock) is updated. The SNTP client repeats the time request
to the NTP server cyclically once every minute.
If the primary NTP server fails (for example, no response to a request twice or one of the criteria at "Redundant
NTP server" satisfied) and if the secondary NTP server is operational (always polled in parallel), the device
switches to the secondary NTP server. The FAIL bit remains = 0. In this case, the operational indication
"Primary NTP Server Error" is displayed, see chapter 12.
If the secondary NTP server is also invalid, the FAIL bit will be set to 1 after the programmable timer Error indication after (see Figure 6-31) has expired, and the "Clock Error" indication is output.
Redundant NTP Servers
The time synchronization supports a primary and a secondary NTP server. Different IP addresses are set for
the two NTP servers, see chapter 6.3.3.5.
SICAM I/O Unit cyclically polls both NTP servers once every minute, but during normal operation it is synchronized by the primary NTP server. The device automatically switches to the secondary NTP server if one of the
following criteria are met:
No response from the primary NTP server to two successive requests
The "Alarm" indication is set in the time information of the primary NTP server.
The primary NTP server responds with zero.
The message runtime in the network is > 5 ms.
The stratum of the primary NTP server is 0 (unknown) or > 3.
Switching to the secondary NTP server is prevented if:
The secondary server does not provide better time information (see criteria that initiate the switch from
primary to secondary NTP server; "Secondary NTP Server Error" indication was already output) or
The secondary server has recently been available for less than 10 minutes.
In these cases, SICAM I/O Unit is not synchronized anymore. The device uses the internal clock (on milliseconds time basis) and the last valid drift. After the programmable delay time, the device reports "Clock Error",
see chapter 12.

131
7.4 External Time Synchronization via Fieldbus
Switching Back from the Secondary to the Primary NTP Server

While the device is synchronized by the secondary NTP server, it continues to cyclically poll the primary NTP
server. The device will only switch back to the primary NTP server if it receives correct time information and if
none of the criteria for Redundant NTP Servers are fulfilled anymore.
NOTE
The parameterization of time is described in detail in chapter 6.3.3.5, section Time Synchronization via Ethernet NTP. For information regarding the data format, refer to chapter 8.2.7.1 and chapter 8.2.8.4.
7.4
External Time Synchronization via Fieldbus

If the device is connected with systems control via the serial FO or the RS485 interface through the
Modbus RTU protocol, then the external time synchronization is used via fieldbus.
The time information can also be transmitted from the systems control via Modbus TCP or Modbus UDP using
Ethernet. When using the Ethernet connection, we recommend, however, to synchronize the device from an
NTP server, see chapter 7.3.
For external time synchronization via fieldbus, a telegram is sent cyclically from the client to the device every
minute, together with the time information.
The time synchronization error using the Modbus RTU protocol is 20 ms max.
NOTE
The parameterization of time is described in detail in chapter 6.3.3.5, section Time Synchronization via Fieldbus (Modbus). For information regarding the data format, refer to chapter 8.2.7.1 and chapter 8.2.8.4.
7.5
Internal Time Synchronization via RTC

Besides external time synchronization, the internal time synchronization is also possible using the batterybuffered RTC. The SICAM I/O Unit features a quartz oscillator for this purpose.
The time offset of internal time synchronization is 86 ms/day maximum. Due to the reduced accuracy, RTC
should only be used in case of failure or unavailability of the external time synchronization.
NOTE
The parameterization of time is described in detail in chapter 6.3.3.5, section Internal Time Synchronization.
For information regarding the data format, refer to chapter 8.2.7.1 and chapter 8.2.8.4.

8.1 Communication Features
8.1
Communication Features
The SICAM I/O Unit supports communication via Ethernet and, depending on version, via the serial FO or the
RS485 interface.
If parameterized accordingly, communication can be performed in parallel via the Ethernet interface and
simultaneously via the serial interface. In doing so, it is for example possible to parameterize via Ethernet interface and to read out data, whilst the protocol traffic with a client is running via the serial interface or while the
I/O mirror is active.
8.1.1
Via the Ethernet interface, the following are supported:
Parameterization, analysis, and diagnosis with HTML pages
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign the network configuration (IP address etc.) to
clients in an Ethernet network with DHCP server
Time synchronization via NTP
Data exchange with connected devices via Modbus TCP (Modbus TCP server is implemented in the
SICAM I/O Unit)
Data exchange with connected devices via Modbus UDP (Modbus UDP server and Modbus UDP client is
implemented in the SICAM I/O Unit)
Data exchange between 2 SICAM I/O Units via Modbus UDP as point-to-point I/O mirror
Data exchange with connected devices via IEC 61850 (GOOSE, MMS, Reporting)
It is possible to directly connect 2 devices with Ethernet interface due to the integrated Ethernet switch.
8.1.1.1 TCP/IP Protokol Stack

SICAM I/O Unit supports the following TCP/IP services:
134
TCP/IP IPv4
DHCP Client (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
NTP (Network Time Protocol)
HTTP Server

8 Communication
8.1.1.2 IP Address
To enable the device to communicate within the Ethernet network, you have to establish a network configuration consisting of IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
The device comes delivered with a default IP address that can be restored at any time by pressing the IP-Addr.
button. Each device also has a unique MAC address.
The default IP address and the default subnet mask are imprinted on the side panel, see Figure 8-1:
Default IP Address : 192. 168.0.55

Default Subnet Mask : 255.255 .255.0
IP-Addr. push-button
Figure 8-1
With IP-Addr. Push-Button on the Side of the DIN Rail
Default IP Address and IP-Addr. Push-button

To set the default IP address assigned as factory setting, there is the IP-Addr. push-button on the bottom right
of the case on the side of the DIN rail (see Figure 8-1). When pressed (> 3 s), this button activates the factoryset default IP address. After pressing the IP-Addr. button, the device restarts and the IP address and subnet
mask are temporarily activated in the default IP network configuration. The customer-specific IP configuration
is not overwritten.
The network configuration settings can be displayed and edited on an HTML page during the parameterization
(see chapter 6.3.3.6). After a renewed restart the parameterized network configuration is used again.
Check for Twice Assigned IP Address
An IP address assigned twice, leads to serious malfunction in the communication network.
For this reason, an ARP request is sent to the own IP address during start-up of the device. If no response is
received from the communication network within 2 s, it is assumed that the IP address is not yet used in the
network.
Otherwise, the LEDs (see chapter 10.3) signal that the IP address is already assigned and the device is not
connected to the network. In this case, you have to specify a different IP address.
NOTE
If the device is directly connected to a PC (without Ethernet switch), the PC needs a longer period to be able
to detect the connection and therefore to receive the ARP telegram. In this case it may not be detected when
PC and device have the same IP address.

E50417-H1040-C484-A3, Edition 05.2012

8 Communication
Reception of the Network Configuration from the DHCP Server

The network configuration can also be obtained from an external server. Using the DHCP protocol, the device
is integrated into an already existing network.
If the IP address 0.0.0.0 is configured (see chapter 6.3.3.6), the device sends a query to the external DHCP
server requesting the network configuration immediately after booting. Having received the network configuration, the device launches the Ethernet services.
If no DHCP server is available, you have to disconnect the device from the network and start it using the default
IP address (see chapter 4.7.2) and assign a permanent IP address.
8.1.1.3 Ethernet Interface with internal Ethernet Switch

SICAM I/O Unit is equipped with an Ethernet interface. The data are exchanged via the RJ45 Ethernet plug
connector located on the top side of the device.

8.2.2
Exception Responses
NOTE
The exception responses for Modbus TCP and Modbus UDP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU (serial) are the
same.
The Modbus server performs a series of consistency checks of the Modbus client requests, and if errors (for
example request to read a nonexistent register) are detected, it generates Modbus exception codes which are
signaled to the Modbus client in exception responses messages.
The messages contain the following codes:
Exception-Code 01
The Modbus client uses a function that is not supported by the Modbus server of the SICAM I/O Unit (the
supported Modbus functions are listed in chapter 8.2.1).
Exception-Code 02
ILLEGAL_DATA_ADDRESS
An attempt is made to read out or write to a nonexistent Modbus register (see chapter 8.2.8, Modbus
mapping for valid registers).
An attempt is made to read out or write to too many registers. A Modbus message enables reading out
125 holding registers and writing to 123 holding registers maximum.
The Modbus clients tries to write to a register in the Modbus server for which only read access is allowed
according to the Modbus mapping (see chapter 8.2.8).
Exception-Code 03
ILLEGAL_DATA_VALUE
The Modbus client addresses a register, for which the access to partial data was not released.
The Modbus client attempts to write to the Modbus server for which the access rights are set to "read only".
The Modbus client, the I/O mirror server, or the I/O mirror client (Ethernet or serial) tries to control the
writing of the Indication from Remote indication into the register of the SICAM I/O Unit. If the SICAM I/
O Unit is configured as I/O mirror server or I/O mirror client (apart from I/O mirror server, serial, unidirectional), the Indication from Remote indication is only controlled via the I/O mirror.
Exception-Code 04

ILLEGAL_FUNCTION
SERVER_FAILURE
Error during the time format conversion in the Modbus server because a faulty date/time format was
received via Modbus (for example month format > 12).

Where:
Q: Status/quality bit: 0 = OK, 1 = invalid
V: Value bit: 0 = OFF, 1 = ON
Status or Quality Bit "Q"

An indication is invalid if the result of a calculation is based on an invalid value. In the case of an invalid indication, the quality bit is set to 1. The value bit can be ignored in this case.
Example: Indications from remote are invalid until they are set via communication. In the case of
communication failure, they automatically become invalid again.
For indications that are always valid, for example the internal device indication Device OK, "0" is transmitted
as the quality bit.
Value Bit "V"
The value bit indicates whether an indication is ON (=1) or OFF (=0).
8.2.7.3 Data Type - Controllable Indications/Commands (Read/Write)

The Controllable Indications data type is needed for:
The binary outputs of the SICAM I/O Unit (Indications from Remote)
Execution of device internal commands (for example resetting of counter)

The data for Modbus TCP and Modbus UDP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU (serial) in the Modbus registers are
the same.
The indications, values etc.are stored in holding registers. The existing register groups are described in the following chapters:
Register 0001 to 0049: Device identification, for example device type and name, serial number (read only)
Register 0050: Information on device configuration (read only)
Register 0051: Information on inputs/outputs, for example number of binary inputs/outputs (read only)
Register 0065 to 0068: Date and time (reading and writing)
Register 0071 to 0089: Version information, for example boot firmware (read only)
Register 0101: Indications regarding device status, for example battery fault (read only)

9.1
Maintenance
Except for a battery replacement, the SICAM I/O Unit is maintenance-free.
Wipe the device using a clean, dry and soft cloth if necessary. Do not use solvents.
The Product Information enclosed with the device (ordering code E50417-B1050-C484) describes how to
replace the battery.
9.2
Storage
Store the device in a dry and clean location. Store the device within a temperature range from -25 C to +70 C

To avoid premature aging of the electrolytic capacitors, store the device within the recommended temperature
range of +10 C to +35 C (+50 F to +95 F).
Siemens furthermore recommends connecting the device to supply voltage once a year for 1 to 2 days in order
to form the inserted electrolytic condensers. This procedure should also be carried out before operating the
device.
The Lithium-batteries in our equipment are subject to Special Provision 188 of the UN Recommendations on
the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations and Special Provision A45 of the IATA Dangerous
Goods Regulation and the ICAO Technical Instructions. This is only valid for the original battery or original
spare batteries.
NOTE
In this context, pay attention to the commissioning notes in chapter 4.7.
9.3
Transport
If devices are to be shipped elsewhere, you can reuse the transport packaging. When using different packaging, you must ensure that the transport requirements according to ISO 2248 are adhered to. The storage packing of the individual devices is not adequade for transport purposes.

Bus Termination of the RS485 Interface with Pullup/pulldown Resistors
The bus termination must be respectively carried out at the first and last RS485 device interface of the bus. No
terminating resistor may be used at all other devices in this line.
Siemens recommends the use of a bus termination plug with integrated (activatable) resistors in accordance
with Figure 11-1, for example plugs with 35-cable outlet type 6ES7972-0BA42-0XA0 (see chapter 2.2). Use a
2-wired, twisted and shielded cable (see chapter 2.2). In case of outdoor mounting Siemens recommends a

IP
Internet Protocol
IP address
Addresses in computer networks based on the Internet protocol
JavaScript
Script language mainly used by Web browsers
Keep Alive
KeepAlive on TCP level is a feature intended to verify the availability and

functioning of the communication partner (client) and to maintain a TCP network link
if the network is inactive.
The server sends KeepAlive messages (TCP packets without data) to the client in
regular intervals (KeepAlive time) while the network is inactive, and the client
responds to these messages.
If the client does not respond to a KeepAlive message, the server assumes that the
link is down or the client is inactive and closes the TCP link.

LED
Light-Emitting Diode
LSB
Least Significant Bit
M
MAC Address
Media Access Control address: Hardware address that clearly identifies the device
on the network.
MBAP
Modbus Application Protocol
MBAP Header
Header of a Modbus TCP message consisting of these 4 parts: Transaction identifier (2 bytes), protocol identifier (2 bytes), length (2 bytes), unit identifier (1 byte).
Modbus
The Modbus protocol is a communication protocol based on a client-server

architecture.
Modbus RTU
Modbus Remote Terminal Unit: Modbus protocol type for transmitting data over
serial networks (for example RS485)
Modbus TCP
Modbus Transmission Control Protocol: Modbus protocol type for transmitting data
as TCP/IP packets; TCP port 502 is reserved for Modbus TCP.
Modbus UDP
Modbus User Datagram Protocol: Modbus protocol type for transmitting data as
UDP/IP packets
MSB
Most Significant Bit
NO
Normally open: Type of relay
NTP
Network Time Protocol: Standard for synchronizing clocks in computer systems

using packet-based communication networks
Response time
Time the output needs to react to a signal change at the device input. Time
measured from an instant change at the AC input until the corresponding change of
a DC output quantity has reached 90% of its final value.

SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol: Simplified version of the NTP
SW
Software: Program executed on a computer
STP
Shielded twisted-pair is the cable for 100Base-T (Ethernet)
Stratum
Each NTP server is synchronized by a high-precision time standard or by another

NTP server. The stratum is the position of the NTP server in the hierarchy of NTP
servers polled by the device. The best stratum is 1, each further level in the NTP
server hierarchy increases the stratum by 1.
Subnet mask
Bit mask in the network protocol that defines how many IP addresses the computer
network encompasses. Together with the IP address of a device, the subnet mask
defines which IP addresses the device searches in its own network and which IP
addresses it tries to reach via routers in other networks.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: Family of network protocols
UDP/IP
User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol: Family of network protocols
UTC
Universal Time Coordinated: Universal time standard referred to the time at the
