For detailed information on measured values and measured quantities, see chapter 2.5.4 Measurands and the
Technical data in chapter 13 Technical Data.
Functionality of Records
The device can record measured values, events, and load profiles in parameterizable time intervals. The
following types of records are used:
• Waveform records:
Recording of voltage and current sampled values using programmable triggers
• Event records:
Recording of voltage events (acc. to IEC 61000-4-30: swells, dips, interruptions)
• Load-profile records:
Recording of load profiles determined on the basis of 10/12 cycles (50 Hz/60 Hz)
The device hosts a 2 GB micro SD card for storing the records.
Energy Management
As part of the energy management, the device records load profiles according to the Fixed Block or
Rolling Block method for all power quantities. Additionally, it is possible to calculate up to 8 tariffs (TOU =
Time of Use). Synchronization is processed with external or internal triggers.
Communication
The device has 1 Ethernet port which can be used as the Ethernet interface or as the integrated Ethernet
switch (in 1 network). Ethernet supports the device parameterization, transmission of measured values,
metered values, load profiles, and indications/events and the time synchronization with NTP. The supported
Ethernet communication protocols are HTTPS, IEC 61850, Modbus TCP, and SNMPv3.
The optional RS485 interface allows Modbus RTU and IEC 60870-5-103 protocols.
Time Synchronization
During operation, the device needs the date and time for all time-relevant processes. This ensures that a
common time basis exists when communicating with peripheral devices and enables time stamping of the
process data.
The following types of time synchronization can be executed:
• Internal time synchronization via RTC (if external time synchronization is not available)
Parameterization
Parameters are set using an internal Web browser with HTML pages from the connected computer (preferred).

Submenu Date/Time
[dw_submenu_date-time, 2, en_US]
General
During operation, the device 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 device is necessary to guarantee a common time basis for the communication
with peripheral devices and time stamping of the process data.
The device supports both external and internal time synchronization. The type of time synchronization is
specified during the parameterization. The external time synchronization from an NTP server is preferred.
NOTE
i The time format is described in detail in the RFC 5905 (Request for Comments 5905 for NTP).
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, you can configure a local time correction factor and
the automatic adjustment to daylight saving time during parameterization.
Table 2-2 FAIL Status Bit for Time Synchronization via NTP Server
FAIL Output
0 2016-09-26 13:49.35:246
1 2016-09-26 13?49?35?246
General
To synchronize the time via an external source, the device 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.
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.
Time-Synchronization Procedure
The device was set to external time synchronization (Ethernet NTP) during parameterization. After switching
on or resetting the device, the FAIL bit is first set to 1 (= invalid). 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) 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 14 Operational Indications and Operating Parameters.
If the secondary NTP server is also invalid, the FAIL bit will be set to 1 after the programmable timer error
indication after has expired, and the Clock Error indication is output.
• Alarm indication is set in the time information of the primary NTP server
• The secondary server does not provide better time information (see criteria that initiate the switch from
the primary to the secondary NTP server; Secondary NTP Server Error indication was already output)
• The secondary server has recently been available for less than 10 minutes.
In these cases, the device is not externally synchronized anymore. The device uses the internal clock (on
milliseconds time basis) and the last valid drift. After the programmable time delay, the device reports Clock
Error (see chapter 14 Operational Indications and Operating Parameters).
[sc_admin_Time_sync, 2, en_US]
• Click Activate.
NOTE
i NTP protocol: The SNTP client in the device is activated or deactivated during configuration of the time
synchronization. Ethernet NTP can be selected as Source time synchronization. Associated IP addresses
of the NTP servers can be entered.

2.5 AC Measurement
[sc_config_ac_measurement_p85x, 2, en_US]
2 In the case of contradictory parameter settings, Primary nominal voltage is indicated as faulty (red) and Network type as not
adjustable (gray). Moreover, the button Send is disabled.
3 Voltage and current values smaller than or equal to the setting referred to 100 % are not included in the calculation and display.
4 This parameter is to define whether the current direction is the same as the physical connection.
NOTE
i For SICAM P85X, the reference voltage and current values for the zero-point suppression are as follows:
NOTE
• Rated frequency
• Network type
Depending on the parameterized Primary nominal voltage, the following Voltage measurement ranges are
set automatically and the following network types are possible:
NOTE
i If you change the Network type during ongoing operation, check settings, measured values, and limiting
values for inconsistencies. Check also the ICD/IID file which is suitable for the network type. If there are any
invalid measured values and limiting values or a wrong ICD file, restart the device.

General
The load profile reflects the history of the electric power and documents the distribution of power fluctuations
and peaks. The load profile is determined on the basis of 10/12 cycles (50 Hz/60 Hz) and saved as average
value at the end of a measuring period in the load-profile image.
The device supports 2 methods for the determination of the average power value:
• Fixed block
• Rolling block
The load profile is stored in the non-volatile ring buffer of the device and provided at the communication
interfaces . In addition, it can be output as CSV file.
The load profile can be recorded in synchronized form (time, trigger) or in non-synchronized form. The
synchronization is made by external or internal triggers.
The following diagram shows a 45-min measuring period which consists of 3 subperiods of 15 min each
(Rolling block).
The measured and calculated load-profile data are stored in the ring buffer at the end of each subperiod. After
3 subperiods, the average power value of the measuring period is calculated from the 3 load-profile data of
the subperiods. The values (cumulative values and averages) can be retrieved at any time within a subperiod
via the communication. At the end of the 4th subperiod (d) the average power values are calculated from
subperiods b, c, and d.
The preset measuring-period length of a subperiod is 15 minutes.
[dw_power-history-15-min, 1, en_US]
Figure 5-1 Power History of a Measuring Period Consisting of Three 15-min Subperiods
• Fixed block
• Rolling block
Fixed Block
The Fixed-block method is characterized by the number of subperiods per period that is set to 1. It means
the period length is equal to the length of the subperiod.
[dw_load-profile-fixed-block, 1, en_US]
Figure 5-2 Determination of the Load Profile according to the Fixed-Block Method
Rolling Block
A measuring period of the rolling-block method consists of 2 to 5 subperiods depending on the parameteri-
zation.
The length of a measuring period is the product of the number of subperiods and the parameterized length
of the subperiod. The average power values of the periods are calculated from the total of the average power
values of the subperiods and its subperiod times as well as from the total period of time.
The following figure shows the history of the measuring periods during the load-profile determination:
[dw_load-profile-rolling-block, 1, en_US]

Rolling-Block Method
• Average power values for all power quantities during the measuring period, calculated from the average
power values at the end of every subperiod (red dots in the figure)
• Average power values for all power quantities during the subperiods (blue dots in the figure)
• Maximum and minimum values for all power quantities within the subperiods
• Cumulated power values for all power quantities at every sampling point within the current subperiod
The arithmetic average power values and the extreme values per subperiod are stored in the ring buffer. The
cumulated power values can be retrieved via communication or displayed on the Web pages.
Load-Profile Calculation – Arithmetic average power value:
The calculation of the arithmetic average power value of a measuring period refers to the actual duration of
the measuring period.
Special case: With constant power consumption or constant power supply, the arithmetic average power value
also remains constant in the current measuring period.
Load-Profile Calculation – Cumulated power value:
The power values are calculated cumulatively and the calculation refers to the (expected) length of the
respective subperiod.
Special case: With constant power consumption or constant power supply, the cumulated power value rises
linearly in the current measuring period.
Current Load-Profile Data at the Communication Interfaces and on the Web Pages
The load-profile data of the current and last completed periods are output at the communication interfaces.
For information on the data transmission via the communication protocols Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, and
IEC 61850, refer to the Communication manual.
On the Web pages, the load-profile data are displayed in the tab Value view→ Load profile.
Types of Synchronization
At the beginning of every subperiod, the device expects a synchronization signal which can either be supplied
externally or created internally.
External supply of the synchronization signal:
Device Restart
If a functional battery is installed in the device, the existing load-profile records are kept unchanged.
• LOADPROFILE_FLAG_QUALITY_SYNC
The device triggered the period end prematurely due to a synchronization irregularity. As long as the time
has not been determined, the flag is set. The time can be undefined if the battery could not buffer the
time, for example, due to discharged battery.
• LOADPROFILE_FLAG_QUALITY_AUXPOWER_FAIL
The device triggered the period end prematurely due to supply-voltage failure.
• LOADPROFILE_FLAG_QUALITY_UNSECURE
The load-profile data are unsafe. Reasons are:
– Measuring current or measuring voltage are outside the specified range
– Type of reactive power was changed
The additional information is stored with the other load-profile data and can be retrieved via the communica-
tion interfaces.

8.1 Overview
The following table contains an overview of the security features. Individual topics are explained in the
following chapters.
Topic Description
HTTPS The device supports the following HTTPS features:
• For access to the Web UI of the device, the secure HTTPS communication
protocol is used. Unencrypted HTTP access is not supported.
• The free software Mbed TLS is used for the TLS implementation.
• The integrated Web server supports connection requests with the crypto-
graphic protocol versions TLS1.2. Older versions are rejected due to security
reasons.
• Only high-strength Cipher Suites (key length ≥ 128 bit) are supported.
• The device generates a self-signed TLS-certificate and is therefore not signed
and confirmed by a certification authority. When using the user interface,
all browsers will show a message regarding an unknown certificate warning
about an untrusted connection. Due to the authentication scheme used
by browsers, Siemens cannot provide certificates (for example, during
assembly) to be used for HTTPS with browsers. This is because either the
DNS name or the IP address of the device has to be part of the signed
certificate, both of which are ultimately determined after installation at
the site of the customer. That is why the products generate a self-signed
certificate after the IP address has been set. This self-signed certificate has to
be trusted in a secure way on all clients used to access this device.
You can find the recommended way of trusting self-signed certificates in the
document Certificate trusting in web browsers. You can find this docu-
ment at http://www.siemens.com/gridsecurity, Downloads > Downloads
Cyber Security General > Application Notes.
• As the certificate is linked to the IP address of the device, it is generated
anew with each change of the IP address.
Firmware with digital The integrity and authenticity of the firmware package is protected by a digital
signature signature. Only a firmware package with a valid digital signature can be uploaded
into the device.
Automatic logout after a If there are no actions via the Web browser for a timeout session (10 min by
timeout of no action default), you log off automatically. For further actions, you must log on to the

8.4.1 Overview
The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in Germany describes hardening in IT security as “[…] the
removal of all software components and functions that are not absolutely necessary for the fulfillment of the
intended task by a program.”
In practice, hardening measures fulfill the following objectives:
Siemens recommends applying the provided security updates by using the corresponding tooling and docu-
mented procedures that are available with the product. If supported by the product, an automatic means to
apply the security updates across multiple product instances can be used.
Siemens recommends validating any security update before being applied, and supervision by trained staff of
the update process in the target environment.
As a general security measure, Siemens recommends protecting the network access with appropriate mecha-
nisms, for example, firewalls, segmentation, or VPN.
To run the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends configuring the environ-
ment according to the operational guidelines. You can find recommended security guidelines at https://
www.siemens.com/gridsecurity.
NOTE
i Activate the ports only when you need to use the corresponding communication protocols.
• Deactivating unnecessary system and communication services, such as remote operation and remote
maintenance
NOTE
i You can find a collection of Best-Practice hardening guides for various operating systems, server services,
and standard applications, for example, at the Center for Internet Security via http://www.cisecurity.org.
