Description
The SICAM A8000 device series has been designed for lots of
different tasks, both simple and complex. Its area of application
spans the entire energy-supply chain. Customer requirements
such as IT security, scalability, flexible communication, space-
saving design, and the ability to be used in harsh conditions
were taken into account when the SICAM A8000 was being
designed. The modular SICAM A8000 series offers optimized
solutions for all kinds of performance requirements.

Fields of Application
The SICAM A8000 has virtually limitless scalability and can be
expanded at any time due to the various power levels in the
processor modules, interface modules, and the I/O modules. The
area of application for the SICAM A8000 series extends from
distribution-system automation, via the connection of renew-
able energies (wind, solar, hydro), right up to railway power
supply and industrial applications.
The I/O modules are pluggable in any order. With a module
width of 30 mm, they are suitable for even the most minimal
spatial conditions and are scalable and extendable at any time in
an almost infinitely variable manner.

SICAM A8000 with HSR, PRP – Ethernet Redundancy Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP)
Protocols for Optimal Availability
PRP is a redundancy protocol to support seamless redundancy
In order to satisfy the requirements of important time-sensitive (= no reconfiguration times in case of a failure in one of the
applications, the latest High Availability Seamless Redundancy networks). The layer-2 redundancy process was developed for

High Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) certain upper limit. As shown in the figure, the 2 networks may
not be connected to one another.
HSR is a redundancy protocol for lossless, redundant transmis-

over takes place. Data losses are therefore avoided.
Every device in the network is connected via 2 Ethernet inter-
faces. The notifications are sent to both interfaces and therefore
transmitted in both directions in the ring simultaneously. 2 iden-
tical notifications arrive at the target (in a healthy state) within a
time frame. The 1st one is forwarded to the application whilst
the 2nd is discarded. The ring is monitored by cyclical HSR
management telegrams (cycle time of 2 seconds). An open ring
is signalized by a warning.
