2.1 Programming SIPROTEC Devices
You can program your own automation functions in SIPROTEC devices.

Use DIGSI CFC for programming.
Selecting In the configuration matrix of DIGSI select the items of information which
information items you want to use to program the respective function.
DIGSI CFC In DIGSI CFC you draw the technological sequence of the function in the
form of a CFC chart.
Priority class Set a priority class for each CFC chart depending on the necessary
processing priority (e.g. protective function) and processing time
(e.g. cyclical).
CFC chart In the CFC chart you interconnect the items of information by means of
CFC blocks.
Parameter set After you have compiled the CFC charts and terminated DIGSI CFC, you
can download the created program to the SIPROTEC device with the
parameter set.
Note:
The subsequent action instructions are usually described on the basis of
the menu commands.
Many of the menu commands can be called up by using icons on the
toolbar.
Use View → Toolbar to hide or show the toolbar.
In addition keyboard shortcuts are available for many functions. Take
note of the information given behind the individual menu commands.
Useful information can also be found in the status bar which you can hide
or display by using View → Status Bar:
Information on the operating action currently being carried out,
The state of the lockable keys,
Number of the current sheet in the CFC chart and
Currently active priority class (for example PLC_BEARB [Fast PLC]).

2.2 Priority Classes
Every function which you program with DIGSI CFC has to be assigned to
a priority class. The individual priority classes differ in their processing
priority and execution time:
Fast PLC processing (PLC_BEARB / PLC)
Slow PLC processing (PLC1_BEARB / PLC1)
Measured value processing (MW_BEARB/ MEASURE)
Interlocking (SFS_BEARB / INTERLOCK)
Processing The processing priority also specifies the type of functions which you can
priority assign to a specific priority class:

tive device slightly less often.
6 CFC Manual
E50417-H1176-C098-A7
Note:
Some CFC blocks (e.g. TIMER) can only be used in the specified priority
classes. Please refer to the corresponding information in Chapter 4 of
this manual.
Note:
Several CFC charts can be assigned to a priority class.
The system firmware of the SIPROTEC devices always processes a
chart completely before another chart of the same priority class is started.
Note:
When using the cyclical levels, observe the measured value processing
(MW_BEARB) and interlocking (SFS_BEARB):
For reliable detection, input signals must be active at least as long as the
cycle time of the respective level. Changing an input signal does not trig-
ger the processing of a chart.
Note:
The order of processing for charts of a level during cyclical triggering is
random and cannot be predicted.

2.3 Programming Guidelines
When programming functions with DIGSI CFC, you must observe a set
of guidelines in order to avoid problems with program processing.
2.3.1 CFC Standard Formula
Work through the following eight steps consecutively when programming

functions with DIGSI CFC:
1. Configure to CFC.
2. Save the configuration matrix.
3. Insert a CFC chart.
4. Specify the priority class.
5. Draw the chart.
6. Check the run sequence.
7. Compile the chart.
8. Save the parameter set.
2.3.2 Splitting and Joining Information Items
Description Using DIGSI configuring, you can split information items into several indi-
cations. If you join these indications later on in a CFC chart or CFC block,
malfunctions in the program processing may occur (e.g. a CFC block can
be initiated even though it is not fully initialised).
Note:
Ensure that you do not split an information item into several indications
in DIGSI configuring and later join them in a CFC chart or CFC block.
Solution If you split an information item into several indications for function pro-
gramming and then later on need to join them in a CFC chart or CFC
block, divert the required indications with suitable CFC blocks in the CFC
chart.

E50417-H1176-C098-A7
2.3 Programming Guidelines
2.3.3 Maximum Permissible Number of Blocks
Description The maximum permissible number of blocks in the individual priority

classes of the CFC charts of a SIPROTEC device depends on the com-
putational capacity of the devices and is monitored via the CFC compiler.
Observe the technical data in the device manual of the
SIPROTEC device which you want to use.
Note:
The maximum permissible number of MEMORY, RS_FF_MEMO,
SR_FF_MEMO, D_FF_MEMO and COUNTER blocks depends on the
available non-volatile memory and is monitored by the CFC compiler.
The maximum permissible number is checked during the compilation of
the CFC chart. Consistency errors are indicated when a fault occurs. The
exceeding of the resource is indicated in the displayed compilation log.
Note:
The following applies for SIPROTEC devices with a device version less
than V4.5:
The maximum permissible number of CMD_CHAIN blocks in the priority
classes
Fast PLC processing (priority class PLC_BEARB) and
Slow PLC processing (priority class PLC1_BEARB)
is 20 blocks.
Note:
The maximum permissible number of TIMER and TIMER_SHORT
blocks is limited by the available system timers and is monitored by the
CFC compiler.

Note:
If measured values are configured as input signals for the CFC on the left
border and are interconnected in one of the priority classes PLC_BEARB
[Fast PLC] and PLC1_BEARB [Slow PLC] in CFC charts, a value change
in the measured values does not automatically cause these charts to be
processed.
Measured values must be processed in the priority class MW_BEARB.

Note:
Information configured as output signals for the CFC on the right border
are only logged in the result logs of the respective device for a value
change of the interconnected signal in the CFC chart.
Note:
Transient information is not suitable as an input signal for logic opera-
tions in the CFC.
A transient information can be used to trigger the processing of charts in
the event-oriented priority classes PLC_BEARB [Fast PLC] and
PLC1_BEARB [Slow PLC]. The charts are then processed whenever the
indication occurs.

Interlocking (priority class SFS_BEARB) is used when a command is to

be output. In addition, cyclical processing occurs in the background.
Note:
When a SIPROTEC device is inserted, standard CFC charts are also
inserted. The CFC chart Interlocking already uses the output signals
used in the following example. To understand the example, you must first
delete the CFC chart Interlocking.

The phase currents are monitored in the CFC priority class MW_BEARB
(Measured value processing).
In order to change the setting group after 10 seconds have expired, use
a timer. However, the provided TIMER (universal timer) block cannot be
executed in the CFC priority class MW_BEARB (measured value
processing). The CFC priority class PLC1_BEARB (Slow PLC process-
ing) is required for this purpose.
Since different priority classes are required, divide the CFC program into
two CFC charts with the following priority classes:

3.2 Flashing LED
3.2 Flashing LED
Flashing LEDs are often used to draw attention to a particular state

(for example, safety-critical state) of a plant. In SIPROTEC 4 devices you
can use a CFC program to simulate the flashing mechanism.
Note:
The BLINK block is available for SIPROTEC devices of version V4.5.
This block can be used in all priority classes.
Task The following task is to be implemented:

In many cases a short pulse (for example pressing the function
key F1) is used to change to a safety-critical state. The state is
signalled by a flashing LED.
A further short pulse (for example the function key F2) is used to
terminate the safety-critical state and thus the flashing of the LED.
Preparing In order to prepare the evaluation of the function keys F1 and F2 via a
evaluation of CFC program:

• Rename the new items of information to F1 Flash and F2 NoFlash.
• Configure the function key 1 to the information F1 Flash.
• Configure the function key 2 to the information F2 NoFlash.

E50417-H1176-C098-A8
3.2 Flashing LED
• Flashing is implemented with two TIMER (universal timer) blocks:

The first timer is started via the signal F1 Flash. Immediately after the
start the internal timer T1 runs for 250ms (tOff) and sets the output
QT1 to the binary signal 1 s for this period.
The output signal QT1 of the first timer serves as the starting signal
for the second timer. Here, however, the internal timer T2 is used
which does not start until the starting signal at the start input drops
again, meaning exactly after the time tOff=250ms has expired. It runs
for 50ms (tOn) and sets the corresponding output QT2 to the binary
signal 1 for this period. This signal is gated to the LED (LED Flash)
which is illuminated correspondingly. After the timer expires the LED
extinguishes.
The sequence has to be repeated in order for the LED to flash. There-
fore the output QT2 of the second timer is gated via the OR (OR gate)
block to the start input of the first timer block. This is a permitted feed-
back. The warning which occurs when the CFC chart is compiled is
meaningless.
In order to switch off the flashing LED connect the reset inputs of the
two timers to the signal F2 NoFlash.
Note:
sequence. The OR block has to have a sequence number which is larger
than the sequence number of the second TIMER block. If necessary,
correct the run sequence by using the menu Edit → Run Sequence.
Note:
In the example above, the TIMER (universal timer) block is used for the
simulation of the flash function. Depending on the version of the SIPRO-
TEC device used, you can also use the TIMER_SHORT (simple timer) or
LONG_TIMER (timer (max. 1,193h)) blocks for monitoring.
The LONG_TIMER (timer (max. 1,193 h)) block can be executed in all
CFC priority classes.

3.2 Flashing LED
Compiling After you have created the CFC partial chart, you can compile the CFC
CFC chart overall chart via the Chart → Compile → Charts as Program menu.
Note:
When compiling the CFC chart a warning is output due to a feedback
within the CFC chart. The feedback is permitted in this case and the
warning is meaningless.
Continuous signal If a continuous signal (for example keyswitch) is to be used as the start-
as a starting signal ing signal for flashing instead of a short pulse (for example function
for flashing key F1), the continuous signal has to be converted.
The continuous signal can be converted via an additional
upstream TIMER block into two short signals corresponding to the sig-
nals F1 Flash and F2 NoFlash:
The signal to be converted is gated to the start input of this additional
timer. T1x1ms and T2x1ms each have a value of 10 ms assigned to
them:
Irrespective of the signal duration the coming start signal results in a
short (10 ms) pulse at the output QT1. The going start signal results in
a short (10 ms) pulse at the output QT2. The output QT1 (corresponding
to the signal F1 Flash) is therefore connected to the set input S of the
first timer. The output QT2 (corresponding to the signal F2 NoFlash) is
connected to the reset input R of both timers.

3.3 Reverse Interlocking
Economical bus-bar protection with overcurrent protection devices can

be set up using reverse interlocking.
It is assumed that the bus-bar is fed via a feeder and the other feeders
go to the loads. A typical use is for bus-bars in electricity distribution net-
works of high and average voltage. In the high and highest voltage, this
principle is seldom used, and separate bus-bar protection is used.
Principle The principle is quite simple. The normal pickup stage I> of overcurrent
protection devices in the feeders, which lead to the loads, blocks the high-
current pickup stage I>> of the feeding feeder via a binary input.
The delay time of the high-current stage of the feeding feeder is set so that
a secure blocking by the I> pickup of the feeder is ensured (50-100 ms).
The I>> pickup of the feeding feeder must be set clearly higher than the
I> pickup of the feeder to the loads to ensure secure addressing of the I>
pickup.
A malfunction during reverse interlocking causes the bus-bar to switch
off.
For this reason, this function has a high security relevance, from a pro-
tection point of view.
3.3.1 Intended Behaviour of Interlocking During a Short-Circuit
External short- An external short-circuit causes pickup of the I> stage of the overcurrent
circuit on a feeder protection at a feeder. This pickup is configured to a contact and blocks
the I>> stage of the feeding feeder via a binary input assigned to block.
Thus the I>> stage cannot trip, even if its delay time has expired. The
short-circuit is switched off by overcurrent protection devices of the short-
circuiting feeder. With dropout of the pickup of the I> stage, blocking is
reset, as the short-circuit is no longer in effect.
62 CFC Manual
E50417-H1176-C098-A8
Short-circuit on the The I>> stage of the feeding feeder is set so that it securely picks up dur-
bus-bar ing a bus-bar short-circuit. A bus-bar short-circuit does not lead to pickup
of one of the I> stages of the other feeder.
Only the I>> stage picks up with this. Once the set delay time has
expired, a TRIP command is output and the feeding circuit breaker trips.
Thus the bus-bar short-circuit is remedied.
3.3.2 Reverse Interlocking via Discrete Wiring
In principle, there are two options for implementing blocking with discrete
wiring.
Solution 1 Blocking of the binary input occurs via the connection of a voltage to the
binary input. The contacts of the I> pickups of the feeders are wired in
parallel to the binary input block I>>; in logical terms, they are OR-com-
bined. Addressing one or more contacts causes blocking of the binary
input and thus the I>> stage.
This method has a disadvantage: If the overcurrent protection device of
the feeder fails temporarily and a short-circuit then occurs on this feeder,
blocking cannot occur. The result would be the incorrect switching of the
bus-bar. This disadvantage prevents the second method of blocking.
Solution 2 The contacts of the I> pickups are connected in series and form a quies-
cent current loop. NC (normally-closed) contacts are used here. Under
normal conditions, a voltage is connected to the binary input. The binary
input is assigned the Pickup I>> indication.
If the device only has the indication Blocking I>>, which is often the
case, it is set to 'active without voltage'; this corresponds to an Inverted
Pickup in logical terms.
As long as no I> stage is picked up, the I>> stage is enabled.
Tripping occurs for a bus-bar fault.
If, on the other hand, an I> stage picks up in the feeders, the contact
opens and the loop is broken. No voltage is connected to the binary input
at this point. This condition leads to blocking of the I>> stage, which is
assigned active without voltage.
The advantage of this method is that a device can be allowed to fail. In
this case, the loop is interrupted, and automatic blocking of the I>> stage
is achieved. Thus unwanted operation during a short-circuit is prevented.
CFC Manual 63
E50417-H1176-C098-A8
3.3.3 Reverse Interlocking via IEC 61850
Due to the security relevance of the reverse interlocking, the security phi-
losophy corresponding to solution 2 should be implemented in the same
way as with the discrete wiring via IEC 61850.
Requirements The following requirements must be fulfilled:

Reverse interlocking is implemented via the
IEC 61850 GOOSE service.
The overcurrent protection (O/C) of feeding offers the function of
blocking for the I>> stage.
The pickup of the I> stage of the other O/C is transferred with
IEC 61850.
The following GOOSE transfer characteristics are configured:
First repetition time = 4 ms
Last repetition time = 1 s.
Implementation The following implementation is suggested:

The pickup indications I> from the individual feeder O/C devices, includ-
ing the accompanying quality attribute and time stamp, are transferred as
a GOOSE message with the transfer characteristics listed above.
These GOOSE messages are all subscribed by the feeding device. The
pickup indications and the accompanying status information valid is
transferred to the internal CFC logic.
Using a CFC chart, the conventional procedure listed above
(solution 2: quiescent current loop) is simulated:
Each pickup indication I> leads to blocking of the I>> stage.
If a feeder O/C fails, the status of the accompanying pickup indication
is set to invalid after the expiration of the Time Out time (2 x last rep-
etition time) in the feeding device. This status change then also leads
to a blocking of the I>> pickup stage.
Using this logic, the behaviour of the discrete wiring with solution 2 is
simulated: A device pickup or a failure of a device causes a blocking of
the I>> stage and prevents unwanted operation of the feeding overcur-
rent protection.

4.1 Data Types
Status For the DINT data type, additional values are defined as status informa-
information for data tion in DIGSI CFC as a supplement to the valid value range:
type DINT
Table 4-2 Status information for the data type DINT in DIGSI CFC
DINT value Status Meaning
-2147483647 OVERFLOW_NEG Value range undershot
-2147483646 NOT_DEFINED Undefined value
2147483644 LIVE_ZERO Invalid, e.g. due to a wire break
2147483645 NOT_CALCULATED No calculation performed
2147483646 INVALID Value is invalid
2147483647 OVERFLOW_NEG Value range undershot
Note:
In DIGSI, the value range for the DINT data type is not limited. When
using information in DIGSI CFC, ensure that you do not inadvertently
set status information.
Status The same status information is available for the REAL data type as for
information for data the DINT data type. The status values used lie outside the valid value
type REAL range, however, and therefore cannot be represented as numbers.
Data structures of The data structures of the data type STRUCT each consist of two ele-
data type STRUCT ments which are value (VAL) and status (STAT):
VAL [BOOL] and STAT [WORD]
e. g. Output Y of block SI_SET_STATUS
VAL [WORD] and STAT [WORD]
e.g. Output Y of block DI_SET_STATUS
VAL [DINT] and STAT [WORD]
e.g. Output Y of block MV_SET_STATUS

You can display the data structures via the Object properties context
menu of the block connection in question.

4.3.3 DYN_OR
Function The Dynamic OR Gate block can be used to combine the messages.
In contrast to the logical OR gate, the dynamic OR gate signals each
incoming input signal change at the output.
While the device starts up, the double-point indication intermediate
position (00) is output at the output.
If no signals are connected to the inputs during the chart run, the double-
point indication OFF (01) is output.
If a signal is active at an output during the chart run, the double-point indi-
cation ON (10) is output.
If an additional incoming signal is detected at one input after a first signal
already active at another input is detected, the output is set for a chart
run at intermediate position (11). The signal change is only output as a
double-point indication ON (10) with the following chart run.
The dynamic OR gate has 5 inputs. If you require more than 5 inputs, you
can interconnect several dynamic OR gates in series. To do so, the
respective double-point indication must be decoded at the output of the
preceding dynamic OR gate using the DM_DECODE block and the out-
put signal ON (10) must be connected to the input of the next dynamic
OR gate.

4.6.4 CMD_CANCEL
Function The Cancel Command block enables you to cancel a running command.
If the value -1 (default setting) is assigned to the object address DEVICE,
all commands are cancelled. Cancelling is triggered by a rising pulse
edge at the TRIG input without taking the secondary conditions into
account (switching authority, interlocking conditions etc.).
The specification for the ORIGIN source does not affect the function of
the block. The source is just additional information for the indication log.

Function The Switching Sequence block generates chains which consist of sev-
eral individual commands.
Basic functions of this block are:
Render command.
Wait for reply of successfully executed command and
Signal success at the output of the block for further commands.
Switching sequences are parameterized as a command chain. Several
CMD_CHAIN blocks are switched in series. The Daisy Chain mechanism
is used for block chaining. The sequence of the switching operations in a
command chain is determined by the block’s position in the command
chain.
The LOOP block can be used to reset the complete switching sequence
after the execution of the last successful command.
CMD_CHAIN.tif

Note:
If the CMD_CHAIN block is used in the priority class Slow PLC process-
ing (priority class PLC1_BEARB), the block LOOP block has to be used
in order to reset the complete switching sequence after the last command
has been completed successfully.

Note:
A current switching sequence can be cancelled by resetting the signal at
the DCI input of the first block in the command chain. This block switches
the signal through to all the following blocks in the chain via the DCO out-
put. The active block in the command chain is marked by DCI = 1 and
DCO = 0.
If the signal at the DCI input drops out during a current switching com-
mand, an abortion task is generated for the current command and the
switching sequence is terminated. The result of the abortion task is
awaited:
Command can be aborted
The switching operation which can be aborted currently is terminated
immediately. Switching operations following the command chain are
not executed.
Command cannot be aborted
The switching operation which cannot be aborted currently is termi-
nated immediately. Switching operations following the command
chain are not executed.
Whether or not a command can be aborted depends on the operating
mode (object properties) of the command:
Persistent output cannot be aborted.
Pulse output can be aborted.

Note:
The Command Information block is intended for use with Interlocking
(priority class SFS_BEARB), to check the switching state of a switching
object. The block only functions conditionally in the other priority classes.
Interlocking conditions will not be taken into account. It is only shown
whether a switching command is attached (regardless of whether the
switching command is also carried out).
You must interconnect a Command Information block for each control
device from which you require information for an initialized switching
command.

4.6.7 LOOP
Function The signal feedback block enables a signal to be fed back.

Here, feedback means the interconnection of a block output to the input
of a block with a smaller sequence number within a CFC chart.
The CFC chart that includes the fed back signal is processed again. New
input signals that might have arrived at the blocks are ignored. During the
worksheet's reprocessing, input signals do not change except for the sig-
nal that is being fed back by the LOOP block.
The LOOP block is used, for example, at switching sequences
(see CMD_CHAIN block): After termination of the last successful com-
mand, the signal is fed back thus resetting the complete switching
sequence.

Note:
The blocks LIVE_ZERO, LOWER_SETPOINT, UPPER_SETPOINT and

Function In order to be able to detect sensor faults or wiring faults between the
transducer and the sensor, the measured values to be captured are not
allowed to vary between 0% and 100%, but only between the live zero
value (usually 20%) and 100%.
Values below the live zero value are interpreted as a fault and will cause
the Live Zero Monitoring block to generate a message.

4.9 Metered Value
4.9 Metered Value
You can implement counters using the metered value blocks.

The following metered value blocks are available:
COUNTER
4.9.1 COUNTER
Function The counter block counts the positive edges of the Clk input and adds
the value DELTA to the saved value with each positive edge.
During initial start-up, the counter status VAL is initialised with the value
active at the BEGIN input.
During a restart, the non-volatile saved value of the counter status VAL
is used.
If the counter status exceeds the value END, the counter status is initial-
ised with the value active at the BEGIN input, and the output OVER-
FLOW switches from the value 0 to 1. This indicates an overflow. The
signal for the overflow remains set until the value 0 is active at the Clk
input again or the device is restarted.
The counter value can be explicitly set to the value active at the BEGIN
input by a rising edge at the RESET input.
COUNTER.tif
Figure 4-65 COUNTER block
Note:
The maximum permissible number of RS_FF_MEMO, SR_FF_MEMO,
D_FF_MEMO and COUNTER blocks depends on the available non-vol-
atile memory and is monitored by the CFC compiler. Observe the techni-
cal data in the device manual of the SIPROTEC device which you want
to use.

RESET BOOL Resets the counter to the ini- 0

tial value
Outputs: VAL DINT Current status of the counter Saved value
OVERFLOW BOOL Counter overflow 0

Indicates that the final value
has been reached
Note:
If a value outside the value range is active at the BEGIN, DELTA and
END inputs, (data type DINT: -2147483631 to 2147483631), the
output VAL is set to NOT_CALCULATED (output OVERFLOW = 0).
The inputs Clk and RESET are not evaluated. The internal metered value
is not changed.
When new valid values are available at BEGIN, DELTA, and END, the
internal metered value at output VAL is output.

4.10.1 ALARM
Function The Alarm block indicates that the alarm time specified with the input
sizes has been reached by changing from the value 0 to 1 at the Q output.
Q remains set for the duration of the matching (1 second).
By using placeholders, time specifications enabling cyclical triggering
(annual, monthly, daily, hourly, once per minute) can be implemented.
If no valid time period is specified (e.g. 31 February), this is indicated via
the ERR output. The ERR output remains set until a valid time period is
specified again.
Note:
Inconsistencies in the time (change from winter to summer) are not taken
into account. If the time period is within this time frame, either no double
triggering occurs or only one does.

4.10.2 BLINK
Function The Blink module was designed especially for signal encoding to light
sources (e.g. LEDs). For this purpose, it has one input each for the set-
ting of the time for the light and dark phases.
With a rise change from the value 0 to 1 at the ENABLE input, the flash-
ing block is started. At the Q output, the signal switches from the value 0
to 1 and vice versa, depending on the set times. The flashing block is
stopped again with a rise change from the value 1 to 0.
The flashing block always starts with the light phase THx100ms and can
be interrupted at any time. After a cancellation, the value 0 is always out-
put at the Q output of the flasher.
Note:
The resolution of the flashing timer is 100 ms. In this way, the first light
phase can be up to 99 ms over the set value THx100ms, depending on
the initial time of the flasher.
The smallest cycle time is 100 ms. This cycle time cannot be undershot
for values less than 100 ms for the light phase THx100ms or the dark
phase TLx100ms either. In case of undershooting, the value 100 ms is
used automatically.

Bay controllers Bay controllers are devices with control and monitoring functions without
protective functions.
Control display The display which is displayed on devices with a large (graphic) display
after you have pressed the control key is called the control display. It
contains the switchgear that can be controlled in the feeder with status
display. It is used to perform switching operations. Defining this diagram
is part of the configuration.
Cleaning up Frequent addition and deletion of objects gives rise to memory areas that
can no longer be used. By cleaning up projects, you can release these
memory areas again. However, a clean up also reassigns the VD
addresses. The consequence of that is that all SIPROTEC 4 devices
have to be reinitialised.
Combination Combination devices are bay devices with protection functions and a
devices control display.
Combination matrix Up to 16 compatible SIPROTEC 4 devices can communicate with one

another in an Inter Relay Communication combination, (IRC
combination). Which device exchanges which information is defined with
the help of the combination matrix.
Communication The communication reference describes the type and version of a station
reference CR in communication by PROFIBUS.
Component view In addition to a topological view, SIMATIC Manager offers you a

component view. The component view does not offer any overview of the
hierarchy of a project. It does, however, provide an overview of all the
SIPROTEC 4 devices within a project.
Container General term summarizing objects comprising further objects. The object
Folder is an example of such a container.
CFC Manual 197

E50417-H1176-C098-A8
Glossary
Device container In the Component View, all SIPROTEC 4 devices are assigned to an
object of the type Device container. This object is also a special object
of DIGSI 4 Manager. However, since there is no component view in
DIGSI 4 Manager, this object only becomes visible in conjunction with
STEP 7.
Field devices Generic term for all devices assigned to the field level: Protection
devices, combination devices, bay controllers.
Folder This object type is used to create the hierarchical structure of a project.
HV field description The HV project description file contains details of fields which exist in a
ModPara-project. The actual field information of each field is memorized
in a HV field description file. Within the HV project description file, each
field is allocated such a HV field description file by a reference to the file
name.
IEC address Within an IEC bus a unique IEC address has to be assigned to each
SIPROTEC 4 device. A total of 254 IEC addresses are available for each
IEC bus.
Initialization string An initialization string comprises a range of modem-specific commands.

These are transmitted to the modem within the framework of modem
initialization. The commands can, for example, force specific settings for
the modem.
IRC combination Inter Relay Communication, IRC, is used for directly exchanging process
information between SIPROTEC 4 devices. You require an object of type
IRC combination to configure an Inter Relay Communication. Each user
of the combination and all the necessary communication parameters are
defined in this object. The type and scope of the information exchanged
among the users is also stored in this object.
Link address The link address indicates the address of a V3/V2-device. You can
change this address by means of DIGSI 3.x.
List view The right pane of the project window displays the names and icons of
objects which represent the contents of a container selected in the tree
view. Because they are displayed in the form of a list, this area is called
the list view.
MLFB Number MLFB is the abbreviation of the term Maschinenlesbare

Fabrikatebezeichnung (machine-readable product designation).
This is the equivalent of an order number. The type and version of a
SIPROTEC 4 device are coded in the order number.

Modem connection This object type contains information on both partners of a modem
connection, the local modem and the remote modem.
Modem profile A modem profile consists of the name of the profile, a modem driver and
may also comprise several initialization commands and a user address.
You can create several modem profiles for one physical modem. To do
so you need to link various initialization commands or user addresses to
a modem driver and its properties and save them under different names.
Modems Modem profiles for a modem connection are saved in this object type.
Object General term specifying each element in a CFC project structure.
Object properties Each object has properties. These might be general properties that are
common to several objects. An object can also have specific properties.
Parameter set The parameter set is the set of all parameters that can be set for a
SIPROTEC 4 device.
Phone Book User addresses for a modem connection are saved in this object type.
PROFIBUS PROcess FIeld BUS, German process and field bus standard that is
defined in standard EN 50170, volume 2, PROFIBUS. It defines the
functional, electrical, and mechanical properties for a bit-serial field bus.
PROFIBUS address Within a PROFIBUS network a unique PROFIBUS address has to be

assigned to each SIPROTEC 4 device. A total of 254 PROFIBUS
addresses are available for each PROFIBUS network.
Project Content-wise, a project is the image of a real power supply system.

Graphically, a project is represented by a number of objects which are
integrated in a hierarchical structure. Physically, a project consists of a
series of folders and files containing project data.
Protection devices All devices with a protective function.
Service Rear serial interface on the devices for connecting DIGSI 4 (for example,
Interface via modem).
Setting Parameters General term for all adjustments made to the device. Configuration is
executed by means of DIGSI 4 or, in some cases, directly on the device.

SIPROTEC The registered trademark SIPROTEC 4 is used for devices implemented

on system base V4.
SIPROTEC 4 device This object type represents a real SIPROTEC 4 device with all the setting
values and process data it contains.
SIPROTEC 4 This object type represents a variant of an object of type SIPROTEC 4

Variants device. The device data of this variant may well differ from the device
data of the source object. However, all variants derived from the source
object have the same VD address as the source object. For this reason
they always correspond to the same real SIPROTEC 4 device as the
source object. Objects of type SIPROTEC 4 variant have a variety of
uses, such as documenting different operating states when entering
parameter settings of a SIPROTEC 4 device.
System interface Rear serial interface on the devices for connecting to a control system via
IEC or PROFIBUS.
Topological view DIGSI 4 Manager always displays a project in the topological view. This
shows the hierarchical structure of a project with all available objects.
Tree view The left pane of the project window displays the names and symbols of
all containers of a project in the form of a folder tree. This area is called
the tree view.
User address A user address comprises the name of the station, the national code, the
area code and the user-specific phone number.
Users Up to 16 compatible SIPROTEC 4 devices can communicate with one

another in an Inter Relay Communication combination. The individual
participating devices are called users.
V3/V2 device This object type represents a reference to existing data of a device of
version V3 or V2.
VD address The VD address is assigned automatically by DIGSI 4 Manager. It exists

only once in the entire project and thus serves to identify unambiguously
a real SIPROTEC 4 device. The VD address assigned by DIGSI 4
Manager must be transferred to the SIPROTEC 4 device in order to allow
communication with DIGSI 4 Device Editor.
VFD A VFD (Virtual Field Device) includes all communication objects as well
as their properties and states, used via services by a communication
partner.
