1.1
Unpacking, Repacking and Storing
Unpacking a Device
NOTE
Devices are tested prior to delivery. The test certificate is a component of the devices and can be called up
with DIGSI.
Devices are packed on site in a way that meets the requirements of standard ISO 2248.
Check the packing for external transport damage. Damaged packing may indicate that the devices
inside have also sustained damage.
Unpack devices carefully; do not use force.
Visually check the devices to ensure they are in perfect mechanical condition.
Check the enclosed accessories against the delivery note to make sure everything is complete.
Keep the packing in case the devices must be stored or transported elsewhere.
Return damaged devices to the manufacturer, stating the defect. Use the original packaging or transport
packaging that meets the requirements of standard ISO 2248.
Repacking a Device
If you store devices after incoming inspection, they must be packed in appropriate storage packaging.
If devices are to be transported, pack them in transport packing.
Put the accessories supplied and the test certificate in the packing with the device.
Storing a Device
16
Only store devices on which you have carried out an incoming inspection, thus ensuring that the
warranty remains valid. The incoming inspection is described in the Operating manual.
SIPROTEC devices must be stored in rooms, which are clean and dry. Devices or associated replacement modules must be stored at a temperature of -25 C to +55 C.
The relative humidity must be at a level where condensate and ice are prevented from forming.
Siemens recommends that you observe a restricted storage temperature range of +10C to +35C, in
order to prevent the electrolytic capacitors used in the power supply from aging prematurely.
If the device has been in storage for more than 2 years, connect it to an auxiliary voltage for 1 to 2 days.
This will cause the electrolytic capacitors to form on the printed circuit-board assemblies again.
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 met. Storage
packing of the individual devices is not adequate for transport purposes.
The lithium batteries contained in SIPROTEC devices meet all international requirements of the
hazardous goods specifications for the various carriers (Special Provision 188 of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Special Provision A45 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and the ICAO Technical Instructions). This only applies to the original battery or genuine
replacement batteries.

6.1
General
DIGSI 5 is the engineering and operating tool for all SIPROTEC 5 devices. With DIGSI 5, you create system
topologies, configure hardware and communication networks and perform many other tasks.
You carry out all engineering tasks offline from your PC without needing a SIPROTEC 5 device. You transfer
all data online to the device later for example, directly via a communication network or the USB interface.
For communication between DIGSI 5 and the SIPROTEC 5 device, secure TCP-IP connections are used.
Operation of DIGSI in version 5 is even more user-friendly. Project tree, editors, libraries and property window
are integrated smoothly into a common interface. You can adjust this interface to your operation.
Project, Project View and Project Navigation

After starting DIGSI 5; you are shown the project view. It is initially empty and fills up with content as soon as
you create a new project or open an existing one.

Testing Current and Voltage Inputs

If you click in the project tree according to Figure 7-1 on the menu item Analog inputs , a representation visualizing for you the current values of the measuring points existing in the device appears in an editor. On the
left side you will see the phasor diagram for 3-phase analog inputs (absolute value and phase). To the right
the measured values are displayed as numerical values. The primarily measured values for voltage and
current are shown as indicators of absolute value and phase. The reference is the voltage in phase A of
measuring point 1. If no voltage is connected, the current in phase A of measuring point 1 is the reference. All
indicated phasor values refer to the reference quantities.
You can identify and verify the following errors with measured-value control:
Turner in the analog wiring
Vector group
Direction between current and voltage
Devices connected via effective connections can also represent analog measuring points of remote ends as
phasors. In this case, the phasors of measuring points of up to 6 remote ends are shown. For example, the
stability of a line differential protection can thus be verified.

You can execute more tests in this mode.
Testing Protection Functions

The purpose of this test is to verify the correct setting of protection functions and the routing of signals. To do
this, you can feed the test signals with test equipment. Digital test equipment offers you multiple test
programs and test sequences.
NOTE
NOTE
Simulation mode is indicated by flashing of the top line of the device display.
If you only want to select a graphical representation of a protection function, all available and active
protection functions of your SIPROTEC 5 device are checked.
Simple tests can also be done via simulation mode on the device and DIGSI 5 interaction. To do this, use
DIGSI 5 to generate test sequences which are then executed in the device without the need for external test
equipment and which simulate the change in values on the inputs.
Click the Test sequences folder in the project tree.
Open this folder by double-clicking.
Under the Create test sequence menu item create your test sequence which, for example, consists of 3
steps: the pre-fault, the short circuit and the post-fault. You can save the created sequence and use it for
other tests. You will also find the stored sequence under the Test sequences folder. Sequences can be
copied between devices that have the same measuring points.
shows you the editor for creating test sequences. You can enter a name (for example, pre-fault, post-fault) for

Additionally you can define a ramp for each phase via amplitude, phase or frequency via the ramp functions.
You can still define 3 various harmonic superimpositions per phase. This allows the setting of ramps within
one test step. If additional binary inputs are effective, you can adjust that in the section below. Using a hook

Creating a Test Sequence
You can a use created test sequence, for example, for a protection function test. Start a test sequence in the
protection function test editor in DIGSI 5. You can also start a test sequence through a binary input of the
device. By starting through a binary input you can play back test sequences in several devices simultaneously. You lay down the start criterion for the device using DIGSI 5 . The test quantities are fed as sampled
values directly into the functions of the device by bypassing the analog and binary inputs. Before starting a
sequence DIGSI 5 switches the device to a simulation mode that activates the internal signal generator.
To check a protection function systematically, click again in the project tree the Test button and open the
Protection function test menu item. You are offered the existing protection functions and you can select which
protection function is tested. The characteristic curve of the protection function appears in the operating range
(see ). The measured values are displayed in color in the characteristic curve and the list of spontaneous indications is updated simultaneously. Feeding through a test sequence is done in this simulation mode where
the protection functions work with the calculated sampled values of the sequence. Switching to an internal
sequence is done in DIGSI 5. The designated sequence is selected (it must first have been configured
offline), loaded into the device and its progress activated.
A SIPROTEC 5 device has numerous protection and supervision functions that work in parallel. For the tests
switch some or only the function to be tested. For this purpose, a test aid that greatly simplifies the test for
you was set up in SIPROTEC 5.
The protection functions have indirectly the same setting as when you switch the mode to Test in the function.
In this state, the protection function is active. In addition, a test bit is generated and transmitted with every
indication. In the Test setting the routed relay in the device is not activated and the circuit breaker is thereby
not actuated.
Upon exiting of the test mode, the execution of an authorized test period or the conscious switching to the
normal operating state (Process mode) leads to the deactivation of the temporary settings. The original
setting then becomes active. You can also make us of this test menu to have a quick overview of available
and enabled protection functions.

7.3 Initial Startup
Procedure for checking device parameterization:

Check whether the parameterized hardware coincides with the existing devices. In the project, click
Devices and networks.
7.3.3
If you communicate via Ethernet, check the correct setting of the IP addresses simultaneously. You can
also do these checks under Device.
If the project is an IEC 61850 system, go to menu item IEC 61850 GOOSE Communication to familiarize
yourself with the respective circuitry. If you use circuiting you can view the static reports on the systems
control.
Create an overview of the settings or the routing in the individual menu items. Siemens recommends
doing this when opening the device in DIGSI.
Initializing Device and Verifying Basic Status

SIPROTEC 5 devices are initialized via the front USB interface. Alternatively, you can initialize the devices via
port J. If you connect port J to a system, you must change the previous IP address.
Connect the device to the corresponding USB interface of your computer.
In the DIGSI 5 operating program right-click the device to be initialized.
Click the Load Configuration in Device menu item.
DIGSI 5 then accepts the connection to the device and loads the complete parameterization into the device.
This process takes some time.

Display during Transfer
Once the transfer is completed, the device executes a reset and is in the startup mode. Once this status is
finished, the display image appears and the green LED (Run) lights up. The red LED (Error) must be off.
The display image contains information about the basic device type, for example, transformer protection, the
firmware version (FW), and the loaded parameterization version. In SIPROTEC 5, this is called Configuration
(CFG).
If a display image is adjusted in the parameterization, then the device switches to this display state after
several seconds. The set display image, for example, the measured-value display, should appear.
If you wish verify the loaded parameterization randomly, you can execute a check through the on-site operation panel. Log in and follow the menu. Read the user instructions in chapter 5 Using the On-Site Operation
Panel.

Alternatively, you can also verify the parameterization with DIGSI 5. To do this, activate the online mode and
establish connection to the device. Then open the settings comparison between the online device and the
offline device in the project.
During the initialization, the serial number of the device is transferred to the offline project. Alternatively you
can also enter the serial number by hand in the offline device.
7.3.4
Testing Readiness for Operation

With the execution of the points in chapter 7.3.3 Initializing Device and Verifying Basic Status, the device is
ready for operation. If devices are built into cabinets, additional wiring and communication connections are
necessary. Subsequent checks can be made in preparation for the secondary test. To do this, you can make
use of numerous test aids available in the device, which are described in chapter 7.2 Test Suite Integrated in
the Device.
Siemens recommends the following procedure in the order:
Testing binary inputs and outputs
Check the correct connection from the transmission terminal to the device and the binary inputs and
outputs as well.
96
Testing voltage and current inputs

Using multi-phase test equipment, apply the corresponding test quantities and check the results. To do
this, make use of the testing options in the device (see chapter ). In addition, you can verify the measured values directly on the device by going to the respective function group for the operational measured
values. You will find a more clearly arranged description in the DIGSI 5 operating software. You are
connected online with the device and open the menu item Measurement.
Checking communication interfaces

You can set the state of signals transferred via communication interfaces. This allows you to check, for
example, the connection to systems control. In the communication diagnosis you will find helpful information, for example, about data traffic on a communication interface.
Checking time synchronization

The device is synchronized by a maximum of 2 independent time sources. In online operation, under
Device information, click the diagnosis page for time synchronization. The delivered specific values
(UTC) of the 1st and 2nd time source (if available) are shown. The internal time of the device which
results from the time information of the active time source is likewise shown.

Secondary Tests
7.4.1
Scope of Inspection and Methodology

The secondary test objectives are:
Checking the transformer burdens, checking the transformer data of the main current and voltage transformer
Checking the routing of signals to the most varied targets (binary inputs (BI), binary outputs (BO), LEDs,
and interfaces)
Checking function charts (CFC) in the device

Checking the interactions between devices, for example, exchange of information or measured values
via interface
Checking the correct setting of protection functions and the interaction of protection functions (for
example, circuit-breaker failure protection, automatic reclosing)
Checking communication with a systems control
You can proceed in different ways depending on problem definition and test objective. To simplify the inspection effort, the application of test programs of digital test equipment is recommended. During a secondary
test, you do not have to go through all characteristic-curve points. That is the subject matter of an acceptance
test. Focus on characteristic values. These are pickup values, operate times, and the interaction between
functions as well as devices.
In this test you can also make use of integrated test functions and hence reduce the expense on test technology. Pickup values and the reaction of the protection function can be checked easily with the sequencer
(see chapter ).
WARNING
Warning of danger from secondary tests
Noncompliance with safety notes can result in death, serious injuries, or considerable material damage.
Secondary tests must only be carried out by personnel who are qualified electricians and are familiar
with the commissioning of protection systems, the operation of the system, and with safety regulations and provisions (switching, grounding, etc.).
Make sure that there are no connections to the primary system during the secondary test.
In the secondary test it is assumed that there are still no connections to the primary system. But if you do this
in the primary system, special safety conditions must be followed.
Consider that no other measurands are locked in, unless otherwise indicated.
7.4.2
Consider that the trip and close commands to the circuit breakers are interrupted, unless otherwise indicated.
Take note of the general instructions in chapter 7.5 Primary Tests.
Recommendation for Testing of Functions

Only general recommendations are given in this manual. Please refer to the respective Device manual for the
function-specific instructions to be followed. Remember also that a deviation from the expected functionality
can have its cause in an erroneous test sequence.

C53000-G5040-C003-6, Edition 11.2015

Commissioning
7.4 Secondary Tests
Testing of Protection Functions
Before checking, familiarize yourself first with the measuring principle of the protection function in the
Device manual and consider the test recommendations given in the Device manual.
Perform the tests using multi-phase test equipment since numerous protection functions require a 3phase system.
You can test most protection functions using stationary signals. Some protection functions require transient signals. Typical examples are the testing of protection reaction on power swings (power-swing
blocking in distance protection and out-of-step protection) and the transient effect on transformers. They
generate transient test files with a dynamic network calculation program or these test files are provided
by special test programs.
If setting values are offered only in percent or per unit, remember that the setting values refer only to
rated quantities of the protected object. Secondary test quantities must be converted using the transformer ratio.
Perform the tests successively. Activate only the function that you wish to test. Make use of DIGSI 5
support (see chapter ).
Since protection functions can be assigned to different protection function groups, check the interaction
between function groups as well. If you have created your own application template or modified the
delivered template, Siemens recommends that you check the interaction. The application templates
provided with the device have been tested.
Check the reaction of the protection functions via the indications in the corresponding logs. The indications in the spontaneous indication log (available in online mode), which are shown at the moment of
occurrence, are a good tool. Testing using the fault record (binary signal traces in relation to the input
variables) is also advisable for transient processes.
Check the correct routing of signals of the protection function.

Check individual protection functions in the test editor using signals from test equipment or the internal
signal generator (sequences). Examine the test sequence in the characteristic curve of the protection
function and its spontaneous indications.
Checking Function Charts (CFC)
Created logics (function charts) must be tested. A working relationship with the engineering department
is necessary for this purpose. Familiarize yourself first with the objective of the function chart. DIGSI 5
offers you a tracing function during offline operation. This allows you to verify the correct logical
sequence by loading the function chart with test sequences and following the reaction in the function
chart. Switchgear interlockings and other logic can be tested easily with it.
If the logic reacts to transient changes, you must perform dynamic tests. To do this, generate the necessary test sequences and load them into the device. You can then provide inputs or outputs for tracing in
the function chart. The exact temporal sequence of signals is then logged in a fault record during the
progress of the test sequence. This can be analyzed, for example, using SIGRA and the runtimes and
time differences analyzed. This is a very good way of checking and simultaneously documenting
behavior over time (file export in PDF format).
Checking Control Functions
98
Switching of switching devices requires that the switchgear interlockings are properly executed and that
the correct signals are fed to the logic. Perform the corresponding tests. Check the switchgear interlocking by simulating the corresponding input variables and checking the reaction on the output.
If you perform on-site control with the device, check the on-site control diagram in devices with large
display. Select the respective switching device and check the different switching operations. Check the
reaction on the outputs.
In devices with small display, select the switching device (selection via text) and execute the switching
operation as well.

7.4 Secondary Tests
7.4.3
Since measured values are also displayed apart from switching devices in the display diagram, check
the proper assignment of measured values by feeding and changing the test quantities.
Tap changer position commands and control commands for arc-suppression coils can be checked via
DIGSI 5. Check the corresponding relay outputs and feedbacks via binary inputs or communication interfaces.
Testing Interfaces in the Compound System

Besides binary inputs and outputs, communication between devices occurs via serial communication interfaces. Test instructions are hereinafter given for the following applications:
Protection Communication Between Devices

A typical application is communication between line differential protection devices. The main protection function is differential protection which requires a functioning data connection between devices. Please refer to
the Device manual for checking the Differential protection function.
A 2nd application is communication between devices by transferring binary signal and measured values (for
example, remotely from the opposite end). You generate test signals with the communication test by setting
signals to be transmitted systematically in the transmitter and checking their receipt. Please refer to the
chapter Protection Interface in the Device manual for the necessary test items.
GOOSE Communication Between Devices
GOOSE communication is possible only with the IEC 61850 protocol. Check whether the interfaces and
switches are parameterized properly. Familiarize yourself with the information that is to be transmitted via
GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event). Using external test programs such as the GOOSE
Inspector, you can automatically check all GOOSE connections configured in the SCD file. In the event of
missing connections, check the GOOSE parameterization of the transmitting device.
Communication Between Device and Control Center
Various protocols are available to you for communicating with a control center (station or network control
center). Besides DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-103, the IEC 61850 protocol has emerged as the leading protocol.
The test requires the exchange of parameterizations between the protection device and the systems and
control device. Test telegrams for the communication interfaces can be created using the editor described in
7.2.4 Creating Signals for Communication Interfaces. When setting states in the device, the corresponding
telegrams are sent via all existing systems and control protocols.
The test sequencer can be another test source (see chapter ). You can bring a protection function systematically towards pickup and release using the test sequencer. A fault record is also simultaneously created
during the process. In the systems control, check, for example, that the correct indications are coming and
the fault record was correctly received. In case of a longer sequence you can also verify the measured
values. In addition, check communication in the direction of the device. If switching commands are controlled
by the systems control, check proper execution.

General Notes
DANGER
Danger due to hazardous voltages during the operation of electric devices
Only electrically qualified personnel may work on these devices. The electrically qualified personnel
must be thoroughly familiar with pertinent safety regulations and precautionary measures as well as
the warnings in this manual.
WARNING
Warning of hazards due to improper primary trials
Noncompliance with safety notes can result in death, serious injuries, or considerable material damage.
Primary trials may be performed only by personnel who are skilled electricians and who are familiar
with the startup of protection systems, with the operation of the system and with safety regulations
and provisions (switching, grounding, etc.).
You must perform switching operations for the commissioning. The described tests require that they can be
done without danger. They were not conceived for operational checks.
You must follow pertinent safety regulations (VDE 105-100/A1, BGV A3/VBG 4).
Before starting work you must take note of 5 safety regulations:
Isolate from the power supply

CAUTION
You must ground the device at the grounding terminal before making the connections. There may be
hazardous voltages in all switching components linked to the power supply and to measurands or test
quantities. There may be hazardous voltages in the device (capacitor storage of the current supply) even
after disconnecting the supply voltage.
To reach the defined initial conditions after switching off the auxiliary voltage, wait at least 10 s before
restarting the auxiliary voltage.
Do not exceed the limiting values indicated under Technical Data of the Device manuals, even during
testing and commissioning.
DANGER
Hazardous voltages during breaks in current transformer secondary circuits
Short-circuit the secondary connections of the current transformer before the electrical lines to the
device are disconnected.
In the presence of a test switch which shorts the current transformer secondary line automatically, it is
sufficient to bring this switch to the Test position, provided you checked the short-circuiting device
beforehand.
NOTICE
Pay attention when wiring the safety cabinet to the system
Noncompliance with the safety notes will result in material damage.
Before the 1st test, wire the safety cabinet to the system. You must check the wiring of the connections to the primary system.
Test all connections, including polarity of transformers. In voltage transformers with broken-delta
winding make sure that they are not short-circuited.
Place the device under auxiliary voltage.
Establish an online connection to the device. You can verify the signals at the binary inputs under the
Test suite Wiring menu item.
Compare the entries under the binary inputs/outputs and LEDs with the system status.
Check whether signaling contacts are connected to the correct binary input.
Check the proper functioning of the voltage-transformer circuit breaker and the wiring on the corresponding binary input.
Check the correct wiring of blocking and release inputs.
Click the Binary output menu item and check the status. Apart from those in closed circuits, the contacts
are open.
To check the connection to the switching device, activate a specific binary output. Proceed very carefully
here.

NOTE
Before you perform this test, make sure that the respective system part is isolated and a switching operation can be executed safely.
Once you have activated the switching device, check the feedbacks.
In the menu, go to Test suite Analog inputs and check the voltage and current inputs. The relevant
measurands must have the value 0 in the de-energized switch position.
Using test equipment parallel to the transformers, feed stationary test quantities and check the measured values. Take note of the absolute value and phase as well as the correct phase sequence.
NOTE
If additional signals such as from a substation automation technology are coupled, perform the corresponding tests (see chapter 7.4 Secondary Tests).
Methodical Procedure for Primary Tests of Functions

The scope of primary tests depends on the type of system. To check proper system integration, various
primary tests are performed in power plant systems. The generator delivers the necessary test quantities
based on the operating mode. Please refer to the Device manual for multifunctional machine protection for
details.
The scope of inspection is much smaller in power system protection applications. It boils down to a direction
check in the broadest sense. Differential protection tends towards overfunction in the case of sensitive setting
and a wiring error. Every function can be switched in a special mode to avoid unnecessary activation of the
circuit breakers. It is ready to function but the trip command is not switched further (see Function descriptions
in the Device manual). In the desired function, switch the Mode parameter to Test. The trip signal is supplied
with a test bit. The tripping contacts in the device are not activated and hence the circuit breaker is not actuated by the protection.
If you enter these settings for the differential protection, make sure that at least one overcurrent protection is
active as backup protection. Once all preliminary measures are complete, you can begin with the actual
primary test.
First check that you can produce a non-critical switch position and that you have a specific power flow.
The possible load current must be greater than 10 % of the rated load. Avoid a maximum load.
102
Switch on the circuit breaker (for example, with synchrocheck) and check the measured values.
In the online mode open the editor Test suite Analog inputs and check whether the phasor values of
the measuring points are plausible (absolute value, phase, phase sequence).
Check the phase displacement of the current and voltage phasors with each other.
Check the operational measured values per function group.
In the Operational indications tab, check the direction indirectly via the measured values for active and
reactive power. If the power flow is to the protected object (for example, line) and an ohmic inductive
load is assumed, the active and reactive power must assume positive values. The order of magnitude of
the measured values determines the current load. If 2 protection devices are connected, both must show
the same value.
Click the Fund. comp./sym.comp. tab. You can verify the direction of rotation using positive-sequence
and negative-sequence system quantities. The negative-sequence system quantities must be 0.
If deviations arise during the tests, check the selected settings (for example, current transformer neutral
point, phase sequence, etc.) and the interface in a 2nd step.

Commissioning
7.5 Primary Tests
NOTE
Using wiring modifications switch the primary system to the de-energized state.
You can do tests specific to protection functions via the operational measured values. To do this, click the
Function meas. values tab. In a differential protection function, the differential currents must be 0 and the
corresponding restraint current available.
You get a graphical visualization if you click Test Protection function. Apart from the set characteristics, you
see the functions relevant to protection.
To be 100 % sure about the direction setting in a directional overcurrent protection, make use of the test
functionality integrated in the protection function.
7.5.3
Place the protection function in test mode by activating the binary input signal (>Test of the direction).
Analyze the indication behavior of the protection function according to the selected setting.
Deactivate the test mode by terminating the binary signal again.
With active protection you can continue the testing of the switching devices. Check the on and off
switching of the circuit breaker.
With the circuit breaker switched off, check the activation of disconnectors and the corresponding interlocking mechanisms.
Testing Measured Values During Operation

Checking the operational measured values for plausibility is a simplified test of components of the primary
system (transformer, wiring) and of secondary equipment (measured-value acquisition including measuredvalue processing). You can set a default display in the device display that also contains the measured values.
Several measured-value windows are preadjustable and can be further switched if needed. Check these
measured values for plausibility.
If you wish to check measured values more precisely, follow the device menu and navigate to the corresponding measured values.
Alternatively, you can set parameters for a function key so that directly jumping to the desired menu is
possible.
Online operation with DIGSI 5 provides a good complete overview. You will find the relevant measured values
in Measurements for the respective function group. If there is a communication connection to systems control,
measured values that the operational crew can verify are also transmitted here.

Indications
8.4.1
General
During operation, indications deliver information about operational states. These include:
Measured data
System data
Device supervisions
Device functions
Function procedures during testing and commissioning of the device
In addition, indications give an overview of important fault events after a failure in the system. All indications
are furnished with a time stamp at the time of of their occurrence.
Indications are saved in logs inside the device and are available for later analyses. The following number of
indications are saved at least in the respective buffer (depending on the scope of the indications):
Ground-fault log 100 indications
Fault log 1000 indications

User-defined log 200 indications
Operational log 2000 indications
If the maximum capacity of the user-defined log or of the operational is exhausted, the oldest entries disappear before the newest entries. If the maximum capacity of the fault log or of the ground-fault log is reached,
the number of the last fault is issued via the signal Fault log is full. During a supply-voltage failure, recorded
data are securely held by means of battery buffering or storage in the flash memory. You can read and
analyze the log from the device with DIGSI 5. The device display and navigation using keys allow you to read
and analyze the logs on site.
Indications can be output spontaneously via the communication interfaces of the device and through external
demand via general interrogation. In DIGSI 5 indications can be tracked spontaneously in online operation in
a special indication window. Indications can be made accessible to higher-level control systems through

Logs
8.4.5.1
General
Indications are saved in logs inside the device and are available for later analyses. Different logs allow categorization of indication logging based on operating states (for example, operational and fault logs) and based
on fields of application.

Managing Logs
Logs have a ring structure and are automatically managed. If the maximum capacity of a log is exhausted,
the oldest entries disappear before the newest entries. If the maximum capacity of the fault or ground-fault log
is reached, the number of the last fault is generated via the signal Fault log is full. You can route this signal in
the information routing. If indications in the information routing of DIGSI 5 are routed to a log, then they are
also saved. During a supply-voltage failure, recorded data are securely held by means of battery buffering or
storage in the flash memory. You can read and analyze the log from the device with DIGSI 5. The device
display and the navigation allow you to read and evaluate the logs on site using keys.
Configurability of Logs
The indication capacity to be recorded in configurable logs (for example, ground-fault log) is laid down in
columns of the information routing (matrix) of DIGSI 5 specifically defined for this purpose.
Procedure
118
To reach the information routing of your SIPROTEC 5 device, use the project-tree window. Access is
only through the project:

For non-configurable logs (for example, setting-history logs) scope and type of logged indications are
described separately (see following chapter about logs).
8.4.5.2
Operational Log
Operational indications are information that the device generates during operation. This includes information
about:
State of device functions
Measured data
System data
Exceeding or dropping below limiting values is output as an operational indication. Short circuits in the
network are indicated as an operational indication Fault with sequential fault number. For detailed information
about the recording of system incidents, please refer to the description of the fault log (chapter 8.4.5.3 Fault
Log). Up to 2000 indications can be stored in the log.

routing (matrix) of DIGSI 5:
Target Log Operational log column
Selected application templates and functions from the library bring with them a predefined set of operational
indications which you can adjust individually at any time.
8.4.5.3
Fault Log
Fault indications are events which arise during a fault. They are logged in the fault log with real-time stamp
and relative-time stamp (reference point: fault occurrence) . Faults are numbered consecutively in rising
order. With fault recording engaged, a corresponding fault record with the same number exists for every fault
logged in the fault log. A maximum of 128 fault logs can be stored. A maximum of 1000 indications can be
recorded in each fault log.
Fault Definition
In general, a fault is started by the raising pickup of a protection function and ends with the cleared pickup
after the trip command.
When using an automatic reclosing function, the complete reclosing cycle (successful or unsuccessful) is
preferably integrated into the fault. If evolving faults appear within reclosing cycles, the entire clearing process
is logged under one fault number even in multiple pickup cycles. Without automatic reclosing function every
pickup is also recorded as its own fault.
User-defined configuration of a fault is also possible.
NOTE
The definition of the fault is done through settings of the fault recording (see Device manual). Events are
logged in the fault log even when fault recording is switched off.
Apart from the recording of fault indications in the fault log, spontaneous display of fault indications of the last
fault on the device display is also done. You will find details about this in chapter 8.4.8 Spontaneous Fault
Display on the On-Site Operation Panel.

Selected application templates and functions from the library already bring a predefined set of operational
indications with them which you can adjust individually at any time.
The operational measured values and the measured values of the fundamental components and symmetrical
components (see Equipment Manual) are calculated every 9 cycles (at 50 Hz, this is every 180 ms).
However, this can mean that the data are not synchronized with the sampled values of the analog channels.
The recording of these measured values can be used to analyze the slowly changing processes.
8.4.5.4
Ground-Fault Log
Ground-fault indications are events which arise during a ground fault. They are logged in the ground-fault log
with real-time stamp and relative-time stamp (reference point: ground-fault occurrence) . Ground faults are
numbered consecutively in rising order. A maximum of 10 ground-fault logs are stored and for each groundfault log, it is guaranteed that at least 100 indications are recorded.
The following functions can start the logging of a ground fault with the raising ground-fault indication:
Directional sensitive ground-fault protection for deleted and isolated systems (67Ns)
Sensitive ground current protection with I0 (50Ns/51Ns)

Intermittent ground-fault protection
The logging ends with the going ground-fault indication.

All individual setting changes and the downloaded files of entire parameter sets are recorded in the log for
setting changes. This enables you to determine setting changes made are associated with events logged (for
example, faults). On the other hand, it is possible to prove with fault analyses, for example, that the current
status of all settings truly corresponds to their status at the time of the fault. Up to 200 indications can be

for new indications, the oldest indications are automatically overwritten with new incoming events. In order for
the memory to contain information about the new faults in the future, for example, after an inspection of the
system, a deletion of the log makes sense. Resetting the logs is done separately for the various logs.
134
NOTE
Before you delete the content of a log on your SIPROTEC 5 device, save the log with DIGSI 5 on the hard
disk drive of your PC.
NOTE
NOTE
Not all logs of your SIPROTEC 5 device can be deleted. These limitations apply especially to logs with
relevance for security and after-sales (security log, device-diagnosis log, setting-history log).
Upon deletion of the fault log, the associated fault records are also deleted. In addition, the meters for fault
number and fault-record number are reset to 0. In contrast, if you delete fault records, the content of the
fault log, including the allocated fault numbers, remains.

After a fault, the most important data of the last fault can be displayed automatically on the device display
without further operational measures. In SIPROTEC 5 devices, protected objects and even circuit breakers
can be freely created and configured depending on the application (even several instances). In DIGSI 5,
several spontaneous fault displays can be configured, depending on the application, with each individual one
being assigned a particular circuit breaker. These displays remain stored in the device until they are manually
confirmed or reset by LED reset.

8.4.10 Test Mode and Influence of Indications on Substation Automation Technology

If the test mode of the device or of individual functions is switched on, the SIPROTEC 5 device marks indications sent to substation automation technology station control system with an additional test bit. This test bit
makes it possible to determine that an indication was set during a test. Necessary reactions in normal operation on the basis of an indication can thus be suppressed.

8.6 Fault Recording
8.6
Fault Recording
8.6.1
General
Fault data relates to events or records that are recorded during a device fault. Sampled values of analog
measurement inputs and calculated measured values of the device are recorded in the fault recording. A fault
record can also used for recording binary events as traces. Fault events are logged with time stamp in the
fault log. A corresponding fault exists in the fault log for each recorded fault record. The unique assignment is
formed by the time stamp and the fault defined with an automatically incrementing number.
After a fault, the most important data of the fault is spontaneously shown on your device display. You can
select whether the spontaneous fault display is updated with each fault or only in case of faults with tripping
(No Trip No Flag). Spontaneous fault displays such as LEDs fall back again in case of pickup without tripping.
NOTE
Events are always logged in the fault log.

The control settings of the fault recording are described in the Device manual. The starting condition,
recording length, and the storage criterion are selected with these settings. The following chapter describes
the reading and editing of fault records.
Fault Definition
A fault is started by the incoming pickup of a protection function and ends after the trip command with the
cleared pickup.
When using an automatic reclosing function, the full reclosing cycle (successful or not) is integrated in the
fault. If evolving faults appear within reclosing cycles, the entire clearing process is logged under one fault
number even in multiple pickup cycles. Without automatic reclosing function every pickup is also recorded as
its own fault.
User-defined fault configuration and initiation by an external start signal are also possible.
NOTE
i
8.6.2
Define the extent of the fault recordings using the control settings of the Fault recording function.
Logging of events in the fault log always occurs.
Reading Fault Records

You can read out the fault record recorded in the device via the communication interfaces. You can do this
from a PC with DIGSI 5 or by way of standard (IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-103) from a central controller upon
request. The fault records read out via DIGSI 5 are saved on the PC in the COMTRADE format. You can
analyze the fault records with the analytical software SIGRA.
Procedure
Use the project-tree window to reach the fault records of your SIPROTEC 5 device.
Project Device Records
The fault records that have been loaded from the device to date are displayed with time stamps and fault
numbers.
To read all fault records stored in the device, click the Read records button in the headline of the indication list.

Deleting Fault Records

The recorded fault records are managed in a ring buffer in the device. So that new records can always be
created securely, the oldest records are deleted automatically when the maximum storage capacity is
reached.
However, you can also delete targeted fault records. This differentiates whether you wish to delete the fault
records stored or selected in the device in a DIGSI 5 project.
Deleting Fault Records via the PC with DIGSI 5
To delete the fault records stored in the device, click the Delete fault records button in the headline of
the display window (Figure 8-39 c)).
You can delete selected fault records within a DIGSI 5 project. To do this, tag the respective fault
records and right-click with the mouse. Complete the delete action with the offered Delete option.
NOTE
i
8.6.6
Recorded events of corresponding faults in the fault log are also deleted with the fault records.
Recording a Test Fault Record

For test purposes, SIPROTEC 5 devices can record fault records of fixed length. You must manually initiate
this recording from the PC via DIGSI 5. The recording length of the test fault records is independent and is
set to 1 second.
Procedure
8.6.7
To start a test fault record, click the Start fault record button in the headline of the display window
(Figure 8-39 d)). Then read the current fault records to view and analyze them from your SIPROTEC 5
device.
Configuration of Fault-Record Channels

While the Fault Recording function contains the control settings for recording data, you must configure the
channels to be recorded with DIGSI 5 in the configuration matrix. Every application template contains a
preset configuration of channels to be recorded that you can adjust individually.
Fault-Record Channels
The following values are available for fault-record channels:
Sampled values of analog measuring inputs (currents and voltages)
Internal measured values of measured value preprocessing

Internal function and operational measured values
Binary status signals (internal or external)
Fault-record channels are configured in the information routing of DIGSI 5 (matrix). The Recorder column is
provided especially for this purpose.

Configuration of the Start Criterion

The start criterion for recording a fault record and the duration of a fault record are described by the control
settings in the Fault Recording function. Please read the Fault Recording chapter in the Device manual of
your SIPROTEC 5 device.
Start Criterion
152
A start criterion is the fault which is formed by the pickups of protection functions and which also takes
account of a reclosing cycle duration during the respective parameter setting.
You can configure the start criterion for each parameter setting using your own user definitions. A
Recorder column especially provided for this purpose is then displayed in the information routing of
DIGSI 5 (matrix).

User-Defined Configuration of the Start Criterion for Fault Recording
The start criterion can also be entered via an external start signal of the Fault recording function
(>External start). With this you can, for example, initiate recording of a fault record using an
external protection device without internal fault recording in case of pickup.
A test fault record can also be initiated manually via the on-site operation panel of the device (for
example, via function key) or via DIGSI 5. For this, a freely configurable start signal (>Manual Start)
is available.

Date and Time Synchronization

The integrated date and time synchronization of your SIPROTEC 5 device allows you to assign the precise
time of events to an internally maintained device time. Events in the logs are stamped with the device time.
These time stamps are also transmitted during transmission to substation automation technology or via a
protection interface. You can synchronize the device time using external time sources. You can also take
local time zones and daylight-saving time arrangements into consideration.
8.7.2
Setting Time and Date

You can set the date and time of your SIPROTEC 5 device through the on-site operation panel as well as the

Settings Group Switching

For different applications you can save the respective function settings in so-called Settings groups, and if
necessary enable them quickly.
You can save up to 8 different settings groups in the device. In the process, only one settings group is active
at any given time. During operation, you can switch between settings groups. The source of the switchover
can be selected via a parameter.
You can switchover the settings groups via the following alternatives:
Via the on-site operation panel directly on the device
Via an online DIGSI connection to the device

Via binary inputs
Via a communication connection to the substation automation technology
The communication protocols IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, DNP or Modbus TCP can
be used for switching the settings groups.
A settings group includes all switchable settings of the device. Except for a few exceptions (for example,
general device settings such as rated frequency), all device settings can be switched.
This section assumes multiple configured settings groups, and only describes the switching process. The
function and their setting parameters are described in the chapter Settings Group Switching in the Device
manual.
Settings Group Switching via DIGSI 5
Use the project-tree window to initiate settings group switching on your SIPROTEC 5 device. Settings group
switching can be initiated both via the project (offline) and via the online access point.
NOTE
Bear in mind that the settings group in the project is switched by loading the DCF into the device. This
causes an automatic device restart (reset). If you make other functional changes at the same time, a
device restart may also occur in online mode or at the on-site operation panel. Switching without interrupting device operation may be performed only with online access.

Settings Group Switching via Binary Inputs

To switch a settings groups via binary inputs on your SIPROTEC 5 device, you first have to set the
Settings group activation setting to via binary input.
You must also have configured the binary input signals that are necessary for switching the settings group to
the contacts of your device. You will find these in DIGSI 5 under:
Project Device Information routing General >PG Selection Bit 3/Bit 2/Bit 1
100 ms after one of the 3 signals is changed (stabilization time), the signal image present will lead to a
switching to the corresponding settings group. The following table shows the possible binary codes (BCD)
and associated settings groups (PG). From the table you can also determine which input signals you have to
route depending on the number of settings groups.
Example: To ramp up the device, the parameters Number of settings groups = 4 (PG 4) >PG Selection
Bit 1, and >PG Selection Bit 2 must have been routed to binary inputs.

Settings Group Switching via Control

When using the Control function for switching, the settings groups can be switched via a communication
connection from the substation automation technology or via a CFC chart.
166

C53000-G5040-C003-6, Edition 11.2015

The communication protocols IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, DNP or Modbus TCP can be
used for switching the settings groups via a communication connection.
In order to use a CFC chart for switching, you must create a new CFC chart in DIGSI 5. Create the CFC chart
in the DIGSI 5 project tree under Name of the device Charts Add new chart. Link the signals that control
settings group switching in the CFC chart.
NOTE
The device starts in this mode after a DCF upload (offline mode) with active settings group 1. The device
is only informed of a settings group change via the substation automation technology. As long as the
substation automation technology command is pending, protection runs using the settings from active
settings group 1.
If the Control mode is changed in online mode (settings changes via DIGSI 5 or the on-site operation
panel), the device continues to run with the last active settings group. If a substation automation technology command for a settings group change is sent or the mode for settings group switching is changed,
this state ends. In the case of a device warm start, the device starts in the mode of the most recently
active settings group.

Switching Authority
The switching authority ensures that simultaneous control can be done only from one command source. For
example, you must prevent a switching command from being executed by the control center during field work.
To do this, you must set the switching authority to Local. SIPROTEC 5 recognizes the following switching
authorities:
Local
Remote/station
Remote/control center
The Remote/station switching authority level was redefined in IEC 61850. You can deactivate the switching
authority in the device. Full support for this level is ensured only in devices with the IEC 61850 protocol.
The Remote/control center switching authority is normally used as the remote switching authority. You can
change the switching authority from Local to Remote Using the top key switch. You can also set this switchover in devices without the key switch after entering the confirmation ID.

Selecting Position
For safety reasons, manual updating is possible only directly through the on-site operation panel of the
device and not through DIGSI 5.
Setting acquisition blocking and the subsequent manual updating are also possible via the IEC 61850
system interface.
Acquisition blocking can also be set via a binary input. This way, acquisition blocking can be set for an individual or several switching devices in a feeder simultaneously with an external toggle switch in order to
disable the feeder. For this purpose, every switching device in the Switch functionality (circuit breaker or
disconnector switch) has the input signal >Acquisition blocking. This signal can also be set from the
CFC.

Updating on the Switching Device
NOTE
Interlockings are carried out with the status changes of the switching device. Remove acquisition blocking
again manually. Otherwise, position changes of the switching device are not detected and interlockings
are ineffective.
If the acquisition blocking and the manually updated position are set using the operation panel of the device
or the system interface IEC 61850, these are retained until the acquisition blocking is manually deactivated.
When you initially start the device, the acquisition blocking is deactivated.
Except for a restart, the acquisition blocking and the manually updated position are retained.
If the acquisition blocking is activated via the input signal >Acquisition blocking, it is retained as long
as the binary input is active.
To set the acquisition blocking of a switching device, the following sources are possible:
Operation panel of the device
System interface IEC 61850

Input signal >Acquisition blocking
All sources undergo OR operations, that is, the acquisition blocking remains set until all the sources are deactivated.
After deactivation of the acquisition blocking, the actual position of the switching device is adopted and
displayed in the operation panel of the device.
NOTE
When the acquisition blocking is activated or the switching device updated manually while the entire
device or the switching device is in test mode, these states are not saved. The acquisition blocking and the
manual updating are not retained after a restart.
Acquisition blocking and manual update for the circuit breaker, the disconnector and the tap changer are
reset by the >Reset AcqBlk&Subst binary input. If the input is activated, setting of the acquisition blocking
and of the manual update is blocked.

8.8.10 Assignment of Authorizations with Confirmation ID

Authorization for sensitive operations in the on-site operation panel is done by the assignment of confirmation
IDs (see also chapter 10.4.2 Confirmation ID).
Figure 8-72 shows an example of a device without a key switch. For devices with key switches, the confirmation IDs are not required for non-interlocked switching and for the switching authority. These are replaced by
the corresponding key switches for non-interlocked control and for local switching authority.

Repeat Test
A routine test of characteristics or pickup values is unnecessary since these tests are part of the continuously
monitored firmware programs. As long as you make no changes in the pickup values or characteristics, a test
is not necessary.
Make use of the prescribed maintenance intervals for system checkup and maintenance. Perform an inservice test of protection and control equipment. The primary purpose of maintenance is to check the interfaces of the SIPROTEC 5 device, that is, the coupling to the system.
If you diagnose a failure, follow the instructions in the corresponding chapters for failure search or call the
manufacturer hotline.
9.1.2
Protection-Function Test
General
178
NOTE
When performing a protection-function test, make sure that it does not lead to any undesired tripping. Likewise no information must be transmitted to a higher-level systems control where the operator may incorrectly interpret it.
Make sure that the green RUN LED on the front cover lights up and not the red ERROR LED. This is
how the device indicates that it is properly functioning and that no failures have been observed during
self-monitoring.
Make sure that the LEDs on the front cover present a plausible image of the actual state of the device. If,
for example, the tripping of a protection function is saved as an LED display, the device has fault indications and a fault record for this purpose.
Press the LED test key. All LEDs apart from the red ERROR LED light up. Stored LED displays are reset
and only those states currently indicated by the device are shown.
Read the operational measured values and compare them to the actual measurands to control the
analog inputs. To do this, enter a reference quantity into the device using secondary test equipment.
This is how you check the proper operation of the analog section of devices.
Read the operational indications. You can do this directly on the device or following a clearly arranged
procedure using the DIGSI 5. Make sure that they do not contain inputs about failures of the device, of
measurands or other implausible information.
If the protection equipment has picked up or disabled an error, you can verify this through the fault
record and the fault log. This is how the protection equipment demonstrates its correct operation in the
operating state. Additional protection-function tests can be omitted.
NOTE
The system operator is responsible for further protection-function tests within maintenance intervals.
Check protection functions using secondary test equipment or the integrated test sequencer (see chapter
7 Commissioning).

9.2 Error Search and Correction
9.2
Error Search and Correction
9.2.1
Error Search
Procedure
If the device indicated an error, then Siemens recommends that you proceed as follows:
If no LED on the operation panel of the device lights up, then verify as follows:
Check whether the auxiliary voltage on the corresponding connections has an adequate amount and
correct polarity. You will find information about this in the overview plans in the appendix of the Device
manual.
If the device shows a fault via the red Error LED, look for the cause of the fault in the operational log.
You can do this directly on the device or with DIGSI 5.
If the Fallback Mode display appears in the device display, then reinitialize the device through DIGSI 5.
Look for the cause in the device-diagnosis log first. If a connection to the system cannot be established,
initialization takes place via the USB interface on the device together with DIGSI 5.
If the confirmation ID is queried, enter it for the device initialization.
The display first disappears in the device display. After successful initialization, the LEDs again indicate
normal mode and the default display goes back into the display. If the device-specific setting values were
saved in the PC during commissioning, they are again loaded into the device.
The device is ready for operation.
Additional Support
If these measures do not lead to the desired result, then call support.
The support employees will need the following information from you:
Keep the serial number of the device ready.
Read out the version of the installed firmware.
Read the device diagnosis log of your SIPROTEC 5 device with DIGSI 5 so that the support employee
has all the necessary information.
Obtain the data via the operation panel of the device or with DIGSI 5.
Find the product code and the serial number as well on the nameplate on the device housing.

Measures for Error Correction

Limit work on the hardware to the necessary extent.
NOTE
Defective modules can be replaced only by experienced persons. Never open modules yourself.
The following software measures are possible:
Initializing the system
i
9.2.3
If, for example, you would like to set a supervision function so that it becomes more insensitive since it is
responding sporadically in the operating state, change the parameterization.
NOTE
If these measures do not lead to the desired result, avoid further measures during operation.
Fallback Mode
If an error is detected in the device that cannot be cleared automatically (hardware, software, or parameters),
the device switches into fallback mode automatically. This can appear during system startup or during the
operation of the device. The fallback mode allows you a minimum procedure with error diagnosis and error
correction.
180

C53000-G5040-C003-6, Edition 11.2015

NOTE
Note that the protection and control functions are deactivated in fallback mode.
Fallback mode is evident from the termination of the life contact, the Error LED, and the Fallback mode
header in the device display. In this mode the outputs of the device are brought to their initial state. Access to
the hardware is impossible. A limited operating menu is available for further actions.
Fallback Mode
You can select various information areas and have them displayed in the Fallback mode. The reason for the
fallback are shown in the lower part of the display as an indication (1 in Figure 9-3). When selecting the
softkey <More> on the right-hand side, a list of entries is displayed that was generated during the diagnosis of
the device (2 in Figure 9-3). Use the navigation keys to select the relevant entry or use the softkey <Details>
to open the currently selected entry. You can see precise information about the fallback (3 in Figure 9-3).

Fatal Error, the Device Goes into the Fallback Mode

Certain fatal device errors lead to the device falling immediately into the fallback mode. Fatal device errors
are errors that cannot be resolved by a restart of the device. An indication displays the type of error. From
this, you can derive additional steps (for example, contacting the repair department). The device goes permanently out of operation, a failure is avoided. In fallback mode, minimal operation of the device via the on-site
operation panel and DIGSI 5 is possible. In this way you can still read information from the diagnostic log, for
example.
Life contact
Terminated in fallback mode
Red error LED
Activated in fallback mode
Group-Warning Indication
Pickup of the following supervisions with entry of the device into the fallback mode does not allow output of
normal supervision indications. The entry of the device into the fallback mode thus also does not lead to the
activation of the group warning indication.
9.2.4
Error Indicatons
If the SIPROTEC 5 device is outside a normal operating mode (for example, device in commissioning or
simulation mode), this is shown by an indication. By default this indication is prerouted to LED 16 and makes
the red LED flash.
If you have exited one of the modes incorrectly (for example, by pulling out the DIGSI 5 PC), the red LED will
flash and after 4 hours the Device Ready indication will go.
This function is realized in the SIPROTEC 5 device via a predefined CFC chart. This means that you have the
ability to change this behavior in case of doubt. To do this, change or delete the CFC chart.
Overview of Errors
For each error indication on the on-site operation panel, a specific error code is issued additionally (see
Figure 9-3 (2)). This error code is helpful for further analysis by the repair service.

Firmware and Parameter Set Update
9.4.1
General Information
You can use DIGSI 5 to update the firmware for your device. DIGSI 5 supports you in this process. No additional update tool is needed for this. After loading the firmware, you might need to upgrade a parameter set
and to initialize the device with it. When updating the firmware, use a connection with at least 1 MBit/s.
9.4.2
Firmware Update
If you wish to use new functions or if the manufacturer provides an improved version of the firmware, a firmware update is necessary. You decide whether you execute the update on the basis of the release information of the manufacturer for this firmware version. The files for the firmware update are digitally signed. This
prevents you from loading the device with any faulty files or firmware that is not suitable for the device.
If you have installed new communication modules in the SIPROTEC 5 device, check the firmware version of
the individual components. You can find up-to-date device drivers and communication protocols (*.DDD,
DIGSI Device Driver) in the Siemens download pool.
DIGSI 5 device drivers contain both the firmware and the configuration data. Both components are linked to
one another and both must be updated, if necessary.
Siemens recommends to perform the firmware update of the device on-site. If you would like to use the
remote control in order to start the firmware update, use a data line with a connection of at least 1 MBit/s.
Load the drivers (DDD) required to update your SIPROTEC 5 device from the Siemens download pool:

NOTE
i
9.5.2
Depending on the device layout, not all test functions are always available. The execution of test functions
is protected by a confirmation ID.
Switching Test Mode On and Off
Procedure
If the test mode is switched on, indications transmitted via communication interfaces are labeled with an additional test bit, provided this is supported by the protocol. With this test bit you can determine whether an indication is generated in a test and all or individual functions of the device are in the test mode. In this manner
the reactions that are necessary in the normal mode due to an indication can be suppressed in other devices
that receive these indications.
You can activate the test mode via a binary input. All functions in the device are hence in the test mode.
You can activate the test mode via a GOOSE indication from another device. This allows you, for
example, to bring several devices into the test state virtually simultaneously.
If you have activated a confirmation ID, this is queried by DIGSI 5 or the integrated control before start of
the test mode.
You can switch on the test mode via the integrated control.
You can activate the test mode via DIGSI 5. All functions go into the test mode.
You can bring selected functions into the test state. DIGSI 5 offers a test editor for this purpose.
The test editor shows you all protection functions in the device with the current states. The state of a
function is set systematically there to Test. An activated test mode is marked with a check mark in the
menu item.

10.1 Security Design
10.1
Security Design
Due to the increasing integration of bay units in Ethernet-based communication network, you must secure the
communication against internal failures and attacks from outside. The specifications published by the North
American Electric Reliability Council for critical infrastructure protection - NERC-CIP, for short - and the white
paper published by the German Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) contain requirements for the safe operation of devices in critical communications infrastructure. These requirements are
addressed to manufacturers and operators.
Security must be incorporated into the design of devices right from the start. This is implemented consistently
in SIPROTEC 5. Measures in the hardware ensure the secure use of signed files. These are provided to
protect the firmware files and data records of the device. Secure storage of key material on the device makes
secure communication between DIGSI 5 and the device possible. The following items give you a high level of
security when integrating the SIPROTEC 5 device in the network:
Protection against attacks from the network
Multi-stage safety concept in the operating state

Logging of authorized and unauthorized access
Logging of safety-critical actions
You can switch off unused Ethernet services. If, for example, the RSTP redundancy log is not being used,
you can switch it off using DIGSI 5. This gives a potential attacker no open interfaces and only utilized services are activated in a network.

10.2 Multi-Level Safety Concept
10.2
Multi-Level Safety Concept

DIGSI 5 offers many useful functions for the configuration and testing of your SIPROTEC 5 devices. Constant
password prompts are not sensible during this phase. During operation, however, the focus is on the reading
of data. Reconfiguration and switching are safety-critical operations. These operations lead to failures in operation if they are carried out inadvertently or without authorization. After completion of commissioning, you can
activate a multi-level security concept in the device.
Before DIGSI 5 can communicate with the SIPROTEC 5 device via its Ethernet services, the device carries
out secure authentication. Only DIGSI 5 has the authorization for communication with the device. In addition,
a connection password that meets the strict rules of NERC-CIP can be configured. The password is securely
stored in the device. The password must contain upper case and lower case letters, digits and special characters and must be at least 8 to 24 characters long. It is queried before connection is established. A connection to the SIPROTEC 5 device cannot be established until the correct password has been entered. You now
have read access.
All write-access rights to the SIPROTEC 5 device such as, for example, changing setting values or switching
are protected by other security prompts and confirmation IDs. If changes are done via the integrated operation, these confirmation IDs are queried on the on-site operation panel. The confirmation ID contains only
numbers that must be entered at the on-site operation panel or in DIGSI 5.
The 3-level security concept consists of secure authentication, the connection password, and other confirmation IDs. This concept provides the highest possible degree of access protection during operation. Even
remote access to devices is protected. You can also use an Ethernet module exclusively for the communication with DIGSI 5. Access by a substation control network with the unsecured IEC 61850 protocol and remote
access with DIGSI 5 are then carried out via completely separate networks. Even though the SIPROTEC 5
device communicates with DIGSI 5 via an Ethernet module, communication between DIGSI 5 and the device
is encrypted using tap-proof technology.
Wrong password entries are identified and logged. An alarm can be triggered via remote link. Safety-critical
operations are also logged and cannot be deleted in the device. All files that can be loaded into the device
such as parameter files are signed and protected against falsification from outside. If files on the PC were
manipulated by malware (e.g. viruses), they cannot be loaded into the device.

10.3 Security Settings
10.3
Security Settings
Enter the settings for each SIPROTEC 5 device by using DIGSI 5 only. The NERC-CIP-compliant connection
password is not set by default. The confirmation ID for all sensitive device actions is set according to
Table 8-8.
If you wish to create a security concept, you must change these values with DIGSI 5. Next, initialize the
devices with the new values. The connection password and confirmation IDs can only be set via DIGSI 5.
They can be initialized in the device via the following interfaces:
USB interface
Mainboard (Port J)
Communication interface
The confirmation IDs then apply for on-site operation and for operation with DIGSI 5.
You can deactivate or reset the connection password at the on-site operation panel. You can change the
connection password with DIGSI 5 by entering the old connection password and then assigning a new password.
You can change the confirmation ID via the Ethernet network. Communication is encrypted and tamperresistant.
Proceed as follows for the security settings:
Establish a direct connection from DIGSI 5 to the USB interface of the device.

10.4 Conditions
10.4
Conditions
10.4.1 Connection Password

The connection password is NERC-CIP-compliant. The password must contain lower case and upper case
letters, digits and special characters (for example, %, &, $, etc.). The connection password must be at least 8
characters long and may include a maximum of 24 characters. This rule is verified by DIGSI 5 during entry.
The connection password is not set by default. To enter a new password, the existing characters are
concealed by asterisks. You must enter the connection password twice to confirm. This confirmation prevents
erroneous entries. An empty text box is prevented. You can deactivate the query of the connection password
in DIGSI 5 under Security in the Password for secure connection section by removing the check mark.
NOTE
Deactivation of the connection password means that a user has access to the device through DIGSI 5. If
you wish to hinder this, set the connection password in the device.
Figure 10-2
Setting Window for the Connection Password and the Confirmation ID
After entering a new connection password, the password is automatically transferred to the device (an empty
text box will not be accepted). Initialization of the connection password is possible only via the front USB
interface or via an Ethernet interface.
Further access to the device after connection is possible only if you have entered the connection password in
the DIGSI 5 dialog and communication with the device has been established. This procedure prevents unauthorized access. Siemens recommends that the connection password be checked after initialization.
A connection password is not copied from one device to another device. You must enter the password in
offline mode from DIGSI 5 for every individual device of a project.
You can change the connection password online via an Ethernet connection. After entering the previous
password and entering and repeating the new password, the device accepts the change. This change is
always encrypted and tamper-resistant.
10.4.2 Confirmation ID
The confirmation ID consists of 6 digits, see Table 8-8. If DIGSI 5 is online with the device and you execute
safety-critical actions, the query also protects against undesirable actions during operation. Use only DIGSI 5
to set the confirmation IDs. After initialization of the confirmation ID with DIGSI 5, the query is saved in the
device.
Change the confirmation ID as follows.
Double-click the Security menu item in the project tree.
Click the Change button in the action column (see Figure 10-2).

10.4.3 Confirmation ID for Local/Remote Switching Authority

Set the confirmation ID for the switching authority with DIGSI 5. During operation there is no dialog in DIGSI 5
for this setting. You can change the local or remote switching authority only via the on-site operation panel.
To change the switching authority, use DIGSI 5 to enter the confirmation ID that you have to enter at the onsite operation panel.
Enter the setting with the code (local or remote position) for devices with a key switch. There is no query at
the on-site operation panel for devices with a key switch. For devices without a key switch, set the local or
remote position status in the device using a parameter. Changing this parameter requires the entry of the
confirmation ID. If the local position has been set, you cannot execute any switching operations via a substation control protocol or with DIGSI 5.
10.4.4
Confirmation ID for Non-Interlocked Switching (Interlocking Off)

NOTE
This is a very critical operation.
Enter the setting of the confirmation ID with DIGSI 5. For devices with key switch non-interlocked switching is
possible through the Interlocking Off position. If no key switch is present, there is a confirmation ID in the onsite operation panel or in DIGSI 5 before non-interlocked switching is possible. If you have entered the correct
confirmation ID, non-interlocked switching is possible.
10.4.5
Confirmation ID for Unsynchronized Switching

Enter the setting of the confirmation ID with DIGSI 5. If the device has a synchro-check function, then
querying of the confirmation ID is available. During operation unsynchronized switching is possible only if you
enter the confirmation ID through the on-site operation panel or with DIGSI 5.
10.4.6 Confirmation ID for Switching Authorization with DIGSI 5

Execute normal switching operations with the on-site operation panel (key switches and push-buttons on the
on-site operation panel) or with a control-center system with teletransmission. During device testing (commissioning) you can also execute switching with DIGSI 5, for example, to test interlocking conditions. The
requirement is that you set switching authorization with the key switch to teletransmission or on the on-site
operation panel to remote. Before unlocked or interlocked switching is possible with DIGSI 5, check the
confirmation ID. DIGSI 5 then has the approval to execute a test of switching operation.

Enter the setting of the confirmation ID with DIGSI 5. You need this confirmation ID for the following steps:
Changing setting
Executing tests (apart from switching operation, for which there are other confirmation IDs)
Resetting meters
Executing other safety-critical operations that carry out a write access to the device, for example,
deleting of fault records and logs.

10.5 Authentication, Connection Password, and Confirmation ID During Operation
10.5
Authentication, Connection Password, and Confirmation ID During

Operation
The 1st sequence between DIGSI 5 and the device is an authentication procedure in which secure codes are
exchanged between DIGSI 5 and the device. This procedure ensures that only DIGSI 5 can have technical
access to a SIPROTEC 5 device. If other applications wish to gain access without authorization, they are
blocked. If a protocol such as IEC 61850 is sent via the same Ethernet interface, this protocol is not blocked
and the specific security settings of the protocol are relevant.
If you access the 1st device online, the connection password is queried by the SIPROTEC 5 device, provided
that you have set the password within the device. Correct entries in DIGSI 5 allow you read access to the
device. Wrong entries are recorded in the security log of the device and a warning can be issued through a
contact. If you make 3 wrong entries, access to the device is blocked for several minutes. You must acknowledge other safety-relevant operations by entering the specific confirmation ID. These operations are recorded
in the device as well.
For 30 minutes a session manager in DIGSI 5 monitors all passwords and entries relevant for the identification.
If, for example, the following actions take place within this time, you need not reenter the connection password or the confirmation ID.
If you switch another device online.
If you carry out the same safety-relevant operations for the same or another device.
The session manager prevents unnecessary entries with one or more devices during an online session. If you
isolate the devices from DIGSI 5, the session manager is deleted. A connection password or a confirmation
ID is not saved on the DIGSI PC.
If you trigger safety operations with the on-site operation panel (keyboard, key switch), the same confirmation
IDs as in DIGSI 5 are used for the same activities. Enter the confirmation ID via the device keypad of the onsite operation panel. There is no connection password for the on-site operation panel.
208

C53000-G5040-C003-6, Edition 11.2015

10.6 Using Connection Passwords and Confirmation IDs
10.6
Using Connection Passwords and Confirmation IDs

Siemens recommends that the connection password and confirmation ID be kept close. This is organized in
the corresponding department of the power utility. You can assign different confirmation IDs to different user
roles for switching operations and other safety-relevant operations. Only authorized persons may have
access to this data.
The reset procedure exists for the rare case that you forgot the connection password. If the connection password query in your protection device has been activated, this means that you cannot establish a connection
to your SIPROTEC 5 device without entering the password. If the confirmation ID is also not present, you
cannot gain any write access to the device with DIGSI 5 or the on-site operation panel.
Resetting the Connection Password
Switch to the Device functions menu in the main menu of the device.
Select Reset PW in the Security menu item.
Confirm resetting of the password with the Ok softkey or cancel the operation with Exit.
Enter the confirmation ID 222222 and confirm it by pressing Enter.
Next, enter the following keyboard shortcut as recovery code:

<1>, <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>, <6>, <FN>+<1>, <FN>+<2>, <FN>+<3>, <FN>+<4>, <FN>+<5> and <FN>
+<6>
NOTE
Always press the function key and digit simultaneously.
Please note that the time-out between key operations is 1 s.
If the device is in fallback mode or if it is a device without a display, proceed as follows:
Isolate the device from the auxiliary voltage.
Remove the battery from the device.
Wait for about 2 minutes.
Insert the battery into the device.
Reconnect the device to the power supply.
The connection password is reset.

Proceed as follows if you want to deactivate the connection password on the device:
Switch to the Device functions menu in the main menu of the device.
Select Switch PW on/off in the Security menu item.
Enter the confirmation ID 222222.
Deactivate the connection password.
Using DIGSI 5 reset the confirmation ID for the offline configuration of the device as well (see 10.4.2 Confirmation ID).
For this purpose, use the DIGSI 5 dialog Have you forgotten one of the confirmation IDs or the connection password?.
The device must now be initialized with the project data that was saved with DIGSI 5 for this device.
Because the connection password was deleted and the confirmation ID reset, the project data for this device
can be transferred easily.
Repeat this procedure for all devices.
After the reset, set the connection password and the confirmation ID for the devices manually.
Initialize the connection password and the confirmation ID via the front USB interface, the mainboard
(Port J) or the communication module.
