Communication Modules
1.1 Overview – SIPROTEC 5 Devices

SIPROTEC devices can be ordered with factory-installed communication modules. The communication modules
can also be installed and replaced in the SIPROTEC devices afterwards. You do not have to open the device for
this.
NOTE
i The communication modules available for reordering are not preconfigured. Use DIGSI 5 to carry out the
functional adjustment to the required protocol application.
The communication modules can be installed in the base module or the 1/3 module and in the expansion
module with the plug-in module assembly CB202. A maximum of 2 communication modules each can be
installed. You can use only one CB202 in the device.
The plug-in module assembly CB202 is a printed circuit board assembly with an integrated power supply.
The plug-in module assembly CB202 communicates with the base module via a special connecting cable. This
connecting cable (CAT 5 FTP patch cable) is always included in the scope of delivery of the plug-in module
assembly CB202 or the devices containing the plug-in module assembly CB202 and needs not be ordered
separately.
Ensure that you route the communication lines separately from network circuits.

The following communication modules can be used for SIPROTEC 5:
• Serial modules
Application: Communication to the substation automation technology via substation-control protocols
Protection interface (only optical serial modules) for interfacing to external communication converters for
short direct connections.
2 different communication protocols or 2 different applications can be operated on serial modules with
2 connections. The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol for the substation automation technology as well as a
protection interface, for example, can be operated on a serial optical module for close range with
2 connections.
Assign the protocol application to the corresponding channel of the communication module with DIGSI 5.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
• Ethernet Modules
Application: Ethernet-based communication to the substation automation technology via substation-
control protocols (for example, IEC 61850 and DNP3)
– Secure communication to DIGSI 5
– Communication between the devices (IEC 61850-GOOSE)
– Synchrophasor protocol (IEEE C37.118 - PMU)
The modules can be operated with or without an integrated switch.
• Long-distance modules
Application: Direct protection interface communication over long distances using multimode or single-
mode optical fibers.
The designation of the modules corresponds to the following scheme, which is typically explained with the
module USART-AB-1EL. The module designation consists of 3 blocks.
1st block Type of module
USART = Serial module for short or long distance
ETH = Ethernet module
2nd block Unique code for the module in the product code of the device
The code consists of 2 letters.
3rd block Number and physical design of the connections
1 = 1 connection (1 channel)
2 = 2 connections (2 channels)
EL = Electrical connection
FO = Fiber-optic connection
LDFO = Long-distance transmission via optical fibers

1.2 Overview – SIPROTEC 5 Compact Device

USB Connections on the Front
The device can be accessed with the DIGSI 5 operating program by plugging a standard USB cable into the
USB-B socket on the front side of the base module. The complete configuration and setting of the device can
be carried out via this connection.
Integrated Interfaces on the Rear Panel of the Device

SIPROTEC 5 Compact provides a redundant Ethernet interface and an electrical serial RS485 interface on the
rear panel. For this, observe the connection plans in the SIPROTEC 5 Compact 7SX800 manual.
Integrated Serial Interface (Port E)

The integrated electrical RS485 interface can be used for serial protocol applications such as IEC 60870-5-103,
DNP3 serial, or Modbus RTU.
Integrated Redundant Ethernet Interface (Port F)

The integrated Ethernet interface is optical or electrical and can be configured with or without integrated
switch. It can be used for Ethernet-based protocol applications, for example IEC 61850, Modbus TCP, DNP3,
IEC 60870-5-104, PROFINET IO, time synchronization via SNTP, network management via SNMP, DIGSI 5 via
TCP. Several applications can run in parallel, whereby unused applications can be switched off for security
reasons.
NOTE
i The communication interfaces are not preconfigured. Use DIGSI 5 to carry out the functional adjustment to
the required protocol application.

1.4 Network Topology
1.4.1 Network Structures
The Ethernet communication modules and interface are available in both electrical and optical versions. Both
module types are provided with an integrated switch functionality. This makes it possible to integrate the
devices into almost all network structures together with third-party components.
The network structures are independent of the communication protocol (IEC 61850, DNP3,
IEC 60870-5-104, ...).
The interfaces on the devices can be used in different operating modes. A distinction is drawn between the
operating modes Line and Switch.
NOTE
i In DIGSI, the Dual Homing operating mode is known as Line.
Superordinate Network Structures

SIPROTEC devices are always incorporated into superordinate network structures. This is not the case for
connections with only a single partner.
The basic element of superordinate structures is always a so-called switch. Switches have several ports. The
connections between these ports and the ports of other network switches form the superordinate network.
Today, superordinate network structures are formed from structures based on switches that operate using
RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol). This always means that the higher level network forms a ring or a
network of such network switches. This results in a variety of possible circuits. A superordinate network is
always included in the following figures of structures.
It can be seen that a network structure always consists of a higher level network structure and the connection
to a device.
NOTE
i With RSTP, you must recall that, in the event of an error, this structure and the superordinate network
structure determine the time behavior. With Dual Homing, only the device-connection line that switches
very quickly is protected. Errors in the higher level network are always subject to the time behavior of the
network.
In the following explanations, the superordinate network structure is always shown as a simple ring. Such a
ring can conceal a structure with several superimposed rings.
Dual Homing Interface Operating Mode

If you have not set a redundancy protocol, the Dual Homing operating mode will be active. In this operating
mode, both ports of the SIPROTEC device behave like one independent port. The 1st port that detects a
connection with another network component accepts it as active and handles the entire data transmission via
that connection.
The 2nd port on the device operates on standby, that is, only the link status is monitored. If the active port
fails, the device switches to the 2nd port within a few milliseconds.
NOTE
i Keep in mind that the device or the network connection has only one MAC address, that is, only one of the
connected lines is active at any moment.
In the Dual Homing operating mode, redundant star structures (as viewed from the device) can be formed if
both device ports are connected with different ports of a network switch or with one port on each of the 2
different network switches.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
If only one port is connected with a network port, then this connection has no redundancy and has only a
single connection, just like the network connection on a PC.
The following connections are possible:
[dw_dhansc, 3, --_--]
Figure 1-5 Single Connection
[dw_SIP5-0031, 5, en_US]
Figure 1-6 Dual Homing with 2 Switches
Redundancy Protocol Interface Operating Mode

Currently, RSTP is available as a redundancy protocol. In accordance with IEEE 802.1D-2004, RSTP is then set
as the redundancy protocol.
The Switch function in the device itself establishes interconnection of the components to one another as
a ring and to the superordinate switches. This ensures that all telegrams intended for the device reach it.
Telegrams sent from the device are incorporated into the data stream on the ring.
The Redundancy Protocol interface operating mode uses both ports on the device, which must be connected
with 2 ports of a network switch or with one port each on 2 different network switches. The actual connection
is similar to that of Dual Homing. In any case, the ports of the network switches support RSTP and are linked
in the network. Only activation of RSTP at the device interfaces permits incorporation of SIPROTEC devices into
ring or mesh structures.
Switch Function (Internal Switch)

The Switch function in the device itself establishes interconnection of components to one another as a
ring and to the superordinate switches. This ensures that only telegrams intended for the device reach it.
Telegrams sent from the device are incorporated into the data stream on the ring. The following figures show
the connections. The connections of the 2 network switches show their location in the network.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
[dw_zwswpo, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-7 Redundant Connection with Different Network Switches
This figure shows the general use of the Switch function and the possibilities for connecting a device. The
redundant connection ensures connection in the event of failure of the link or of a switch. Usually, several
devices are arranged in a ring.
Interface Versions on the Modules

The interfaces of the Ethernet modules in the devices come in different versions for optical or electrical
connections. Siemens recommends using an optical fiber for longer connections (> 20 m (787.4 in)). For
physical reasons, the length of the connection between 2 switches or between a device and a switch is always
limited. The length can be increased by using several switches. For shorter connections, you can also select
electrical connections if the actual EMC is taken into account.
Single Structure
In a single structure, a ring consisting of network switches with electrical or optical connections forms the
superordinate network structure. In this case, the SIPROTEC devices are connected to the ports of the network
switch with a star connection. RSTP is not activated in the SIPROTEC devices.
The star-shaped arrangement of the connections yields a very simple structure which, however, provides no
redundancy for the connection between the device and network switch.
[dw_opring, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-8 Single Optical Ring
Redundant Star Structure (Dual Homing)

In contrast to a single structure, the devices in a redundant star structure are connected with the network via
both ports, in this case, with the ports of 2 different network switches.
In the Dual Homing operating mode, RSTP in the SIPROTEC devices is not activated/parameterized, but
there is a redundant connection between network switches and the SIPROTEC device. The redundancy of
the superordinate network is assured by the RSTP functionality there, but this does not affect the interface
function of the devices. Another redundancy procedure can also be active in the superordinate network. The
superordinate network can also be of a star shape.

Ring Structure
Ring structures are structures in which SIPROTEC devices are interconnected with devices from other manufac-
turers in a ring. The devices are incorporated into the ring structure via both ports. This yields rings consisting
of devices and network switches 3 and 4. These network switches have at least 4 ports that support RSTP.
Network switches 1 and 2 are connected with the SICAM PAS.
[dw_doprin, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-10 Ring Structure
Information is routed from participant to participant in the ring until it reaches its intended destination. If the
ring structure shown is cut at a point, a line results. Communication continues to function almost without
interruption, because network control with RSTP initiates a reconfiguration. A second fault in the line or in
one of the participants, however, cannot be overcome. Depending on the structure, keeping additional faults
under control is becoming less secure.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
You must set the RSTP parameter Bridge Priority. This requires that you set one of the 2 switches connected
with the Substation Automation System to priority 0. As a result, the switch with priority 0 is then specified as
the root switch. You must set the other switch connected with the Substation Automation System to a lower
priority. A higher numerical value means a lower priority. Siemens recommends setting this switch to 4096.
This switch serves as the backup root switch in the event that the root switch fails.
Network switches 3 and 4 always have the next-lowest priority, that is, the priority value must be set higher.
The priority for both can be the same, however.
Siemens recommends using this topology for compact systems.
Multiple-Ring Structure
Multiple-ring structures can occur in succession in larger systems.
To create a multiple-ring structure, activate and set the settings for RSTP in the devices.
[dw_2rings, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-11 Dual-Ring Structure
The figure shows the possible arrangement in such a structure. Each ring can contain several switches. Even
the SICAM PAS is incorporated via its own switches.
The structure shown represents a Garland structure: The SIPROTEC devices are connected in a line. At its
ends, this line is connected with the switches. The line of devices is called a garland. The garland structure
occurs several times in succession here.
Detailed information on the special aspects of setting the parameters for such a structure can be found in the
following chapter.
Optical and Electrical Module Interfaces

In contrast to SIPROTEC 4 devices, there is no difference between modules with an optical interface and
modules with an electrical interface in SIPROTEC 5 devices.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
NOTE
i When setting parameters, note the following:

You can select between the Line, RSTP, PRP, and HSR structures.
The PRP and HSR protocols have no additional setting values.
The PRP and HSR protocols are supported by devices of version V3.00 and higher and by DIGSI 5. If your
devices, Ethernet modules, and DIGSI 5 use an earlier version, upgrade the components.
PRP Structure
The PRP structure (Parallel Redundancy Protocol according to IEC 62439-3:2012) provides communication over
2 independent networks (LAN A and LAN B) simultaneously. As shown in the following figure, the 2 networks
may not be connected to one another. Siemens recommends building both networks identically. Connect LAN
A to channel 1 and LAN B to channel 2.
[dw_prpstr, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-12 SIPROTEC Devices Connected via 2 Independent Networks (LAN A and LAN B)
If there is an interruption in communication on network A or network B, the data exchange continues without
problems on the other network. This means that there is no interruption.
Updating the Device Configuration via Communication Modules in the PRP Structure
If the device configuration contains IEC 61850 as communication protocol, then the device is set to the
Fallback mode during the update process. The module is switched to the Line Mode communication. If the
DIGSI PC is inserted to the PRP network via a RedBox (Redundancy Box), the communication to the terminal
device continues to function in the PRP structure with the Line Mode network redundancy protocol.
NOTE
i Communication problems can occur if you insert a DIGSI PC as SAN (Single Attached Node) into a PRP
structure and a SIPROTEC 5 device goes into Fallback mode, for example, by loading the configuration
when using IEC 61850. In the Fallback mode, the devices switch over internally to Line Mode. Therefore,
Siemens recommends using a DIGSI PC in a PRP network with a RedBox (Redundancy Box).

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
HSR Structure
The devices are arranged in rings in the HSR structure (High Availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol
according to IEC 62439-3:2012) shown in the following figure. The procedure does not have its own parame-
ters.
[dw_hsrstr, 4, en_US]
Figure 1-13 SIPROTEC Devices Arranged in Rings
If an interruption in communication occurs in a network, a seamless switchover takes place. All components in
the HSR rings must support HSR.
If you want to connect non-HSR-capable devices, apply HSR RedBoxes or HSR-capable switches. For example,
if communication via Ethernet with a PC with devices in the HSR ring is to take place, the connection must be
established using a RedBox.
1.4.2 Network Structure-Dependent Parameters
RSTP needs the settings that are listed and described in the table under 10.8.2 Parameter Settings for
Networks in order to operate.
Detection of the Correct RSTP Settings

The RSTP diagnostic values can be displayed on the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) of the device and with
DIGSI 5.
Also check the role of the ports.
For further information on the diagnostic values, refer to chapter 10.13.4.7 Redundancy Protocols – RSTP .
Determining the Location of the Alternate Port

There must always be an alternate port in a ring, since such a port in a ring forms a logical cut that is necessary
to prevent continually circulating telegrams.
If the alternate port does not exist, it may still be possible to reach all devices, but there will no longer be any
redundancy. That means a line break has occurred that was already handled prior by RSTP. A break in the line
always leads to a reconfiguration and loss of the alternate port, since the alternate port must switch through
in order to bridge the break caused by an error.
The alternate port in a configuration can always be determined by querying the port roles. This is possible with
the aid of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) or, with more effort, by means of the display of the
device. Establishing the location of the alternate port depends on the number of switches in the range.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
In the simple ring structure in Figure 1-10, the situation is as follows:
• If Switch 1 is the root switch, then there are 3 rings:

– One ring consisting of Switches 1 to 4
– Two 3-device lines of SIPROTEC devices
• If Switch 1 is the root switch, the ring consisting of 4 network switches contains the ring from Switch 1 to
Switch 3 and Switch 2 and from there to Switch 4. If the priority of Switch 2 is lower than that of Switch
3, then the alternate port is set to the right port of Switch 4.
• If Switch 1 is the root switch, you obtain a 2nd ring: Switch 1 – Switch 3/Switch 2 – S11/Switch 4 –
S12/S13. This establishes the alternate port on the tie line S12/S13. If S13 has a lower priority, then the
alternate port is set to the right port of S12.
• The same holds for the 2nd ring of. SIPROTEC devices.
NOTE
i Keep in mind that the MAC address is linked to the priority. If the switches are set to the same priorities,
then the MAC address is the determining factor.
In the dual-ring structure and when the alternate port is stationary, the situation is somewhat more complex:
• The primary ring is now Switch 1 – Switch 3/Switch 2 – Switch 4/Switch 6 – Switch 5/Switch 5. If Switch 4
has a lower priority than Switch 6, then the alternate port is set to the left port on Switch 5.
• The ring with the S1x switches is slightly different. The root switch (Switch 1) has a connection to Switch
3. This is where the subring Switch 3 – S11/Switch 4 – S12/S13 begins. In this case, the alternate port is
set to one port of the connection between S12/S13. If S13 has a lower priority7 than S12, then the left
port on S13 is established as the alternate port.
• The ring with S4x is an additional example. The left port on Switch 5 is the alternate port in the primary
ring. As a result, the connection to the root bridge runs through the right port on Switch 6, yielding:
Switch 6 – Switch 5/S43 – S41/S42. The alternate port is established on the ports used for the connection
S41-S42. If S41 has a lower valence than S42, then the right port on S41 is established as the alternate
port.
Using this procedure, it is possible to determine the alternate ports for all structures and check them in the
real system.
These settings are shown in the following figure.
7 The priority consists of several components including, among others, the MAC address.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
[dw_statap, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-14 Structure with Alternate Ports
Setting the MaxAge Parameter

The MaxAge parameter is preset to 20. This setting is listed as the default setting in the Standard IEEE
Std 802.1DTM – 2004 and can be increased up to 40. The primary function of this parameter is to discard
telegrams with a greater or identical age. Aging itself is established by the number of switches passed.
The MaxAge parameter must be defined such that all switches can reach the root switch when taking this
definition into account, particularly in the case of a break in the line or device failure.
The alternate ports indicate the break points. If you consider the connections to the root switch, for example,
S23 – S22 – S21 – Switch 3 – Switch 1, then a setting of 4 suffices for the MaxAge parameter.
NOTE
i The alternate port is included in the count!
If the entire network is considered, then you must set the MaxAge parameter to 5 (Switch 1 – Switch 2 –
Switch 6 – S43 – S42 – S41). This, however, represents the steady state.
Such a state must first be established. It must be possible to reach the root switch in all interruption scenarios.
If the line from the left port on Switch 1 to the left port on Switch 2 breaks, then the alternate ports shift.
NOTE
i Switching on a device can also cause such reconfiguration effects, for example, the shifting of alternate
ports.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
[dw_ub_port, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-15 Broken Connection with Shifting of the Alternate Ports
The worst case is when the connection from the right port on S13 to Switch 4 breaks as well. In this case, the
maximum setting is 8 (Switch 1 – Switch 2 – Switch 6 – Switch 5 – Switch 4 – Switch 3 – S11 – S12 – S13).
NOTE
i The telegram age that results is 7, but since it must always be less than the MaxAge parameter, a setting of
8 is mandatory.
You can find more information on telegram age in chapter 10.8.2 Parameter Settings for Networks.
The optimum situation is thus a setting of 8.
NOTE
i It is also possible to set 20, but in the event of a root failure, RSTP telegrams can remain in the network
until they disappear because of their age. These telegrams can cause temporary interruptions.
For this reason, you should not set the MaxAge parameter any higher than necessary.
Setting the HelloTime Parameter

You can set the HelloTime parameter to 1 s or 2 s. This value sets the interval between cyclically sent RSTP
telegrams.
If you wish to achieve a fast response, set 1 s. In this way, root failure is handled quickly.
Setting Priorities
Priority settings in a network establish the location of the root bridge. Establish the location of the root bridge
such that all switches, including the SIPROTEC devices, can reach the root bridge over almost identically long
paths. Using this approach, you also achieve a minimum setting of the MaxAge parameter, as described in the
section that discusses setting the MaxAge parameter. Normally, SIPROTEC devices should not form the root
bridge.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Once the root bridge has been established, also specify a 2nd bridge as a backup root bridge in the event of
failure of the primary root bridge when the network is similar to that shown in Figure 1-14. For the MaxAge
parameter setting not to be increased unnecessarily, the backup root bridge should be in the immediate
vicinity of the primary root bridge. This results in the following: for Switch 1, a priority setting of 0; Switch 2 is
set to 4096; Switches 3 to 6 are higher, and the devices are all set to 32 768.
NOTE
i The port priorities are changed only in special cases.

1.5 Ethernet Modules
1.5.1 Ethernet Interface
Integrated Ethernet Interface (Port J)

This terminal is used to load the device with DIGSI 5 using Ethernet. This terminal also enables IEC 61850
Ethernet communication or communication with another protocol via Ethernet, for example, for connecting
an external RTD unit.

NOTE
i The IEC 61850 protocol is an option that can be ordered for Port J (integrated Ethernet interface). This
protocol is displayed only if the corresponding product feature has been purchased.
NOTE
i A client-server communication can take place via Port J (integrated Ethernet interface), for example, reports
can be transmitted.
In non-modular devices and modular devices, this interface can also support GOOSE communication as an
order option.
1.5.2 Operation of Ethernet Modules
The Ethernet modules of the SIPROTEC 5 series can be operated optionally with or without integrated switch
function. This applies for the electrical as well as the optical module. This function can be selected via the
parameterization. It is not necessary to make any indication in the order. The optical Ethernet modules are
compatible with the EN100 modules of the SIPROTEC 4 series. If the RSTP protocol or the HSR protocol is
active, the optical modules of the SIPROTEC 4 series and the SIPROTEC 5 series can be operated in a ring.
When using SIPROTEC 4 devices with module firmware ≤ V4.06 and SIPROTEC 5 devices, the maximum
allowable number of participants is 30 devices. When using SIPROTEC 4 devices with module firmware ≥ V4.07
and SIPROTEC 5 devices, the maximum allowable number of participants is 40 devices. When using SIPROTEC
5 devices, the maximum allowable number of participants is 40 devices.
Figure 1-16 shows operation of the Ethernet modules with integrated switch function. All devices of a station
are shown which are connected to one another by means of optical fibers. The devices form optical rings.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
In addition, 2 switches are used on the substation controller for the SICAM PAS. The 2 switches take the
requirements for the redundancy into account.
Additional participants with electrical interfaces can also be connected to the SICAM PAS (for example, the
DIGSI 5 control PC). An external switch is sufficient. Optical communication modules are primarily used for this
topology, as there can be substantial distances between the devices.
If the Ethernet modules are installed in expansion modules with a CB202 PCB assembly, the power supply can
be provided with an independent battery. The integrated switch can maintain its function when the device is
switched off. The data are transmitted in optical and electric rings. This prevents opening of the ring. The ring
continues to operate when 1 or more devices are switched off.
[dw_eth1sw, 2, en_US]
Figure 1-16 Operation of Ethernet Modules with an Integrated Switch Function
Figure 1-17 shows the operating mode without integrated switch function. Optionally, the 2nd connection
can be connected to the 2nd switch. This connection is shown with a dashed line in Figure 1-17. The IP
communication is established using the 1st connection here. If this connection fails, the system changes
over to the 2nd connection within a few milliseconds. The IP connection is retained practically without
interruption using the 2nd switch. This hot-standby connection redundancy increases the availability in such
configurations, as shown in the following figure. The information on failure of the protection connection is
transmitted to the substation automation technology.

1.6 Serial Modules for Short Distances
1.6.1 Unique Features of the Serial Electrical Modules
The serial electrical modules are equipped with RJ45 connections. These are not Ethernet connections. The
serial signals of the RS485 interface are routed to the RJ45 connections (see following figure).
[dw_rj45pb, 1, en_US]
Figure 1-18 RJ45 Terminals for the Serial Signals of the RS485 Interface
Cabling Examples of Devices with Serial Electrical Modules

Serial electrical RS485 connections of devices in the SIPROTEC 5 series can be cabled with low-cost Ethernet
patch cables. Special bus cables and adaptors are not needed. Pay attention to the following note if you
include devices from the SIPROTEC 4 series in the connection.
NOTE
i The RS485 interface in devices of the SIPROTEC 4 series is a D-Sub 9 connection with a connected load
resistor.
If you connect devices from the SIPROTEC 5 series with devices from the SIPROTEC 4 series, then use an
Y adaptor with the order designation 7XV5103-2BA00. Complete the connection on the last device with a
load resistor. For the SIPROTEC 5 device, use a load resistor with the order designation RS485 terminator
7XV5103-5BA00.

Reorder
When reordering serial communication modules, specify the product code for the physical version of the
module. The order configurator (IPC configurator) shows you which applications are capable of running on the
module:
• Serial
• 1-channel or 2-channel
• Electrical or optical
Serial Optical Fiber Communication Modules

For the connector polish types of the ST and LC connector types for multimode and singlemode optical fiber
connections, Siemens recommends:
• Flat fiber connector (Flat)
• PC fiber connector (Physical Contact)
• UPC fiber connector (Ultra Physical Contact)

For wide-range transmission optical fiber applications, the specified wavelength of the optical fiber cable must
match that of the wide-range transmission module (1310 nm or 1550 nm). Operation with other wavelengths
than specified may result in higher attenuation and thus lower achievable distances.

You can add or delete IP interfaces in DIGSI 5 by clicking the button Add Interface or the button Delete Inter-
face.
The IP interface 1 cannot be deleted. The maximum number of IP interfaces is 3.
Each IP interface can be configured independently. The IP interfaces must belong to separate, non-overlapping
IP subnetworks (determined by the IP address and subnet mask). If you have set the parameter VLAN Mode to
Tagged, each IP interface must have a separate VLAN ID.
Regarding the settings of Use VLAN tag and VLAN Mode for multiple IP interfaces, only the following
combinations are permitted:
• The parameter Use VLAN tag is unmarked for only 1 IP interface. For the other IP interfaces, the
parameter VLAN Mode is set to Tagged.
• The parameter Use VLAN tag is marked and the parameter VLAN Mode is set to Tagged for all IP
interfaces.
• The parameter Use VLAN tag is marked for all IP interfaces. The parameter VLAN Mode is set to
Priority-tagged for only 1 IP interface and is set to Tagged for the other IP interfaces.
Static IP Route Settings

The communication module can communicate with different remote networks via multiple next-hop routers
with the help of static IP routes.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
The following figure shows an example of the IP route application:

Figure 1-40 Setting the IEC 61850 Protocol in the Ethernet Communication Module with Other Communi-
cation Protocols
Restrictions for DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, and Modbus TCP

The following restrictions are recommended for DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, and Modbus TCP:
• IEC 61850 clients: A maximum of 2 clients communicate with the SIPROTEC 5 device at one time.
• GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event): A maximum of 5 GOOSE applications/datasets per
device, with 50 data objects in total. Set the Minimum monitoring time to ≥ 10 ms and use
the standard settings of the communication profile PriorityLow in the GOOSE parameters of the
IEC 61850 GOOSE application.
These recommendations are not binding. For example, you can configure more GOOSE applications with more
data objects as source and destination and download them into the device. A higher GOOSE load can lead to a
delayed transmission.
1.9.5 Mapping Selection
A mapping file contains prioritized indications, measured values, and commands.

At least one standard mapping is supplied for the protocol.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Selecting the protocols defines which mappings are available. You can select the mapping separately. The
routings defined in the mapping are displayed in the Communication Mapping working area for each
channel.
Routings in the communication matrix are also possible without selecting an existing mapping file.

1.10 Adapting Mappings
1.10.1 Description
You can copy mappings within a device to other channels.

The prerouted signals are displayed in the Communication Mapping working area.
You can change the mapping on a channel with the following options:
• Routing additional signals by highlighting in the Receive or Transmit column and entering the protocol
parameters
• Deleting existing mapping entries
• Changing the protocol addressing

You can route all information which is not dimmed in the operating range Communication Mapping to the
protocol. The routing of some typical data types is explained in more detail below:
All data types can be routed to the protocols.
1.10.2 Mapping of Data Types
Indications
The indications are routed by highlighting the object in the Transmit column. Indications are information
transmitted to a master. After this, you must enter the parameters required for the protocol.
You can route the following IEC 61850 data types to indications (binary inputs):
IEC 60870-5-104
IEC 60870-5-103
PROFINET IO
Data Type
Modbus
DNP3
SPS (Single-point status – single-point indication) X X X X X
DPS (Double point status – double-point indication) X X X X X
ACD (Directional protection activation information) X X X X X
ACT (Protection-activation information) X X X X X
ENS (Enumerated Status, for example, mode) X X X X X
BSC (Binary controlled step position information) – X X – X
INS (Integer status value) – X – – –
You can map data types ACD, ACT, and ENS to SPS indications only via conversions. Conversions are used to
map individual information contained in the data types. This partial information is automatically provided by
the system; you do not have to convert it yourself.
Commands
You route the commands by highlighting in the Receive column.
You can route the following IEC 61850 data types to commands (binary outputs):

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 60870-5-104
IEC 60870-5-103
PROFINET IO
Data Type
Modbus
DNP3
SPC (Single Point Control) X X X X X
DPC (Double Point Control) X X X X X
BSC (Binary controlled step position information) – X X – X
APC (Controllable analog set point information) – X X – X
ENC (Controllable enumerated status) – – – X –
INC (Controllable integer status) – X – – –
If a command status signal should be mapped or if it is preset through the control model, the status signal
from the command will be parameterized in the same line under the Transmit column.
Supported Control Models

The SIPROTEC 5 device supports the control models (according to IEC 61850):
• Direct with normal security
• SBO (Select before operate) with normal security
• Direct with enhanced security
• SBO with enhanced security
NOTE
i In the case of commands, the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol and PROFINET IO allow only direct switching.
Selection is not possible before switching. However, the protocol firmware simulates this cycle (select –
operate) internally.
In the case of negative acknowledgment of a command, the reason for the negative acknowledgment
cannot be distinguished. The possible reasons are listed in the following:
• Select negative
• Operate negative
• Other interlocking conditions in effect
Measured Values
The measured values are routed by highlighting the object in the Transmit column. After this, you must enter
the parameters required for the protocol.
You can route the following IEC 61850 data types to measured values:
IEC 60870-5-104
IEC 60870-5-103
PROFINET IO
Modbus TCP
Data Type
DNP3
DEL (phase-to-phase related measured values of a 3-phase system) X X X X X

MV (measured value) X X X X X
WYE (phase-to-ground related measured values of a 3-phase system) X X X X X
You can map data types DEL and WYE to MV measured values only via conversions.

Figure 1-43 Mapping of Indications, Commands, and Measured Values
Setting the Measured-Value Threshold

When processing measured values via the protocol, there are measured-value thresholds that you can set.
The measured-value threshold for the individual measured values is not set in the communication matrix but
centrally in the routing matrix. The following thresholds are preset:
Measured-Value Threshold Setting Value
Deadband for values of the type frequencies: 0.1 %
(Neutral zone for values of the type frequencies)
Deadband for values of the type voltages: 2%
(Neutral zone for values of the type voltages)
Deadband for values of the type currents: 10 %
(Neutral zone for values of the type currents)
Deadband for values of the type power: 10 %
(Neutral zone for values of the type power)
Deadband for values of the type all others: 10 %
(Neutral zone for values of the type all others)
Deadband angle (dbAng) for values of all types: 1%
(Neutral zone angle (dbAng) for values of all types)
This setting value applies to the current measured value. If, for instance, the measured value is 110 kV and
the default setting is 2 %, then the measured value will be transmitted in the event that the measured values
changes by 2.2 kV.
Changes in the current value are compared with the value most recently transmitted and entered in an
absolute summation, that is, regardless of whether the changes are positive or negative. If this sum violates a
set threshold value that is value-dependent, the current measured value at that time is transmitted.
NOTE
i All measured values are primary values. The unit for current is A or kA, the unit for voltage is kV, and the
unit for apparent power is MVA or kVA, depending on the transformer values or rated values.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Counter Values
The counter values are routed by highlighting the object in the Send transmit column.
IEC 60870-5-104
IEC 60870-5-103
PROFINET IO
Data Type
Modbus
DNP3
BCR (Binary Counter Reading) X X X X X
NOTE
i For pulse counters, only the generated pulses are transmitted. The multiplier that can be set in DIGSI is not
taken into account. This can lead to deviations between the transmitted value and the value displayed in
the device.
Exemplary Calculations
The scaling of a power meter is defined by the following values:
60 000 pulses per hour correspond to V = Vprim and I = Iprim.
Vprim = Rated voltage
Iprim = Rated current
The measured performance value is calculated based on the following formula:
[fo_leismw, 2, en_US]
In the SIPROTEC 5 device, this measured performance value is stated from 0.00 MW to 9.99 MW, that is with
2 relevant decimal places.
Siemens recommends a scaling factor of 100 for the transmission as an integer measured value through
DNP3. With this, a value from 0 to 999 is transferred to the master.
If the scaling factor is less than 100, then important information about the decimal places is lost during
the transmission. A scaling factor larger than 100 does not create any precise information. The accuracy is
only simulated, but really non-existent. Thus, with a scaling factor of 100, there is an interpretation of the
integer measured value (measured value Integer) through DNP3 with: ±32 768. This corresponds to a value of
±327.68 MW.
IEC 60870-5-103
Counter values, for example, kWh, are not defined in the IEC 60870-5-103 standard; consequently, there is no
compatible data unit for transmission of the metered values. However, some SIPROTEC devices offer the ability
to transmit metered values on the basis of IEC 60870-5-103. Private data unit 205 has been defined for this
purpose. Metered values are transmitted as spontaneous indications. Each telegram contains a metered value
with its own function type and information number.
IEC 60870-5-104
You can use counter interrogation commands to interrogate the integrated total. SIPROTEC 5 supports TI
<101> with the functionality Reset. You can interrogate the integrated total with interrogation group 1 to
interrogation group 4 and the general interrogation counter. You can reset the counter values with general
interrogation counters as well as the interrogation group 1 to interrogation group 4. The interrogated inte-
grated total is transmitted with Cause of Transmission <37> to <41>.
You can find additional information on Cause of Transmission in the standard IEC 60870-5-101, chapter 7.2.3.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
1.10.3 Transmission Buffer
The protocols IEC 60870-5-103, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP, and Modbus RTU support the transmis-
sion-buffer feature with the following characteristics:
• The transmission buffer is a ring buffer.
• If the buffer overflows, the current entry overwrites the earliest entry.
• If all the supported event types for the indication (for example, SPS, DPS, ACD, ACT, ENS, or BSC) are
mapped to the communication protocol, they are used in the transmission buffer.
• When the object value changes, it is stored in the transmission buffer with a time stamp.
• After the device initialization or reboot, the transmission buffer is empty and then the startup values of
the objects are entered in the transmission buffer.
• If the communication fails, the transmission buffer is not erased. Once the communication connection is
re-established, entries are still saved and the protocol master reads the entries. If necessary, the buffer
overflow is indicated.
• Once the buffer has been transmitted to the master, the transmitted transmission-buffer entries are
deleted from the transmission buffer.
NOTE
i For more information on the SOE properties, refer to the Modbus protocol in5.2.2 Properties of the
Sequence of Event.
1.10.4 Columns in the Communication Mapping Matrix
All protocols, except IEC 61850, have a communication address you can configure in the Communication

Receive You can route the input indications and commands in the receive direction in this
column.
Transmit You can route the output indications and measured values in the transmit direction in
this column.
IEC 60870-5-103
These columns are available only for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. The columns are not available if this
protocol is not configured.
Function type Enter the number of a function type for a signal that has been routed in this column.
The function type identifies the functionality of a device. Certain numbers are not
used. You can use these numbers as you like, without affecting the IEC 60870-5-103
compatibility.
Information number Enter an information number for a signal that has been routed in this column.
The information number describes the signal category (Indication, metered value or
command).
Data unit Enter the number of a data unit (DU) for a signal that has been routed in this column.
Depending on the signal type, you can select from different data units.
General interrogation Specify in this column for an indication that has been routed, whether it is subject to
general interrogation or not. You can select between Yes or No. If you select Yes, the
indication is additionally transmitted only within the scope of a general interrogation.
Position Specify in this column the position in the measured value telegram for a measured
value that has been routed. In a 3-frame DU, you can route up to 4 measured values.
In a 9-frame DU, you can route up to 16 measured values. In total, you can route one
3-frame DU and two 9-frame DU.
Fault channel In this column, you can route a measured value that has been routed to the analog
channel of a fault record. Enter the number of the fault-record channel for this
purpose.
IEC 60870-5-104
These columns are available only for the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The columns are not available if this
protocol is not configured.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Element Explanation
Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU
These columns are available only for the Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU protocols. The columns are not
available if this protocol is not configured.
Register type In this column, you can specify the Register type. It describes the function code to
retrieve the data of the signal.
Register address Enter a register address for a signal that has been routed in this column. The register
address has a certain range for different signal categories.
Event of Protection You can specify in this column whether an indication that has been routed is subject
to an Event of Protection or not.
PROFINET IO
These columns are available only for the PROFINET IO protocol. The columns are not available if this protocol
is not configured.
Value In this column, you can specify the address for a signal that has been routed. The
address has a certain range for different signal categories.
DNP3
These columns are available only for the DNP3 protocol. The columns are not available if this protocol is not
configured.
Index Enter an index number ranging from 1 to 1,000 for a signal that has been routed in
this column.
Class Assign one of 3 classes to a signal that has been routed in this column. The class 1 is
reserved for critical events. You can assign the class 2 or 3 to the less critical events.
Threshold Enter a measured-value threshold in percent for a measured value that has been
routed in this column.
The measured-value threshold determines the transmission frequency of measured
values. If you select the value zero for the measured-value threshold, each measured
value is transmitted to the superordinate station.
A value of 1 is used to avoid a communication overload. A measured-value threshold
other than zero causes all changes of new measured values compared to the meas-
ured value transmitted last to be added. If the sum of the changes reaches the
percent value set, a new measured value is transmitted at the next possible point in
time. This measure prevents loading the communication path too much.
Protection-Data Communication Protocol
These columns are available only for the protection-data communication protocol. The columns are not
available if this protocol is not configured.
Priority level Select one of 3 priority levels for a signal that has been routed in this column. The
priority level decides on how often it is transmitted.
Bit position Set a bit position in the data bar for each signal that has been routed in this column.
Note that some signal types need more than one bit. Also take care to ensure that a
bit position is not already assigned to a signal of another device.
Fallback value Select a fallback value for a received signal in this column. The fallback value decides
what passes with the value of a signal if the connection is interrupted. Depending on
the signal type, various fallback values can be selected. For example, the signal value
can be set to a secure status or the last value received is retained.
IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3
These columns are available only for the IEC 60870-5-103 and DNP3 protocols. The columns are not avail-
able if none of these protocols is configured.
Object group Enter the number of an object group for a parameter that has been routed in this
column.
Scaling factor Enter a value for the measured scaling for a measured value that has been routed in
this column.

Busbar-Protection Protocol
This column is only available for the busbar-protection bay units with busbar-protection protocol.
Transmit This column shows the fixed default settings for the routings for current measured
values and switch positions that are necessary for the busbar protection.
Columns for IEC 60870-5-104
NOTE
i The Event of Protection column in the communication mapping only affects the types SPS and DPS:
• 0: SPS is mapped to TI <30>, and DPS is mapped to TI <31>.
• 1: ACT and ACD are mapped to TI <38>.
Columns for IEC 60870-5-103
NOTE
i The function type 242 cannot be used. This function type is used for device-internal information, for
example, if the indication for the trigger event of the fault record has the function type Function-
Type:242/InfoNumber1 RcdTrg.
1.10.5 Parameterization of Fault Records
Fault records are routed in the information routing. The analog and binary signals routed there are displayed
in the communication matrix.
Highlight the Signal object in the information routing matrix.

[sc_fltrecpar_T104, 2, en_US]
Figure 1-44 Parameterization of Fault Records
NOTE
i If the fault record for the serial protocol is selected, Siemens recommends 5 seconds as the setting for the
maximum length of a fault (default setting in device). If the fault record is longer, the connection to the
device could be broken because large data volumes have to be transferred serially. This constraint does not
apply for Ethernet protocols.
IEC 60870-5-103
You make a selection for IEC 60870-5-103 from the analog signals by entering the channel numbers for the
individual signals in the communication matrix. Using this channel number in a compatible range or in a
Siemens-specific extension, the fault record is transmitted to a substation control unit. The sampling rate is 1
kHz.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
The protocol requires additional settings. Sampled values as well as measured values can be routed and trans-
mitted. For binary signals, the function type and information number must be entered in the communication
matrix as well. All routed information is identified in the communication matrix by an X in the Recorder
column. If this information is also to be transmitted via the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol for fault records, then
you must specify the fault channel for the analog channels (Enter values column in DIGSI 5).
NOTE
i With connection to SICAM PAS, the channel number 108 is reserved and must not be assigned here.
A maximum of 8 fault records can be prepared in the device for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. Since a
larger number is stored internally in the device, only the most recent fault records are prepared for the
IEC 60870-5-103 protocol in the device.

For the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol, the most recent 8 fault records are prepared in the communication module.
1.10.6 Copying Mappings
Once created, mappings can be copied to another channel on which the protocol also runs and also trans-
ferred to another device.

Figure 1-48 Changed Mapping
You can also copy the changed mappings between the channels, but you cannot save a changed mapping in
the DIGSI 5 library again and then select it for another channel.
NOTE
i When copying to a different device, only the mappings are copied for which the same function groups/
functions/function blocks exist in the source and target device.
The mapping must match the application template of the device when copying to another device. The
devices must be of the same type.
1.10.7 Exporting Mappings
Once created, mappings can be exported to a data file. The master/client configuration software can be
configured using this export.
The Siemens parameterization software for SICAM PAS systems control can import this file directly.
To export a device mapping file, select the device and click the Project menu. Then select the menu item
Export. The Export dialog appears.
You can select from the following data formats for the export:
• Device-dependent data formats, for example, TEAX, DEX5
• Protocol-dependent data formats

For every protocol for which parameters are set, there is an own XML format with the appropriate file
extension DigT103, DigDNP, DigT104, and DigMod.
Finally, click Export.

1.11 Time Synchronization

In order to allow the correct time recording of events synchronously, SIPROTEC 5 devices need a time
synchronization.
Setting the Time Source

Parameters for 2 main clocks can be set in a SIPROTEC 5 device. If a communication protocol with time
synchronization possibilities is available in a device, then the time sources can be configured as desired.
Make the time synchronization settings in DIGSI 5 in the Time Settings section in the Parameters category.
[sc_time_synchronization_sources, 3, en_US]
Figure 1-50 Setting Possibilities for the Time Sources
Set the time sources for the parameters Time source 1 and Time source 2. If the protocol is parameter-
ized for a number of channels in the device, you can select this protocol for both sources.
Time source 1 is preferred over Time source 2. If Time source 1 is synchronized for a time longer
than specified via the parameter Fault indication after, this time source remains the active synchroni-
zation source.
You can select 2 time sources independent of each other for each SIPROTEC 5 device in the time settings.
Depending on the device and communication configuration, you have the following selection options:

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Time Source Description

None An external time source is not configured. The time component inside the device
takes on the time synchronization.
IRIG B An external IRIG-B receiver connected to port G takes on the time synchronization.
This time source is always available for selection, independent of the device and
communication configuration.
SIPROTEC 5 devices support several protocol variants of the IRIG-B standards:
• IRIG-B 002(003)
The control function bits of the signal are not occupied. The missing year is
formed from the current device time. In this case, it is possible to set the year via
the online access in DIGSI 5.
• IRIG-B 006(007)
The bits for the calendar year are not equal to 00. The calendar year is set
automatically by the time protocol.
• IRIG-B 005(004) with extension according to IEEE C37.118-2005
If in the time signal, other control function bits are occupied in addition to the
calendar year, then the SIPROTEC 5 device takes the additional information into
consideration for leap seconds, daylight saving time, time offset (zone, daylight
saving time), and time accuracy.
DCF77 An external DCF 77 receiver connected to port G takes on the time synchronization.
DCF 77 is only available in central Europe.
PI/Adv. PI Inside a protection topology, one of the devices involved can take on time synchro-
nization as a timing master. The time synchronization is done via the protection
connections and the configured protection interfaces of the SIPROTEC 5 devices.
Signal runtimes of the protection communication are calculated automatically.
This time source is only available for selection under the following prerequisites:
• In the SIPROTEC 5 device, at least 1 communication channel is configured as a

protection interface.
• The SIPROTEC 5 device is not the timing master. This prerequisite is met if the
parameter Local device is device in the group Device Combination Settings
has a value that is not 1 (value 1 is the index of the timing master).
SNTP The time synchronization is done via the Ethernet-based SNTP (Simple Network Time
Protocol), for example with IEC 61850 stations. You can address 2 timers independent
of each other in the group SNTP Settings, which feed their time signals into the
Ethernet network.
SIPROTEC 5 devices support both Edition 1 and Edition 2 in accordance with
IEC 61850-7-2. In Edition 2, the logical attributes LeapSecondsKnown, ClockFailure,
ClockNotSynchronized, and the value TimeAccuracy are maintained in each time
stamp. In Edition 1, these signals contain default values. Thus, the interoperability for
station-control technologies is ensured for both editions.
The SNTP service must be activated in the configuration of the Ethernet interface
in the group Ethernet Module – Channel x Settings, so that this service can be
selected as a time source.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Time Source Description

IEEE 1588 For time synchronization via Ethernet systems, you can use the protocol IEEE 1588.
In this case, besides the clocks, all other power-system components must also support
IEEE 1588, for example, switches as transparent clock (TC) or boundary clock (BC).
There must be a timing master in the system. If there are several timing masters in the
system, the actual master is set according to the IEEE 1588 best-master-clock (BMC)
algorithm.
The actual timing master transmits the time to the receivers using Ethernet multicast.
The SIPROTEC 5 device can be syntonized or synchronized by the master clock. The
SIPROTEC 5 device can operate as Ordinary Clock Slave Only (OCSO), Peer-to-Peer
Transparent Clock (P2P TC), or OC Slave Only and P2P Transparent Clock (OCSO
and P2P TC) while the IEEE 1588 option is activated. The 2 clocks types P2P TC and
OCSO and P2P TC, can only be configured on the modules ETH ‑BA‑2EL (Rev. 2),
ETH‑BB‑2FO (Rev. 2), and ETH‑BD‑2FO. The SIPROTEC 5 device does not support the
PTP frames with the VLAN tag.
SIPROTEC 5 devices with an ETH-BD-2FO module can operate also as a Ordinary Clock
Grandmaster Capable (OCGC) or Ordinary Clock Grandmaster Capable and P2P
Transparent Clock (OCGC and P2P TC) to synchronize other OCSO or OCSO and P2P
TC.
IEC 60870-5-103 The time is synchronized via telegram with an appropriately configured communica-
tion interface in accordance with the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol.
IEC 60870-5-104 The time is synchronized via telegram with an appropriately configured communica-
tion interface in accordance with the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol.
DNP3 The time is synchronized via telegram with the appropriately configured communica-
tion interface in accordance with the DNP 3 protocol.
SIPROTEC 5 devices support 2 instances:
• Time synchronization via UTC

• Time synchronization with local time
The daylight saving time status is not transmitted. The device assumes that the
DNP3 master follows the same rules for the start and end of the daylight saving
time as those that were set for the device.
Time sync. error Indication

If both timing masters (Time Source 1 and Time Source 2) are not available or receivable anymore, the
synchronization does not take place anymore. After expiration of a set supervision time (parameter Fault
indication after), the device indicates a time-synchronization failure (Clock not synchronized indica-
tion). From this point in time, the status Clock failure is set in the time stamp of all indications. The bit Clock
not synchronized in the Standard IEC 61850-7-2 is set in the time stamp of the data object.
You can also set the time source on the device using Device Function > Date and Time.
To compare signal runtimes you can define a delay for each time source, which is added to the times received.
Setting the Time Zone

In the protocol, there is the possibility of executing time synchronization with local time or with UTC. The
selection occurs in DIGSI 5 with the parameters designated for this.
NOTE
i If a time zone for time synchronization is already preset for the communication protocol, for example,
DNP3 or IEC 60870-5-104, the time zone of the time source must be identical.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
[sc_timezone, 2, en_US]
Figure 1-51 Setting the Time Zone
You can specify separately for each time source, whether their time zone corresponds to universal time (UTC)
or to the time zone of the device.
The internal device time is maintained in universal time (UTC). To display time stamps, you can define the
local time zone of the SIPROTEC 5 device including the applicable rules for the daylight saving time. This
allows the display of the local time.
NOTE
i During parameterization, the time in the parameter Fault indication after must be greater than
the synchronization interval of the master. If the parameter Fault indication after is set to 60 s,
the device switches to Time source 2 if no synchronization telegram has been received from Time source
1 for more than 60 s. If Time source 2 is not set or the last telegram from Time source 2 was received
longer ago than the time set under Fault indication after, the indication Time sync. error is
issued. In addition, all time stamps are marked with the flag Clock not synchronized.
Accuracy
The accuracy of the time synchronization of the communication protocols (IEC 60870-5-103,
IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, DNP) is less than 5 ms. The achieved accuracy depends on the master station.
NOTE
i If you require a more accurate time synchronization, perform the time synchronization via DCF/IRIG-B or
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) and IEEE 1588. A higher accuracy of 1 ms to 2 ms can be reached by
using another network-time server.
Indication Synchronization Error

A time master must be present in the network. If a time master is no longer present or cannot be received
anymore, the time is no longer synchronized. With the parameter Fault indication after, you set the
monitoring time. When this monitoring time has elapsed, the device reports a failure of time synchronization

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
(Time sync. error). From this moment on, the status Clock not synchronized is set in the time stamp of all
indications.
This time fault remains until a new time-synchronization telegram is received.
You can find more information in chapter 2.6.8 Device Time.

2.1 Introduction
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Use in SIPROTEC 5 Devices
The IEC 61850 protocol is implemented on an Ethernet module. This Ethernet module can be inserted into
module slots E, F, N, and P. In contrast to SIPROTEC 4, several Ethernet modules can be accommodated
in one SIPROTEC 5 device. This permits communication between the client and the server for substation
automation via the IEC 61850 MMS protocol (MMS – Manufacturing Message Specification) in one module.
Cross communication between devices takes place on a second module via GOOSE messages (GOOSE –
Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event). As an option, different networks can be used for communication.
Besides, via IEC 61850 GOOSE, a SIPROTEC 5 device can communicate with an AI unit which supports GOOSE,
such as 7XV5674-0KK00-2AA1, 7XV5674-0KK30-2AA1, and 7XV5674-0KK40-2AA1.
NOTE
i You can also use a network like for SIPROTEC 4.
The Ethernet modules come with 2 RJ45 connectors or with 2 duplex-LC interfaces for a 1300-nm fiber-optic
connection. The physical interface is always duplicated to permit redundant networks. The Ethernet modules
each have 1 IP address.
You can find more detailed information on ring structures in chapter 1.4.1 Network Structures .
You can use DIGSI 5 to set the IEC 61850 protocol for the Ethernet module. DIGSI 5 is also used to make
all necessary network settings. Various editors are available for the different protocol services listed in the
IEC 61850 Standard. The IEC 61850 object image of a device can be configured flexibly to meet your require-
ments.
SIPROTEC 5 devices support the Editions 1 and 2 of IEC 61850. To provide complete compatibility with existing
Edition 1 devices, you can use DIGSI 5 to switch the IEC 61850 server of the device to the Edition 1 mode. The
IEC 61850 server then operates together with Edition 1 clients and exchanges GOOSE messages with Edition 1
devices.
Edition 2 supplies the following benefits, among others:
• Correction and clarity in the event of misunderstandings and interoperability problems that are docu-
mented in the Tissue database.
• Functional extensions in the engineering process, especially when exchanging configuration data
between system configuration tools
• Stronger test of SCL files during import

This test is implemented using another special SCL scheme.
• Extension of test equipment capabilities (data tracking and monitoring functions), device models, char-
acter strings
• Extension of the data model in terms of statistics data, power quality, conditional monitoring, hydro-
power, distributed energy resources, wind power, and communication between substations
• More standardized data classes (logical-node classes, CDC)

These data classes may not be used in an Edition 1 project in this manner.
• Support of several access points per device:

Several communication modules are possible with IEC 61850
• Usage of GOOSE Later Binding, that is, export of instantiated input signals for GOOSE application
If you would like to use the benefits of Edition 2, you can operate the devices in the Edition 2 mode.
More Ethernet-based protocols such as DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, or Modbus TCP can be activated on the same
or on a different Ethernet module.

Parameters Meaning
Used time stamp in GOOSE If a time stamp is sent via GOOSE, the receiver can use the signal without
subscriptions having to provide it with a time stamp when received.
The following settings are possible:
• On message reception
• Provided by GOOSE publisher
This parameter is only applicable if IEC 61850 is active.
To receive the time stamp, you must activate the data attribute t during the
parameterization of the GOOSE communication in the IEC 61850 System
Configurator. If you do not activate the data attribute, then no time stamp
will be received. You can activate individual data attributes or the whole
functional constraint. You can find more information on this in the IEC
61850 System Configurator Manual.

2.3 IEC 61850 Structure
2.3.1 Overview
The IEC 61850 structure indicates the hierarchical arrangement of the IEC 61850 elements in an application.
This process is also called Flexible Engineering.
Application Structure and IEC 61850 Structure

The following table illustrates the assignment between the application structure and the IEC 61850 structure:
Application Structure IEC 61850 Structure
Communication interface Access point
Function group FG Logical device(s) (LD)
Function FN Logical device(s) (LD)
Function block FB Logical node(s) LN
Data object DO Data object DO
An application in SIPROTEC 5 devices is organized into function groups and functions. The functions are
arranged within a function group. Functions can consist of one or more function blocks.
The IEC 61850 structure is created by generically converting the application structure:
• The function group and function form the logical device. From a function group Line1 with the function
87 Line diff.prot., the logical device becomes Ln1_87LineDiffProt in the IEC 61850 structure.
• The function blocks of the function are mapped as logical nodes. In the example above, these are the
logical nodes I_PDIF1 and IF_PDIF2. The prefix and suffix of a logical node are predefined. However, the
prefix and suffix can be changed.
• The settings and supervisory indications, for example, group indications, are contained in logical nodes
GAPC1 and PDIF_PTRC1.
This IEC 61850 structure corresponds to the SIPROTEC 5 view. The SIPROTEC 5 view is the preset view for the
Edition mode of IEC 61850.
Another view is the SIPROTEC 4 similar view. In the SIPROTEC 4 similar view, the IEC 61850 structure is
arranged similar as in the SIPROTEC 4 devices. The logical devices PROT, CTRL, MEAS, and DR are predefined
as fixed values. In the logical devices the function blocks are logical nodes. A generic assignment of function
groups and functions to the IEC 61850 structure is no longer available in this view. Logical nodes and the
superordinate controlling nodes are, however, displayed in the correct sequence (Logical device, Logical node,
Data object and Data attributes).
Options
NOTE
i These settings should be done at the beginning of the configuration, directly after activation of the
IEC 61850 protocol.
The following tasks can be performed with the IEC 61850 structure editor:
• Switch between the SIPROTEC 5 view and the SIPROTEC 4 similar view.
• Adding logical nodes.
• Renaming logical devices and logical nodes.
• Adding signals.
• Transmitting and deleting structure elements.
• Showing or hiding the logical devices, logical nodes, and signals on the IEC 61850 interface.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
Applications
The following describes 3 example applications for working with the IEC 61850 structure editor:
• To avoid a high flexible engineering effort when using a specification with few Logical Devices, you can
switch from the SIPROTEC 5 structure to the SIPROTEC 4 structure using the IEC 61850 structure editor.
• If you want to adapt the structure and designations of the elements and devices regardless of the
manufacturer, this can be done using the IEC 61850 structure editor. You can, for example, name a
device according to its location or intended use. In the process, and also for all other elements, you
can adapt the name to comply with the terminology used within your company. This type of structural
adaptation is also called 2.3.2 Functional Naming and Flexible Product Naming.
• If you are familiar with IEC 61850, you can make allowed changes to the functionality in the IEC 61850
structure editor. Instead of adding a function to a single-line configuration, you can add a user-defined
logical node or user-defined signals directly to the IEC 61850 structure.
Advantages
The variability of the IEC 61850 structure provides advantages including the following:
• Exchangeability of devices at communication level
• Typification of the device configuration independent of the device manufacturer
• Reduction of lifecycle engineering costs
• Longevity of the configuration data generated
2.3.2 Functional Naming and Flexible Product Naming
The engineering concept Functional naming and flexible product naming allows the device replacements
at the communication level. The configuration of the device communication interfaces ensures, that scope
of information to be transferred and the naming between devices of different versions and manufacturers
appears the same.
Definitions
• Functional naming
A data model with functional structure based on SCL is manufacturer-independent and standardized. In
IEC 61850, this function-oriented naming is called Functional Naming (function-related addressing). A
system model according to IEC 61850 is formed by the modeling of the primary system structure with the
following elements:
– Logical nodes for the equipment
– Distributed functions
– Type classes of the logical nodes, data objects, and attributes
• Flexible product naming

The data models of the devices reflect the implemented functions of bay and protection devices of
the individual manufacturers. The product naming describes the actual configuration of the IEC 61850
naming, that means the object tree structure of the IEC 61850 data model. According to this naming,
telegrams are formed and sent via the communication interface configured for IEC 61850.
It means that IEC 61850 address is vendor-dependent:
– Logical Devices
– Function allocation between IEDs

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
Product Naming
With flexible product naming, you can change the object tree structure. You have the following possibilities:
• Flexibility of the implemented device data models

You can define the structures of logical devices by adding user-defined logical devices.
• Adding logical nodes

You can add user-defined logical nodes and completely use all data classes in IEC 61850.
• Custom naming
The attribute LDname is used instead of the combination of the attributes IEDname and LDinst as part
of the address in a GOOSE or report communication only in Edition 2 and the standard solution for
functional naming.
You can define the IED name, the instance name of the logical device, the prefix, and the suffix.
2.3.3 Adjusting a Data Model
In order to adjust a data model of the device to a desired interface configuration, you may implement the
following modifications:
• You can rename the existing Logical Devices, for example, CB1 to QA1.
• You can rename IEDnames, for example SIP to E1Q4FP1.
• You can add LDs by creating function groups.
• You can remove existing LDs from the visible data model.
• You can add an ldName (Logical Device name). This LDname will then be used in the communication
address instead of the IEDname (device name) and the Logical Instance ID (LDinst).
NOTE
i You may not use the LDname twice within the entire Ethernet subnetwork. It exists only with Edition 2 of
the IEC 61850 protocol.
• You can configure an LN Prefix and the LN Instance number.
• You can create new Logical Nodes, your LN Prefixes, and your LN Instance number.
A newly added logical node is assigned the class USER.
• You can create data objects (DO).
• You can add data objects to new LNs.
• You can expand the data volume of a LN by one or several DOs.
• You can move one LN from one LD into another LD.
• You can remove existing LNs from the visible data model.
• You can remove existing DOs from the visible data model.
• You can adjust the namespace of LN and DO in order to clone new standard data models.
NOTE
i The same data model is available via all communications models with IEC 61850.

[sc_IEC_str, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-7 IEC 61850 Structure
Examples of How to Adjust a Data Model

In a function-related system specification according to IEC 61346, you have assigned a group of LNs with DOs
to an equipment circuit breaker.
These data objects are to be transmitted during the communication with the following function-related
addresses:
• Switchgear (Station): Sample system
• Voltage level: E1
• Bay name: Q3
• Equipment circuit breakers: QA1
• Phase (Subequipment): A

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
• Logical Nodes:
– XCBR
– CSWI
– CILO
– RSYN
In order to illustrate this address structure in a product-related address scheme, configure a logical device with
the following LDname:
Sample system_E1_Q3_K1_SwitchRel
K1 means electronic control unit 1 and SwitchRel- refers to information related to the switching device.
LN instances are set with the prefix QA1A.
Implement the following changes in the IEC 61850 structure:
² Enter Sample system_E1_Q3_K1_SwitchRel into the Name(ldName) field.
[sc_IEC_st2, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-8 Changing the LD Name
² Enter QA1 into the field prefix LN XCBR0, XCBR1, XCBR2, XCBR3, CSWI0, CILO0.
[sc_IEC_cst3, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-9 Entering the Prefix
² Move the LN from the LD CB1_Synchronization into LD CB1.

If data objects are missing from the standard content of the IED, you can simply copy the user-defined
function (LN) and a user-defined signal (DO) from the library into the respective device.

2.4 Exporting
MICS
This file is the XML description of the device data model.
With this export format 3 files are exported: 1 XML description and 2 formatting files.
Both formatting files must be in the same directory as the XML file so that the XML files can be displayed
correctly in the browser. If this is not the case, the XML file is displayed in an unformatted way.
If you have selected an unchanged application template, for example, DIFF/DIS Overhead Line, 1.5 CB, the
MICS file of the application template corresponds to the functions preconfigured by Siemens. If you have
added functions and data objects in DIGSI 5, these values are imported 1:1 into the MICS file.
NOTE
i Exporting data with the MICS format is only available if you have parameterized an Ethernet interface
(integrated Ethernet interface or an Ethernet communication module) with the IEC 61850 protocol.
SCL files are exported according to Edition 1 (SCL Scheme V1.7) or Edition 2 (SCL Scheme 2007 Revision B) of
the IEC 61850 protocol. The edition is set in the device properties.
You can find more information on the export of CID, SCD, and SED files in the IEC 61850 System Configurator

2.6 Protocol Properties and Implementation
2.6.1 IEC 61850 Structure of a SIPROTEC 5 Device
There are 2 possible structures:
• SIPROTEC 5 view
• SIPROTEC 4 similar view
NOTE
i Select the basic structure at the beginning. If you subsequently change the structure, all report and GOOSE
configurations are lost.
SIPROTEC 5 View
A SIPROTEC 5 device is organized into function groups and functions. The protection functions are located
in a function group, for example, Line. Breaker, for instance, is an additional function group that contains
breaker-related functions.
The SIPROTEC 5 view contains the following components:
• Protection functions/functions
The protection functions/functions consist of one or several tripping stages and a superordinate stage
that controls the stages below it. In DIGSI 5, this view corresponds to, for example, information routing. A
generic conversion into the IEC 61850 protocol structure takes place.
• Logical device
The function group and function form the logical device. The following figure shows this, using the
differential-protection function as an example. Ln1 Is the function group Line1 that contains the 87 Line
diff.prot. protection function and additional protection functions.
The text of the logical device Ln1_87LineDiffProt consists of an abbreviation for the function group
Line1 and the protection function. In the column at the right in the following figure, you can see the
corresponding DIGSI 5 text that is used, for instance, in information routing. In information routing, the
IEC 61850 descriptions and the DIGSI 5 texts will always be displayed in table format. This will enable you
to always find the IEC 61850 object assigned to the DIGSI 5 objects.

IEC 61850
[sc_SIP5 view, 3, en_US]
Figure 2-17 Information Routing in DIGSI
• Logical nodes
The differential-protection stages appear as logical nodes (called PDIF per the Standard). These are the
logical nodes I_PDIF1 and IF_PDIF2. The prefix and suffix of the logical node are specified by Siemens.
However, you can change them at any time.
The logical nodes GAPC1 and PDIF_PTRC1 contain parameters that control the tripping stages as well as
superordinate indications, for example, group indications. If you open up the logical nodes, you will see
the information objects and settings contained therein.
This IEC 61850 structure is valid if you select the SIPROTEC 5 view structure in the IEC 61850 structure editor.

of Differential Protection as an Example
The SIPROTEC 5 view offers the following advantages:
• Uniform display with information routing
• Improved granularity of the functions for monitoring (Health indication) or for the test (mod).
SIPROTEC 4 Similar View

The SIPROTEC 4 similar view is an additional IEC 61850 structure. It is preferred in Edition 1 because the LD
texts are shorter.
The logical devices are given with the following designations, for instance:
• PROT
• CTRL
• MEAS
• DR
NOTE
i If you switch to the SIPROTEC 4 similar view, all user-defined function groups are moved into the logical
device CTRL.
If you add new function groups to the information routing, new logical devices are created. If you switch to
the SIPROTEC 5 view and then switch back to the SIPROTEC 4 similar view, all user-defined function groups
are moved back into the logical device CTRL.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
NOTE
i The logical device EXT (Extended) is not available as default. However, you may create your own logical
devices by way of user-defined function groups in the Information routing.
The logical devices exhibit a great deal of similarity to the LD structure of SIPROTEC 4 devices.
The logical devices contain the tripping stages, for example, protection function stages, and the superordinate
stages that control them as logical nodes.
A generic assignment of function groups and functions to the IEC 61850 structure is no longer available in this
view. Logical nodes and the superordinate controlling nodes are, however, displayed in the correct sequence.
In addition, the DIGSI 5 text for an object or a parameter is always visible. You can also change this view in the
Structure Editor at any time.
[sc_iec_4st, 3, en_US]
Figure 2-19 IEC 61850 Structure of a SIPROTEC 5 Device (SIPROTEC 4 Similar View)
The SIPROTEC 4 view offers the following advantage:
• SIPROTEC 4 devices can be modeled faster in SIPROTEC 5 flexible engineering.

2.6.2 IEC 61850 Services
You can find details in PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement).

SIPROTEC 5 devices support the following IEC 61850 services:
GOOSE Messages
Datasets are created in the device by GOOSE applications. This takes place in the logical node LLN0 of a logical
device. You can specify where these datasets are created.
The first object configured in a GOOSE message from a logical device creates a dataset for a GOOSE message
in LLN0. Further objects are configured in this dataset and added to this dataset, even if they originated in
other LDs. Alternatively, if you wish to send objects in different datasets, you can also create a new GOOSE
application and thus a new dataset.
NOTE
i Sending objects in different datasets generates unnecessary data traffic, since each dataset created is
transmitted via its own GOOSE message. GOOSE subscribers can handle up to 250 dataset changes per
second. Exceeding this limit can cause operation failures.
The dataset is sent as a GOOSE message and distributed to all network participants in the form of multicast
telegrams. If participants wish to receive specific objects in a GOOSE message, the user can select these
objects via the system configuration and receive them later online.
GOOSE messages are transmitted with high priority and repeated at an interval of a few milliseconds in the
event of a spontaneous change of the data object. You set the repetition time in the IEC 61850 System
Configurator.
You can find more information on GOOSE parameterization and on creating a GOOSE application in the
System Configurator manual.
Control Commands
You can control an object in a device with control commands. By using the control model Select Before
Operate, you can actuate a circuit breaker reliably, for instance. Commands without feedback can be
executed in the device as well, for example, resetting the LEDs (LED Reset) by the client.
You can find more information on the configuration and control of switching objects in chapter 2.6.5 Control
via IEC 61850.
Settings can be changed by using the Setting Services function.
You can find more information in chapter 11.1.16.1 IEC 61850 Browser.
2.6.3 Reporting
2.6.3.1 What Is a Report?

When using IEC 61850 in switchgear as well, you must test communication between protection devices and
the substation automation technology just as you do with the previous protocols. This requires, among other
things, the knowledge of the power system protection technician who selects and generates the signals sent
to the systems control. Testing these connections is a basic part of commissioning.
The IEC 61850 Standard defines various types of communication. For time-critical data such as tripping events
and transformer values initiated by a different IED, real-time transmission via GOOSE or sampled values is
employed.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
For classic communication, for example, between the systems control and a bay unit, the Standard describes
various services based on the data model:
• Control for controlling
• Log for event lists
• Report for transmission of indications and measured values

There are static and dynamic reports. You can find more detailed information on this in chapter 2.6.3.3 Static
Reporting.
The following sections describe reports involving data exchange between a protection or bay unit (server) and
the substation automation technology (client) and its tests. Reports are transmitted over Ethernet connections
via TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
Data objects (indications) of a device are summarized as a list in a report. For instance, indication changes,
caused for example, by a raising and cleared protection tripping event, are transmitted spontaneously from
server to client. Therefore, the client does not have to query the server cyclically, as is the case with serial
protocols, but automatically receives a notification of the event, for example, an indication change or a
change of the measured value.
If the server permits, it is also possible to have cyclic transmission of data and general interrogation. The event
control of data transmission is a property that is contained in the attributes of each report. You can affect
these properties by using the IEC 61850 System Configurator.
Buffered and Unbuffered Reports

The Standard distinguishes between Buffered Reports and Unbuffered Reports. The Buffered Report is used
most frequently today.
• Buffered Report
In the case of an Buffered Report Control Block (BRCB), internal events trigger immediate transmission
of reports. If the connection between the server and client is interrupted, indication changes in the
protection device are stored. As soon as the connection has been reestablished, these indications are
transmitted to the systems control with a time stamp and the attribute Historic. To enable saving to a
practicable limit – as recommended in the standard – the server must have adequate storage capacity. If
an uninterrupted connection exists between the client and server, for example, in the case of controlled
operation in a switchgear, then the behavior of both procedures appear identical from the user view of
the systems control.
• Unbuffered report
In the case of an Unbuffered Report Control Block (URCB), internal events trigger immediate transmis-
sion of reports. If there is no connection or if the transport data flow is not fast enough, events can be
lost.
Datasets are needed for reports.
Client LNs can be set. ICD files from the client are imported. Here, you will find the IP address. With this, you
can assign the report to the client. This ensures that only this client will receive the report. You can do these
settings in the System Configurator.
You can find information on subscribing to reports in the IEC 61850 Browser in chapter 11.1.16.3 Activating
the Reports.
2.6.3.2 Datasets
Static and Dynamic Datasets

Every IEC 61850 service relies on data from the data model. This requires Datasets that reference actual
values in the model.
There are report datasets with data for this report, for example, indication of the positions of the disconnector
switch and circuit breaker in the feeder. These datasets can be created statically or dynamically.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
Static Datasets
In the case of a static dataset, the number of indications and measured values is specified in the Report
Editor. Once these configuration data are loaded into the server, the client can no longer change the contents
of the configuration data. A fixed report that the client can retrieve is stored in the server. Changing the
number/scope of the indications requires new parameterization followed by loading to the server.
The benefit is that the data provided by a server are stored in an SCD configuration file (Station Configuration
Description). The drawback is that the settings in the server must be changed if the number/scope of indica-
tions is changed for the substation automation technology.
Dynamic Datasets
In the case of dynamic datasets, the settings in the server do not need to be changed when the number/scope
of indications changes. The client has 2 opportunities to read all data points that the server can potentially
make available:
• Offline with a configuration file (ICD or SCD file), for example, in a SICAM substation automation tech-
nology.
• Online by connection establishment to the server, for example, in the IEC Browser Testtool.
The client specifies the information that a report from a device should contain. Thus, the content of a report
is not fixed, but rather can be changed while the system is operating. The parameters set in the server do not
have to be changed.
In this way, the client can be set to watch for special indications or measured values, for instance, for only a
specific period. It can then create a report in the server, retrieve this report in order to obtain the information
and then delete the report. No classic protocol offers this flexibility.
NOTE
i Siemens supports the concept of dynamic datasets.
You can find additional information on the creation of datasets in the System configurator manual.
You can find information on creating and checking datasets in the IEC 61850 Browser in chapter
11.1.16.2 Dynamic Datasets.
2.6.3.3 Static Reporting
What Is a Static Report?

In a static report, the datasets are generated by the configuration in the IEC 61850 System Configurator. Such
a dataset contains the data objects that are to be transmitted to an IEC 61850 client. You specify the content
of the dataset with the configuration setup in DIGSI 5. This dataset is associated with a report. There are
numerous possible configurations for a report.
IEC 61850 View in the System Configurator

The protection devices and bay units (server) provide a system configurator with all of the information that
can be transmitted to a client (systems control) or between servers in the form of an ICD or IID file. In the case
of protection functions, the manufacturer specifies the number/scope of the indications. For control functions,
you establish the number/scope of indications with the configuration tool of the server (for SIPROTEC devices
from Siemens, by means of DIGSI 5). The IEC 61850 Standard defines how this information is displayed in a
separate XML scheme called SCL (Substation Configuration Language).
The system configurator displays the indication texts (Description column) together with the IEC 61850 texts
(Name column).

Only names (designations) from the data model (IEC texts) are transmitted between client and server. In this
way, only the IEC texts can be seen in the case of eavesdropping of the Ethernet by a network sniffer.
Indications and measured values from the server of an IEC 61850 station are configured in a static report. For
this purpose, the devices are displayed as information sources in terms of their IEC 61850 structure.

i You can create additional reports for information regarding command control or for measured values. A
SIPROTEC device has a maximum of 11 buffered reports.
Server
The buffers in which the indications are located in the device are specified in the server on a manufacturer-
specific basis.
The properties of the report (dataset, trigger conditions…) are saved in so-called Report Control Blocks (RCB).
You can also change the dataset names that the system suggests (dataset + number) in the properties dialog
of the dataset.

dataset name. In the example, the name of the dataset is changed to Protection.
[sc_prd_set, 3, en_US]
Figure 2-24 Properties Dialog for a Dataset with Protection Device Indications
Test Mode
All data objects can be identified with a test flag. If the function block to which the data object belongs is in
Test mode, then the test flag for a date object has been set. However, not all objects that are received via
communication are marked with the test flag by the test mode of the function block. Input proxy objects, for
example, contain the test flag that was received via communication.
The Test mode of a function block can be simulated by the following actions:
• The function block has been placed in test mode by the parameter Mode or by the controllable Mod.
• The entire device has been placed in the application test mode (HMI: Device functions/Operating modes/
test).
If the reports have been configured, the data are written to an SCD file (Substation Configuration Description
File) after the export. This file is important for loading the data in the device that is simultaneously the
IEC 61850 server. For SIPROTEC devices, the file is loaded with DIGSI 5. To import indication lists into the
client, use the SCD file. In this way, the client knows the scope of the reports and the datasets that contain the
information. This standardized data exchange is a great benefit compared to previous substation automation
protocols in which manufacturer-specific indication lists are exchanged in proprietary file formats or manually.
The SCD file can be exported from the IEC 61850 System Configurator and is available as an input to the test
program.
2.6.3.4 Testing Protection Indications
Using Reports to Test Protection Indications

² Create a report for the protection indication and connect the dynamic dataset with the control block.
² Pick up the protection indication by using a tool that can change the signal inside the device, for
example, DIGSI 5 Test Editor.
You can find more information on the DIGSI 5 Test Editor in chapter 11.1.14 Test Editor.

² Select the Reporting field.
- or -
² Click the Auto Refresh button in the IEC client.
² Pick up the protection indication.
This will enable you to detect changes on the device via the client.

IEC 61850
2.6.4 Setting Parameters via IEC 61850
Settings in the device can be read and changed via the IEC 61850 protocol. This requires an IEC 61850 client,
for example, the IEC Browser provided on the DIGSI 5 DVD. All settings displayed in logical nodes can be read
and edited using the protocol.
The following stages are available:
• No parameters available
• Only reading order
• All
Consequently, an IEC 61850 client can change settings in the device independently of DIGSI 5 or the HMI
(Human-Machine Interface).
The IEC 61850 Standard defines a SETTING-GROUP-CONTROL-BLOCK model (SGCB). This model allows an
instance to have several values that can be used individually. It provides mechanisms for switching between
several values of one or more data objects. Related values form the settings group.
The device supports up to 8 different settings groups that can be configured with DIGSI 5.
The only SGCB of a SIPROTEC 5 device is found in the logical node LLN0 of the logical device (LD) PROT in the
SIPROTEC 4 similar view or the logical device Application in the SIPROTEC 5 view. All parameters of other
logical devices are also addressed via hierarchical references (GrRef) of this SCGB.
The following structure is defined for the SGCB model:
SGCB Class

NumOfSG INT8U r The attribute NumOfSG identifies the total number
of available settings groups.

2.6.5 Control via IEC 61850
SIPROTEC 5 devices support all 4 control models defined in the standard:
• Direct without feedback monitoring
• With reservation (SBO - Select Before Operate) without feedback monitoring
• Direct with feedback monitoring
• With SBO with feedback monitoring

The next figure shows the command sources, command types, and control models.
[dw_steuer, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-32 Command Sources, Command Types and Control Models
SBO control models support the operate-once variant. The command may only be interrupted if it conforms
with the standard.
A control model is preset for all objects, taking into consideration the necessary safety aspects (implementa-
tion of the command, reaching the limit position, and safety relevance). For this reason, Siemens recommends
retaining the preset control model. However, under certain circumstances it may be necessary to modify this
control model.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
[sc_control model, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-33 Control Model in DIGSI (Editable on Function-Block Level)
The Control function also checks the service parameters Synchrocheck and Interlocking check
according to IEC61850-7-2. If these parameters aretrue, the checks are performed. If they are false, the
checks are not performed in the device even if the respective functions are configured.
A function block User-defined function block [control] is available for the bay controller 6MD. If you use this
function block, all added commands inherit the properties of this function block.
For controllable objects that are coupled to the process, Siemens and the standard recommend always
selecting the control models with expanded safety (feedback monitoring).
According to the standard, commands with test state indicator are supported. This implies that a test
command can be only implemented if the object Beh of the associated LNs has the value test.
The IEC 61850 protocol permits testing the switching commands for their operability prior to implementation.
Test bits allow the interlocking devices to be switched on and off. The interlocking check bit affects which
command checks are to be performed.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
SIPROTEC 5 devices use test bits as follows:
• If the synchrocheck is not switched on for a circuit breaker and a switching command with the respective
test bit is transmitted via IEC 61850 to the device, this switching command will be rejected with a
negative acknowledgment OPR-. If the synchronization function is not a part of the Circuit-breaker
function group, the test bit will be ignored and the switching command will be executed if all other
command checks prove to be successful. More detailed command-check information can be found in the
respective chapter of the Device manual.
• If the test bit is not set, it will be treated like the non-interlocked switching mode. If the Interlocking
function block is not available in the Circuit-breaker function group, the interlocking conditions will
not be tested and the switching command will be executed if all other command checks prove to be
successful. More detailed command-check information can be found in the respective chapter of the
Device manual.
NOTE
i For SICAM PAS/SCC parameterization, there are several SICAM SCC objects for each switching object, for
example, switching with interlock or switching with synchrocheck. For this reason, it is mandatory to
consider the specific treatment of the test bits during engineering of the system.
You can find more information on the switching authority in the manual SIPROTEC 5 High-Voltage Bay
Controller 6MD85/86.
2.6.6 VLAN Priority for Fast GOOSE Tripping
You can set the VLAN priority for each GOOSE control block. To enable the function to work efficiently, a
subscriber should receive only 1 GOOSE control block with the highest VLAN priority 7. In some cases, more
than 1 GOOSE control block with this priority value (7) can result in a high number of repetitions and thus to a
slow-down in the processing of GOOSE events.
[sc_syscon_VLAN_prio, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-34 VLAN Priority
2.6.7 Measured Values and Measured-Value Description
In order to detect the measured values in the buffer or transmission via reports, the application of the
deadband is important.
Measured values instMag are only forwarded with the deadband mechanism if they change outside of an
adjustable window. The window is defined as an upper and lower limit, a percentage of the actual measured
value.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
NOTE
i The summation takes place every 500 ms.
If the measured value instMag deviates from the deadband value mag, then the amount of the difference of
these 2 values will be added. If over time the accumulated sum exceeds the upper limit db (deadband value),
the deadband value mag will be set to the current value of instMag, and the sum will be reset to 0.
By using the trigger option TrgOp=dchg, the deadband value mag can be saved in the buffer or can be
reported. After setting the trigger option TrgOp=dchg, the device may wait several milliseconds before the
report is sent.
[sc_dia_iec, 1, --_--]
Figure 2-35 Diagram on the Behavior of Values
The diagram illustrates the relationship between the following values:
• Measured value instMag
• Deadband value mag
• Upper limit db (deadband value)

The upper limit db is used as a unit of 0.001 % and refers as a percentage to the currently measured
value
• Accumulated sum, referred to simply as sum

The deadband value mag changes significantly slower than the measured value instMag.
[sc_db_IEC_browser, 1, --_--]
Figure 2-36 Example of db Value
The figure shows the db value in the IEC Browser.

IEC 61850
[sc_IEC_browser_instmag_and_mag, 1, --_--]
Figure 2-37 instMag and mag Values
Large differences between instMag and mag lead to the repeated updating of mag.
Small differences between instMagand mag lead to an infrequent change of mag.
NOTE
i Since db is a percentage of the measured value, very small measured values and increased noise may cause
a flood of mag indications. An additional threshold in the device prevents a flood of indications.
If spontaneous changes do not need to be sent quickly, reports with measured values can also be trans-
mitted cyclically.
2.6.8 Device Time
2.6.8.1 Description
The SNTP protocol or the IEEE 1588 protocol can be used for time synchronization via Ethernet networks.

IEC 61850
[sc_device_time_LTMS, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-39 Device-Time Messages – Example LN/LTMS
SIPROTEC 5 devices support both Edition 1 and Edition 2 according to IEC 61850-7-2. In Edition 2, the
logical attributes LeapSecondsKnown, ClockFailure, ClockNotSynchronized, and the value TimeAccuracy
are maintained in each time stamp. In Edition1, these signals contain default values. Thus, the interoperability
for substation automation technologies is ensured for both editions.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
In the best case (highest quality), the following values are set:
• TimeAccuracy = 24 (2-24 s = 59.6 ns)
• ClockNotSynchronized = false
• ClockFailure = false
If the time quality decreases, first only the TimeAccuracy changes, for example, toTimeAccuracy = 10 (2-10 s
= 0.98 ms). The worst value that is possible for TimeAccuracy is 0 (2-0 s = 1 s). If the time quality becomes
even worse, this is indicated with the special value TimeAccuracy = 31 (unspecified).
With an unsynchronized device, the following values are displayed for all indications:
• TimeAccuracy = 31 (unspecified)
• ClockNotSynchronized = true
2.6.8.2 Determining the TimeAccuracy Value

The accuracy of a received time stamp can be identified by the received telegram (see IRIG-B, Expanded
Protocol, Page 142). If this is not the case, the source is supposed to have a perfect accuracy (deviation = 0).
The measured deviation between the received time and device time (for a precise receive time) is added
to this value. As long as no other time telegram is received, the indicated accuracy of the SIPROTEC device
continually decreases at 0.2 ppm (0.2 µs/s). This accuracy has internal fine resolution. The accuracy is repre-
sented in the time stamps approximately as exponential in form (2-24 s to 2-0 s) as TimeAccuracy. This
representation is specified by the IEC.
If the value ClockNotSynchronized is set to true, TimeAccuracy is set to 31 (unspecified) (typically after a
time value according to the parameter Fault indication after after the last synchronization telegram).
IRIG-B, Expanded Protocol

An accuracy value (expansion acc. to IEEE C37.118-2005) contained in IRIG-B 005(004) is added to the
measured deviation between the received time and the device time.
If the special value locked is received, then only the deviation between the received time and the device time
is taken as the accuracy value.
SNTP
SNTP contains an accuracy value with the aid of the stratum value. However, since this value cannot be
converted into a concrete deviation, it is ignored by the SIPROTEC 5 device. The receiving offset is taken into
account as with all sources.
IEEE 1588
The accuracy values from the Announce message (grandmasterClockQuality, TimeInaccuracy in profile-
specific IEEE_C37_238 TLV) are not evaluated.
Other Time Formats

These sources are considered as perfect – apart from a measured offset to device time.
2.6.8.3 Determining the ClockNotSynchronized Value

After device startup, this value is first set to true. Through a 1st synchronization using one of the set sources,
it changes to false.
However, if no more synchronization telegrams are received for the set time Fault indication after
(default: 600 s), then the value is set to ClockNotSynchronized = true.
If the value ClockFailure is set, then also ClockNotSynchronized is always set.
The status of ClockNotSynchronized corresponds to the state of the message Time sync. error right up to
startup. However, the message status at startup is off. If no synchronization takes place, for parameterized
sources, this status changes to on after Fault indication after.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
2.6.8.4 Determining the ClockFailure Value

If hardware errors occur on the time components, the logical value ClockFailure is set to true.
This value is set at startup until a valid time can be read from the clock module buffered with the button cell or
until the time can be set manually (HMI, DIGSI) or by a parameterized synchronization source.
If ClockFailure is set, ClockNotSynchronized = true and TimeAccuracy = 31 (unspecified) are also set.
The status of the message Clock fail corresponds to the status of the value.
2.6.9 Asset Management
You can monitor firmware and configuration statuses across the entire plant. Attributes of the devices are
used for this purpose.
The following versions and information are made available for asset management via the IEC 61850 interface.

2.7 File Transmission
2.7.1 Retrieving Fault Records and Logs
The MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification) file transfer can be used for the transmission of COMTRADE
fault records and COMFEDE event logs.
Therefore, the MMS file transfer provides a standard and automated way to retrieve all SIPROTEC 5 process
data without using DIGSI 5.
You can find 2 different methods of retrieving fault records and logs in the following figures.
[sc_process_data, 1, en_US]
Figure 2-40 Retrieving Fault Records and Logs via DIGSI 5
[sc_logs_via_MMS, 1, --_--]
Figure 2-41 Retrieving Fault Records and Logs via MMS File Transfer
2.7.2 Fault Records
File transfer is used to transmit fault records from a server to a client. The fault records, such as intended in
the COMTRADE standard, are stored in the server together with a configuration file (.cfg) and a binary data file
(.dat). When COMTRADE 2013 is used, the content comprises an information file (.inf) and a header file (.hdr).
A client reads both files and can then display the fault record with analog and binary traces. This requires
special analysis software, for example, SIGRA.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
The configuration file contains, among other information:
• All analog and binary traces of the fault record
• Names of the traces
• Sampling rate
The raw data for these traces are contained in the data file, which is stored as a binary COMTRADE in the
device.
Binary traces must be configured in the Recorder column in the DIGSI 5 Information routing.
Fault records are transmitted with a resolution of 8 kHz via the IEC 61850 protocol, except for 7KE85. 7KE85
can transmit fault records via the IEC 61850 protocol with a resolution of 16 kHz.
NOTE
i Fault records can also be read from the device by DIGSI 5. They are available there at a maximum sampling
rate of 8 kHz. You can configure the sampling rate differently for DIGSI 5 and IEC 61850. The DIGSI 5
sampling rate is always identical to or greater than the IEC 61850 sampling rate. Transmission to DIGSI 5
does not use the IEC 61850 protocol, but instead uses a compressed and encrypted protocol.
Configure the sampling rate in DIGSI 5 as follows:
[sc_fault record, 2, en_US]
Figure 2-42 Configuring the Sampling Rate in DIGSI
An IEC 61850 Client can retrieve a directory of the fault record from the device. It can later transmit the
records from the device with MMS file transfer. You can find more information in the manual about PIXIT,
PICS, TICS IEC 61850.
NOTE
i The COMTRADE file must be generated internally before transmission. Thus the file size is initially unknown
and is reported as 0 in accordance with the IEC 61850 standard.
2.7.3 COMFEDE
2.7.3.1 Overview
The SIPROTEC 5 device has the following operational logs that can be retrieved as a standard COMFEDE file
over MMS file transfer.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
• Operational logs
• Fault logs
• Ground-fault logs
• User-defined logs
• Setting-history logs
• Motor-starting logs
• Sequence-of-events log
• Communication-supervision log
• Switching device log

For more information on the content of the logs, refer to 8.5.1 General in the Operation Manual.
NOTE
i For security reasons, the security logs are not accessible via COMFEDE. The security logs are accessible via
syslog.
NOTE
i The troubleshooting logs (device-diagnosis logs, communication log) are available only for the mainte-
nance personnel via DIGSI.
2.7.3.2 Description COMFEDE

The IEEE C37.239-2010 defines the Common Format for Event Data Exchange (COMFEDE) for power systems.
COMFEDE is the format for file transfer in protection devices with the following main characteristics:
• COMFEDE consists of a XML file with the extension *.CED, following a defined XSD schema.
• The format of COMFEDE is able to at least hold the information related to the following log and reports:
– Sequence-of-events (SOE) log
– Fault-summary reports
• Additionally, a COMFEDE file contains the following device information data:

– Device name
– Product code
– Serial number
– Firmware version
– Configuration version
Downloading the COMFEDE File

IEC 61850 clients can download the COMFEDE file from the device.
If one of the following events occurs, an active download is not interrupted, but the new log is not included in
the current COMFEDE file:
• New fault logs are created.
• New ground-fault logs are created.
• New operational logs are created.
• New user-defined logs are created.
• New setting-history logs are created.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
• New motor-starting logs are created.
• New sequence-of-events log is created.
• The repeated download request is sent.
• The IEC 61850 client is disconnected from the device.
• New switching-device log is created.

If there is an interruption, the IEC 61850 client must restart the downloading.
After the download is finished, you can save the COMFEDE.ced on a local PC.
NOTE
i When the device has many process data, the COMFEDE file download can take several minutes.
Interaction with the COMTRADE Download

If a communication module is downloading a COMFEDE file, an additional download request of a COMTRADE
file on the same module will be rejected.
If a communication module is downloading a COMTRADE file, an additional download request of a COMFEDE
file on the same module will be rejected.
NOTE
i In either case, the device with MMS file transfer replies the error FILE_BUSY (02).
A new download request for COMFEDE or COMTRADE files is only possible once the current download is
completed.
NOTE
i Each communication module can process the COMFEDE or COMTRADE file download independently from
each other. For example, a COMTRADE download on Port E and a COMFEDE download on Port J can be
processed at the same time.
2.7.3.3 COMFEDE Display
Opening the COMFEDE File

To display the downloaded COMFEDE file on a local PC, proceed as follows:
² Download COMFEDE.css and COMFEDE.xslt from the Internet page.
² Rename the COMFEDE.ced to COMFEDE.xml.

2.8 IEC 61850-9-2 Process Bus

The Ethernet communication module ETH-BD-2FO provides the IEC 61850-9-2 process-bus functionality for
SIPROTEC 5 modular devices, besides other communication protocols like IEC 61850-8-1 and IEEE 1588v2/PTP.
The following process-bus functionality is provided:
• Process-bus client functionality:

The process-bus client allows a subscription of current-sampled and voltage-sampled values published by
a merging unit (MU) complying with the IEC 61850-9-2 and IEC 61869-9 standards.
• Process-bus merging unit functionality:

The process-bus merging unit allows a publishing of current-sampled and voltage-sampled values on a
process-bus network according to the IEC 61850-9-2 and IEC 61869-9 standards.
Additionally to the process-bus functionality, the following main Ethernet functionality can be used at the
same time:
• IEC 61850-8-1 GOOSE
• IEEE 1588v2/PTP
• Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) or Line Mode
• High Availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol (HSR)

The following figure shows the general approach of the IEC 61850-9-2 standard for interconnection of a
merging unit publishing sampled values (SV) and a process-bus client that uses these Sampled Values.

MU Merging unit
IED Intelligent Electronic Device
For more information regarding the connection possibilities of the different components and the configura-
tion, refer to the SIPROTEC 5 Process Bus Manual.
To measure currents and voltages in a primary system, a merging unit can use a vendor-specific primary
equipment. The merging unit provides the sampled measured values as Ethernet data packets as defined
in the IEC 61850-9-2 and IEE 61869-9 standards. To use these signals as voltage or current inputs in a
SIPROTEC 5 device, the device must subscribe to signals provided by the merging unit.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 61850
In this document, you can find information on how to configure a SIPROTEC 5 device that subscribes or
publishes time-coherent data streams according to IEC 61850-9-2 and IEC 61869-9. To do this, IID files
(IID – Instantiated IED Description) provide a description of merging-unit streams (when a merging unit is
configured) or requested subscriptions (when a process-bus client is configured).
The IID files contain the following information:
• Self description of the signals provided by a merging unit
• Data-packet formats published by a merging unit in a standardized format
• Process-bus client inputs to be subscribed with a merging-unit signal by a system configurator

A SIPROTEC 5 client can receive and process data streams of merging units complying with the IEC 61869-9
standard. For a merging unit that only sends data streams according to IEC 61850-9-2, additional engineering
steps can be necessary, for example, if the parameters for the instrument-transformer ratios are not exposed
in the IID file of the merging unit.
In this manual, you can find the following information:
• Configuration of the SIPROTEC 5 device to act as a process-bus client
• Configuration of the SIPROTEC 5 device to act as a merging unit
• Export of the IID files to be used in a process-bus client
• Configuration of the sampled-value subscription using the Siemens IEC 61850 System Configurator
You can find a detailed description of how to use IEC 61850-9-2 in the SIPROTEC 5 Process Bus manual.

DNP3
3.1 Protocol Characteristics
3.1.1 Protocol Structure
3.1.1.1 Description
DNP3 has a graded architecture. Instead of the OSI model, however, a simplified 3-layer model suggested
by the IEC is used. This model was named Enhanced Performance Architecture (EPA) by the IEC. However,
DNP3 adds a 4th layer, a pseudo transport layer, with which messages can be segmented. The graphics were
taken from the DNP3-Spec-V1-Introduction-20071215.pdf standard.
[dw_epadia, 1, en_US]
Figure 3-1 EPA Diagram
The SIPROTEC 5 device supports the DNP3, level 2 version.

You can find additional information in the standard IEEE 1815 at http://standards.ieee.org/.
3.1.1.2 Physical Layer

The physical layer mainly deals with the physical media through which the protocol is transferred. The physical
layer deals with, for example, the condition of the media (free or occupied) and the synchronization through
the media (start and stop).
DNP3 most frequently uses a simple, asynchronous serial transmission like RS232 or RS485 with physical
media like pilot wires and optical fiber. Moreover, the transmission can take place through Ethernet.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
DNP3
[dw_dalila, 1, --_--]
Figure 3-2 Physical Layer
3.1.1.3 Data-Link Layer

The data link layer manages the logical connection between the transmitter and the receiver of the informa-
tion and improves the fault tolerance of the physical line. This is achieved with DNP3 by starting every data
transmission package with a data head, and a 16 bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check) is executed for every
16 bytes of the package.
A package is a part of the complete message transferred through the physical layer. The maximum size of a
data package is 256 bytes. Each package has a 16-bit source address and a 16-bit target address, which can
also be a general address (0xFFFF).
The 10-byte data link layer head contains:
• Address information
• 16-bit start code

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
DNP3
• Frame length
• Data link control byte

The data link control byte displays the cause of the data transmission and the status of the logical connection.
The data link control byte can have the following values:
• ACK (data link confirmation)
• NACK (negative confirmation)
• Connection needs to be reset
• Connection is reset
• Data link confirmation from the package required

If a data link confirmation is needed, the receiver must respond with an ACK data package if the package
was received and the CRC checks were successful. If no data link confirmation is requested, no response is
required.
3.1.1.4 Pseudo Transport Layer

The pseudo transport layer segments application messages in multiple data transmission packages.
The pseudo transport layer implements an individual byte function code for every package. The byte function
code displays what the data transmission package is:
• The 1st package of a message
• The last package of a message
• Both (for individual message packages)

The function code delivers a running package number. This subsequent package number is increased with
each package and allows the receiver's transport layer to analyze the package.
[dw_trfnct, 1, --_--]
Figure 3-3 Pseudo Transport Layer
3.1.1.5 Application Layer

The application layer responds to received messages and creates messages based on the necessity and
availability of the user data. As soon as messages are available, they are sent to the pseudo transport layer.
The messages are segmented here, sent to the data link layer and transferred through the physical layer.
If the data that is to be sent is too large for an individual application message, a number of application
messages can be created and sent in a sequential manner. Each message is an independent application
message. Their only connection with each other is the label in all messages that says that more messages will
follow. Only the last message does not contain this label. Each application message refers to a fragment due
to the fact that the user data may be fragmented. A message can thus be a single fragment message or a
multi-fragment message.
Application packages from DNP3 slaves are normally responses to queries. A DNP3 slave can also send a
message without a request, thus, an unsolicited response.
As in the data link layer, application fragments can be sent with a confirmation request. An application
confirmation indicates that a message was not only received, but rather it was also syntactically analyzed
without any errors. A data transmission confirmation or an ACK indicate only that the transmission package
was received and that the CRC checks were error-free.
Each application package begins with an application layer header, followed by one or more object heads/
object data. The application layer header contains an application control code and an application function
code.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
DNP3
If one of the following conditions is fulfilled, then the application control code contains labels:
• The package is a multi-package message.
• An application layer acknowledgment is requested for the package.
• The package is not requested.

The application control code contains a continual application layer number. With this application layer
number, the receiving application layer can recognize alien packages or lost packages.
The application function code in the header of the application layer indicates the cause or the requested
function in the message. While DNP3 allows a number of data types in a single message, it also allows only an
individual query for a data type within the message.
Examples for application function codes include:
• Acknowledgments for confirmation on the application layer
• Read and write
• Select and execute (SBO (select before operate), controls)
• Direct control (for switching objects without SBO)
• Save and delete (for counters)
• Restart (both cold and warm)
• Enable and disable non-requested messages
• Selection of the classes

The application function code in the header of the application layer applies for all object headers. Thus, the
application function code applies for all data within the message package.

3.1.2 Transfer through Ethernet
3.1.2.1 Requirements for the Physical, Transport, and Application Layers

The transmission through Ethernet takes place according to the same specifications as transmission through
serial connections. Only the method for the time synchronization through the network must be changed.
All requirements in the other protocol layers can be applied. Connection packages are transported in an
unchanged manner through the Ethernet protocol suite under the control of the data link layer.
3.1.2.2 Acknowledgments
If the SIPROTEC devices communicate through Ethernet, they must not work with confirmations from the
physical layer (CONFIRMED_USER_DATE). If necessary, the confirmations must be used by the application
layer. For confirmations of the application layer, there is no difference between IP networks (IP = Internet
protocol) and serial channels.

3.1.2.3 Message Transmission

As soon as the data-link layer has established a TCP connection (TCP = Transmission Control Protocol), the
physical layer of DNP3 can transmit packages as needed. The type of query (requested or not requested) does
not depend on the type of connection.
The SIPROTEC 5 devices support dual DNP3 Ethernet masters on the same Ethernet module.
A typical case for each DNP3 master is as follows:
• TCP connection is established with a device
• Class 1, 2, 3, 0 request is executed once

The data integrity is checked.
• Non-requested transmission is made possible
• Work is continued in this mode.
3.1.3 Functional Scope
The DNP3 interface of the SIPROTEC 5 device supports the following functions:
Function Description
Binary inputs with status Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
Object 01 and variation 02 describe the state of a digital input channel or internal
software information.
They are also used during the general interrogation by an RTU to synchronize
the database. The general interrogations are conducted after the run or cyclically
during the runtime.
Binary inputs with Object 02 and variation 02 describe the changes of a digital input channel or of
changed time internal software information with the associated change time. The binary inputs
are used for spontaneous process events.
Binary outputs with status Object 10 and variation 02 describe the current status of a binary output channel.
The control relay output block controls the binary output channels. See also
object 12.
Control relay output block Object 12 and variation 01 are used for commands for the process or for the
setting-up of internal functions.
32-bit binary meter with Object 20 and variation 01 are used for the display of metered values for active
marking and reactive power.
32-bit binary change Object 22 and variation 01 are used for the display of changed meter data for
meter without time active and reactive power.
32 bit analog inputs Object 30 and variation 01 describe signed 32-bit values for the digitalized analog
(measured values) signals or their calculated values.
16 bit analog inputs Object 30 and variation 02 describe signed 16-bit values for the digitalized analog
(measured values) signals or their calculated values. They are used for the general interrogation
during start-up. A measured value snapshot is also possible.
32-bit analog change Object 32 and variation 01 are used for the display of a changed analog value.

Function Description
Data class Object 60, variation 01, 02, 03, 04
These objects indicate different classes of information elements:
• Class 0 contains all information objects that are not distinguished in terms of
class 1 to 3
• Classes 1 to 3 contain groups of events from information elements
• The data from class 1 has the highest priority, followed by class 2, class 3,
and the static data
• Class 1 always means class 0 + 1, class 2 means class 0 + 2

Writing the value 00 on index 7 leads to reset of the bit Restart in the flag byte
for all data objects.
Writing to Index 4 resets the Need Time Bit.
NOTE
i These variations are set. You cannot change the variations in DIGSI.
3.1.4 Fault Record Transfer
The file transfer can be used to transfer a fault record (Object 70). The Rcd Made message is used to query
the availability of the fault record. When the message is mapped and there is a new fault in the device the
message is transferred. Cyclical reading of the directory is also possible. If there are files in the directory then
there are also fault records. Specifically, the transfer takes place as follows:
The following steps are required to read the directory:
• Reading of the directory with File Transport Object (obj 70 var 7)
• Waiting for the response
• If the read operation was successful, the master station increases the block number and reads the next
block.
• If the status indicator Last is set in the response, the master station closes the file with File Operation
Status Object (obj 70 var 4).
Every fault record is identified by an existing file. The following information is transferred for this:
• File Name Offset
• File Name Size
• File Type
• File Size
• Time Of Creation
• Permissions
• Request ID
• File Name
The master station can now select the required fault. The transfer takes place in the same manner as with
reading the directory.

The following information can be mapped:

Information Maximum Mappable Amount
Indications + Controllables at Tx 500
Controllables at Rx 50
Settings at Tx Not supported
Measurements at Tx 100
Counters at Tx 20
3.1.6 Additional Information
The mapping of the commands occurs like the mapping of messages. Here, object group 12 is preset.
Scaling Measured Values

The measured values between the SIPROTEC 5 device and the DNP3 master are transferred as integer values
in 16-bit or 32-bit format. 16 bits correspond with a range from 0 to 65 535; 32 bits correspond with a range
from 0 to 4 294 967 295.
You can find more detailed information on this in chapter 1.9.5 Mapping Selection.
The measured values are available in the SIPROTEC 5 device in floating-point format, related to the parameter-
ized rated variables of the primary system in percentage.
Converting Measured Values

Before the transfer of a measured value through DNP3, the measured values must be converted in the
SIPROTEC 5 device. The measured values are scaled.
The scaling of a measured value determines the form of transmission. These forms of transmission are:
• Value type
• Scaling factor
Scaling Factor
The measured value is multiplied in the SIPROTEC 5 device by the scaling factor. The measured values are then
changed into integer measured values (for DNP3) in the floating-point procedure.
Through multiplication with a multiple of 10, decimal places can also be transferred into integer measured
values.
Calculation Formula for Integer Measured Values

The following conditions must be met for the calculation:
• The floating-point number (measured value Float) is available in the corresponding value type (primary or
secondary value).
• The floating-point number (measured value Float) is available as a percent value.
The integer measured value (measured value Integer) for the transmission through DNP3 is calculated according
to the following formula:
[fo_mwintr, 2, en_US]

Number Representation Depending on the Parameterization

If you determine the scaling of a measured value, then you first set the number format and the unit. The
number format contains the number of relevant decimal places.
Percent Values
For percent values, Siemens recommends a scaling factor of 100. This results in an interpretation of the
integer measured value (measured valueInteger) through DNP3 with a measured value from ± 32 767. This
corresponds with a percentage value of ± 327.67%.
Secondary Values
If, for example, the values from the transducer inputs are specified in mA, then the transmission of a meas-
ured value as a secondary value makes sense.
The number of significant decimal points depends on the system and transducer data.
Primary Values
The position of the decimal point and the respective unit are determined for primary values based on the
parameterized rated variables of the primary system.

The transport interface is a stream-oriented interface which does not define any start or stop mechanism for
the ASDUs of IEC 60870-5-101. In order to detect the start and end of the ASDUs, each APCI includes the
following delimiting elements, see Figure 4-1.
• A start character
• The specification of the length of the ASDU
• The control field

Either only the APCI field for control purpose or a complete APDU can be transferred, see Figure 4-2.

4.1.5 Redundancy
4.1.5.1 General
SIPROTEC 5 supports multiple master groups. Multiple master groups can increase the availability of the
communications system. Only 1 communication module supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol in the device
at one time.
Each master group can be an independent redundancy group as follows:
• Only 1 active main master and 1 backup master connected to the slave (SIPROTEC 5 device)
• Only test telegrams between the backup master and the slave
If a communication network implements redundancy, the selected redundant bus topology is always a combi-
nation of the following redundancies:
• Master redundancy
• Media redundancy
The 2 redundancies can be combined flexibly with each other. Therefore, there can be different bus and
redundancy topologies.
A communications system which includes both master and media redundancies is designated as a redundant
system. If there is an interruption of the cables or disconnection of the main master, the redundant system
can take over the work of the interrupted component.
4.1.5.2 Parameterization of a Redundant Communication
Media Redundancy
Media redundancy is the redundancy of the electrical or fiber-optic cable bus media and can be implemented,
for example, with the PRP protocol.
The following figure shows that an RTU communicates with a SIPROTEC 5 device via 2 cables. If the RTU or
SIPROTEC 5 device identifies an interruption in one cable, it can automatically switch to the other cable.
[dw_T104_media_redundancy, 1, en_US]
Figure 4-3 Media Redundancy
Master Redundancy
Master redundancy protects against a disconnection of the main master.
If the parameter Redundancy is on, a master redundancy is enabled. One master becomes the main master
while the other master is the backup master. You can find detailed configuration information in chapter

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 60870-5-104
4.2.1 Settings. Both of the masters communicate with the SIPROTEC 5 device. The main master transmits the
process data, and the backup master only transmits the test telegram.
If a disconnection of the main master occurs during ongoing operation, the backup master becomes the main
master. The action can also be executed with an IEC 60870-5-104 command.
[dw_T104_master_redundancy, 1, en_US]
Figure 4-4 Master Redundancy
You must set several parameters for a redundant communication in SIPROTEC 5. You can find more informa-
tion on the settings in chapter 4.2.1 Settings.

4.1.6 File Operation for Fault Record
In IEC 60870-5-104, the disturbance data are transferred as a COMTRADE file via file transfer.
The SIPROTEC 5 device supports COMTRADE 1999 and COMTRADE 2013. You can change the COMTRADE
revision with the parameter COMTRADE revision year.
• For COMTRADE 1999, a maximum of 8 pairs of the latest COMTRADE files (8 *.cfg and 8 *.dat files, 16
files in total) is available in the communication module.
• For COMTRADE 2013, a maximum of 8 pairs of the latest COMTRADE files (8 *.cfg, 8 *.dat, 8 *.inf, and
8 *.hdr files, 32 files in total) is available in the communication module.
NOTE
i The maximum size of the fault record file is 4.8 MB. If the maximum size is exceeded, the file transfer via
IEC 60870-5-104 does not succeed.
The .dat file is the largest of the COMTRADE files. You can calculate the file size of the .dat file with the
following formula:
FileSize = [10 bytes + (NumberOfAnalogChannels) ⋅ 2 bytes + (NumberOfBinaryChannels/8) ⋅ 1 byte] ⋅
SamplingFrequency ⋅ RecordingTime
You can read the fault-record directory via IOA = 10000.

For file operation, proceed as follows:

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 60870-5-104
• The IEC 60870-5-104 master sends a call directory command. The slave responds to this command and
shows all the disturbance-data files.
• The IEC 60870-5-104 master confirms the selected file. The transmission proceeds.
[sc_file_list, 1, --_--]
Figure 4-5 File List for COMTRADE 1999
NOTE
i COMTRADE 1999 supports at maximum 16 files (8 *.cfg and 8 *.dat files). The files start from 10001 to
10032. The latest file overwrites the eldest one.
The following example is based on COMTRADE 1999:
• 10001, 10005, ..., and 10029 are saved as *.cfg files (configuration file).
• 10002, 10006, …, and 10030 are saved as *.dat files (data file).
• 10029 and 10032 are always the latest files.
• 10001 and 10004, 10005 and 10008, …, 10029 and 10032 are combined as 1 complete COMTRADE
file.
• 10001 to 10032 are reserved for file transfer, which is not configured to IEC 60870-5-104 for other
purposes.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 60870-5-104
NOTE
i COMTRADE 2013 supports at maximum 32 files (8 *.cfg, 8 *.dat, 8 *.inf, and 8 *.hdr files). The files start
from 10001 to 10032. The latest file overwrites the eldest one.
The following example is based on COMTRADE 2013:
• 10001, 10005, ..., and 10029 are saved as *.cfg files (configuration file).
• 10002, 10006, ..., and 10030 are saved as *.dat files (data file).
• 10003, 10007, ..., and 10031 are saved as *.inf files (information file).
• 10004, 10008, …, and 10032 are saved as *.hdr files (header file).
• 10029, 10030, 10031, and 10032 are always the latest files.
• 10001, 10002, 10003, and 10004, …, 10029, 10030, 10031, and 10032 are combined as 1 complete
COMTRADE file.
• 10001 to 10032 are reserved for file transfer, which is not configured to IEC 60870-5-104 for other
purposes.
After the transmission is finished, the IEC 60870-5-104 master sends an acknowledgment request to the
device.

4.3 Interoperability
4.3.1 Overview
This chapter is for IEC 60870-5-104 experts and is not translated to other languages. It contains an interopera-
bility list for the functions supported by IEC 60870-5-104.
This companion standard presents sets of parameters and alternatives from which subsets must be selected
to implement particular telecontrol systems. Certain parameter values, such as the choice of “structured“ or
“unstructured“ fields of the INFORMATION OBJECT ADDRESS of ASDUs represent mutually exclusive alterna-
tives. This means that only one value of the defined parameters is admitted per system. Other parameters,
such as the listed set of different process information in command and in monitor direction allow the
specification of the complete set or subsets, as appropriate for given applications. This clause summarizes the
parameters of the previous clauses to facilitate a suitable selection for a specific application. If a system is
composed of equipment stemming from different manufacturers, it is necessary that all partners agree on the
selected parameters.
The interoperability list is defined as in IEC 60870-5-101 and extended with parameters used in this standard.
The text descriptions of parameters which are not applicable to this companion standard are strike-through
(corresponding check box is marked black).
Note: In addition, the full specification of a system may require individual selection of certain parameters
for certain parts of the system, such as the individual selection of scaling factors for individually addressable
measured values.
Function or ASDU is not used
Function or ASDU is used as standardized (default)
Function or ASDU is used in reverse mode
Function or ASDU is used in standard and reverse mode
The possible selection (blank, X, R, or B) is specified for each specific clause or parameter.
A black check box indicates that the option cannot be selected in this companion standard.

5.2 Sequence of Events
5.2.1 Overview
For SOE configuration in DIGSI 5, refer to chapter Indications, Page 75.
5.2.2 Properties of the Sequence of Event
The Modbus communication module has a sequence of event with entries of the type Message block. For
more information, refer to chapter 5.1.3.10 SOE (Sequence of Events).
A maximum number of 300 entries is allowed for SOE.
Characteristic
• The event recorder is a ring buffer.
• If buffer overflows, the current entry replaces the oldest entry.

The Modbus master is informed about a buffer overflow with a bit in the handshake register
SOE_Control. (refer to chapter 5.2.5 Handshake Mechanism).
• Events of the type single-point indication, double-point indication, and the transformer-tap indications
are accepted in the event recorder.
• When the object value changes, it is stored in the event record with a time stamp.
• After the device initiation or reboot, the event recorder is empty and then the startup values of the
objects are entered in the event recorder.
• If the communication fails, the event buffer is not erased. Entries are still saved and the Modbus
master reads the entries once the communication link is re-established (buffer overflow is indicated if
necessary).
• The Modbus master reads the entries of the event recorder (Message blocks) via Holding registers. The
entries must be acknowledged.
• After reading and acknowledging by the Modbus master, the transferred event recorder entries are
deleted from the event buffer.
5.2.3 Structure Holding Registers for Event Recorder
5.2.3.1 Overview
This chapter describes the Holding registers for reading and acknowledging the event-recorder entries.
The range in the Holding registers for reading and acknowledging the event-recorder entries consists of the
following:
• One register No. of Event recorder entries (read-only access)
• One handshake register SOE_Control (read/write access)
• 3 entries of the data type Message block (24 Holding registers in summary) for reading the event-
recorder entries (read-only access).

• SOE_Control (read/write)
• SOE_Control and Message block # 1 (read-only)
• SOE_Control, Message block # 1, Message block # 2, and Message block # 3 (read-only)

Additionally, the register No. of Event recorder entries can be read.
5.2.3.2 Register No. of Event Recorder Entries

The register No. of Event recorder entries contains the number of event-recorder entries in the event buffer
and the Holding registers which are not read yet.
Range of values: 0 (no entry at present in the event recorder) to 300
If the 3 areas in the Holding registers for transmission of the message blocks contain message blocks for
reading and if these were not given a receipt yet, these 3 areas count as event-recorder entries (in addition to
the parameterized No. of Event recorder entries).
5.2.3.3 Handshake Register SOE_Control (Read Access)

The individual bits of the handshake register SOE_Control have for read access the meaning indicated in
the following table. For detailed information about handshake mechanism, refer to chapter 5.2.5 Handshake
Mechanism

blocks
Sequence Number (Bits 0 to 7)
• With each transmission of Message blocks (entries from the event recorder, a maximum of 3 entries
per query), the Sequence number increases sequentially by 1, starting with 1 (00000001bin) up to 255
(11111111bin) and thereafter starting with 1 again.
• Only during the initialization or reboot of the SIPROTEC device the Sequence number has the initial
value 0. No entries are available in the event recorder yet. For transmission of the first entry, the
Sequence number increases by 1 and then never assumes the value 0 again (unless another initializa-
tion start or reboot occurs).
• If no indication changes are to transmit during a number of master queries, the Sequence number
remains unchanged during this time. The Modbus master then reads repeatedly the same last trans-
mitted Sequence number until new entries in the event recorder come. The Sequence number
increases by 1 when the new entry comes.
At the same time, the value of the Sequence number provides the acknowledgment that the Modbus
master has evaluated the read entries by writing back the value of the Sequence number to the SOE_Control
handshake register.
Number of Message Blocks (Bits 8 and 9)

There are 3 Message blocks for transmission of event-recorder entries available. The Number of Message
blocks indicates how many of them contain valid entries.
If none or less than 3 events/entries are to transmit, then the Register type in the unused Message blocks has
the value FFhex = 255dec.
Reserved (Bits 10 to 14)

The bits of the register SOE_Controlin input direction indicated as reserved are not used now.
At these positions, the value = 0 is transmitted
Buffer Overflow (Bit 15)

A set bit indicates an overflow of the event buffer.
If no new buffer overflow occurs in the meantime, the bit Buffer overflow is reset after the acknowledgment
of the current transmitted Message blocks.
5.2.3.4 Handshake Register SOE_Control (Write Access)

For write access, the individual bits of the handshake register SOE_Control have the meaning indicated in
the following table. For detailed information about handshake mechanism, refer to chapter 5.2.5 Handshake
Mechanism.

Acknowledgment of the reception is an evaluation of the read Message blocks.
The Modbus master reads SOE_Control and Message block. The master copies the Sequence number from
the SOE_Control and writes it back into SOE_Control as a reception.
As long as the Modbus master mirrors back the Sequence number to the registerSOE_Control in a faulty way,
the contents (Message blocks) read in last time are given back in the following query.
If a Sequence number is given for a receipt, further write accesses (without a renewed read access) are only
possible with the Sequence number read last or with Sequence number = 0.
The number of Message blocks is not evaluated at these write accesses.
An acknowledgment/write access with a faulty Sequence number (for example, unequal with the sequence
number read) is answered with Modbus exception 03 (ILLEGAL_DATA_VALUE).
Write accesses with Sequence number = 0 are always possible.
Then only the command bit Clear List is evaluated. If the associated bit is set, the command is executed.
Number of Message Blocks (Bits 8 and 9)

Bit 8 and Bit 9 indicate the reception of the number of the read Message blocks.
Together with the valid Sequence number, the Modbus master tells the Modbus slave how many event-
recorder entries, provided in the 3 Message blocks of the Holding registers, were read and evaluated.
Receipt Value in No. of Message Blocks Reaction
Equal to 0 The present Message blocks are offered for reading.
Furthermore, the Sequence number is incremented.
If less than 3 Message blocks are offered when the
Sequence number was read for the last time and
further entries are entered in the Event recorder in
the meantime, then a maximum of 3 Message blocks
can be read.
Less than the value No. of Message blocks read from The number of message blocks in the receipt from
SOE_Control register the master indicates how many message blocks have
been confirmed. The confirmed message blocks can
be deleted in the event buffer.
Not read Message blocks are moved up in the Holding
registers range for Message blocks and the remaining
Holding registers are filled with new entries from the
event list for reading, if necessary.
The Sequence number is incremented.

If there are further entries in the event recorder, then

Reserved (Bits 10 to 13)

The bits of the SOE_Control register in output direction indicated as reserved are not used now and are not
evaluated by the Modbus slave. At these positions, the value = 0 is transferred.
Start GS (Bit 14)

Always 0
Clear List (Bit 15)

Setting the bit Clear List deletes the event recorder.
All entries in the event recorder are lost. The register No. of Event recorder entries is set to 0.
The Modbus master transfers the bit in 2 ways:
• Transfer the bit in the next receiption of read Message block to the Modbus slave
• Transfer the bit by writing SOE_Control with Sequence number = 0

Deleting the event recorder does not lead to a reset of the Sequence number. The next (incremented)
Sequence number is used when the next Message blocks are to transmit.
The bit Clear list can be set to 1 by the Modbus master. That means, the Modbus slave can delete all the event
recorders without reception from the Modbus master.
5.2.4 Message Blocks
The entries of the event recorder are transferred via the Holding registers (with a maximum of 3 Message
blocks within one Modbus message).
The information in the handshake register SOE_Control shows how many Message blocks are offered for
reading in the Holding registers.
The data type Message block is described in the chapter 5.1.3.1 Single-Point Indications: SPS, ACT, ACD, ENS .
5.2.5 Handshake Mechanism
The Modbus master reads the register SOE_Control cyclically to determine, whether the event recorder
contains entries.
An incremented Sequence number in the register SOE_Control indicates new entries which are ready for
reading.
If new entries in the event recorder are recognized, the Modbus master reads the register SOE_Control again
and with a maximum of 3 Message blocks.
The maximum number of Message blocks in the Holding registers is indicated in the Number of Message
blocks of the previous read register SOE_Control. The Holding register contains valid data.
If Message blocks are already read during polling of SOE_Control, then they can be evaluated first.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Modbus
After evaluation of the Message blocks, the Modbus master gives a receipt to the Modbus slave. The Modbus
master gives the read Sequence number and the number of evaluated event-recorder entries back to the
register SOE_Control .
If further entries have to be read, the Modbus slave deletes the read and evaluated entries from the event
recorder and increments the Sequence number.
If a communication failure appears (for example, CRC error), then the master has to repeat the read access.
As long as no receipt is given with a write access to the register SOE_Control , event list data are not changed
or deleted in the Holding registers .
The described mechanism of polling, reading, evaluating, and giving a receipt continues now .
If the register No. of Event list entries is read with the register SOE_Control simultaneously, then it can be
estimated if and how many Message blocks are read with the next query to optimize read accesses.
5.2.6 Multi-Connection to Master via Modbus TCP

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 60870-5-103
6.1.1 Protocol Structure
6.1.1.1 Description
The protocol IEC 60870-5-103 is structured on the 3-layer model:
• Physical layer
• Data-link layer
• Application layer
6.1.1.2 Physical Layer

The physical layer specifies the transmission medium for the protocol.
Data transmission can be implemented as follows:
• Via optical fibers
• Via a wire-bound transmission system

The SIPROTEC 5 device supports both communication media. The wire-bound transmission takes place via an
RS485 interface.
6.1.1.3 Data-Link Layer

The connections between a substation automation and the protection device must be executed via an unbal-
anced link. This thereby prevents several protection devices from transmitting simultaneously.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol uses exclusively the format class FT 1.2 defined in IEC 60870-5-1 (transmission
formats). At the same time, formats with fixed and variable length as well as the single character E5H are
permissible.
The telegram with variable length is used for transmission of the user data between the monitoring and
monitored station and in the opposite direction.

IEC 60870-5-103
[dw_tgrvlg, 3, en_US]
Figure 6-1 Telegram with Variable Length
The telegram with fixed length is intended for services of the data-link layer. In special cases, this format with
fixed length is used as an acknowledgment instead of an individual character.
[dw_tgrflg, 3, en_US]
Figure 6-2 Telegram with Fixed Length
The individual character is used to acknowledge service data of the data-link layer and user data.
E5H = ACK: Positive acknowledgment
You can find more detailed information on the link address in chapter 6.2.1 Settings.
6.1.2 Application Layer
6.1.2.1 Description
The application layer describes the Data Units (Data Units (DU)) for the transport telegrams. The SIPROTEC 5
device supports the following functions:
• Standard DUs in monitoring direction
• Standard DUs in control direction

6.1.3 Redundancy
6.1.3.1 Redundancy Aspects in a Communications System

If redundancy has to be implemented in a communication network, the selected redundant bus topology will
always be a combination of the following redundancies:
• Master redundancy
These 2 redundancies can be combined independently of one another. As a result, several different bus and
redundancy topologies can arise.
If a communications system includes both redundancies, this will be designated as a redundant system. The
redundant system prevents an outage of the following components:
• Communication channel in the slave
• Power cable
• Communication master
The following table lists the functions of the primary channel as well as of the backup channel:

Fault transmission X X

6.1.3.2 Parametrization of a Redundant Communication

The SIPROTEC 5 device allows you to parameterize several communication channels via IEC 60870-5-103. In
this way, you can also parameterize a redundant connection. This redundancy can also be implemented via
various communication modules.
You can implement a master redundancy or a media redundancy. The selection is made via the parameter
Number of masters.
The parameter One master denotes media redundancy. The SIPROTEC 5 device is passive here. The master
communicates with the slave via a channel. If the master identifies an interruption in the communication
channel, it can automatically change to the other channel. The parameter Minimum duration of a
channel connection specifies the time until a new channel change by the master is possible.
[dw_medred, 1, en_US]
20 GA: General interrogation

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
IEC 60870-5-103
If 2 masters are parameterized, this represents a master redundancy. One master forms the primary master
while the other master is the backup master. Both communicate simultaneously with the SIPROTEC 5 device.
However, the following restrictions apply for the backup master:
• The time synchronization is possible via the backup master only if this channel is parameterized as the
second time source.
• Control via the backup master is not possible.

The parameter Primary channel after startup specifies the channel on which the primary master is
expected after the startup. In ongoing operation, the backup master can become the primary master. The
changeover is executed with an IEC 60870-5-103 command. You must specify the parameters necessary for
this (function type and information number) in the settings.
[dw_maredu, 1, en_US]
Figure 6-4 Master Redundancy
NOTE
i At full redundancy there are 4 channels with IEC 60870-5-103. However, you can only set parameters for
2 time sources.
For this reason, at full redundancy Siemens recommends selecting IEC 60870-5-103 as the 1st timing
master and a protocol-independent master, such as DCF, as the 2nd timing master.
6.1.4 Generic Services
6.1.4.1 Description
The generic services can be used to transmit data with different types and formats. At the same time, this data
can be read and written as well.
In the SIPROTEC 5 device the generic services are used for reading and changing the setting parameters of the
protection device.
The following services are supported in detail:
• General interrogation of generic data
• Reading an individual parameter
• Writing an individual parameter

The mapping description of the relevant device contains a list of changeable parameters.
The parameters refer to the active settings group.
Reading and writing are possible only in the active settings group.
6.1.4.2 General Interrogation of Generic Data

The general interrogation of generic data provides a list of all parameters which you can change via the
IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. The list also includes the current settings.
Siemens recommends that you carry out a general interrogation before any change to parameters.
The sequence is shown in the following figure.

attribute of an entry. The attribute is represented by its generic identification number.
The mapping description contains the assignment between the generic identification number and the param-
eter for the relevant device.

The function Writing an individual parameter prompts the protection device to record new values
for individual entries. The attribute is represented by its generic identification number.
The mapping description contains the assignment between the generic identification number and the param-
eter for the relevant device.
NOTE
i The SIPROTEC 5 device only writes one value in a telegram. Only a generic data description is supported
here:

The following figures show typical example telegrams for writing parameters. This involves a float parameter
and a text parameter. The mapping data (GIN) are examples. The exact GIN can be found in the mapping
description of the relevant device.
• Setting a float parameter:

The setting values in the device are mapped via the protocol to the float values to be transmitted. The
device's mapping file contains this mapping.
[dw_wrdepa, 1, --_--]

As only integral values are possible for the value indication (GID), you must indicate the values without a
comma.
• Setting a text parameter (for example, 50, 51 Phase Time Overcurrent) to OFF:

6.1.7 Fault Recording
Individual information can be selected from the fault recordings in the device and transmitted in the fault
record via IEC 60870-5-103.
The SIPROTEC 5 devices transmit the fault recording with the configurable function type. For more informa-
tion, refer to 6.2.1 Settings.
The function type 253 can be used to request fault records in any case.
The following maximum number of items can be transmitted via IEC 60870-5-103:
• Analog signals: 40
• Binary signals: 100

Up to 8 latest fault records can be stored for IEC 60870-5-103. This number can decrease if large fault records
(long recording time) are stored.
NOTE
i After the successful transmission, the fault records in the device are not deleted.

i The information number 20 is reserved together with the data unit (DU) 1 for the signal Block moni-
toring dir.. It is not permitted to route the information number 20 together with DU 1 to another
information object.
For the signal Block monitoring dir., Siemens recommends using the information number 20
together with the DU 1. Otherwise, the function type 100, information number 20, and DU 1 are used by
default.
Select Mapping
The standard mapping for IEC 60870-5-103 contains both routings specified by the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol
and Siemens-specific routings.
Commands
The commands are mapped in the same way as the indications. Only the parameter General interroga-
tion is deleted.
NOTE
i In the case of commands, the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol allows only direct switching. Selection is not
possible before switching. However, the protocol firmware simulates this cycle (select – operate) internally.

IEC 60870-5-103
NOTE
i The function type 100 is reserved together with the information number 10 for the switch between the
primary channel and the backup channel. If the function type 100 together with the information number
10 is routed to another controllable information object, it does not take effect.
Position in the Measured-Value Telegram

Up to 4 measured values can be routed in a DU 3 telegram.
Up to 16 measured values can be routed in a DU 9 telegram.
In total, you can route 1 DU 3 and 10 DU 9 telegrams. You can route a maximum 100 measured values.
When routing DU3 and DU9, the position must be successive and the routing starts from position 1.
Scaling Measured Values

The measured values are transferred as a percentage between the SIPROTEC 5 device and the
IEC 60870-5-103 master.
A measured value is resolved with 13 bits in the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. This is 212 - 1 = 4096. This integer
number is assigned to a measured value of 240 % (120 %) of the rated value. The maximum value (240 % or
120 %) can be set globally for all measured values.
The following example illustrates this situation: A current is to be transmitted. The rated current is 1000 A.
A current of 2400 A (240 %) corresponds to 8191. Therefore, the 1000 A current is transmitted with the
numerical value 1000/2400 * 4096 = 1707.
You can set parameters for the transmission threshold of every measured value independent of the protocol
used.
A detailed description can be found in the Device Manual in the Measured, Energy and Statistic Values
chapter and in the Operating Manual in the Setting and Resetting Energy Values chapter.
Converting Measured Values

The range of values of a measured value that can be transmitted is usually ±240 % or ±2.4 times the
standardized value.
The value in data units 3 and 9 has 13 bits (one sign, 12 data bits). This means that ±4096 corresponds to
±240 % (or 120 %) of a measured value.
Some measured values, however, do not comply with this definition:
• cos phi: -4096 means cos phi = -1; +4096 means cos phi = +1
• Isens real, Isens reactive: -4096 corresponds to Isens = -800 mA; +4096 corresponds to Isens = +800 mA
• Frequency: The rated frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) is 100 % and thus corresponds to 1706 when 4096 =
240 % or 3413 when 4096 = 120 %.

7.3 Parameterizing IO Controller 260

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
7.1.1 Description
PROFINET IO is an Ethernet-based communication protocol that can be used in all areas of communication
automation.
The data exchange of PROFINET IO follows the Provider/Consumer model. A configured PROFINET IO system
has the same look and feel as in PROFIBUS.
[dw_PRO_IO_device_new, 2, en_US]
Figure 7-1 Communication Paths for PROFINET IO
The following device classes are defined for PROFINET IO:
• PROFINET IO controller
A PROFINET IO controller is typically the programmable logic controller (PLC) on which the automation
program runs. The PROFINET IO controller provides output data to the configured IO devices in its role as
provider and is the consumer of input data of IO devices.
• PROFINET IO supervisor
A PROFINET IO supervisor can be a Programming Device (PD), a personal computer (PC), or a human-
machine interface (HMI). It serves for commissioning or diagnostic purposes and corresponds to a class-2
master in PROFIBUS.
• PROFINET IO device
A PROFINET IO device is a distributed IO field device that is connected to one or more IO controllers via
PROFINET IO. It is comparable to the function of a slave in PROFIBUS. The PROFINET IO device is the
provider of input data and the consumer of output data. The SIPROTEC 5 device works as the IO device.
System-level redundancy (S2) can only be achieved with the following modules with additional support of
transmission of sequence of events to the IO controller:
• ETH-BD-2FO
• ETH-BA-2EL (Rev. 2)
• ETH-BB-2FO (Rev. 2)
• ETH-YC-2FO
• ETH-YA-2EL
NOTE
i The SIPROTEC 5 device is an IO device. The alarm is not supported. The SIPROTEC 5 device does not support
an IP assignment from the IO controller.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
NOTE
i The SIPROTEC 5 device supports to send LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) telegrams to the connected
devices per 5 s cyclically, and does not support to receive or analyze LLDP telegrams from the connected
devices. Therefore the topological view of TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal) is not supported
in SIPROTEC 5 devices.
NOTE
i The SIPROTEC 5 device supports the communication with the following PROFINET-IO cycle time:
• 8 ms
• 16 ms
• 32 ms
• 64 ms
• 128 ms
• 256 ms
• 512 ms
NOTE
i PROFINET IO is not available when multiple IP interfaces or VLAN tagging is enabled in the communication
module.
A plant unit contains at least 1 IO controller and 1 or more IO devices. IO supervisors are integrated only
temporarily for commissioning or troubleshooting purposes.
The device model in the PROFINET IO protocol is based on the principles of PROFIBUS. It consists of slots
and groups of IO channels (subslots). The technical characteristics of the field devices are described in an
XML-based GSD (General Station Description) file.
Data in PROFINET networks is highly varied. Cyclical PROFINET IO data can be transmitted with high priority.
Network topologies in PROFINET derive from the requirements of the system to be networked. The most
common topologies are star, line, tree, and ring-shaped. In practice, the system is usually a mix of these
topologies.
Device Model of an IO Device

The device model describes all field devices in terms of their possible technical and functional features. It is
specified by the DAP (Device Access Point) and the defined modules for a particular device family. A DAP is the
access point for communication with the Ethernet interface and the processing program. In order to manage
the actual process-data traffic, a variety of IO modules can be assigned to it.
The following structures are standardized for an IO device:
• The slot designates the place where an IO module is inserted in a modular IO field device.
The configured modules containing 1 or more subslots for data exchange are addressed based on the
different slots.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
• Within a slot, the subslots form the actual interface to the process (inputs/outputs). The granularity of a
subslot (bitwise, bytewise, or wordwise division of IO data) is determined by the manufacturer.
The data content of a subslot is always accompanied by status information, from which the validity of the
data can be derived.
The index specifies the data within a slot/subslot that can be read or written acyclically via read/write
services. For example, parameters can be written to a module or manufacturer-specific module data can
be read out based on an index. Certain indices are defined in the standard, and other indices can be
freely defined by the manufacturer.
Cyclic IO data are addressed by specifying the slot/subslot combination. These can be freely defined by
the manufacturer. For acyclic data communication via read/write services, an application can specify the
data to be addressed using slot, subslot, and index.
[dw_IO_module_slot, 1, en_US]
Figure 7-2 Addressing of IO Data in PROFINET Based on Slots and Subslots
7.1.2 Device Identification
Each PROFINET IO device requires a unique device identification. This device identification consists of the
Vendor_ID and the Device_ID, with the Device_ID comprising the device class and device family.
The device identification for a PROFINET IO device in SIPROTEC 5 devices is:
0x002A0E02
and is composed as follows:
Table 7-1 Device Identification
Vendor_ID Device_ID
Device class Device family
0x002A 0E 02
(Siemens AG) (Protection and PQ) (SIPROTEC 5)
The device identification is stored, for example, in the GSDML file, see chapter 7.3.1 PROFINET IO Configura-
tion.

7.1.4 IO Modules
The IO modules described in the following tables are available for the PROFINET IO configuration of the
SIPROTEC 5 devices in the IO controller. For this purpose, the GSDML file, which contains the description of the
IO modules, is loaded into the parameterization software of the IO controller.
For SIPROTEC 5 devices with Ethernet modules ETH-BA-2EL (Rev. 1) and ETH-BB-2FO (Rev. 1), the IO module
Event List data is not available.

Figure 7-14 Parameterization Example
NOTE
i If an RJ45 SFP module is used together with an ETH-BB-2FO (Rev. 2) or ETH-BD-2FO module, the IO
controller must be configured with SIPROTEC5 with electrical interface. If an optical SFP module is used
together with an ETH-BB-2FO (Rev. 2) or ETH-BD-2FO module, then IO controller must be configured with
SIPROTEC5 with optical interface.

NOTE
i If a single SFP is plugged to an ETH-BB-2FO (Rev. 2) or ETH-BD-2FO, the IO controller must be configured
according to the plugged SFP.
Siemens recommends not using mixed SFPs in one ETH-BB-2FO (Rev. 2) or ETH-BD-2FO.
If SFPs are in different types in the same module, the IO controller must be configured based on the SFP in
the channel 1.
PROFINET IO Interface DAP (Device Access Point)

7.1.5 Assignment of IO Modules to SIPROTEC 5 Data Objects
The following components and dependencies are involved in an access to the device data via PROFINET IO:
• Mapping of SIPROTEC 5 data objects to PROFINET IO
• IO modules for PROFINET IO parameterization

Figure 7-16 Parameterization Example of Assigning the IO Modules to SIPROTEC 5 Data Objects
EXAMPLE
The SIPROTEC 5 device provides 18 measured values (MV#1 to MV#18). However, only 12 measured values
can be transmitted if one of the following options is set at the IO controller:
• 2 IO modules Measured values 06 from the GSDML file of the SIPROTEC 5 device
• 1 IO module Measured values 12 from the GSDML file of the SIPROTEC 5 device
To transmit all 18 measured values, set the IO modules with one of the following options:
• 3 IO modules Measured values 06 from the GSDML file of the SIPROTEC 5 device
• 2 IO modules, one with Measured values 12 and the other with Measured values 06 from the GSDML
file of the SIPROTEC 5 device
Mapping of SIPROTEC 5 Data Objects to PROFINET IO

The mapping describes all SIPROTEC data objects which are sent or received via communication, and defines
their position or identification in PROFINET IO.
Each PROFINET IO data object is assigned a PROFINET IO mapping data-object number, starting at 1 for each
data type (for example, MV#1, see Figure 7-15).
IO Modules for PROFINET IO Parameterization

For information in the maximum data volume per data type for the data exchange, refer to chapter
7.1.10 Amount of Mappable Information. The preset data-object assignments or the assignments entered
during parameterization in DIGSI define the data at the individual mapping positions.
Only such data is transmitted via PROFINET IO which is represented by the respective IO modules:
• For the IO module Event List data, the sequence of event is represented based on the data-object
numbers in the message blocks, see Figure 7-12.
• For other IO modules, the assignment of the data content to the PROFINET IO data object always starts at
the smallest PROFINET IO mapping data-object number, see Figure 7-15.
A maximum of 18 IO modules can be set in parameterization software of IO controller. Only 1 IO module for
event list can be included.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
The IO modules of one type do not have to follow directly one after another in the IO controller parameteriza-
tion software.
IO modules which cannot be assigned to any PROFINET IO object are left unconsidered during the further data
exchange.
7.1.6 Event List
7.1.6.1 Overview
The event list is an autonomous ring buffer in the PROFINET IO communication module, in which value
changes (only single-point and double-point indications) are recorded with a time stamp. These time stamps
can be transmitted via cyclic data exchange using the handshake method (read/acknowledge) described in
chapter 7.1.6.4 Handshake Mechanism.
The event list is empty after an initial start or restart of the SIPROTEC 5 device. Non-transmitted indications are
lost during the initial start or the restart of the SIPROTEC 5 device.
Only such indications of the SIPROTEC 5 device which are also included in the cyclic PROFINET IO telegram in
the input direction are recorded in the event list when values change.
The event list can contain a maximum of 500 entries. When adding a new entry to a full event list, the oldest
entry is deleted and the IO controller is notified of a buffer overflow with a bit in the handshake byte Control_I
in input direction.
The event list is not deleted when communication is interrupted. Entries for indication changes are still
stored and transmitted to the IO controller (including buffer overflow identification) after the communication
connection restores.
The event-list entries are transmitted to the IO controller in the message blocks of the PROFINET IO telegram
and must be acknowledged by the IO controller (see chapter 7.1.6.4 Handshake Mechanism).
The data types and the handshake mechanism used are proprietary, because PROFINET IO does not offer an
event list by default. The event-list handshake mechanism is a part of the cyclic data exchange.
In the GSDML file of the SIPROTEC 5 devices, the event list is defined as an autonomous IO module, see
chapter 7.1.4 IO Modules.
7.1.6.2 Input Direction
[dw_input_direction_event_list, 1, en_US]
Figure 7-17 Structure of the Event List Data, Input Direction (Read)

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
Message-Block Number of the Event List

The transmission of message blocks starts with message block 1. The message-block number increases by 1
for each transmission of message blocks until reaching 15. Then, the transmission starts again with message
block 1. In each transmission, a maximum of 3 entries from the event list is transmitted.
If the event list does not contain any entry when initializing or restarting the SIPROTEC 5 device, the message-
block number only has the initial value 0. After the first entry is transmitted to the event list and the associated
message-block number increases for the next entry, the value 0 is not assigned anymore.
If the telegram contains no entry or less than 3 entries in the event list, the unused message blocks are filled
with 0.
The message-block number remains constant when there is no indication change included in the transmission.
In this case, the message-block number in the last transmission is transmitted repeatedly until new entries are
made in the event list.
Buffer Overflow of the Event List

The buffer overflow of the event list sets a bit as 1. This bit is reset when the buffer overflow no longer exists.
Message Block #1 through Message Block #3

For more information, refer to chapter 7.1.3.11 Data Type Message Block for Event List (SOE, Input).
7.1.6.3 Output Direction
[dw_output_direction_event_list, 1, en_US]
Figure 7-18 Structure of the Event List Data, Output Direction (ACK)
Message-Block Number
The message-block number in the Control_O byte serves for reception acknowledgement and analysis of
the message block. After having analyzed the message blocks, the PROFINET IO controller copies the message-
block number of the Control_I byte of the input telegram to the Control_O byte of the output telegram.
The SIPROTEC 5 device repeats the respective message block until the IO controller correctly mirrors back the
message-block number of the Control_I byte into the Control_O byte.
7.1.6.4 Handshake Mechanism

In the following example of the event-list handshake mechanism, the initial situation is defined as follows:
• 3 message blocks were last transmitted and acknowledged by the IO controller.
• The current message-block number is 14dec = Ehex.
• There is still one entry in the event list.

i Several PROFINET IO bus cycles can lie between a new telegram from the IO device and the data analysis
by the IO controller. So the arrows do not indicate a bus cycle but the direction of the higher-level telegram
exchange.

7.1.7 Acyclic Reading of Data
7.1.7.1 Reading Unit IDs of Measured Values and Metered Values

An acyclic read telegram is defined for reading units. The order of the values in the telegram corresponds to
the order of the values in the IO module.
[dw_acyclic_data_telegram, 1, en_US]
Figure 7-19 Acyclic Data Telegram and Reading Unit IDs
Number of Values
There are 2 optional IO modules available for measured values: 6 or 12 measured values for each module.
There is only 1 IO module which is available for 4 metered values.
Unit ID #1 to Unit ID #n
The telegram always only contains as many unit IDs as entered in the byte Number of values. This also
determines the length of the telegram.
The definition of the unit IDs is described in chapter 7.1.3.10 Unit IDs, Units, and Unit Multipliers.
7.1.8 Executing Switching Operations via PROFINET IO
7.1.8.1 Command Output Types for Switchgear Control

The SIPROTEC 5 device supports Single command and Double command. They are controlled via PROFINET IO
consistently using 2 bits of the PROFINET IO output telegram (see chapter 7.1.3.3 Data Type Single Command
(SPC, Output) and chapter 7.1.3.4 Data Type Double-Point Indication (DPS, Input)).
A command can be issued in the SIPROTEC 5 device as persistent output or as pulse output.
Persistent Outputs
If a value transition (signal edge) from intermediate state or OFF to ON is detected via PROFINET IO for
the associated bit pair, the commands are issued in the continuous output mode (controlled). The commands
remain activated until a value transition occurs from intermediate state or ON to OFF via PROFINET IO.
You can find the definitions of the values for intermediate state, ON, and OFF in chapter 7.1.3.3 Data
Type Single Command (SPC, Output) and chapter 7.1.3.4 Data Type Double-Point Indication (DPS, Input).
Pulse Outputs
The SIPROTEC 5 device independently issues a control pulse for switching a switchgear, including the observa-
tion of the parameterized times.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
The switching operation (pulse output via the assigned binary outputs of the SIPROTEC 5 device) is executed
when a value change of the associated bit pair is transmitted in the PROFINET IO output telegram:
• For double commands from intermediate state or ON to OFF or from intermediate state or
OFF to ON
• For single commands from intermediate state to ON
NOTE
i The switching direction OFF for single commands with pulse output is not permitted and is rejected in the
SIPROTEC 5 device.
7.1.8.2 Recommended Transmission of Commands via PROFINET IO

If a corresponding value change is detected at the associated bit positions of the IO module in the PROFINET
IO output telegram, outputs are only set via PROFINET IO in the SIPROTEC 5 device. You can find more
information in chapter 7.1.8.1 Command Output Types for Switchgear Control.
NOTE
i A value change at the associated bit position in the PROFINET IO telegram triggers a command processing
operation in the SIPROTEC 5 device. However, this does not mean that the associated output actually takes
the set point value. For example, the setting of an output caused by interlocking can be rejected. The
feedback of a switching device should be read back for monitoring purposes.
If the bit combination for a command changes and the bit value for ON or OFF is still transmitted (statically)
in the cyclic output telegram, this has no consequences in the SIPROTEC 5 device while communication is
running.
A statically set bit combination for ON or OFF may cause undesirable command executions when communica-
tion is restored in the event of communication interruptions (see chapter 7.1.9 Behavior When Communica-
tion to IO Controller is Faulted) or STOP of the PLC (see chapter 7.3.2.2 PLC in STOP during Communication
with SIPROTEC 5 Device) or when the PLC switches from STOP to RUN.
Siemens therefore recommends transmitting switching operations in SIPROTEC 5 devices via PROFINET IO by
using a pulse over the bus:
• Intermediate state (00) → ON (10) → intermediate state (00) for switching on
• Intermediate state (00) → OFF (01) → intermediate state (00) for switching off
The pulse duration (period during which the bit combinations for ON or OFF apply) should be at least 3 times
the set cycle time of the IO device (reference value at least approx. 100 ms).
7.1.8.3 Multiple Command Output

Command processing in the SIPROTEC 5 device operates in a 100-ms cycle. This includes:
• Command checking
• Command output
• Feedback monitoring
• Generating positive or negative command feedback

If a positive command feedback has been issued, which is also entered as a change of the value of the
switchgear position in the cyclic input telegram via PROFINET IO, command processing remains active for one
cycle maximum (100 ms).
As the SIPROTEC 5 device does not process several commands in parallel, an additional command, which is
received within an active command processing, is rejected and is not executed.
If it is desired that the IO controller issues 2 or more commands directly one after another, a time delay of
100 ms must be observed after reception of the positive command feedback in the cyclic input data until
issuing of the next command. This ensures that the subsequent command is executed in a reliable way.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
7.1.8.4 Behavior During Special Operating Conditions
• The IO controller detects a change of the switchgear position not initiated by the IO controller (for
example, circuit-breaker trip) by the change of the value of the switchgear position in the associated bit
positions of the input telegram.
If, for example, the IO controller wants to restart the switchgear that was switched off locally, it must
first transmit the ACTUAL value (OFF) or intermediate state via PROFINET IO and can subsequently
restart the switchgear by setting the TARGET value (ON).
• The IO controller detects when a switching operation requested via PROFINET IO cannot be executed,
because the switching authority is set to LOCAL, for example, or the associated bay interlocking is
not satisfied. The IO controller recognizes this because the feedback of the double command/single
command in the PROFINET IO input telegram is not updated according to the TARGET switch position
(activate a feedback monitoring time in the IO controller if necessary).
Before a new switching attempt, the ACTUAL switch position for switchgear must first be transmitted
again according to the input telegram or intermediate state in the output telegram.
• You can find information on the behavior during communication interruptions in chapter 7.1.9 Behavior
When Communication to IO Controller is Faulted.
7.1.9 Behavior When Communication to IO Controller is Faulted
The following behavior is defined for SIPROTEC 5 devices when the communication to the IO controller is
interrupted:
After Having Recognized that the Connection Is Interrupted
• The marking Channel Live in the SIPROTEC 5 device is set to OFF (logging in the operational log,
processing in CFC possible).
• The state of the outputs or switchgear has not changed compared to the state before communication
interruption.
After the Communication Has Been Restored
• The marking Channel Live in the SIPROTEC 5 device is set to ON (logging in the operational log,
processing in CFC possible).
• The data from the telegrams again received by the IO controller is taken over (if permitted by the
switching authority and the interlocking specifications).
If you do not want the switchgear positions of the SIPROTEC 5 devices to be affected after the connection
between the IO controller and IO device has been restored, intermediate state (value 00) must be issued
in the associated bit positions in the output telegram, or the switching authority must be set to (LOCAL).
The following information can be mapped:

Indication + controllable at Tx (Tx: transfer direction) 500
Controllable at Rx (Rx: receive direction) 20
Settings at Tx Not available
Metered values 10

NOTE
i Siemens recommends configuring the signals according to the table and the following suggestion.
If the addresses (value in DIGSI mapping matrix) of the same type signal are not continuous, the range
should be less than the maximum mappable amount in the preceding table.
NOTE
i Avalanche scenarios with many process changes (for example, 100 per second) are supported.
7.1.11 Redundancy
7.1.11.1 General
If a communication network which uses the PROFINET IO protocol implements redundancy, the selected
redundant topology is always a combination of the following redundancies:
• System redundancy
The 2 redundancies can be combined flexibly with each other. Therefore, there can be different redundancy
topologies.
A communications system which includes both system and media redundancies is designated as a redundant
system. If there is an interruption of the cables or disconnection of the primary channel, the redundant system
can take over the work of the interrupted component.
Media Redundancy
Media redundancy is the redundancy of the electrical or fiber-optic cable and can be implemented with, for
example, the PRP redundancy protocol. Figure 7-20 shows an example.
[dw_medred_profinet, 1, en_US]
NOTE
i SIPROTEC 5 devices do not support MRP redundancy defined in the PROFINET IO standard.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
System Redundancy
System redundancy is the redundancy of the IO controller or the communication interface of the IO device.
Figure 7-21 shows an example where 1 IO device connects to 2 different IO controllers. The IO device
maintains an active communication with one of the IO controllers as primary controller, and the other one as
the stand-by controller.
[dw_sysred_profinet, 1, en_US]
Figure 7-21 System Redundancy
7.1.11.2 S2 Redundancy
S2 redundancy is a type of system redundancy. With the S2 redundancy, an IO device communicates via one
interface with 2 IO controllers. One IO controller acts as the primary IO controller while the other acts as the
backup IO controller.
The following table lists the functions of the primary and backup controllers:
Service Primary Controller Backup Controller
Command X –
Read process data X –
Read I&M data 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 X X
Write I&M data 1, 2, 3, 4 X –
Read unit IDs X X
In the ongoing operation, the backup IO controller can become the primary IO controller.
The switchover between the primary and backup IO controllers occurs in following scenarios:
• There is a cable interruption or a disconnection of the primary IO controller.

Then, the backup IO controller sends a primary request. When the IO device acknowledges the primary
request, the previous backup IO controller becomes the primary IO controller.
• The IO controllers request to execute a switchover.

Then, the backup IO controller sends the primary request to the IO device while the primary IO controller
sends the backup request to the IO device. The switchover finishes when the IO device acknowledges the
primary and backup requests.
At any time, the IO device recognizes only one controller as the primary IO controller. This controller is always
the one that most recently sends the primary request to the IO device.
For the S2 redundancy, no parameter needs to be set in the IO device. You can find the switchover settings of
the IO controllers in the GSDML file. In the parameterization software of the IO controller, you need to connect
1 SIPROTEC 5 device with 2 IO controllers.
For more information on the parameterization software and the configuration file, refer to chapter

7.3 Parameterizing IO Controller
7.3.1 PROFINET IO Configuration
The SIPROTEC IO device is configured using the parameterization software of the IO controller. For this
purpose, the GSDML file of the SIPROTEC IO device is loaded into the parameterization software of the
IO controller. This file contains the descriptions of the device properties, the configuration options of the
Ethernet module with PROFINET IO, and the parameters involved in system redundancy. The GSDML file
is available on the following Internet page: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109740816/

Observe the following information concerning the configuration when using the SIPROTEC 5 devices via
PROFINET IO in combination with Siemens S7 PLC and the Step7 parameterization software.
You can find more information for Siemens S7 PLC and the Step7 parameterization software on the following
Internet page: https://support.automation.siemens.com/.
7.3.2.2 PLC in STOP during Communication with SIPROTEC 5 Device

If the PLC is switched from RUN to STOP or switches to STOP due to an internal PLC program response during
PROFINET IO communication with the SIPROTEC 5 device, the running PROFINET IO communication between
the IO controller of the PLC and the IO device of the SIPROTEC 5 device remains active. Cyclic data exchange
continues, that is, communication is not interrupted.
For all IO modules in output direction, however, the IOPS (IO Provider Status) from the PLC is set to bad and
the data of these IO modules are transmitted with all values equaling zero.
When changing from RUN to STOP, the status of the outputs in the SIPROTEC 5 device remains in the status
during RUN.
The tagging SysIntErr. in the SIPROTEC 5 device (see chapter 7.1.9 Behavior When Communication to IO
Controller is Faulted) is not set.
During transition from STOP to RUN, the data from the cyclic telegrams are accepted and output for the IO
modules in output direction once the IO controller has restored the IOPS for these IO modules to good.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
PROFINET IO
If you want the outputs of the SIPROTEC 5 device to remain unaffected during transition from STOP to RUN,
the intermediate state (value 00) is to be output at the associated bit positions in the output telegram.
You can find more information on executing switching operations in chapter 7.1.8 Executing Switching
Operations via PROFINET IO).
7.3.2.3 Periphery Access Commands

The S7-CPUs can access data received by the connected devices via PROFINET IO or write data to these devices
using periphery access commands in the CPU program.
To read a measured value (float value, 4 bytes, see chapter 7.1.3.6 Measured Values) from the SIPROTEC 5
device, the command L PID x is used, for example, with x denoting the address of the measured value in the
periphery address space of the S7-CPU.
To read, for example, 5 measured values, the preceding instruction must be executed 5 times with the
associated addresses. After each reading operation, the values must be processed or copied in a data block for
subsequent processing in the program, for example:
• L PID x
• T DB10.DBD y etc.
The measured value read from address x is written to element y of data block DB10 assuming that DB10 is a
data block with inputs of the type REAL.
7.3.2.4 Reading and Writing Data with SFC14 and SFC15

The S7 system functions SFC14 (DPRD_DAT) and SFC15 (DPWR_DAT) in the CPU program can also be used to
transmit data instead of periphery access commands. This is possible for data within an IO module.
To read, for example, all 12 measured values of an IO module measured values 12 in one call and transmit
them into a data block, proceed as follows:
² Create a data block to accommodate the data to be read (with 12 REAL values).
² Call SFC14:
CALL SFC14
LADDR: = W#16#200 // IO module address, for example, 512, hexadecimal
RET_VAL: = MW100 // for example, flag word 100 as return value
RECORD: = P#DB10.DBX0.0 BYTE 48 // 12 values = 48 bytes to DB10, for example
If the destination data block contains more information than only the 12 measured values and if these do
not start at data-block byte 0, you can also start copying at this offset, for example with:
CALL DPRD_DAT
LADDR: = W#16#200
RET_VAL: = MW100
RECORD: = P#DB10.DBX24.0 BYTE 48 // 48 bytes to DB10, for example, starting from byte 24
7.3.2.5 Reading and Writing Acyclic Data with SFB52

The SIPROTEC IO device offers acyclic datasets (see chapter 7.1.7 Acyclic Reading of Data) that can be read or
written with the following system function blocks in the S7 SPS:
• Reading unit IDs → reading with SFB52 (RDREC)

Reading the unit IDs of an IO module measured value 12 is illustrated using the following example.
The SFB52 operates asynchronously, that is, reading the acyclic data can last several PLC user cycles.
Define the structure of the dataset to be read in a data block, for example DB11:
SFB52 Call
The data block DB52 is required as instance DB for calling SFB52. If it does not exist yet, you are prompted
automatically whether to generate DB52 when entering the example shown in the following section.
You can use other flags or data blocks instead of those used in the example (DB11, M10, MD21, MW25, and
MW100).

MLEN := 26 // Length of the data to be read, see chapter 7.1.7.1 Reading Unit IDs of Measured

VALID := M10.0 // SFB52 return value: TRUE = dataset was read
BUSY := M10.1 // SFB52 return value: TRUE = reading in process
ERROR := M10.2 // SFB52 return value: TRUE = read error
STATUS := MD21 // SFB52 return value: error code
LEN := MW25 // SFB52 return value: length of the read // Information in bytes
RECORD := P#DB11.DBX0.0 BYTE 26 // Destination for the read data
In the example, M10.3 = TRUE triggers reading of the unit IDs.

M10.1 and M10.2 are used to check in each subsequent PLC user cycle whether the reading process is still
running or whether an error has occurred.
If the reading process has been completed, M10.0 indicates that the dataset has been read successfully and
that the data are available in the destination data block.
Acyclic data (for example to preset metered values or statistical values) is accomplished with SFB53 in a
similar way to the SFB52 example for reading:
• Define the structure of the dataset to be written in a data block
• Specify the data to be written in the data block

Optical PPS using USART Plug-In Modules
8.1 Receiving of Optical PPS
8.1 Receiving of Optical PPS

A dedicated USART-AD-1FO or USART-AE-2FO plug-in module is required as interface to receive the optical PPS.
The connection of the optical PPS signal must be applied on the Rx interface (ST connector) of the selected
channel.
[dw_USART-AD-1FO_AE-2FO, 1, --_--]
Figure 8-1 Plug-In Module USART-AD-1FO (on the Left), USART-AE-2FO (on the Right)
PPS can be used for:
• Line-differential applications to stabilize unbalanced protection interface communication paths
• Sample synchronization of process-bus applications (merging unit/process-bus client)

Received signals at the Rx connector are immediately, without any delay, mirrored to the Tx connector. In this
way, several devices can be cascaded.

8.2 Generation of Optical PPS
8.2 Generation of Optical PPS

A dedicated USART-AD-1FO or USART-AE-2FO plug-in module is required as interface to generate the optical
PPS. With the PPS Generator function, a free running optical PPS is sent on the Tx interface (ST connector).
The light-on duration is 0.1 s and the light-off duration is 0.9 s. The Rx interface has no functionality in the PPS
mode Generator.
The generated PPS is also used internally from the device for sample synchronization (rising light-on edge).
The PPS Generator function can be used to synchronize a couple of devices like merging units without an
external synchronization reference.

8.4 Application and Setting Notes

Parameter: Sync. latency PPS (only for PPS Receiver)
• Default setting () Sync. latency PPS = 0

With the parameter Sync. latency PPS, you can move the received PPS signal to the past. This is required
to compensate a possible delay during the distribution of the PPS signal. The PPS signal can be delayed, for
example, by cables or star couplers which are part of the distribution chain. The typical delay caused by the
fiber-optic cables can be calculated and is about 5 ns/m. For external PPS distribution equipment, you can find
the latency for PPS signals in the according technical data. The latency must be compensated. All delays must
be added and entered as Sync. latency PPS.
Parameter: Light idle state (on/off)
• Default setting () Light idle state (on/off) = off

The parameter Light idle state (on/off) defines, if the trigger for a new second is the light-on or
light-off edge of the received PPS signal.
off Trigger light-on edge
on Trigger light-off edge
NOTE
i In the PPS Generator mode, this parameter is read only and is set to off.
Parameter: Assumed SmpSynch
• Default setting () Assumed SmpSynch = global

The parameter Assumed SmpSynch defines the interpretation of a received PPS signal according to
IEC 61850-9-2, Edition 2.1, paragraph "9 Synchronization".
global The PPS signal is assumed to be received from a device, synchronized to the
required accuracy to a global time reference.
Notice: The device is not able to distinguish between the PPS synchroniza-
tion states local and global. If the synchronization state of a received
PPS signal is not global, maloperation of protection functions is possible!
local The PPS signal is assumed to be received from a device, not synchronized to
the required accuracy to a global time reference.
NOTE
i In the PPS Generator mode, the parameter Assumed SmpSynch becomes read-only and is set to local.
NOTE
i If the Assumed SmpSynch is set to global, the PPS source must be parameterized to stop sending PPS
signals if the conditions for a global synchronization state are not fulfilled, for example, loss of GPS.

There are 3 ways to connect from DIGSI to a device:
• Via USB
• Via the integrated Ethernet interface (Port J)
• Via an Ethernet communication module.
NOTE
i Only a SIPROTEC 5 device can be connected with DIGSI via USB.

Use the Ethernet interfaces for connections to several SIPROTEC 5 devices.
An IP-based internal Siemens protocol is used for data transmission between DIGSI and a SIPROTEC 5 device.
DIGSI and the SIPROTEC 5 device are authenticated via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The necessary certificates
are contained in the device or DIGSI upon delivery.
You can find more information on the diagnostic pages in DIGSI in chapter 11.1.5 Diagnostic Information for
IEC 61850.
Security Settings
The security settings allow you to restrict the access rights for each Ethernet interface (Port J and Ethernet
communication module).
You define the security settings in DIGSI in the Project tree under Safety and Security → Restricted access.
You can assign the following access rights:
• No access:
This interface allows no DIGSI communication.
• Read-only access:
This interface only allows read access to the device.

10.4 DCP Protocol
10.4 DCP Protocol
10.4.1 DCP
The Discovery and Basic Configuration Protocol (DCP) is used for automatic recognition of devices without a
configured IP address. DIGSI 5 can find all SIPROTEC 5 devices in the network using DCP.
DCP is not required for the functionality of communication protocols. The protocol can however in parallel be
configured for a DIGSI Life List functionality.
The DIGSI Life List shows the connected devices. You can monitor and process these devices via the DIGSI Life
List.
If you also desire a DIGSI Life List functionality through the LAN, then you must activate DCP.
If you create a new device in DIGSI or add an Ethernet communication module to the device, DCP is activated.
If you change this recommended default and want to switch off the DIGSI Life List functionality in the device,
deactivate the DCP check box in the channel settings of the Ethernet communication module or for the
integrated Ethernet interface.
NOTE
i If you have deactivated the DIGSI access via the communication module and the integrated Ethernet
interface in the security settings (see chapter 10.3 DIGSI 5 Protocol ), a DIGSI connection via DCP is also not
possible.
10.4.2 Network Settings and Device Name
You can change the network settings of the Ethernet module and the name of the PROFINET IO device by
using DCP. The DCP service is in conflict to the original one in DIGSI 5. If you configure the PROFINET IO
protocol on the communication module in DIGSI 5, you must disable the original DCP. Use the Primary Setup
Tool stated in Figure 10-2 for this purpose.
NOTE
i The Ethernet module with PROFINET IO does not support the DIGSI DCP service.
The Ethernet module with PROFINET IO does not support DHCP.
If no valid configuration exists for PROFINET IO, access to the device via DCP is also possible.

10.5 SNTP
10.5 SNTP
10.5.1 Protocol Description
The Simple Network Time Protocol is used to synchronize clocks via the Internet. With SNTP, client computers
can synchronize their clocks with a time server via the Internet.
SNTP enables a time resolution of 1 ms. When considering similar runtimes, SNTP can determine the average
runtime of a synchronization telegram between the client and the server in the Ethernet network. This
transmission time can be taken into account in the terminal device and improves synchronization of terminal
devices.
SNTP is available for the integrated Ethernet interface (Port J) and in all Ethernet communication modules.
SNTPv3 and SNTPv4 are supported.
Time Server in the Network

For time synchronization via Ethernet according to SNTP, a time server must be present in the network. 1 or
2 time servers are supported. This time server must also be able to address the different time requirements of
the devices as defined in SNTP. Time servers can be reached through an IP address.
The following SNTP settings can be configured:
Parameter Name Settings Default Setting
Time source 1 IP address of the SNTP server 10.16.60.1
Time source 2 IP address of the redundant SNTP server 10.16.60.2
If no 2nd SNTP server is available, you can leave the default
setting for the time source 2 unchanged.
Time interval SNTP server inquiry time interval 15 s
Time interval: 15 s to 60 s
Start time The time reference when the device queries the time for the first 20 s
time after the device is started up.
Time interval: 1 s to 3600 s
If the 1st SNTP server configured in the network can not be reached, the 2nd SNTP server is automatically
queried with ARP requests. If the 2nd SNTP server is configured in a different sub-network from the 1st SNTP
server, make sure that ARP requests can be routed. If the 2nd SNTP server can not be reached via ARP requests,
the switchover to the backup server fails, and the device reports a synchronization failure.
10.5.2 Setting the Parameters for Time Synchronization
For the purpose of time synchronization, activate SNTP on the Ethernet communication module or on the
integrated Ethernet interface.
² To activate SNTP on the Ethernet module, select the Ethernet communication module in the Device view.
² Place a check mark at SNTP under Channel 1 settings in the Network protocols section.

10.6 IEEE 1588
10.6 IEEE 1588
10.6.1 Protocol Description
The IEEE 1588 protocol is used for the synchronization of clocks via network communication.
SIPROTEC 5 allows 5 clock types:
• OC Slave Only (OCSO)

OC Slave Only stands for Ordinary Clock Slave Only. This kind of clock is used for high accuracy
time‑synchronization (1 μs). If there is OC Slave Only, the PTP (PTP Protocol) port or port pair never
changes into the master state.
• P2P TC
P2P TC stands for Peer-to-Peer Transparent Clock. This kind of clock corrects and forwards PTP event
messages within the PTP domain.
• OCSO and P2P TC

OCSO and P2P TC stands for Ordinary Clock Slave Only and Peer-to-Peer Transparent Clock. This kind
of clock is a composition of OC Slave Only and P2P TC. OCSO and P2P TC is used for the time
synchronization and the forwarding of PTP messages.
• OCGC
OCGC stands for Ordinary Clock Grandmaster Capable. This kind of clock is used as a grandmaster-capable
clock. If there is OCGC, the PTP port or port pair can either be in the MASTER state and become the
grandmaster of the PTP domain or in the SLAVE state. The MASTER or SLAVE state is determined as a
result of the execution of the best master clock (BMC) algorithm.
• OCGC and P2P TC

OCGC and P2P TC stands for Ordinary Clock Grandmaster Capable and Peer-to-Peer Transparent Clock.
This clock type is a composition of OCGC and P2P TC. OCGC and P2P TC is used as a grandmaster-
capable clock and to forward PTP messages.
NOTE
i The SIPROTEC 5 devices do not support PTP messages that have VLAN tags.
NOTE
i The time reference for SIPROTEC 5 OCGC and OCGC and P2P TC is from the device-internal oscillator,
rather than any external time source.
If multiple instances of OCGC or OCGC and P2P TC are used in one device, all instances are synchronized
from the same device-internal oscillator.

10.6.2 Structure of the Protocol
After you enable IEEE 1588 on the module ETH-BA-2EL (Rev. 2), ETH-BB-2FO (Rev. 2), or ETH-BD-2FO, the
following function blocks are created:
• IEEE 1588
• IEEE 1588 TC
• IEEE 1588 Chan

These function blocks correspond to the following logical nodes:
• LTPC, Ordinary Clock model specified in IEC TR 61850-90-4:2020
• LTTC, Transparent Clock model specified in IEC TR 61850-90-4:2020
• LCCH
No matter which clock type is configured, all the 3 logical nodes (function blocks) are always visible and
healthy.
However, corresponding logical nodes are enabled or disabled according to the clock type configured:
• The logical node LTPC represents the PTP clock type OC Slave Only or OCGC. For pure OC Slave Only or
OCGC configurations, the logical node LTTC is disabled and does not create any information. The signal
Health of a disabled function always has the value OK.
• The logical node LTTC represents the PTP clock type P2P TC. For pure P2P TC configurations, the logical
node LTPC is disabled and does not create any information. The signal Health of a disabled function
always has the value OK.
• LCCH is always enabled for downward compatibility.

If IEEE 1588 is disabled, the 3 function blocks and logical nodes are deleted.
10.6.3 Configurations of the IEEE 1588 Protocol in DIGSI 5

Parameter: Profile
• Default setting Profile = IEC 61850-9-3:2016

With the parameter Profile, you can select the PTP profile. A PTP profile defines requirements and PTP
features applicable to a specific domain, for example, power utility automation.
IEC 61850-9-3:2016 Power utility profile
IEEE C37.238:2017 Power profile
NOTE
i The clock types OCGC and OCGC and P2P TC do not support the profile IEEE C37.238:2017.
Parameter: Clock priority 1, Clock priority 2
• Default setting Clock priority 1 = 128
• Default setting Clock priority 2 = 128

If the parameter OC grandmaster-capable is activated, the parameters Clock priority 1 and Clock
priority 2 are available.
As the grandmaster-capable PTP clock supports the best master clock (BMC) algorithm, you can use the
parameters Clock priority 1 and Clock priority 2 to specify which of the grandmaster-capable
clocks takes over the active master role and operates in MASTER state. Among SIPROTEC 5 devices with clock
type OCGC or OCGC and P2P TC, the one with the smallest value of the parameter Clock priority 1
takes over the active master role, while the others are synchronized with the backup master role and operate
in SLAVE state. If the values of the parameter Clock priority 1 for multiple SIPROTEC 5 devices are equal,
the value of the parameter Clock priority 2 is decisive. If the SIPROTEC 5 device operating in MASTER
state is disconnected from the network or is defective, the device with the 2nd smallest value of Clock
priority 1 takes over the active master role. If the values of Clock priority 1 and Clock priority
2 are the same for multiple SIPROTEC 5 devices used as OC grandmasters, the GM identity determines via the
MAC address which device takes over the active master role. Siemens recommends using the clock priorities
31 More than 1 instance of OCGC is only allowed for the special case documented in Figure 10-20.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023

to define which grandmaster-capable clock takes over the active master role, in case all OCGCs are up and
running.
NOTE
i Do not set the parameter Clock priority 1 or Clock priority 2 to 255. According to
IEC 61850-9-3, the value 255 is used for the slave-only clocks. If you set the parameter Clock priority
1 or Clock priority 2 to 255, DIGSI 5 reports an inconsistency.
If there are multiple communication modules with OC grandmaster-capable activated in a SIPROTEC 5

device, set the same value to the parameter Clock priority 1 for all the modules. The same applies to the
parameter Clock priority 2.
NOTE
i SIPROTEC 5 devices with the clock type OCGC or OCGC and P2P TC are interoperable with external grand-
master clocks. The parameters besides Clock priority 1 and Clock priority 2 are evaluated
according to the BMC algorithmn to specify the clock operating with the active master role.
Parameter: Domain number
• Default setting Domain number = 0

A PTP domain is a logical grouping of PTP clocks where the clocks synchronize to each other via the IEEE 1588
protocol.
You can adjust the value according to the recommended domain number of the selected profile. Siemens
recommends setting the parameter to 0 for IEC 61850-9-3:2016 and 254 for IEEE C37.238:2017.
Parameter: Seamless changeover
• Default setting Seamless changeover is deactivated.

With the parameter Seamless changeover activated, a recovered or reconnected grandmaster-capable
clock first synchronizes to the current PTP grandmaster before it takes over the active master role. In this way,
the grandmaster switchback can avoid the jump in the time base which can result in slave-clock resynchroni-
zation and intermediate protection-function blocking in process-bus applications.
Siemens recommends the following configurations:
• If there is only 1 SIPROTEC 5 OCGC in the network segment, deactivate the parameter Seamless
changeover.
• If there is more than 1 SIPROTEC 5 OCGC in the network segment, activate the parameter Seamless
changeover for all the relevant OCGCs.
• If external grandmaster clocks are used in the network segment, deactivate the parameter Seamless
changeover.
NOTE
i For SIPROTEC 5 V9.60, Seamless changeover is supported for maximum 2 OCGCs, which are named
OCGC A and OCGC B in the following chapters.
NOTE
i For more information on the use of OC grandmaster-capable clocks in a SIPROTEC 5 device for process bus
applications, refer to the application and setting notes in the SIPROTEC 5 Process Bus manual.

10.6.3.3 Seamless Changeover

The Seamless changeover functionality is used for the sampled-value synchronization for process-bus applica-
tions.
When the parameter Seamless changeover is activated, the SIPROTEC 5 device enters into a Siemens-
specific mode. In this mode, the best master clock (BMC) algorithm can be operated to avoid jumps in the time
base during changes between the grandmaster clocks (GMC). Such jumps in the time base of the PTP time
source lead to a resynchronization of the merging units. Thus, on the corresponding SMV (sampled measured
value) subscribers, a temporary blocking of the protection functions occurs. These protection functions, for
example, differential and distance protection, depend on the correct synchronization.
The Siemens specific mode ensures that a GMC that is about to take over the active master role (according to
the BMC algorithm) synchronizes with the existing active master clock before switching to the active master
role and thus takes over the synchronization. In this case, the jumps in the time base and thus the temporary
blocking of the protection can be avoided. The availability of the protection system is therefore increased.
The operation of the Seamless changeover functionality is limited to a maximum of 2 SIPROTEC 5 grandmaster
clocks.
The following table shows the operation when the parameter Seamless changeover is deactivated.

10.6.4.2 HSR or RSTP Network

In the following figures, SIPROTEC 5 devices are connected in an HSR ring or in multiple HSR rings. You can
connect single attached master-clocks to the HSR ring with HSR RedBoxes or set the SIPROTEC 5 device as the
grandmaster-capable clock. In the HSR network, the supported maximum number of hops is 16 plus extra 2
RedBoxes, not to exceed 1-μs network time inaccuracy. In the RSTP network, the supported maximum number
of hops is 16.
NOTE
i The OC grandmaster-capable supports the best master clock algorithm (BMC algorithm), so that multiple
SIPROTEC 5 devices with the clock type OCGC and P2P TC are allowed per HSR or RSTP network.
In a SIPROTEC 5 device, a maximum of 1 OCSO and P2P TC can be set. Therefore, if multiple PTP clocks
are configured in a SIPROTEC 5 device and one of them is OCSO and P2P TC, the clock type on the other
modules must be set to P2P TC, OCGC, or OCGC and P2P TC.

10.7 DHCP
10.7 DHCP
10.7.1 DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enables a client, in this case the Ethernet interface, to access
IP address and configuration data from a DHCP server. In this case, a DHCP server has to be available in the
network. If DHCP is activated, you do not have to configure the Ethernet interface network settings yourself.
10.7.2 Activating DHCP
² Select the Ethernet communication module.

² Navigate to the Ethernet Addresses section.
² In the IP Protocol section, activate the Automatically an IP Address (from the DHCP Server) check box.
- or -
² Set the IP Address to 0.0.0.0.
The device then acts on the assumption that a DHCP server is available, and receives the addresses from
this server.

10.9 PRP
10.9 PRP
PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet networks. This protocol is specified
in the norm IEC 62439-3. In comparison to conventional redundancy procedures, for example, RSTP (Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE 802.1D-2004), PRP offers a switchover without interruptions. This avoids a dead
time in the event of a fault, and thus the highest availability.
Previous redundancy methods are based on mechanisms where the power-system components (switches and
bridges) agree with each other and find the best communication path for normal operation.
In the event of a fault, for example, in a cable, an optical fiber, or in case of a switch failure, the interruption
is detected and alternative paths are found in the network and connected. No communication can take place
during this switching procedure. Depending on the size and on the configuration of the Ethernet network, this
state can last for 10 ms up to around 1 s. A protocol extension in the end device is not necessary in this case
because the protocol is implemented in the switches.
PRP adopts a different approach.
The redundancy procedure is generated in the end device itself. The procedure is simple: The redundant end
device has 2 Ethernet interfaces with the same address (DAN, Double Attached Node). Then, the same frame
is sent twice, with PRP (parallel) via 2 separated networks. Both frames are unambiguously identified with a
sequence number.
The receiver takes the information that arrives first, stores the ID of the information in a duplicate filter using
the source address and the sequence number of the information. Thereby, the receiver recognizes the 2nd
redundant information and discards it. This redundant information is then discarded.
If the 1st frame is missing, the 2nd frame with the same information arrives via the other network. This
redundancy avoids a switchover of the network and is therefore a redundancy without interruption.
The end device does not forward any frame to the other network.
Since this procedure is realized in the Ethernet layer (same MAC address), it is transparent and can be used by
all Ethernet informative data protocols (IEC 61850, DNP, other TCP/IP based protocols).
In addition, it is possible to use one of the 2 networks for the transmission of not redundant frames. To do so,
connect a SAN (Single Attached Node) device to a network. In this way, a PRP end device can communicate
with a SAN end device (in a not redundant way). If you wish to connect a SAN end device in a redundant
way to a PRP system, use a REDBOX (redundancy box). This REDBOX provides PRP functionality externally as
an in-line device. However, the PRP procedure also presents a disadvantage: You are buying the increased
redundancy function at the cost of a duplicate network (2x switches, cables).
NOTE
i Both networks must not be connected as this causes Ethernet double addressing and this can result in
malfunctions!
There are 2 versions of PRP: PRP-0 and the successor PRP-1. Siemens implements PRP-1.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
10.10 HSR
10.10 HSR
Like PRP, HSR (High Availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol) is specified in the norm IEC 62439-3. Both
protocols provide a redundancy without switchover.
The basic function can be found in the definition of PRP. With PRP, the same indication is sent via 2 separated
networks. In contrast to that, with HSR, the indication is sent twice in the both directions of the ring. The
receiver gets the indication via 2 ways in the ring, takes the 1st indication, and discards the 2nd (see PRP).
Whereas a PRP end device does not forward any indication, an HSR node has a switch function. Thus, the HSR
node forwards frames that are not or not exclusively addressed to this node and which have not been sourced
by the node itself.
In order to avoid circling indications in the ring, special measures are defined in the case of HSR. SAN (Single
Attached Node) end devices can only be connected with a REDBOX in the case of HSR.
PRP systems and HSR systems can be coupled in a redundant way with 2 REDBOXES.

10.11.4 SNMPv3 Features
Security is a weak aspect in SNMP versions 1 through 2c. These versions of SNMP do not support login with
password and user names; instead, communities are used. The disadvantage is that every user in the network
with a suitable program can read data and even change values.
SNMPv3 supplies encryption and improved authentication. For security, for SIPROTEC 5 devices, you cannot
change any settings or values of the device via SNMP, except for settings affecting SNMP.
By default, 2 users are created in a group which is named initial, with read and write access.

For security reasons, Siemens recommends removing these initial standard users, creating your own users,
and assigning passwords. The corresponding SNMP tree structures and tables for user management are
readable and writable (USM-MIB). You can find more information in the RFC documentation USM-MIB (RFC
3414, 2574) and VACM-MIB (RFC 3415, 2575).
If the parameterization for SNMP is removed and loaded in the device, all previous settings for SNMP on the
Ethernet communication module are deleted. The initial state applies when configuring the SNMP again. If
you modify the configuration of SIPROTEC 5 device without modifying SNMP, then SNMP remains as before.
For more information on the configuration of DGPI and DGSM notification in an SNMP agent, refer to https://

General
The General section contains the following entries:
Entry Meaning
Maximum Age Time Counter that counts down with each pass through a bridge
Hello Time The time between configuration messages that have been issued by
the Root Bridge. With shorter Hello Times, there is a faster detection
of topology changes, at the expense of a moderate increase of STP
transmissions.
Forward Delay The time that a bridge requires to register MAC addresses on a rising
port before transmission can be started. With lower values, the port can
reach the transmission status faster but then, unregistered addresses
are transmitted to all ports.
Transmit Count The maximum number of BDPUs on each port that can be sent within
1 second. With a larger value, the power system can be restored more
quickly after failure of a connection/bridge.
Bridge ID Bridge Identifier
The bridge identifier provides a finer gradation of the switches. This
enables you to set the location of the alternate switches in the network.
Root Path Cost The total costs of the path to the root bridge, composed of the sum of
costs for each connection in the path.

Topology Change Count Counter that registers changes of the network topology
This value must remain constant during operation. When it remains
constant, there has been no topology change in the network.
Time Since Last Topology Change Time since the last change of the network topology
This diagnostic value shows the time elapsed since the last topology
change. It must be incremented continually.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Commissioning and Diagnostics
11.1 Diagnostic Information
11.1.1 Prerequisite
NOTE
i In this chapter, the commissioning procedure is presented in compressed form.
All components must be installed and operating properly.
Creating a List of Addresses
NOTE
i With the aid of an address list, you can obtain an overview of the network topology. This list contains all
important information about the devices. In this way, you can find any errors quickly.
Siemens thus recommends that you first create a list of component addresses immediately.
The list must contain the following information at a minimum:
• Device type
• Product code
• Serial number
• Firmware version in the device
• Firmware version in the module
• IP address
IP settings can be read only after the devices have been initialized, that is, the parameter sets have been
loaded into the devices.
• Subnet mask
• Standard gateway
• MAC address
The MAC addresses can be read directly on the display of the device (Menu 5-5 Enter).
• IED name under IEC 61850 for each device

It makes sense to also obtain the above-mentioned information for third-party devices, for example, switches.
Supplement this list with a description of the network topology. This topology description explains how the
devices are connected to one another.
To obtain information about devices from the competition, follow the procedure in the Manuals.
Once the list is complete, check whether any IP addresses appear twice. MAC addresses do not appear twice
when network components are identified unambiguously.
Additional commissioning information is available at www.siprotec.de.
Commissioning a Ring Structure
NOTE
i Note that one part deals with the RSTP settings.
Prior to commissioning, check whether the system has been installed correctly.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Startup proceeds in the following sequence:
• Switch on the switches

Siemens recommends waiting approximately 1 minute after switching on the power.
• Switch on the devices

Siemens recommends switching the devices on one after another in accordance with their location in the
ring and loading the new Config if necessary. After successfully loading the Config, wait until the device
has started up before you switch on the next device.
If Port J is used as the Config interface, all devices can remain switched on and be loaded all at once with
DIGSI 5.
11.1.2 Additional Tests
Check Accessibility
After settings have been made and parameters loaded, all components must be accessible via their IP address.
This must be possible regardless of whether the ring is open or closed.
NOTE
i Note that modules can operate both in Line and in Switch mode. The homepages thus differ accordingly.
You use DIGSI 5 to set the operating mode.
If a device cannot be reached, the following reasons can be the cause:
• A SIPROTEC 5 device connected to a switch via a Line connection is switched off.
• A SIPROTEC 5 device incorporated into an optical ring is switched off.
• A ring structure is cut at more than one point. As a result, some of the devices are no longer accessible.
The following reasons can be the cause of the break:
– Switched-off devices
– Broken connections
– Device in FW/Config loading/Fallback mode
Upon completion of these preliminaries, a ring structure is in operation. Additional settings are now possible.
11.1.3 General Information about the Diagnostic Information
The SIPROTEC 5 device offers various output options for diagnostic data.
• Diagnostic data at the device

The device display shows various information.
Main menu:
– Communication
– Test & diagnostics
Device information
Hardware/software information
System protocol
• Diagnostic data via DIGSI

Diagnostic data can be read out with DIGSI 5 and the DIGSI 5 protocol.
The diagnostic pages and the communication log provide assistance during commissioning or when
performing diagnoses during operation by providing important data online.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
• Diagnostic data via the homepage

For more information, refer to 10.13 Homepage.
If you want to download the data, click the floppy-disk icon.
NOTE
11.1.4 Communication Log
Opening the Communication Log

You can open the communication log via the following steps:
• In DIGSI, select the area Online Access in the Project Tree.
• Then select the interface to which the device is connected.
• Next, select Updating accessible participants. The local network is searched for SIPROTEC 5 devices.
• Next, select the device and click Get all data from device. The configuration and process data are read
out.
• Next, select Test Suite and then Communication module. You can now open the communication log for
each communication module under the settings for the channels.

If you would like to assign the communication failures or faults to other events,
move the signal Telegram lost temporarily into the operational log. Such
events can be switching operations in the primary system or operations on the
components of the communication network.
Note: If the signal is constantly routed, the operational log can overflow. Siemens
recommends routing the signal only for clarification of faults.

11.1.13 Diagnostic Data for the Protection Interface
Diagnostic Data of the Channel in DIGSI 5

Different diagnostic data can be read with DIGSI 5.
For this, connect with the device via DIGSI 5 and query the device information. Diagnostic data for a module
whose channel is configured with the protection interface can be received by selecting the module slots (for
example, F) and the corresponding channel (1 or 2). The following figures show the extensive diagnostic
data for the protection interface. It is particularly helpful if data failures occur or other irregularities in a
communication connection (for example, transmission time fluctuations).
NOTE
i The diagnostic data can also be read via the device control on the display of the device. The overview of
DIGSI 5 does not offer this option, however.
The following table describes the displays.

11.1.14 Test Editor
For the protocol test, DIGSI 5 is used to set and reset specific values for objects that are routed through
communication interfaces. The object will always be transmitted using a test bit. If the objects are to be
designed with receivers, then the receivers must also be placed into the test state. A Test Editor is provided in
DIGSI 5 for this purpose.
You can set objects for IEC 61850. If this object is configured in a dataset that is to be transmitted as a GOOSE
message or report, then the object can be received spontaneously by a client or other server. In this way, you
can change states and test their response via the IEC 61850 communication.

11.1.15 IEC 61850
11.1.15.1 Switching off GOOSE Messages

Using an IEC 61850 client, you can switch off GOOSE messages in a device.
Controlling GOOSE Messages

A GOOSE message is controlled by a GOOSE control block. It is located in the LLN0 of the logical device in
which the GOOSE message was created. All relevant data for the GOOSE message can be found there.
The variable GoEna is needed to switch off GOOSE messages. The variable GoEna controls the transmission of
the GOOSE message. If a client sets this variable from 1 to 0, the device stops the transmission of this GOOSE
message and the objects it contains. You can now check the receivers of GOOSE messages to see whether an
interruption of data reception is detected reliably. An object that is not received is set to the value Invalid or
its state can be updated manually at the receiver.
[sc_goenab, 2, en_US]
Figure 11-22 Variable GoEna with Value 0
If a device transmits several GOOSE messages, then you must set all GoEna variables to 0 to switch off the
GOOSE messages completely.
The GOOSE messages are switched on by setting the value of the variable GoEna to 1.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
For testing purposes, you can use the IEC 61850 Browser, as it displays and can set GOOSE control blocks and
variables.
Switching off GOOSE Messages in Information Routing

You can switch off GOOSE messages in the information routing by routing the >GOOSE Stop signal to a binary
input or function key. You cannot route this signal to a binary input and a function key simultaneously.
[sc_gostop, 2, en_US]
Figure 11-23 Routing the >GOOSE Stop Signal
11.1.15.2 Quality Processing/Affected by the User for Received GOOSE Values

The properties of quality processing have changed with the introduction of GOOSE Later Binding. You can
find information about the former quality processing in Previous Quality Processing/Affected by the User for
Received GOOSE Values, Page 407.
In the Information Routing Editor, you can influence the data value and quality of all data types. The
following figure shows the possible influence using the example of a DPC data type. All setting options are
effective for the device receiving the data.
• In the DIGSI 5 project tree, double-click Information Routing.
• Select either the desired signal in the External Signals group or the signal of a function activated via the
GOOSE column.
• Open the Properties window and select the Processing Quality Attributes sheet.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
[sc_LB_GOOSE_2, 2, en_US]
Figure 11-24 Influence Option When Linking a DPC Type Data Object
Depending on the selected data type of the object, various selection options are offered to you for the Safe
state item in the Common settings section. At this point, you select the manually updated values that allow
a safe operating state as soon as the data access via the communication path is disturbed.
• Select the property for the selected data object.

You can also set the Advanced quality attributes of the data object for GOOSE Later Binding.
The following figure shows the advanced quality attributes using the example of a DPC data type.
• Open the Properties window and select the Advanced quality attributes sheet.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Figure 11-25 Advanced Quality Attributes for GOOSE Later Binding
With the following advanced quality attributes, you can filter the transmitted GOOSE indications and check
and set their quality. The values that have been adapted, if necessary, are forwarded to the receiver.
For the tests, you can select from the following setting options depending on the data type.
Table 11-15 Value Definitions
Setting Value Description

Apply safe state value The value configured in the Safe state is forwarded as valid to the
application as soon as communication disturbance occurs.
Keep value The disturbed quality attribute is overwritten with good and the received
value is forwarded as valid to the application. If no value was received,
the output value is assumed being in safe state.
Keep last valid value If an invalid quality attribute is received, the last valid value is forwarded
to the application. If no value has yet been received, the output value is
assumed being in safe state.
Set value to "false" Applies only to Boolean communication objects. Every invalid quality
attribute causes the valid value false to be forwarded to the applica-
tion.
Set value to "true" Applies only to Boolean communication objects. Every invalid quality
attribute causes the valid value true to be forwarded to the application.
These settings of the Advanced quality attributes apply to the advanced quality attributes listed below. The
selection can vary depending on the data type.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
Figure 11-26 Value Definition of a Data Object of the SPS Type
You can also forward the quality attributes unchanged. To do this, you must mark the Keep flag check box.
NOTE
i By default, the Keep flag checkbox is disabled when the signal is routed to the LED or the binary output.
Functional Logoff by Operator Blocked

You have set the Operation mode to Device logoff = true in the transmitting device. As a result,
every indication issued from the functions and subject to Device logoff is transmitted with the quality
information operator blocked and Validity = good. The receiver recognizes this for this indication and
reacts according to the settings (Table 11-15). A different quality processing can take place only once you
have set the Operation mode to Device logoff = false in the transmitting device.
Communication Outage
There is communication disturbance (time allowed to live) between the transmitter and the receiver indicated
by the transmitter. The indication is set in accordance with the settings (Table 11-15).
Invalidity
The transmitting device sends this indication with the quality information Validity = invalid. The receiver
recognizes this for this indication and reacts according to the settings (Table 11-15).
Questionable
The transmitting device sends this indication with the quality information Validity = questionable. The
receiver recognizes this for this indication and reacts according to the settings (Table 11-15).
Test Mismatch
The transmitting device or the function in the transmitting device that issues this indication is in test mode. As
a result, the indication is transmitted with the quality information test. The receiving function block recog-
nizes this for this indication and reacts, depending on its own test-mode state (specified in IEC 61850-7-4
Annex A), according to the settings (Table 11-15).
NOTE
i Follow the sequence of tests. First, the Functional logoff by operator blocked is tested. Then comes
Communication outage and so on. If a case is recognized as active, the test chain is canceled with the
configured setting for the active case.
In the case of Invalidity, the tests are first performed for Functional logoff by operator blocked (not
applicable) and then for Communication outage (not applicable) and canceled with the configured action for
Invalidity.
If an indication is routed into the log, manual updating of a value is also logged based on the conditions listed
above and on the reason for the manual update. Manually updating a value based on the conditions listed

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
above causes a change in the Health Warning function block, inherited up to Device health (specified
in IEC 61850-7-4).
Keep Flag
The quality attributes and values indicated by the transmitter are accepted without change. Quality processing
must be performed by the user via a logic diagram. The outputs of the logic diagram following the user-
specific quality processing can be connected to the function-block inputs as before.
Previous Quality Processing/Affected by the User for Received GOOSE Values

In the Information Routing editor, you can influence the data value and quality of all data types. The
following figure shows the possible influence using the example of a DPC data type.

11.1.15.3 Supervision of GOOSE Connections

With the standard IEC 61850-7-4 Edition 2, a new logical node for monitoring GOOSE connections has been
introduced. This logical node can be used to easily monitor GOOSE communication at station level.
In order to be able to use GOOSE supervision, you must activate the setting Enable GOOSE Supervision in
DIGSI 5 under Settings > Device settings.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
[sc_IEC61850_device_settings, 5, en_US]
Figure 11-28 Device Settings for IEC 61850 – Enable GOOSE Supervision
NOTE
i This setting can only be done in Edition 2.
You can instantiate 1 LGOS logical node per GOOSE connection in an SCT conforming to IEC 61850. The
logical nodes LGOS contain the following objects:
[sc_GOOSE_connection_LN-LGOS, 2, en_US]
Figure 11-29 Objects in LN LGOS
In the logical node LGOS, you can request the status of the GOOSE connection with the following objects:
• NdsCom:
If the value is TRUE, this indicates that the parameterization of the subscription is faulty.
You can find detailed information in the object DiagErr.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
• St:
If the value is TRUE, the GOOSE connection is active. If the value is FALSE, the GOOSE connection is
inactive.
• SimSt:
If the value is TRUE, GOOSE messages with set simulation bit are accepted and received. For this,
you must switch the device to the GOOSE simulation mode. You can find more information in chapter
11.1.15.4 GOOSE Simulation Mode. If GOOSE messages with set simulation bit are no longer received,
the value remains TRUE until the simulation is turned off.
• ConfRevNum:
This object contains the expected ConfigRev number according to GOOSE parameterization.
• RxConfRevNum:
This object contains the received ConfigRev number of the GOOSE connection. This number must match
the ConfRevNum, otherwise, NdsCom is set to TRUE and you must adapt the parameterization.
• DiagErr:
This object contains the following information in case of GOOSE-connection errors:
– 0: NoError
– 1: WaitingForTelegram
– 2: ConfRevMismatch
– 3: GoIDMismatch
– 4: DataSetReferenceMismatch
– 5: NeedsCommisioning
– 6: DataSetMemberMismatch
– 7: Initializing
• GoCBRef:
This object contains the object reference of the monitored received GOOSE control block.
NOTE
i For the use of the IEC browser:

The logical device ComSupervision_GOOSE contains the supervision logical-node instances LGOS (1 LGOS
per GOOSE message). An IEC 61850 access point can process several GOOSE messages, so there can be
several instances LGOS (1 LGOS per GOOSE message). Each GOOSE message subscription is supervised by
1 LGOS.
The logical node CALH1 in the logical device ComSupervision_GOOSE offers the following grouped
indications:
• GrAlm:
At least 1 of all LGOS.St is False (at least 1 GOOSE subscription does not work).
• GrInd:
At least 1 of all LGOS.SimSt is True (at least 1 GOOSE subscription receives simulation telegrams).
11.1.15.4 GOOSE Simulation Mode

You can switch the device to the GOOSE simulation mode using an IEC 61850 Client.
Controlling GOOSE Messages

In order to switch the device to the GOOSE simulation mode, the variable Sim is required in the logical node
LPHD. The variable Sim controls switching on and off the GOOSE simulation mode. If a client sets this variable
from FALSE to TRUE, the device can process simulated GOOSE messages. If a client sets the variable back to

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
FALSE, the device is no longer in the GOOSE simulation mode and only processes normal and non-simulated
GOOSE messages.
[sc_GOOSE simulation mode, 1, --_--]
Figure 11-30 Variable Sim of the LPHD in the IEC 61850 Browser
For testing purposes, you can use the IEC 61850 browser to control the variable Sim of the logical node LPHD.
11.1.16 Working in the IEC 61850 Browser
11.1.16.1 IEC 61850 Browser

The IEC 61850 Browser is a PC program that allows the IEC 61850 structure of a device to be displayed online.
It is supplied as a debugger together with DIGSI 5 and provides valuable information about the IEC 61850
structure of a device during commissioning. The IEC 61850 Browser displays datasets configured in the device,
for example, for static reports or GOOSE messages, as well as the data objects they contain.
The Browser behaves like an IEC 61850 client and can, for instance, receive reports from a device.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
[sc_iec_browser, 3, en_US]
Figure 11-31 IEC 61850 Browser
To display the IEC 61850 structure of a device, connect to the IP address of the device over the network. The
IEC 61850 Browser reads the entire IEC 61850 structure of a device online and displays it in a tree structure
with logical devices, logical nodes, and data objects. For test purposes, you now have read and write access to
the device.
If you have exported SCL data as ICD or SCD files, then you can import these files into the IEC 61850 Browser
and in this way trasfer the data in the IEC 61850 Browser. In this case, the browser displays the IEC 61850
structure of the device offline. In this offline display, you can also recognize the descriptions of the IEC 61850
objects. They are incorporated from the ICD or SCD files and improve reading of the IEC 61850 structure
noticeably. In the SCD file, you can see all devices and the IP addresses configured. You can now connect to a
device and browse through the IEC 61850 structure of this device.
You can finde more information on the IEC 61850 Browser in the Help system of the program.
11.1.16.2 Dynamic Datasets

11.2 Signals to the Communication Modules

Indications and Representation of the Interface in Information Routing
A function group is provided for the protocol in Information routing. The indication Channel Live is issued
there if the module is no longer communicating with the master (parameterized monitoring time has expired).
Description of the Signals to the Communication Modules

There are different signals for each communication module:
• Channel Live
The signal Channel Live indicates the data flow. Therefore, the signal indicates that the communication
service is transmitting and receiving data on the module.
Consider that multiple services can run in parallel on one Ethernet module.
• Redund. Channel Live (redundant channel live)

The signal Redund. Channel Live indicates whether the 2nd communication port can also transmit and
receive.
[sc_redundant_channel_live, 2, en_US]
Figure 11-39 Signal Redund. Channel Live in the Information Routing
• Module ready
The signal Module ready indicates that the module has started and the protocol applications have
started. You can reallocate this signal to LED or log. Then, you can recognize whether the IEC 61850
services, for example, GOOSE, are started on an Ethernet module and are working correctly.
NOTE
i The communication modules are started after the protection device is started. For this reason, it takes a bit
longer for the communication protocols to be ready for operation.

C53000-L1840-C055-H, Edition 07.2023
• Health
The signal Health indicates the state of the module. The following 3 states can occur in this case:
– OK
Module OK indicates, that the module is working.
– Warning
This state is not used.
– Alarm
The state Alarm is set when there is a failure of the module.
Each protocol application has a Health node. If a protocol has problems at startup – for example, missing
parameters, no mapping, no hardware support – the status is set to Alarm. An alarm in a protocol causes an
alarm of the module; that is, the higher-level element provides an overview.
Signal >Block monitoring direction

The signal >Block monitoring direction is provided for protocols with a master-slave architecture, for
example, IEC 60870-5-103.
For an IEC 61850 client-server connection, a general blocking of the reporting is not desired. For this reason,
the >Block monitoring direction signal is not available for IEC 61850. Other methods are available there.
To prevent too much incoming information during commissioning, there are the following options:
• Finish communication to the clients, for example, stop the device in the SICAM PAS UI – Operation.
To start and stop transmitting IEC 61850 reports from the server, the clients activate or deactivate the
report control blocks. In the SICAM PAS UI – Operation, you can use the Bay blocking function.
• Set the device into test mode (Mod/Beh=3=test), for example, by routing the signal >Test mode on in
DIGSI.
In this mode, all data objects are set with a test bit (in the quality attribute). This sends these quality
changes by report to the client or via GOOSE.
• Disconnect the server physically from the network.

This step is usually of little help with Buffered Reporting since all messages are sent later, as soon as the
server is reconnected.

High-Availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol

Like PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol), HSR (High-Availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol) is specified in
IEC 62439-3. Both protocols offer redundancy without switching time.
The principal function can be found in the definition of PRP. With PRP, the same indication is sent via 2
separated networks. In contrast to this, in the case of HSR the indication is sent twice in the 2 directions of the
ring. The recipient receives it correspondingly via 2 paths in the ring, takes the 1st indication and discards the
2nd indication (see PRP protocol).
Whereas NO indications are forwarded in the end device in the case of PRP, a switch function is installed in the
HSR node. Thus, the HSR node forwards indications in the ring that are not directed at it.
In order to avoid circular indications in the ring, corresponding mechanisms are defined in the case of HSR.
SAN (Single Attached Node) end devices can only be connected with the aid of a RedBox in the case of HSR.
PRP systems and HSR systems can be coupled redundantly with 2 RedBoxes.

Link address
The link address indicates the address of a SIPROTEC device.
Management Information Base

A Management Information Base (MIB) is a database which continuously saves information and statistics
concerning each device in a network. The performance of each device can be monitored with this information
and statistics. In this way, it can also be ensured that all devices in the network function properly. MIBs are
used with SNMP.
Manufacturing Message Specification

The standard Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) serves for data exchange. The standard is used for
the transmission protocols IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-6 TASE.2.
Metered value
Metered values are a processing function, used to determine the total number of discrete similar events
(counter pulses), for example, as integral over a time span. In the power utility field, electrical energy is often
recorded as a metered value (energy import/delivery, energy transport).

Parallel Redundancy Protocol

Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet networks that is specified in
IEC 62439-3. Unlike conventional redundancy procedures, such as RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol,
IEEE 802.1D-2004), PRP offers uninterruptible switchover, which avoids any downtime in the event of a fault,
and thus the highest availability.
PRP is based on the following approach: The redundancy procedure is generated in the end device itself.
The principle is simple: The redundant end device has 2 Ethernet interfaces with the same address (DAN,
Double Attached Node). Now the same indication is sent twice, in the case of PRP (parallel) over 2 separate
networks, and unambiguously marks both with a sequence number. The receiver takes the information that it
receives first, stores its ID based on the source address and the sequence number in a duplicate filter and thus
recognizes the 2nd, redundant information. This redundant information is then discarded. If the 1st indication
is missing, the 2nd indication with the same content comes via the other network. This redundancy avoids a
switching procedure in the network and is thus interruption-free. The end device relays no indications to the
other network. Since the process is realized in the Ethernet layer (same MAC address), it is transparent and
usable for all Ethernet user data protocols (IEC 61850, DNP, other TCP/IP based protocols). In addition, it is
possible to use one of the 2 networks for the transmission of non-redundant indications.
There are 2 versions of PRP: PRP-0 and its successor PRP-1. Siemens implements PRP-1.
Parameterization
Comprehensive term for all setting work on the device. You can set parameters for the protection functions
with DIGSI 5 or sometimes also directly on the device.
PB Client
Process-Bus client. The sampled measured values subscriber is designated as a process-bus client.
Protection device
A protection device detects erroneous states in distribution networks, taking into consideration various
criteria, such as fault distance, fault direction, or fault duration, triggering a disconnection of the defective
network section.

Parallel Redundancy Protocol
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is a standardized redundancy process with a short response time. In
the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP protocol), structuring times in the multidigit second range apply in the case of
a reorganization of the network structure. These times are reduced to several 100 milliseconds for RSTP.
