7XV5673 App IO-Unit 7Sx80 A2 en

Application for the extension of I/Os on
7SJ80 and 7SK80 via SICAM I/O-Unit 7XV5673
In this document the extension of binary inputs and outputs with up to two SICAM I/O-Units on the
Ethernet service port A of 7SJ80/7SK80 is described.
The SICAM I/O-Unit 7XV5673 has 6 binary

inputs and 6 binary outputs. A 7SJ80 or a
7SK80 can be combined with up to two
SICAM I/O-Units. For this the 7SJ80/7SK80
has to be equipped with the Ethernet service
interface Port A (not IEC61850). Hence a
7SJ80/7SK80 can be extended by up to
12 binary inputs and up to 12 binary outputs.
All settings on the SICAM I/O-Unit can be
done through a Web-browser (e.g. Internet
Explorer).
Note: This application guide is only intended
as additional user information and it is a
prerequisite that the user has knowledge of
the general operation and usage of the device
and its basic functions as described in the device manual.
Application: Get up to 12 additional BI and 12 additional BO on 7SJ80/7SK80

Application in an Ethernet network
If a SICAM I/O-Unit and a 7SJ80/7SK80 are applied in an existing Ethernet network, a switch that is
suitable for the substation environment (e.g. Scalance X307-2EEC or RUGGEDCOM RS900) must
be used. Switch, SICAM I/O-Unit, protection device and the operating PC make up a sub-net that is
connected via patch cables. DIGSI 4 and a Web browser can run in parallel on the PC. It is therefore
possible to set the I/O-Unit and the protection device in parallel.

Setting the Protection Device using DIGSI 4

The Notebook is connected with the front interface of the protection device, e.g. 7SJ80x, using an
available USB interface (1.1 / 2.0). A USB-cable with Plug-A to Plug-B is required for this purpose
(e.g. from the accessories with DIGSI 4.86).
The protection device is inserted as new device in DIGSI 4 with corresponding MLFB and then
initialized.
Subsequently the object properties of the device, the Ethernet interface and the measured values
acquisition are set and saved.
The protection device must have an Ethernet-Interface Port A (not EN100 / Port B).

If the Ethernet interface Port A has already been

installed at the factory as indicated by Order
number (MLFB), this can be checked under
Object properties , MLFB.
Save with OK
If the interface was retrofitted, Object properties

, - Communication modules have to be
opened and then be changed accordingly.
Save with OK
Open the protection device in DIGSI 4 with the

connection type USB and Select a device .

An available IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.200) and a

subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) are to be allocated
to the interface Port A in Interface Settings,
Ethernet Service in the device.
Save in the protection device with DIGSI -> Device

After entering the password, continue with OK
If the protection device should further be operated via the Ethernet interface, the IP-address of the
notebook must be selected with DIGSI 4 in Configure DIGSI 4, Ethernet
NOTE: From DIGSI 4.82, the IP addresses of all the available Ethernet interfaces of the
PC/notebooks are available for selection in the pull-down menu.
Take Care: If an IP address has not yet been selected, or if the IP address has been changed
(e.g. automatic allocation by DHCP), the input box will be empty.
An IP address must be selected here,
otherwise the operation of the protection device via Ethernet is not possible.

In case the protection device is connected to the notebook either directly via a CAT5 patch cable or
via a switch, all further settings of the protection device can now be applied with DIGSI 4 either
through the USB front port or the bottom Ethernet service interface Port A.
In the window Open device the device may be

selected with Connection type USB, or the
connection can be directly established through
Ethernet.

Setting the I/O-Unit 7XV5673 by using a Web-Browser

The settings of the I/O-Unit 7XV5673 are to be entered by using a PC/notebook through the Ethernet
interface and a Web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer. Prior to starting the Web Browser some settings
on PC/notebook must however be applied.
As per default the I/O-Unit has the IP address 192.168.0.55.
Note: Do not connect two SICAM I/O-Units to the network before you have changed the IPaddresses to different values because the I/O-Units have the same default IP-address.
Preparing the PC/Notebook:
To operate the I/O-Unit 7XV5673 with the Notebook both IP-Addresses must be in the same network
segment.
First check and set the IP-address of your Ethernet adapter:
For WIN XP: Start Settings Control Panel

Network Connections.
Then select the correct Ethernet adapter and
continue with Properties TCP/IP
Properties: Change IP-address to 192.168.0.3,
select OK, then CLOSE.
This is the unique

IP-address of your
PC/Notebook
Ethernet interface
which must be
different from the
IP-address of other
network
participants.
Open I/O-Unit 7XV5673 Web Interface:

Now start a Web-Browser (e.g. Internet-Explorer), enter the IP-Address 192.168.0.55, followed
by Return.
The start window displays the current settings of the I/O-Unit.
Configure Communication Ethernet:
Initially the Bus protocol / Operating mode is set to Modbus TCP. To operate the I/O-Unit on
Port A of a 7SJ80 or 7SK80 the operating mode has to be changed to Modbus UDP.
The IP-Address you want to have (e.g. 190.168.10.55 as mentioned in the table on page 2)
and the corresponding Subnet Mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) have to be set now.
If a router is used, the Router IP address must be set in Default gateway.
Page 10 of 13

As long as only one I/O-Unit is connected to the protection device the parameters Ethernet switch
on can be kept to no and the Port number can also remain at 51000.
If two I/O-Units are connected to one protection device the parameter Ethernet switch on has to
be changed to yes in the first I/O-Unit. The Port number of the first I/O-Unit can remain at
51000.
Save with the button SEND. To
activate the modified settings in
the I/O-Unit select Activation in
the left column, followed by the
password (000000) and Return.
Settings in the 2nd I/O-Unit:
Replug the Ethernet cable from
the first I/O-Unit and establish a
point-to-point connection between
PC/Notebook and the second I/OUnit. On the second I/O-Unit IP
address and Port number
have to be changed accordingly:
IP address 192.168.10.56
Port number 51001
The operating mode has to be changed to Modbus UDP. The parameter Ethernet switch on
can be kept to no.
Save with the button SEND. To activate the modified settings in the I/O-Unit select Activation in
the left column, followed by the password (000000) and Return.
Now you have to change your Ethernet adapter to the IP-address 192.168.10.3, as mentioned in
the table of page 2. The procedure is described in Preparing the PC/Notebook on page 9 of this
document.
The following steps
have to be performed
for each I/O-Unit
individually:
Configure Binary
inputs:
Initially the Threshold
voltage of all 6 binary
inputs is set to 19V.
The threshold voltages
can be changed in 4
different blocks for
BI1/BI2 on Block N,
BI3 on Block N,
BI1/BI2 on Block P
and BI3 on Block P.
Page 11 of 13

If you made some changes then save with the button SEND. To activate the modified settings in
the I/O-Unit select Activation in the left column, followed by the password (000000) and Return.
Configure Binary outputs:
Initially all 6 binary outputs are already set to Indication 16 from Remote and Operating
mode is set to Persistent. As long as the binary outputs are used as relay contacts - which is our
standard application here - all settings in this window can remain unchanged.
Configure LEDs:
Initially the Error LED is set to None. To check if the Ethernet communication link is ok we
recommend to set the Error LED to Ethernet Link Error. Both indication LEDs H1 and H2 can
be set individually.
If you made some
changes then save
with the button
SEND. To
activate the
modified settings in
the I/O-Unit select
Activation in the
left column,
followed by the
password (000000)
and Return.
Wish you much success

Use of the CFC block output signal CA (Communication Active)

The protection device checks cyclically if the SICAM I/O-Unit replies on request latest after 5 ms. The
CFC block output CA goes into a High-level status if the communication between the protection
device and the I/O-Unit is stable. In case the connection is not stable the status of CA will be
changed to Low-level after 5 ms.
If the output CA is directly routed through the DIGSI Matrix to an LED or a binary output, the signal
will be sent instantaneously and it will be stored in the event list of the protection device.
A simultaneous use of other Ethernet services, e.g. an access to the HTML pages of the Web-Server
of the I/O-Unit, this might cause delays of around 20 to 30 ms in the communication between the
protection device and the SICAM I/O-Unit. The signal CA might also be shown in this case which is
misleading.
Because an access to the Web-Server of the I/O-Unit is also possible during service we recommend
to add a timer of 50 ms in the CFC logic of the protection device to suppress those temporary
Ethernet errors with a duration of up to 30 ms.
The protection device will still be able to detect and show communication errors of more than 50 ms
in service. Note: The I/O-Unit will show and store communication errors of more than 80 ms (default).
The following CFC logic shows the combination of the output signal CA from the CFC block I/OUnit and a negator NEG and a simple timer TIMER_SHORT.
If the Ethernet connection is stable, the timer is blocked by the High-level status of the output signal
CA at its timer input Reset.
If the Ethernet connection gets interrupted the timer input Reset will be released by the Low-level
status of CA. At the same time the timer will be started by the High-level status of the negator.
If the Low-level status on output CA lasts longer than the set time of the CFC timer, the protection
device will indicate a communication error as long as the communication is interrupted.
The timer will be blocked and the indication on the protection device will be suppressed when the
output CA reaches a High-level status before the CFC timer expires (e.g. 50 ms).
Note: Please consider the correct CFC task level and run sequence of the CFC blocks.
