SICAM SCC HMI for SICAM and IEC 61850
The process visualization and control system is a central ele-
ment of the distribution and transmission of electric energy.
The SICAM SCC HMI system from the SICAM product line is
the optimum solution for your control and monitoring
requirements. The system is independent of the Siemens
substation technology installed. SICAM SCC is compatible
with the SICAM PAS Power Automation System and the prod-
ucts AK, TM, EMIC and MIC from the SICAM line. And in case
you are not using a substation controller in your station:
SICAM SCC communicates directly with bay units and protec-
tion devices that support the IEC 61850 communication
standard. As a result, it can be used as an overall HMI system
for devices.
SICAM SCC based on SIMATIC WinCC
Common HMI for SICAM and SIMATIC
SICAM SCC is based on the SIMATIC WinCC system, one of the
world-leading process visualization systems, adding the func-
tions required for use as substation operating system of the
electric process in high-voltage and medium-voltage systems.
The compatibility with SIMATIC WinCC allows SICAM SCC to be
used as an add-on together with SIMATIC WinCC on one com-
puter. This enables an integrated system solution for visualiz-
ing and controlling the industrial manufacturing processes,
using SIMATIC automation devices (e.g. S7 and PCS7), and the
electric energy process (e.g. with SICAM PAS).

SICAM SCC
System overview
SICAM SCC functions for use with SICAM and IEC 61850
SICAM SCC is tailored to be used in energy applications
supporting operators with the task of optimizing system
management. It provides a fast and clear overview of the
system operating states. The specific properties of the HV
and MV switchgear in control and monitoring direction
(double commands and double-point indications) are opti-
mally implemented in the indication lists and the graphic
process visualization.
SICAM SCC logging that adds value
The original time stamps are logged in the indication lists in
ms resolution as generated in the devices. Each indication is
displayed with a number of additional information items.
They provide information about the up-to-dateness of the
information in the event of a device or communication fail-
ure (up-to-date/not up-to-date) or an active bay blocking or
telecontrol blocking. In addition, they specify the cause of
the status change (spontaneous, command) and, in case of a
command, they provide information about the source of the
operation (local, remote). In addition to process indications,
command indications are logged, too. Each command opera-
tion is thus documented completely and in detail, from the
command initiation by the operator to command output and
feedback from the process after change of status of the con-
trolled switchgear.
3.1/5
 SICAM SCC
System overview
SICAM SCC from process visualization to topological
coloring
IndustrialX controls are used to control and monitor the
switchgear in the fully graphical process images (single-line
diagrams). These switchgear objects support 4 different dis-
play modes (IEC, DIN, SINAUT LSA, SICAM) for circuit break-
ers and disconnectors. In addition, project-specific bitmaps
can be defined to represent the switchgear devices and link
them with the objects. Setpoint flashing and spontaneous
flashing plus the display of various device and communica-
tion states (e.g. up-to-date/not up-to-date, bay blocking and
telecontrol blocking) are supported with the aim to provide
reliable visualization. Measured values and switchgear states,
which are no longer updated due to a device or communica-
tion failure or an active bay blocking, can be updated manu-
ally from the SICAM SCC operator station. The switchgear
devices can be controlled either directly or by using Select
before operate. Topological coloring is available for visual-
3 izing the process with single-line diagrams.
SICAM SCC shared substation automation functions
with SICAM PAS
Additional functions are supported when using the system in
conjunction with SICAM PAS: If, for example, maintenance or
tests have to be carried out for the process domain of a bay
controller, it may not be desirable that status changes are
actually processed by the SICAM PAS substation automation
processing functions nor logged in the HMI. This can be
implemented easily by activating the bay blocking function.
The telecontrol blocking function can be used if you want
Figure 3.1/2 Process visualization with SICAM SCC
3.1/6 SICAM Substation Automation, Distribution-System Automation and RTUs Product Catalog Edition 1.0
status changes to be processed in the station but not trans-
mitted to the higher-level control center.
Substations are usually controlled from the higher-level control
centers, whereas switching commands are to be rejected by the
stations internal HMI; the switching authority is assigned to the
higher-level control center. If control from the HMI is required for
operational management reasons, the switching authority can
be obtained. If the substation is connected to several control
centers, the switching authority can also be assigned to specific
channels. Additionally, different switching authorities can be
used, e.g. for the different voltage levels.
SICAM SCC reduced engineering effort
Exchanging data with the connected substations frequently
involves several thousand indications, measured values and
commands. SICAM SCC provides wizards which considerably
facilitate the configuration of such information. The configu-
ration tools (SICAM PAS UI Configuration, SICAM TOOLBOX II)
provide the required description of the process data in elec-
tronic form and can be imported conveniently using the SCC
wizards. Redundant data entries are thus avoided. SCD files
can be imported for IEC 61850 devices which are connected
directly.

SIMATIC WinCC basics

SIMATIC WinCC the platform on which SICAM SCC operates

Important characteristics overview
The WinCC basic software is the core of an integrated system
comprising WinCC, WinCC options and WinCC Add-ons, all
designed to build up a solution tailored to your specific
requirements. The basic software itself represents a power-
ful, universally applicable process visualization system that
offers all features of a sophisticated HMI software.
Runtime software
All HMI functions onboard, this characterizes the runtime
component of the WinCC basic software: Starting with a user
administration that meets all requirements of Good Manufac-
turing Practice (GMP), ranging to a user interface with lots of
configurable controls and functions up to a performant mes-
sage and archiving system based on the integrated MS SQL
Server. Reporting and logging system as well as integrated
control technology functions complete the list.
Engineering software
The engineering component WinCC CS offers a set of editors
that leave nothing to be desired when talking about effi-
ciency or user friendliness. Libraries and wizards make the
generation of a project fast and easy and reduce error-prone-
ness considerably. As a software for most complex HMI tasks,
WinCC is able to handle comprehensive projects and mass
data.
WinCC/CAS offers the possibility for setting up a scalable,
central process data archiving. The WinCC/Web Navigator
allows you to visualize and operate your plant via the Inter-
net with nearly the same functionality as a WinCC client but
with unbeatable flexibility.
Virtualization
In addition to WinCC Clients, WinCC Servers can now also be
used with WinCC V7.0 SP3 under VMware ESXi, and engi-
neering stations under VMware Workstation or VMware
Player. This means that complex client/server structures as
well as single-user systems can be configured with virtual
environments.
Openness
SIMATIC WinCC consistently builds on the highest possible
openness and ability to integrate as it is designed for using
standard technologies and software tools: This comprises
3
basic technologies, operating systems, the ways of commu-
nication or the ability to integrate scripts, all on a non-propri-
etary basis.

Scalability
The basic system is scalable in all respects by employing
WinCC options. The basic software can already be adapted to
increasing quantity structures by finely graded licenses.
Yet, a chosen license can easily be upgraded in regard to the
number of process tags. By employing WinCC/Server, you can
run WinCC as a client/server application. WinCC/Redundancy
is used to build up a highly available SCADA system.

Control technology functions (Basic Process Control)
Integrated user management
Using WinCC User Administrator, you assign and control
users access rights for configuration and runtime. As the
administrator, you can set up at any time including at run-
3 time up to 128 user groups each containing up to 128 indi-
vidual users and assign them appropriate access rights to
WinCC functions. A total of 999 access rights is possible.
Starting with WinCC V7, SIMATIC Logon is part of the WinCC
basic system. The user administration with SIMATIC Logon
integrates into the security system and user management of
Windows and thus meets enhanced security requirements
according to FDA regulations. SIMATIC Logon comprises a
number of security mechanisms and provides a plant-wide
user management.
Figure 3.1/3 SIMATIC Logon Service at WinCC basic system
User interface
Using WinCC standards, you can create customized config-
ured user interfaces for any application. You can choose from
a comprehensive range of configurable standard objects.
The online language switching option enables you to switch
online between languages during runtime for projects
created for several target languages. Windows elements
like menus and toolbars can be integrated into the WinCC
user interface. WinCC makes it possible to represent screen
sizes of up to 10,000 x 10,000 pixels using intelligent zoom
functions. The view of a process screen in runtime can be
enlarged or reduced using the mouse wheel. When the pic-
ture has been assigned a zoom factor, the mouse can be
used for panning. After clicking on the mouse wheel, a navi-
gation compass appears. Move the mouse pointer to scroll
the picture in the corresponding direction. Using decluttering,
3.1/8 SICAM Substation Automation, Distribution-System Automation and RTUs Product Catalog Edition 1.0
function layers and the objects contained in them can be
displayed and hidden, depending on the zoom factor.
Message system
SIMATIC WinCC doesnt just acquire process messages and
local events, it also stores them in circular archives and then
makes them available as desired on a filtered or sorted basis.
Messages can be derived from individual bits, can be a result
of an alarm message frame directly from the automation sys-
tem or of analog alarms in the case of out-of-limit condi-
tions. Individual acknowledgement procedures, a freely
definable message structure and configurable archiving as
well as logging of messages are additional features. In the
WinCC Alarm Control, the depiction of the messages can be
individually customized. Extensive selection options, e.g. via
a user-specific filter matrix, ensure an optimal overview. The
depiction of messages already swapped out is possible as
well. At the push of a button, the messages depicted can be
exported or printed out as a report. System-specific functions
can be implemented via freely configurable toolbar
functions.
Starting with WinCC V7.0 SP1, a search function is offered in
the Alarm Editor. The filter options in the alarm system have
been supplemented by equals for process value blocks and
contains for text values.
Figure 3.1/4 Message display via WinCC AlarmControl
The message hit list indicates the average and total times
that specific messages have been pending for (message
duration) and, in a similar way, the average and total
acknowledgement time.
Figure 3.1/5 Message display with message hit list
With the function Alarm Hiding, the operator suppresses
unimportant system status messages on the screen display,
though they continue to be archived in the background. The
Hiding List can of course be viewed at any time and individ-
ual or all alarms be displayed again by selection.

Archiving system
Historical values or value progressions are stored in process
value archives. Besides process values, WinCC also archives
messages and application data. The archiving occurs in ring
archives in the integrated, high-performance MS SQL Server
database at a rate of up to 10,000 measured values and 100
messages per second. The storage capacity requirements are
very low due to powerful, lossless compression functions.
The WinCC basic system already allows up to 512 archive
tags to be configured. In the final capacity stage, PowerPacks
enable the expansion to up 120,000 tags. A central, option-
ally redundant, long-term archiving can be implemented via
a central archive server with the option WinCC/Central
Archive Server.
In the TrendControl, current values (online trend curves), his-
torical process values, and desired value trend curves can be
depicted in the same trend display. The depiction of mes-
sages already swapped out is possible as well. In doing so, a
customized scaling of the time axis and the value range can
be performed (e.g. scaling in percent). The time and value
axes of the individual trend curves can be moved online by
mouse movement. This function, for example, can be used
for batch comparisons.
Figure 3.1/6 Online TrendControl
SICAM Substation Automation, Distribution-System Automation and RTUs Product Catalog Edition 1.0
SICAM SCC
SIMATIC WinCC basics
At the push of a button, integrated statistics functions
enable the determination of min., max., average, and stan-
dard deviation as well as the integral calculation. A logarith-
mic depiction of trend curve progressions is also possible.
At the push of a button, the process values selected (high-
lighted) in the TrendControl can be exported to a CSV file or
printed out as a report. In addition, system-specific functions
can be implemented via freely configurable toolbar
functions.
Reporting and logging system
WinCC has an integrated logging system that you can use to
print data from WinCC or from other applications. This sys-
tem prints data that was acquired at runtime in configurable
layouts by means of different types of logs: from message
sequence logs through system message logs and operator
logs up to user reports. Before printing reports, you can save
them as files and preview them on the monitor. WinCC logs
can also contain data from the database and external data in
3
CSV format as a table or a curve in a log.

Overview of the WinCC Editors
In the life cycle of an automation solution, engineering costs
make up as much as 50 % of the total costs. If you want to sig-
nificantly lower costs, you will need simple and efficient tools
for configuring and intuitive operator prompting. SIMATIC
WinCC provides both. WinCC makes available a range of edi-
tors and interfaces that you can use to individually configure
the functionality of your respective application:
3 WinCC Explorer
The WinCC Explorer is the central coordinating point in WinCC
for project management and provides access to all the com-
ponents of WinCC. It gives you a detailed overview of the
loaded project and shows all the files that are associated with
the project.
WinCC Graphics Designer
Graphics system for designing a user interface. Using the
wide range of graphics objects, which are offered on several
tool palettes, you can easily and quickly create complex pro-
cess screens. Parameterizing and linking a graphic object to
an internal PLC tag for animation purposes is as easy as can
be. As soon as a new object has been placed in the picture,
an easy-to-edit dialog box appears.
Figure 3.1/7 WinCC Graphics Designer
Editor for menus and toolbars
Application-specific menus and toolbars can be integrated
into the user interface of the runtime application. These
new user interface elements can be set up, fixed or mov-
able as usual in Windows.
3.1/10 SICAM Substation Automation, Distribution-System Automation and RTUs Product Catalog Edition 1.0
Centrally changeable objects (faceplates)
The configuration can also be performed using modular
construction: Any graphical object can be grouped with
others to form a new, user-specific faceplate, where only
the interface parameters relevant for the process connec-
tion come to the surface. These faceplates are centrally
created and managed. Changes are automatically incorpo-
rated into all places of use.
WinCC Alarm Logging Editor
for configuring the alarm and message system for recording
and logging events with display and operating facilities;
freely selectable message categories, message display and
reporting.
WinCC Tag Logging Editor
for configuring the Archive System which allows the
archiving of process values for acquisition, logging and
compressing measurement values, e.g. for displaying
trends and tables and further processing.
WinCC Report Designer
To document configuration and runtime data, you can gen-
erate logs and reports in WinCC. The supplied layouts cover
the majority of possible applications for documenting your
configuration information, and for logging the runtime
data. Using the WinCC Report Designer, you can change the
default layouts or create new layouts that meet your own
requirements.
SIMATIC NCM PC
Using SIMATIC NCM PC, you can load WinCC projects to the
corresponding target systems. This applies to both single-
user and multi-user configurations. If required, you can also
load WinCC single-user projects on several computers with-
out needing to duplicate the WinCC project. Any changes to
the WinCC project that may become necessary can be car-
ried out later centrally at one location with the system dis-
tributing the changes to all the affected stations. For this,
you use OS references in SIMATIC NCM PC that only contain
a reference to the corresponding projects.
Figure 3.1/8 Object library
 SICAM SCC
SIMATIC WinCC configuration

Wizards and libraries Configuring multilingual applications

Delegating routine tasks helps cutting engineering time:
SIMATIC WinCC supports developers by providing wizards
(assistants) for easy configuration tasks. The message wiz-
ard, for example, offers default settings that developers can
confirm or modify. Preview windows show the effect of the
chosen parameters. If the developer confirms the settings,
he can implement cost-effective and practical solutions in a
very short time.
Once graphic objects have been created, the library makes it
possible to reuse them in other pictures and/or projects.
Developers can create company-, technology- or industry-
specific standards, making it quick and easy to create proj-
ects. The objects for those projects are finished and sorted by
topic in the library and can be brought into the pictures via
drag & drop. Inserting objects in the library is just as easy. In
order to be able to make full use of multiple languages in
WinCCs runtime mode, objects like these should be config-
ured in several languages.
Engineering of large projects
To keep an overview of the host of tags, images and functions
that are used in a project, WinCC offers a cross-reference list
that can be generated individually on the basis of filter set-
tings. You create the cross-reference list using the Cross Refer-
ence Editor.
The configuration user interface of the WinCC system soft-
ware can be switched between English, German, French,
Spanish, and Italian. WinCC is also offered in an ASIAN ver-
sion for China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. The configuration
user interface of the Asian version of WinCC is switchable
between the respective Asian national language installed
and English. With that, configuration personnel from other
countries can make any necessary changes to the project in
the English configuration environment, e.g. in case of
maintenance.
3
Figure 3.1/10 Multilingual applications
The texts for the runtime application can be edited in all pri-
mary languages of Windows. Besides static texts, this also
includes the tooltips. At the push of a button, a switch
between these languages can be executed while in runtime.
For the export and import of all texts in the CSV format, the
WinCC Text Distributor is provided, through which the transla-
tion can be easily carried out via standard tools.
To facilitate the translation of message texts, a text block
library (Text Library) exists, which in tabular form lists the
terms used in the individual languages. Convenient filter
mechanisms make working with large quantity structures
easier.

Figure 3.1/9 Cross Reference Editor

For convenient and quick configuration of mass data, WinCC

provides a configuration tool based on Microsoft Excel. You
can read in existing projects and create new ones. In addition
to process connections and process tags, you can edit mea-
sured value archives, alarm messages and the Text Library.

The table format allows convenient editing, which also

includes auto fill-in. Experienced users can expand their
options by using macros based on VBA (Visual Basic for
Applications).

is a typical WinCC flexible task. To cope with growing require-
ments, regarding functionality and quantities, you can
employ a WinCC single-user system with a corresponding
number of system variables (Power Tags). To face even more
ambitious tasks, you can build up a powerful client/server
system by employing the WinCC/Server option. The server
option allows you to set up coordinated operator stations
(multi-user system) from single-user systems at any time.

In this way, you can deploy a total of up to 12 WinCC servers

and 32 WinCC clients per server in a contiguous plant config-
uration. This allows the overall application to be distributed
among a number of servers, according to the physical plant
structure (e.g. body-in-white-shop, paint-shop etc.) or on a
functional basis (e.g. alarm server, archive server etc.).

Redundant server solutions
The WinCC/Redundancy option gives the user the opportu-
nity to operate two linked WinCC server PCs in parallel in
order to monitor each other. On the failure of one of the
servers, the second server assumes control of the entire sys-
tem. When the failed server resumes operation, the contents
of all message and process value archives are copied back to
the restored server. The automatic switch to the redundancy
partner within the framework of WinCC/Redundancy is not
only carried out in the case of a failed server, but also in the
case of a faulty process communication.
Web-client solutions
The WinCC/Web Navigator makes monitoring and even oper-
ating a plant possible from the Internet or intranet. The Web
Navigator consists of a combination of Web Navigator Server
and Web Navigator Client. The web server can be a WinCC
single-user station or any station in a WinCC Client/Server
configuration.
A Web Navigator Server depending on its license can sup-
ply up to 50 clients with process screens, messages and cur-
rent process data.

Thin-client solutions
With Simatic WinCC, you can implement client/server config-
urations, in which simply equipped Window PCs, rugged
Windows CE-based terminals (e.g. SIMATIC Thin Clients) or
mobile handheld devices can be employed as operating sta-
tions. WinCC uses an innovative thin-client strategy that
combines the advantages of the Web and terminal server
technologies.
Solutions of this type make minimal requirements of the
hardware, since the application itself runs on the terminal
server. Up to 25 thin clients can be connected to one termi-
nal server. In this case, the clients only have the purpose of
entering data and of sending this data to a terminal server.
The terminal server carries out the actual processing (for
instance updating process screens) and returns the resulting
screen output to the client, which then displays it on its
monitor.

Virtualization with SIMATIC WinCC
Virtualization with SIMATIC WinCC
Cost-effective, resilient and flexible IT infrastructures
Overview
Description
Benefits
Hardware and software requirements
Options released for virtual environments
Description
To reduce the administration and maintenance effort, the
automation world is turning increasingly to virtualization and
the opportunity it provides to decouple applications from
hardware. This enables centralized management and further
simplifies backing up and restoring the system environment.
Client environments can be installed once and distributed
among one or two virtualization servers using virtual ses-
sions (instances).
3 It is also much easier to implement IT security solutions on
central virtualization servers than on numerous client sta-
tions. Last but not least, virtualization eliminates the restric-
tion of target devices to a particular hardware, thus allowing
even more complex applications to run on simple, low-cost
and robust thin clients. In addition to WinCC Clients,
WinCC Servers can now also be used with WinCC V7.0 SP3
under VMware ESXi, and engineering stations under
VMware Workstation or VMware Player.
This means that complex client/server structures as well as
single-user systems can be configured with virtual environ-
ments. In addition, the engineering can be implemented
with a client-based VMware, which will significantly reduce
the effort for installation and maintenance.
Figure 3.1/15 Virtualization
3.1/14 SICAM Substation Automation, Distribution-System Automation and RTUs Product Catalog Edition 1.0
In this way, all WinCC guest systems can be monitored via
the central administration of the VMware Server.
Benefits
Virtual technologies permit cost-effective, resilient and flexi-
ble IT infrastructures. Above that, virtualization provides the
following benefits:
Reduction of the hardware costs
Reduced HW costs by consolidation of several physical com-
puters. More cost-effective hardware can be used on the
client side. Additional application areas: Thin-client solu-
tions (PC, Panel, mobile PDA).
Reduced effort for maintenance
Shorter times for updates and backups, because these can
be executed centrally. Reduced maintenance costs due to
central administration. Server configuration by means of
remote management tools.
Increased security
Increased security due to remote access and centralized
rights management. Reduced risk of attacks with thin
clients, central protection on the virtual server. Increased
availability. Hardware replacement on the virtual server
is possible during operation.
Increased flexibility
Additional clients can easily be connected by starting
another VMware Session.

variables give you higher performance profiles and thus sup-
port you in enhancing the system to a central archive server,
which can also archive other data from the production pro-
cess for long periods of time and make available analysis
tools.

Using a variety of open interfaces, you can further process

archive data using any external tools you like at any time you
choose.

Scripting
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
For individual customizing and extensions to the configura-
tion tool, VBA has been integrated into the WinCC Graphics
Designer which is the user-friendly standard environment
for application-specific extensions. This means that the
Visual Basic knowledge that is available to many engineers
and users is transportable to WinCC. And apart from this,
standards for repeat engineering tasks save time and money!
This means that you can define any menu entries or fast con-
figuration dialogs you like for your own user-specific objects.
VBScript or ANSI-C
Normally, pictures, logic operations and animation are con-
figured via simple dialogs. Scripts can also be programmed
using VBScript or in ANSI-C when necessary, for example to
convert values, to initiate a report or to generate operator
messages.
VBScript has its own user-friendly editor with debugging sup-
port. The scripts themselves have access to the properties
and methods of all WinCC graphics objects, to controls and
to the object model of WinCC as well as applications of other
manufacturers.

Openness with SIMATIC WinCC
Open programming interfaces C-API
The WinCC function modules are open due to API interfaces
that allow access to the data and functions of the configura-
tion and runtime system. This means that you can use WinCC
configuration and runtime functions in your scripts or even
develop stand-alone applications with direct access to
WinCC. And by using the WinCC/Open Development Kit
(ODK), accessing the programming interfaces is really easy.
Communication
OPC OLE for Process Control
OPC is a uniform procedure that allows Windows applications
to access process data. This makes it easy to combine devices
and applications produced by other manufacturers.
As an OPC DA client, WinCC can log on locally or across the net-
work in the case of lower-level controllers for current process
data and has this data sent to it from the associated OPC DA
server on a cyclical basis. In the other direction, the WinCC OPC
DA server can make available current process data to other
3
OPC-compatible applications like Microsoft Excel for further
processing.
With OPC XML DA, this is even possible across platforms for dif-
ferent operating systems via the Web between WinCC and
office applications, ERP/PPS systems (e.g. SAP/R3) or business-
to-business portals. You can implement access to WinCC
archive data via OPC HDA (Historical Data Access) or by
employing WinCC OLE DB-Provider via Microsoft
DTSX-Packages.
When using the WinCC options Connectivity Pack and Connec-
tivity Station, you can also access historical alarms via OPC
A&E. In OPC A&E, the system displays a WinCC message as an
alarm and, together with all the ancillary process values, passes
it on to any subscribers on the production or company man-
agement levels.
OPC A&E and OPC HDA are in the scope of delivery of the
WinCC/Connectivity Pack option.
