Overview

All SICAM PAS software components are available on the SICAM PAS CD. The delivered dongle as well as the function-specific passwords determine which software components are enabled on the computer.

Contents

1.1 System Types 12

(13)

1.1 System Types

SICAM PAS can be operated in two different configurations:

 SICAM PAS configured as a stand-alone system runs completely on a stand-alone computer. The SICAM PAS Full Server, the SICAM PAS data distribution system, the RDBMS and the user interface are located on this computer. Protocol drivers and additional SICAM PAS components can also reside on this computer.

 SICAM PAS configured as a distributed system runs on several computers. The following rules apply in this configuration:

 One of these computers is used as the SICAM PAS Full Server . The SICAM PAS data distribution system, the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) and the user interface are located on this computer. Protocol drivers and certain other applications can also reside on this computer.

Every distributed SICAM PAS configuration must have exactly one SICAM PAS Full Server.

 The other computers in this configuration are operated as Device Interface Processors (DIPs). The protocol drivers and in some cases also the user interface reside on these computers.

Both SICAM PAS types are installed using the same installation routine. The installation process of these two SICAM PAS types is almost identical. During the installation, you only need to specify whether the computer is to be operated as a stand-alone system/SICAM PAS Full Server or as a Device Interface Processor. It is nevertheless essential to understand which type of system you are installing.

Note

To install a distributed SICAM PAS system, it is i mportant to install the SICAM PAS Full Server before any other Device Interface Processor and to ensure that the SICAM PAS Full Server is connected to the network and operational.

(14)

1.2 Installation Variants

The following SICAM PCC variants can be installed:

 demo version and

 licensed version

The SICAM PAS installation CD holds all files relating to the software components. During the installation process, you must specify whether a licensed version or a demo version is to be installed.

Demo version

The Demo mode does not require a dongle and optional features do not need to be enabled via passwords.

SICAM PAS is installed as a stand-alone system (see Chapter 1.1) in the demo version. In Demo mode, SICAM PAS runs approximately three hours. After three hours, all protocol drives and the central server stop, but the configuration manager still runs. Each time you reboot your computer, the optional features require another three hours. Be aware of the following additional restrictions:

 Projects created in the demo version cannot be used in the full version.

 Distributed SICAM PAS functions (i. e. operation of several computers in one single SICAM PAS system) are not supported by the demo version.

Licensed version

The Licensed mode does not require a dongle. Optional features can be enabled by means of passwords.

In the licensed version, SICAM PAS can be installed and operated both as a stand-alone system and as a distributed system (see Chapter 1.1).

(16)

Overview

SICAM PAS is a 32-bit application with specific requirements with regard to the hardware components and the operating system. Additionally, it must be ensured that the network has been properly installed.

Contents

2.1 Configuring the Windows Network Operation 16

2.2 Basic Hardware Components 17

2.3 Operating System 18

(17)

2.1 Configuring the Windows Network Operation

Be aware of the items mentioned below when operating SICAM PAS. TCP/IP must be installed in every case, i. e. even in a stand-alone system.

 Your com puter mu st be assign ed a valid TCP/IP name. Be aware that TCP/IP name conventions are stricter than Windows conventions. The most common mistake in selecting host names is assigning a name which includes one or more blanks or special characters. For example, My PC is a valid name under Windows. Due to the blank included, it cannot be used with TCP/IP.

 TCP/IP must b e confi gured befo re the SICAM PAS inst allation . SICAM PAS cannot be installed properly without a configured TCP/IP. The use of an Ethernet adapter facilitates the configuration of TCP/IP.

 Power saving features: Many hardware components have so-called power saving features installed, usually as part of the BIOS on the computer. These features slow down or stop the system CPU during a period of inactivity. Additionally, the screen display enters the save mode, the hard disk stops rotating, etc. As almost no industrial standards are available for these features, they may vary significantly depending on the individual manufacturer and model. For this reason, we cannot warrant that the SICAM PAS software runs without any problems if these features have been enabled.

 The configuration may require some additional steps, especially if you want to operate SICAM PAS in a network with other computers. These steps also include the creation of an LMHOSTS file (for the assignment of IP addresses to computer names), the configuration of an ftp server, the DNS (Domain Name Services) configuration, etc. As they are not required for the operation of SICAM PAS, they are not described in the present manual - please refer to the corresponding Windows documents.

 For a distributed SICAM PAS system, the Windows network interfacing must be configured on each computer in the system.

 For a remote computer, it is recommended to configure Windows on the SICAM PAS computer in such a way as to ensure that the computer reboots automatically after a failure. Refer to your Windows documentation for instructions.

2.4 Further Requirements

The following prerequisites must be met for the installation of the SICAM PAS software:

 You must be logged on as a user with administrator rights.

 To install SICAM PAS and SICAM PAS CC on the same computer, both components must be installed in Version V6.00.

 Install the TCP/IP network interfacing for Windows before installing SICAM PAS. For more detailed information on the installation of the network interfacing for Windows, refer to the Windows documentation.

 To configure SICAM PAS for the data exchange with PROFIBUS DP/FMS devices, install the PROFIBUS interface card (CP5613/14) and the related software components before installing SICAM PAS.

 If SICAM PAS is already installed on your computer and you want to perform a reinstallation, the system prompts you to uninstall the already installed SICAM PAS version. Uninstall the old version and reboot your computer.

Your existing database is not deleted during the uninstallation process. Nevertheless it is recommended to back up your database prior to uninstallation. During a reinstallation of SICAM PAS, the system prompts you to specify whether the existing database is to be maintained or overwritten.

 A Sybase SQL Anywhere 9.0 database is created within the framework of SICAM PAS installation. If an SQL Anywhere database already exists on your computer, refer to your Sybase documentation for more details on the potential effects of a reinstallation. Be aware that not all SQL Anywhere utilities are installed together with SICAM PAS.

 To install a distributed SICAM PAS system, i. e. a SICAM PAS Full Server together with one or several Device Interface Processors (DIPs), the SICAM PAS Full Server must be installed first. During the installation of a DIP, the data exchange with the SICAM PAS Full Server must be possible.

5.1 SICAM PAS Features

This section describes how features can be enabled.

5.1.1 Gen er al Inf or mat io n

Software prot ection f or SICAM PAS

The SICAM PAS features are distributed among several software modules, most of which are optional. To facilitate the installation of the SICAM PAS software, the delivered CD-ROM includes the software modules of the basic system (e. g. SICAM PAS main program) as well as all optional features.

A dongle is required for the installation of the basic system (licensed version).

Optional features must be enabled using the correct password. These passwords are only valid for one single dongle. If you purchase several SICAM PAS licenses, you receive a separate kit including one dongle each as well as the correct passwords. The passwords relating to a dongle can only be used with this individual dongle. Store these passwords i n a safe place - you will need them again in case of a SICAM PAS reinstallation.

Before the start of the SICAM PAS software components, the system checks whether the entered password matches the data stored in the dongle. During the execution of the components, the system checks at regular intervals whether the dongle is still available. If this dongle is missing or removed duri ng operation, the SICAM PAS software runs for approximately 5 minutes. Afterwards, the SICAM PAS functionality is restricted.

(53)

5.2 Several SICAM PAS Versions Installed on the Same PC

General information

VMware 5.x allows you to operate several virtual computers ("virtual machines") from one single computer. Each virtual computer behaves like an autonomous computer with an individual audio/ video and network interface card and an individual hard disk. You can switch between the virtual computers by clicking the mouse button.

Set up a virtual computer to operate two SICAM PAS versions (e. g. SICAM PAS V5.10 and SICAM PAS V6.00) in parallel on the same computer. On the real computer (with host operating system), install SICAM PAS V6.00: On the virtual computer (with guest operating system), install SICAM PAS V5.10.

Alternatively, you can install the two SICAM PAS versions on two virtual computers.

As the use of special PC communications cards (CP5613/14, USB) is not supported by VMware 5.x, only the PAS UI - Confi gurati on and Feature Enabler components can be executed. In order to ensure that the PAS UI - Operati on and Value Viewer components and the runt ime syst em (DSI) operate properly, standard COM interfaces should be used.

For the reasons menitoned above, two SICAM PAS versions should only be installed on a computer which is exclusively used for the configuration of SICAM PAS systems.

Virtual computers

VMware supports the following three different variants of virtual computers:

 VMware Workstatio n

 VMware Server

With VMware Server virtual computers are accessed via the VMware Consol e.

 VMware Player

With the VMware Player, you can only run an existing virtual computer. However, you can neither create a new virtual computer nor modify an existing one, since the VMware Player does not support these operations.

In order to be able to execute the steps described below, the VMware Workstatio n must have been installed according to the corresponding instructions.

Note

Virtual computers may only be run with operating systems released for SICAM PAS (see Chapter 2.3).

(54)

Setting up the virtual computer

To install SICAM PAS on a virtual computer, the following settings must be specified in the VMware Workstatio n:

 Under Settings, modify the COMx settings to Physical serial por t. Specify this setting for all COM ports required for the SICAM PAS configuration.

pasinst52.tif

Fig. 5-4 Microsoft Virtual PC, specifying settings for the COM interface

 Under Settings, modify the LPT1 settings to Physical parallel port to ensure that the dongle is detected.

(55)

 Under Settings, modify the settings for Networking. Select the Shared Networ king (NAT) setting for the adapter used.

This setting is required in order to be able to access the LAN of the host operating system from the guest operating system (virtual computer), e. g. to set up a SICAM PAS DIP installation with connection to a SICAM PAS Full Server database on another computer.

The LAN settings of the guest operating system must be checked in this case (see paragraph below).

Fig. 5-5 Microsoft Virtual PC, settings

 For the Internet protocol (TCP/IP), activate Au to mat icall y i nt egr ate IP addr ess in the properties. Next, check the connection to any other computer in the LAN via Ping.

 Install the Virtual Machine Additi ons for the virtual computer. These additions are e. g. used to transmit files from the host operating system to the guest operating system viaDrag&Drop. Installin g SICAM PAS

To install SICAM PAS, the virtual computer (guest operating system) must run on the console and be able to access the SICAM PAS installation CD.

For more detailed information on how to install SICAM PAS on the virtual computer,refer to Section 3.

Note

You can install both the Full Server and the Device Interface Processo r (DIP) on a virtual computer.

5.3 Installing a Modem

Overview

IEC 60870-5-101 is a protocol that is widely used for communication with remote terminal units. In a typical configuration, SICAM PCC is the IEC 60870-5-101 master station which

communicates with a substation. This substation acts as a master for different bay devices. From the perspective of SICAM PCC, this RTU can be considered to be acting as a "proxy" for these bay devices.

paskonfig.wmf

Fig. 5-6 Example of a configuration based on the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol

In such a configuration, the substation can be communicate with SICAM PAS through a serial connection (COM port) using either a dedicated (leased) telephone line or a dial-up connection (via modem).

If a modem connection is used, the modem must have been properly installed on the SICAM PCC station computer. Modems can be installed via the Windows Control Panel.

The following modems can be used:

 ISDN modem (INSYS ISDN for miniRTU)

 ISDN card (e. g. AVM ISDN FRITZ! CARD PCI V2.0)

 Analog modem (INSYS modem 336 for miniRTU)

Installing a modem

To install a modem for an IEC 60870-5-101 interface under Windows XP:

• _{To open the Windows Control Panel, click Start}>_Settings >_{Control Panel.}

• _{Double-click on Phone and Modem Options. The Phone and Modem Optio ns dialog}

opens.

Fig. 5-9 Selecting a modem

• _{Select your modem (ISDN or analog modem) from the Install New Modem window.}

Note

You may be informed via a message that the Windows Logo Test was not passed. Ignore this message and click to continue the installation.

Note

For the modem link to work properly, the miniRTU must be configured in such a way that the INSYS modem uses the same data transmission protocol as the modem on the SICAM PCC computer.

In the example above, the data protocol is V.110. In this case, the configuration string e.g. of an ISDN modem would be: ATE0&KS0=1&C1&D2V1X0B0N4&WZ (the most important value is B0, since it defines the type of protocol).

The configuration string must be modified accordingly if an analog modem is used (refer to the operating instructions of the analog modem).

The following applies for the selection of the protocol:

Connect two ISDN modems based on the X.75 protocol. In the configuration string of the INSYS ISDN TA modem, the B0 value changes to B10.

(59)

• _{Click Next.}

• _{Select the modem interface from the next dialog and then click Next.}

• _{In the dialog that opens now, click Finish to complete the configuration of the modem.}

The new modem is now listed in the Modems tab.

pasinst63.tif

Fig. 5-10 Listed modems

Using an ISDN card

An ISDN card (e. g. AVM ISDN FRITZ! CARD PCI V2.0) can be used as an alternative to a modem.

To use the ISDN card with SICAM PAS, the AVM ISDN CAPI port driver must be installed. The installation of the driver and of the virtual modem is described in detail in the ISDN card installation manual of the corresponding manufacturer.

When installing the driver, you can select from numerous installable virtual modems. To use it under SICAM PAS, it is recommended to install modems working with the X.75 protocol, such as:

 AVM ISDN - ISDN (X.75)

 AVM ISDN Mailbox (X.75)

The virtual modems can be selected from the Modem Parameters dialog after their installation in order to use them under SICAM PAS.

Note

If the ISDN card is also used by other programs, these programs must be deactivated before using the card for SICAM PAS. Otherwise, these programs may cause communication problems.

(60)

5.4 Sett ing up t he OPC Server

When using the SICAM PAS option OPC Server , you must define settings for DCOM

(Distributed Component Object Model). The Microsoft tool dcomcnfg.exe is required for this purpose.
