SICAM 8 Software Solution
Software that can be used on different hardware with Linux Real Time operating system!

Part of SICAM 8

Practical Example
Our aim:
• Install SICAM S8000 on the LINUX PC
• Integrate a SIPROTEC 5 device via
IEC61850
LINUX PC with pre-installed
LINUX Debian 11
IEC 61850

Practical Example
Step 1
Linux Installation: Installing the LINUX PREEMPT_RT patch
IEC 61850

First we must determine whether
the required Real Time package
is already installed or not
To do that you must first

open the Terminal

Through the "uname –a" command
we can find it out
If no "PREEMPT_RT" text,
then the RT Patch must be installed

To do that we must switch to the
"root" user with the command "su –"
Then we type the password

for user "root"
This shows that the user "root"

is active in the terminal

To install the RT Patch
you need internet connection.
Then you type: apt-get install linux-
image-rt-amd64, and then ENTER

Then, we confirm the warning
about required disk space with Y,
and then we click ENTER…

The update has been installed.

Now, we must reboot the machine...

After reboot we can check
in the terminal with the command
"uname –a" if the RT Patch
has been properly installed.

Practical Example
Step 1
Installing the S8000 Instance in the LINUX PC
IEC 61850

We need to copy the S8000
installation file into the LINUX PC
So first, we will open the Files
application.
For that, we click on "Activities"
And then on "Files"
Now, we can bring the installation

file through a USB Pen Drive

We can easily copy
the installation file…

And now we can paste it
in the Home folder

Where we can extract it…

And now we can rename
the extracted folder…
maybe as S8000
Now we open the Terminal

via Activities – typing "T",
and then click on "Terminal"

Now we open the Terminal
via Activities – typing "T",
and then click on "Terminal"

And we will browse in the
terminal to the S8000 folder
by typing "cd S8000" We also
browse in the Files application.

Now we will install the S8000
package.
We need to elevate the privileges
of our user, so we use
the command "sudo su"

And now we install the S8000
package with the command
"./setup.sh"

When prompted, we give a name
for the instance of SICAM S8000
we are installing.
Example: SICORE1
And then we continue with ENTER

The setup has been finished
Now, pay attention to the file

system_config.json where the links
between PC and the factory settings
of the S8000 instance are defined.

Here you can see the definition of the engineering ip
address, and the link between the physical Ethernet
port in the PC (in this case, ens33) and the internal LAN
port defined in S8000 (seth0).
Normally you don‘t have to change anything in this file.

The file is created automatically matching the MAC Addresses
of the physical Ethernet ports available in the PC.
But you can check and adapt there the mapping done
between the physical interfaces (e.g. ens33) and the S8000
LAN interfaces (e.g. seth0)

The final step is to start the S8000 service of the installed
instance. Since we named this S8000 instance "SICORE1",
the service can be started with the line command:
"systemctl start SICORE1"
After having done that, even if we reboot the PC again, upon

start up the S8000 service will be started automatically.

Practical Example
Step 2: Engineering the S8000 Instance in SICAM Device Manager
IEC 61850

We will show the configuration in a new project,
which we have called "S8000Proj"

In order to be able to configure a SICAM S8000
instance, the minimum SICAM Device Manager
version required is the version 4

The first step is to equip the SICAM S8000 firmware in SICAM Device Manager.
In the current version this firmware is included by default, but there will always be
updates available, and the update process is exactly the same.
First you go to the hamburger button on the upper-left corner…
And then to "Applications"

And now you press the
button to import new
firmware into SICAM
Device Manager

Then, you browse to the location where the
applications are stored, and you select one-by-one
each firmware or application you want to import.

Then, all the firmware of the selected applications will be imported
into SICAM Device Manager, so it will be accessible for configuration
of the corresponding applications.
The check button will close the window and will bring us back to the place
in SICAM Device Manager where we were before we started importing
the applications.

We will now create a new device through the add device button
on the upper-right corner…

We will define the name…
The device type…
And the engineering address (we should leave the default value at first),
Region and component number, and CASDU1 and CASDU2, exactly as we
do when configuring a SICAM A8000

Now we can click on the container that has been created for the configuration
of our SICAM S8000

We will first configure the SICAM S8000 hardware

We add the CPU…

We add the CPU…

We add the CPU…with the corresponding firmware for the core system and SICAM Web

We can now check the properties
of the created CPU…
We can now check the properties where the internal ethernet connection
of the created CPU… seth0 is included
Next, we go to Home…and from there,
to "Communication"
There, the LAN interface LAN1 is

defined and assigned to the virtual
Ethernet interface defined
in the hardware

Under "Server
services" it can be
defined through
which LAN
the configuration
of the S8000
will be possible

Now, we go back to "Home" again, and we will go
to the box "Application configuration", where we can
equip the S8000 with the firmware for the applications
we want to have there.

The core firmware
(SICORE) has been
already equipped
as we created
the S8000

Under "S8000 RTU"
we can enter the
standard RTU
firmware…
So we add first
the master
component…

And now, within
the central master
component, we will
add the firmware for
the communication
protocols. In our
case we are
interested in the
ETI5 firmware
for IEC61850

Finally, we can also
check here the
Firmware for
SICAM Web

Now that we have equipped the IEC61850 firmware, we can
proceed to integrate the SIPROTEC 5 device. This is done
in exactly the same way it is done on any SICAM A8000 RTU.

We must go to the ETI5 client box of the corresponding PRE…

And now we select the "import" button on the upper-right corner…
where we now select the configuration file to import

(CID/IID/SCD)

We select now the device to import…

And the information to import…





We confirm the selection…

Practical Example
Step 3 – Loading the S8000 configuration on the LINUX PC
IEC 61850

The loading is performed from SICAM Device Manager
on the device configuration going back to Home, and then going
to the box "Upload & Download"

After the first connection the
warning related to untrusted
certificates is displayed.
Then, a user name and password

is requested.
Since this is the initialization
of the S8000, the user name is
"administrator", and there is no
associated password, so this field
is left blank

The S8000 will request then to define
a new password.

The comparison between what has been loaded (nothing, since the S8000 is in factory settings)
and what is in SICAM Device Manager is displayed here.
We are advised to initialize the S8000.
We do this through the "Upload to device" button

Once ready, SDM indicates that all the update has been successful

We can now use SICAM Web to monitor our newly configured
SICAM S8000
