SICAM PAS
Description
SICAM PAS
SICAM PAS (Power Automation System) can meet all the demands made by a distributed substation control system – both now and in the future too. SICAM PAS was conceived as an open system, i.e. besides providing standardized data transfer processes, it features user interfaces for the integration of system-specific tasks. SICAM PAS can thus be integrated with ease in existing systems and can be used for system integration too. With modern diagnostics, it optimally supports commissioning and maintenance. SICAM PAS is clearly structured and reliable, thanks to its open, fully documented and tested system.
Features and Benefits
System overview, application and functionality of SICAM PAS
SICAM PAS is an energy automation solution; its system architecture makes it scalable.
SICAM PAS is suitable for operating a substation not only from one single station computer (station unit), but also in combination with other SICAM PAS systems or station control units. Communication in this network is based on a powerful Fiber Optic / Ethernet LAN.
With its features and its modular expandability, SICAM PAS covers a broad range of applications and supports distributed system configurations. A distributed SICAM PAS system operates simultaneously on several computers.
SICAM PAS can use existing hardware components and communication standards as well as their connections.
SICAM PAS controls and registers the process data for all devices of a substation, within the scope of the data transfer protocols supported.
SICAM PAS is a communication gateway. This is why only one single data connection to a higher-level system control center is required.
SICAM PAS enables integration of a fully graphical process visualization system directly in the substation.
SICAM PAS simplifies installation and parameterization of new devices, thanks to its intuitive user interface.
SICAM PAS is noteworthy for its online parameter setting features, particularly when the system has to be expanded. There are no generation times, and there is no need for loading into a target system (unless configuration is performed on a separate engineering PC).
SICAM PAS features integrated testing and diagnostic functions. Its user-friendliness, its operator control logic, its orientation to the Windows world and its open structure ideally suit users’ requirements.
