Notes on Safety

This manual does not constitute a complete catalog of all safety measures required for
operating the equipment (module, device) in question because special operating conditions
might require additional measures. However, it does contain notes that must be adhered to for
your own personal safety and to avoid damage to property. These notes are highlighted with a
warning triangle and different keywords indicating different degrees of danger.

Danger
means that death, serious bodily injury or considerable property damage will occur, if the appropriate
precautionary measures are not carried out.

Warning
means that death, serious bodily injury or considerable property damage can occur, if the appropriate
precautionary measures are not carried out.

Caution
means that minor bodily injury or property damage could occur, if the appropriate precautionary measures
are not carried out.

Note
is important information about the product, the handling of the product or the respective part of the
documentation, to which special attention is to be given.

Qualified Personnel

Commissioning and operation of the equipment (module, device) described in this manual
must be performed by qualified personnel only. As used in the safety notes contained in this
manual, qualified personnel are those persons who are authorized to commission, release,
ground, and tag devices, systems, and electrical circuits in accordance with safety standards.

Preface

Use as Prescribed

The equipment (device, module) must not be used for any other purposes than those
described in the Catalog and the Technical Description. If it is used together with third-party
devices and components, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens.

Correct and safe operation of the product requires adequate transportation, storage,
installation, and mounting as well as appropriate use and maintenance.

During operation of electrical equipment, it is unavoidable that certain parts of this equipment
will carry dangerous voltages. Severe injury or damage to property can occur if the
appropriate measures are not taken:

Before making any connections at all, ground the equipment at the PE terminal.

· Hazardous voltages can be present on all switching components connected to the power
supply.
· The device does not represent a safety-oriented application.
· Even after the supply voltage has been disconnected, hazardous voltages can still be
present in the equipment (capacitor storage).
· Equipment with current transformer circuits must not be operated while open.
· The limit values indicated in the manual or the operating instructions must not be
exceeded; that also applies to testing and commissioning.

Danger
Consider obligatory the safety rules for the accomplishment of works at electrical plants:

1. Switch off electricity all-pole and on all sides!

2. Ensure that electricity cannot be switched on again!
3. Double check that no electrical current is flowing!
4. Discharge, ground, short circuit!
5. Cover or otherwise isolate components that are still electrically active!

Statement of Conformity

The product described conforms to the regulations of the following European Directives:

· EMV-Directive 2004/108/EG
(observance of the harmonized standard EN 60870-2-1:1996)
· Low-voltage Directive 2006/95/EG
(observance of the harmonized standard EN 61010-1:2010)

1.1 Overview

1.1.1 Application

The SICAM I/O modules are used for external expansion of SICAM CMIC systems with
additional in- and outputs. The modules can only be used in combination to SICAM CMIC and
the coupling module for SICAM I/O modules.

SICAM CMIC systems are suitable for electrical distribution substations, gas distribution
substations, hydropower plants, pipelines and railway power supplies.

The SICAM I/O modules are used in the peripheral element of the product SICAM CMIC from
the SICAM RTUs system family.

1.3 Commissioning

1.3.1 Mounting

Precondition for the mounting of the SICAM I/O module is, that the SICAM CMIC, which
should be expanded, is already equipped with the coupling module and mounted on the DIN
rail.

Then you can mount the bus connector, which is delivered with the SICAM I/O module, on the
DIN rail and press it into the connector of the coupling module. Afterwards you can plug the
SICAM I/O module on the bus connector.

The removal and plugging of SICAM I/O Modules is permitted also in operation (energized).
The behavior is dependent of the respective system type and oft he firmware oft he peripheral
element.

Note
For details about the mounting refer to the SICAM CMIC User Manual.

1.3.2 Electrical Connection

· Check that the operational data match the rated data on the label and the technical data of
the device.
· Connect the process-devices to the screw terminals.
Cabinet-internal wiring is preferably carried out with plastic-insulated cables according to
DIN VDE 298 T4 2/89. Types: H05V-K (0.5…1 mm²), H07V-K (1.5…2.5 mm²). Use only
copper wires.

Note
The SICAM I/O module has no ON/OFF switch. It is switched ON/OFF with the SICAM CMIC.

1.3.3 Labeling

The following places on the SICAM I/O modules are reserved for labels:

· Bevel at the housing front, top

2D code for scanning and readable serial number (upon delivery already sticked)

· Bevel at the housing front, bottom

Operational equipment indicator (free definable)

2.6.6.4 Medium Voltage/Low Voltage Measurement

The voltages in the medium-voltage network are determined by measuring the voltages from
the low-voltage network (secondary side of the transformer).

The voltage inputs U1, U2, U3 are directly connected with 230 V in the low-voltage network.
The current inputs I1, I2/IN, I3 are connected through the adaptor module CM-8820 with the
corresponding measuring sensors in the medium-voltage network.

In this configuration, the module determines the direction of phase fault and ground fault.

These connection diagrams are used for solidly grounded networks.

Note
The module supports Dy-11 transformer type only. For this type, the secondary side of the transformer
lags the primary side by a phase angle of 330°.
