3.1.3 Communication with the Engineering System
(SICAM TOOLBOX II)
For the communication between the SICAM TOOLBOX II and CP-8000/CP-802x exist differ-
ent variants:
• Physical connection
─ Locally by means of a direct cable (RS-232 interface)
─ Remotely
− Serial communication link via modems (RS-232 or RS-485 interface)
− Ethernet connection (TCP/IP) and Terminal Server (RS-232 interface)
− Ethernet connection (TCP/IP)
• Logical connection of the SICAM TOOLBOX II with that automation unit, that is the subject
of the engineering task:
─ Local automation unit
(that is that one, to which the physical connection exists, regardless in which of the
previously mentioned forms)
─ Remote automation unit
(automation unit that can be reached via the local automation unit; consistent remote
communication according to IEC 60870-5-101 or -104 is required)
Except for first-time initialization processes, all tasks are possible in each of the variants listed
above:
• Parameter setting
• Diagnostics
• Test
• Load firmware, load parameters
3.1.4 Simplified Engineering via SICAM WEB
For simple engineering tasks a webserver resides on the Master Module. The webserver pro-
vides the menus for the engineering and maintenance designed as websites. The engineering
takes place online via the Microsoft Internet Explorer ®.
The following functions are supported:
• Configuration of I/O Master Module and protocol elements
• System-technical parameter-setting
• Diagnosis
• Event list, alarm list
• Process display, process simulation
• Load backup file, save backup file
• Application program handling (IL)
─ Configuration
─ Load code
─ Diagnosis
─ Online test
