Personnel Qualified in Electrical Engineering
Only qualified electrical engineering personnel may commission and operate the equipment (module, device)
described in this document. Qualified electrical engineering personnel in the sense of this manual are people
who can demonstrate technical qualifications as electrical technicians. These persons may commission, iso-
late, ground, and label devices, systems and circuits according to the standards of safety engineering.
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.
If the device is not used in accordance with the Product Information and this manual, the scheduled protection
is impaired.
Problem-free and safe operation of the product depends on the following:
• Proper transport
• Proper storage, setup, and installation
• Proper operation and maintenance
When electrical equipment is operated, hazardous voltages are inevitably present in certain parts. If proper ac-
tion is not taken, death, severe injury, or property damage can result.
• The equipment must be grounded at the grounding terminal before any connections are made.
• All circuit components connected to the power supply may be subject to dangerous voltage.
• Hazardous voltages may be present in equipment even after the supply voltage has been disconnected
(capacitors can still be charged).
• Equipment with exposed current transformer circuits must not be operated. Prior to disconnecting the
equipment, ensure that the current transformer circuits are short-circuited.
• The limit values stated in the document may not be exceeded. This must also be considered during testing
and commissioning.

Application
The SICAM Q100 is a multifunctional device for the detection, processing, and evaluation of measured quan-
tities and events according to IEC 61000-4-30, class A, power quality (PQ) standard. The energy management
functions also allow determining load profiles and setting up to 8 tariffs. The device is used on all voltage levels
of power supply systems. SICAM Q100 is used in 1-phase systems and in 3-wire and 4-wire systems (with
neutral conductor). The device is mainly used by power utilities but also in other industrial and commercial sec-
tors.
In addition to the measuring function, SICAM Q100 features various recorders (for example, measured value
recorders) to record the measured quantities and the load profile in programmable time intervals. Long-term
data and events are analyzed and output as report according to power quality standards, for example EN
50160.
The input circuits for voltage measurement are galvanically isolated and can be used in IT, TT, and, TN
networks. To ensure galvanic separation for current measurements, the lines connected to the current
measuring inputs are galvanically separated from the current transformers.
The measurements are obtained from the alternating quantities of current and voltage supplied to the AC
inputs. When no external voltage and current transformers are used, the device can process rated input
alternating voltages of up to VP-N = 230 V (110 V for UL condition) and rated input alternating currents up to 5 A.
The integrated web server can be used to set the parameters and display the measured values on HTML pages
from the connected computer. With the internal graphic display, a limited parameterization via softkeys can be
carried out on the front panel and measured values can be output via the display.
To communicate with the systems control and other process automation equipment and to transmit operational
measured values, metered values, indications, load profiles, etc., the device features an Ethernet interface and
an RS485 interface.
Measured quantities:
• Alternating voltage and alternating current
• Unbalanced of alternating voltage and alternating current
• Active, reactive, and apparent power
• Active, reactive, and apparent energy
• Power frequency
• Phase angle
• Power factor and active power factor
• THDS (Subgroup Total Harmonic Distortion) of alternating voltage and alternating current
• Harmonics and interharmonics of alternating voltage and alternating current
• Flicker acc. to IEC 61000-4-15
• Transients
• Mains signaling voltage (MSV)
The uncertainty of operational measurements of the measured quantities is defined as per IEC 62586-1 product
standard, class A (leading standard), the IEC 61000-4-30 power quality standard, and the IEC 62586-1, Ed. 1
standard.
For detailed information on measured quantities and measured values, see the chapter 4.2 and the technical
data in the chapter 14.1.

Functionality of the Recorders
The recorders can record measured quantities, events, and load profiles in parameterizable time intervals. The
following recorder types are used:
• Measurement recorder: recording of PQ measured quantities acc. to IEC 61000-4-30 (for example,
frequency, voltage magnitude) and non-PQ measured quantities (for example, currents, power) over
parameterized periods, for example, 10-second frequency, aggregation of voltage, current, power.
• Trend recorder: long-term recording and monitoring of the voltage change history over a parameterized
period of time in programmable tolerance ranges; 1/2 cycle RMS values
• Fault recorder: Recording of sampled values of voltage and current using programmable triggers,
maximum 256 samples per cycle
• Event recorder: recording of maximum 256 frequency events and voltage-unbalance events each, as well
as voltage events of which the maximum counter depends on the memory configuration
• Mains signaling voltage recorder: recording of mains signaling voltage on the supply voltage.
The device features a 2-GB memory for storing the recorder data.
Energy Management
As part of the energy management, SICAM Q100 records load profiles according to the Fixed Block and Rolling
Block method for all power quantities. Additionally, it is possible to calculate up to 8 tariffs (TOU = Time of Use).
The synchronization is made with external or internal triggers.
Communication
SICAM Q100 has an Ethernet interface and an electric RS485 interface.
Ethernet supports the device parameterization, transmission of measured data, metered values, load profiles,
and indications/events and the time synchronization with NTP. The communication protocols used are HTTPS,
Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850 server.
The RS485 interface supports the transmission of measured data, metered values, load profiles, and indica-
tions and the time synchronization. The communication protocol is Modbus RTU.
The integrated Ethernet switch in the device allows cascading further network components (SICAM
subdevices) via a Y cable and integrating them in an existing network with IEC 61850 or another Ethernet pro-
tocol.
Time Synchronization
During operation SICAM Q100 needs the date and time for all time-relevant processes. This ensures that a
common time basis exists when communicating with peripheral devices and enables time stamping of the
process data. The following types of time synchronization can be executed:
• External time synchronization via Ethernet NTP (preferred)
• External time synchronization via fieldbus using the Modbus RTU communication protocol
• Internal time synchronization via RTC (if external time synchronization is not available)
Parameterization
Parameters are set using an internal Web browser with HTML pages from the connected computer. Internet
Explorer 6 (or higher) is required for this purpose. Devices featuring a display offer a limited parameterization
function using the front softkeys.
