Remote Control SIPROTEC 4 via Ethernet-Modems 7XV585x and 7XV5655
General
In principle the scope of functions of Ethernet-Modems correspond to the already known analog or
digital telephone modems. Instead of the analog or digital telephone network, the transmission
medium is the well-known Ethernet. For this purpose, the data received at the RS232-interface are
packed into a TCP/IP-protocol and unpacked again at the opposite end for output on the RS232-
interface .Instead of a telephone number, the connection is established from the calling Ethernet
modem (office modem) by selection of an IP address.
This method allows for the simple handling of Ethernet modems by the protection communication
program DIGSI 4 if the following application guidelines are strictly adhered to.
The example outlines a small private network with free IP addresses. The operating PC with
Windows XP and DIGSI 4.50 in this case has a fixed IP address 192.168.10.100. The office modem
has the IP address 192.168.10.161, the substation modems 192.168.10.153 and 192.168.10.154.
Note: This application guide only serves as a additional user information and assumes that the user
has knowledge of the general application guide for the product and its basic functions as described in
the manual.
Approach:
•• Installing modem driver in Windows
•• Configuring modems with the configuration tool
oSelecting basic data (IP-address and name) of the office modem
oSelecting basic data (IP-address and name) of the substation modem
oIntegration of-PC and Ethernet-Modems into the Ethernet
oSelecting the communication parameters (Baud rate, data format etc.) of the office modem
oSelecting the communication parameters (Baud rate, data format etc.) of the substation
modem
•Inserting telephone directory and modems in the substation manager of DIGSI 4
oInsert telephone directory with IP addresses
oInsert office and substation modem with settings
oInsert modem connection
•Establish the modem connection
oStart the connection
oCheck the “number” to be dialled (IP address), correct of necessary
oCheck the connection in the report window
oEstablishment of connection to the protection device

Installation of the modem driver
For the operation of an Ethernet modem in a Windows application, it is necessary to install a modem
driver in the Control panel of Windows.
The operating systems Windows NT 4 from SP6a, Windows 2000 or Windows XP (Professional) are
a pre-requisite for this.
The modem driver ipetherModem.inf for the Ethernet-modem may be found on the included CD
„Manuals 7XV5“ under „Accessories / 7XV585x / Driver“.
NOTE! Up-to-date information may be found in the Internet under
www.SIPROTEC.com under Accessories / 7XV585x or applications / remote-control
In the Control panel
Choose „Telephone- and Modem
options“
By double-clicking on the icon.
ADD installs a new modem driver in Windows.
If a modem driver has not yet been installed, Windows
automatically offers an installation window.

Setting Ethernet-modems with the configuration tool
All modems are factory pre-set on delivery; this setting must be adapted to the individual
applications. This may in principle be done with a terminal program via the RS232 interface,
the simplest method however being the use of the configuration tool on a PC which is
connected to an Ethernet modem with a crossed patch cable.
The installation of the configuration tools is described at length in the Ethernet modem
manual; the crossed path cable is included in the scope of delivery.
When the Ethernet modem is supplied with auxiliary voltage and connected to the operating
PC via the crossed patch cable, the configuration tool is started. The modem should be
found immediately after the start.
Note: In this example, the operating PC is allocated with fixed addresses.
IP-address: 192.168.10.100
Sub-net mask: 255.255.255.0

For modem
configuration
only
With this application, the “station PC” may be used to configure all Ethernet-modems applied in the
network; and operate all protection devices with DIGSI.
The configuration of the Ethernet-modems is done with the configuration tool on the “station PC” via
the Ethernet connection (patch cable) to the router or switch and via the network to the Ethernet-
modems.
To operate the protection devices, DIGSI 4 REMOTE is used on the “station PC” to establish a
modem connection via the RS232-interface to the office modem, via the Ethernet (router or switch) to
the substation modem and continuing to the protection devices.

Setting communication parameters of the office modem
The office modem is only assigned with its basic settings of the RS232 communication parameters.
When dial-up to a substation modem takes place with DIGSI 4, other settings (e.g. TC57) are re-set
to the factory settings. The settings of the RS232 interface and the password protection remain
unchanged.
Note: When the RS232-interface settings have been completed, the RS232 interface may from then
on only be accessed with these settings.
To access the further settings of the office modem, the option window of the desired modem is
opened with the right mouse button; then “Properties” is selected.
Alternatively the setting windows may be accessed by a double-click of the left mouse button on the
desired line.
TCP/IP - settings
In this window, under “Info” the MAC- and IP-
address as well as the “Name“ of the modem may
be checked.
The entry “Default Gateway“ is not altered
in this example i.e. it remains 0.0.0.0.
The “Sub-net Mask“ is used for the selected
IP-address 255.255.255.0.
The field “automatically Connect to…“
is only used for leased lines.

By double-clicking on the icon “Telephone directory “, “New” and “Number” in the project, the
“telephone number” of the office modem and all substation modems is saved under “Name” (see
pictures below) with a name. An un-used IP-address must centrally be saved in the “Telephone
directory” for each Ethernet modem. Instead of the fullstops, commas are used in the
IP-address.
The same country dialling codes and the city dialling codes (without 0) must be entered as a dummy
for all modems. During dial-up these codes are hidden.
If the windows were all closed with
“OK”, the settings may be checked
in the control window.
When this window is closed with

Creating an office modem in DIGSI 4
When the modem driver for the Ethernet modem together with its settings has been successfully
installed, and the telephone directory been filled, the office modem may be created in DIGSI 4.
By double-clicking on the icon
“Modems” in the project, the office
modem is created with “New” and a
name e.g. office modem is assigned
under “Name”.
In “Modem initialisation“ the command
AT S38=1 is entered.
Definition of commands:
•• AT always initiates the command string.
•• S38=1 TC57 switching on protocol detection (DIGSI / IEC60870).
The other TC57-settings S39 and S40 are basic settings.
Note: The office modem is re-initialised during each dial-up. Initially the commands of the Windows
driver are sent and thereafter the commands from “Modem initialisation”. Lastly the actual dial-up
string to the modem is transferred. For more clarity, spaces may be placed between the commands;
these are ignored by the modem.
Under “Modem driver“ the already installed modem driver is selected.
The ”Assigned address“ for the office modem is selected from the telephone directory
NOTE for DIGSI older V4.70 only !!!
The button “Properties…“ may not be used.
The settings of the office modem were fixed when the driver was installed. If the settings have to be
changed, the modem driver must again be installed

Creating a substation modem in DIGSI 4
To achieve a modem connection to a substation, a substation modem with modem driver and
“assigned address” must be created in DIGSI 4.
By double-clicking on the icon
“Modems” in the project, the
substation modem is created with
“New”, and a name is allocated by
entering a name under “Name”, e.g.

is entered, as the substation modem
was already initialised with the
configuration tool.
Under modem driver the already
installed modem driver is selected as
was the case with the office modem.
The button ”Properties …“ of the
modem driver must not be used, as
the dial-up procedure then no longer
functions securely.
NOTE !!! The button „Properties…“ must not be used.
The substation modem may only be initialised with the configuration tool.
Note: If the “Properties window” was accidentally opened, it must be closed with Cancel.
The “Assigned address:“ is selected from the telephone directory.
When the modems have all been
created, they are listed in the
overview window.

Setting a modem connection in DIGSI 4
A modem connection must be
established for the substation
e.g. distributor east. This defines
which modems with
corresponding settings and
assigned IP-addresses
(telephone numbers) will be
used for the connection
arrangement.
When the modem connection for this
substation has been created, the
modems may be selected under
“Properties modem connection”.
For this purpose, a “modem
connection” must be inserted in
the substation file with the right
mouse button.
All settings in DIGSI 4 are now complete and the office modem may be connected with the operating
PC via the included modem cable.
