The Siemens SICAM Fault Collector Gateway (FCG) receives both the load current values and distribution line faults with the help SICAM Fault Sensor Indicator (FSI). The received information and events are then transmitted to the control centre which is based on the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol or is directly sent to the Siemens FLiC service using the XMPP protocol. 

The fault detected by SICAM FSI is later communicated to Siemens SICAM FCG Gateway with the help of SRR (short-range radio) communication within a distance of 100 meters. The device comes with 6 binary inputs and 3 binary outputs and can be configured and diagnosed locally with the help of Web GUI by connecting to both PC or laptop or remotely through GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). SICAM FCG Web GUI allows its user to easily configure the display error, parameters, event log, downloading configuration and firmware up-gradation.

Functions Of Siemens SICAM FCG Gateway

Binary interfaces

• On the terminal L, 3 binary inputs are independent and have a threshold of 8 V. 
• On the terminal P, 2 binary inputs with a common root (P8, P9, and P10) and 1 binary input (P11, P12) are independent.
• These binary inputs have selective thresholds (DC 19 V, DC 88 V, or DC 176 V)
• An optimal adjustment to the pickup voltage is provided in the case of increased interference levels.
• The binary outputs are built as relay contacts. 
• The terminal block P has 2 relays (NO) outputs Normally open and 1 relay (CO) output change over. 
• The relays can switch voltages up to 250 V both AC as well as DC and currents up to 5 A AC&DC.

Communication

• Siemens SICAM FCG is a telecommunication gateway device connecting two networks i.e. SICAM FSIs and the control centre.
• They provide user-friendly interfaces and support communication protocols to the SICAM FSIs with the help of SS (short-range radio) and to the control centre through mobile networks.
• Sicam FCG gateway is an interworking function for the communication between SICAM FSIs and the control centre.
• The various device communication interfaces and protocols are provided for better communication between the SICAM FCG and the control centre.
• Siemens SICAM FCG is integrated with the Ethernet interface and supportable with parameterization and monitoring.
• The communication interface supports the transmission of messages and measured values. 
• The information is then transmitted in telegrams safely and securely.

GSM module

• The GSM module comes with 4 frequency bands: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, & 1900 MHz.
• The control centre communication can be done based on the IEC 60870-5-104 through IPSec (internet protocol security)  tunnel and GSM.
• configuration and local diagnostic remotely through GSM. 
• The communication to Siemens FLiC service (XMPP and GSM).

Short-range radio module

The (short-range radio) SRR module communicates with SICAM FSI directly through a radio link in the license-free 2400-MHz band within a range of 100 meters. Any status change or overhead distribution line fault detected by SICAM FSI is transmitted to the SICAM FCG via SRR module (Short-range radio)

Time synchronization

• External time synchronization is done through Network Time Protocol (NTP)
• Internal time synchronization is done through Real-Time Clock (RTC) Siemens SICAM FCG Gateway Applications

Applications for the Siemens SICAM FCG Gateway

Unplanned outages

Keeping your grids up and running 

Utilizing cutting-edge equipment and techniques to restore the grid quickly

Unexpected outages can’t always be prevented. The quick and effective repair of cable grids and overhead wires is made possible by flexible solutions for local and remote monitoring.

Operational savings

Optimizing business operations 

Comprehensive and effective strategies for municipalities and DSOs to maximize their efforts.

It is simple to meet the rising demand for electricity from businesses and consumers. through the use of cutting-edge tools and creative solutions, including self-healing grids, optimal voltage and capacity management, and a complete lack of losses.

Fault localization

Fault reporting – fast, flexible, and direct 

Siemens’ cloud-based solution for defect detection, problem localisation in the cloud

Prior to this, the control room was the only place to start for quick and effective defect management. It is now feasible to deliver fault information, including the location of the fault, straight to the maintenance teams via a new cloud-based service called “fault localization in the cloud,” which eliminates the need for a grid control centre.
