SICAM S8000 represents high performance with state-ofthe-art technology, modularized architecture and is a part of the universal power automation platform SICAM 8.
As a pioneer in all areas of power automation, with SICAM 8, we support our customers in terms of
- Efficiency
fast and consistent engineering - Sustainability
technology to achieve climate goals and create a sustainable world
SICAM S8000 is a seamless, hardware independent software
product for low-, medium- and high-voltage power automation and control applications in various industries and can be fully virtualized. The engineering is done with SICAM Device Manager, like the entire portfolio of the SICAM 8 Platform.
All SICAM 8 cybersecurity standards are maintained in SICAM S8000. Compliance with the following standards can be achieved:
- IEC 62443
- IEC 62351
Your benefit with SICAM S8000
- Select prequalified IPCs or install the substation controller fully virtualized to gain complete hardware independence
- Choose between multiple Linux Operating Systems
- Create virtual testing setups of your IPC based substation controller by deploying the same configuration fully virtualized
- Reduce hardware thanks to the consolidation of multiple functions
- Scale your system in terms of connections, functions, performance and applications
- Continuously adapt to the changing energy landscape thanks to the endless flexibility
- Integrate state of the art cybersecurity features
- Improve resilience thanks to the decoupling of hardware and software
- Built future ready IT/OT convergent systems
Engineering with SICAM Device Manager
One engineering tool for all runtimes and applications within the SICAM 8 family minimizes maintenance effort and costs as well as optimizes the efficiency and training needs for operating personnel.
Runtime Selection
SICAM S8000 can be installed on prequalified IPCs or can be deployed fully virtualized. The chosen IPC or the assigned hardware resources define the performance limits. Selected prequalified IPCs:
- SIMATIC IPC 227G & 277G with on-board display
- RUGGEDCOM APE1808LNX
- WELOTEC RSAEC & RSAPC (incl. PRP/HSR)
Supported hypervisors for virtualization:
- VMware
- Hyper-V
Choose between multiple Linux operating systems:
- Debian
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- SIMATIC Industrial OS
For further information on tested hardware types, hypervisors, operating systems as well as minimum requirements for virtual machines contact your Siemens sales representative.
