SICAM Station Control Center (SCC)
SICAM SCC is a central element of energy automation solutions that is independent of the substation technology installed. It is compatible with the SICAM Power Automation System (PAS) and products of SICAM RTUs line (e.g. SICAM A8000).
SICAM SCC, an overall HMI system, can communicate directly with bay units and protection devices that support IEC 61850 communication standard. It is scalable and offers efficient engineering for energy automation applications at utilities and industrial enterprises.
SICAM SCC is based on SIMATIC WinCC, a world-leading process visualization system, and integrates the functions required for high-voltage and medium-voltage substations of the electric process. The compatibility with SIMATIC WinCC allows SICAM SCC to be used as an add-on together with SIMATIC WinCC on one computer and enables an integrated system solution for visualizing and controlling the industrial manufacturing processes, using SIMATIC automation devices (e.g. S7 and PCS7) and the electric energy process (e.g. SICAM PAS).
SICAM SCC is tailored to be used in energy applications supporting operators with the task of optimizing system management. It provides a fast and clear overview of the system operating states.
