This document is valid for Station Gateway based on CN 4100 only. The Station Gateway based on CN 4100 connects IEC 61850 devices from different vendors to the PCS 7 system. The gateway uses two Ethernet RJ45 interfaces: The IEC 61850 interface is connected to the Ethernet network with the protection relays using the protocol IEC 61850 MMS (Manufacturing Messaging Specification).
Spare part compatibility The Station Gateway based on CN 4100 can be used as a spare part of Station Gateway based in IPC227E. A mixture of a Station Gateway based on CN 4100 and a IPC227E device inside one redundant Station Gateway isn’t possible. Each Station Gateway device of a redundant Station Gateway pair should contain the same firmware version.

Gateway. This applies in the same way for spare part orders, except the upgrade license, which will be installed via the web interface. It is not possible to convert a CN 4100 CPU (6DL41780BH010XX0) to a StationGateway based on CN 4100 CPU (9LA1110- 6CN10-0AA0). Due to the different operating system configurations, parallel operation of IEC 61850 and other protocols (such as Modbus or OPC) on one CN 4100 CPU is not possible The Station Gateway requires a license for the number of IEDs which will be interfaced.
Personal Data Disclaimer Siemens observes the principles of data protection, in particular the principle of data minimization (privacy by design). For this reason, the product only processes / stores technical functional data (e.g. time stamps) and no personal data. If the user links this data with other data (e.g.
Security Issues 2.10. Cybersecurity information Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks. In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain –...
Hardware Hardware The SIMATIC CN 4100 communication system is a coherent I/O system consisting of the rack, at least one controller and optional communications modules. The basic components of the communication system are shown in the following exemplary installation. The numbering shows the assembly sequence.
Hardware 3.1. Rack Definition The core component of the SIMATIC CN 4100 communication system is the rack. The four-slot rack provides the following: • Two slots for CPU modules. Redundant operation: Two CPUs. Simple operation: A CPU in the first slot.
Rack from below Figure 3-7: Underside view of the rack 3.4. Connections When using the SIMATIC CN 4100 communication system, the following interfaces are available: Figure 3-8: Available ports on the rack Plant Network for CPU 1 (left) ① X1.1 IEC 61850 Network (Port 1) ②...
3.6. General technical data The general technical data and security notes of the base hardware CN 4100 is also valid for the Station Gateway based on CN 4100. The Station Gateway based on CN 4100 is limited to operate only in horizontal mounting position.
After the system restart, all functionalities will be available again. 3.9. LED Assignment The Station Gateway based on CN 4100 has eight LEDs on the front side. Continuous light Power supply Power supply OK...
Support Agreement Support Agreement A 5-year support agreement is mandatory for Station Gateway based on CN 4100. This support agreement covers questions about general topics, system handling and troubleshooting via phone or Email. Because of included hardware spare parts and free of charge patches/updates, this support agreement is needed for every single device.
Auto-Negotiation. NOTE The network interfaces of CN 4100 do not support MRP or any other redundancy protocol. If a redundancy protocol is used in IEC network or plant network, the data must be converted (e.g. by a switch) to ‘normal’...

In redundant mode, two gateways are working as two IEC 61850 clients with individual connections. To setup a redundant Station Gateway, two single Station Gateway based on CN 4100 CPUs mounted on one rack can be paired to one redundant Station Gateway based on CN 4100.
This chapter describes the best practice for upgrading a redundant pair of Station Gateways based on S7mEC / IPC227E to a redundant pair of Station Gateways based on CN 4100 in running operation. In case of upgrading a single Station Gateway to CN 4100 without PLC STOP the communication between PLC and the IEDs will be interrupted for several minutes.

• Which firmware is being used on the S7mEC Station Gateway? To reduce the risk of incompatibility with latest versions of CN 4100 Station Gateway, the S7mEC Station Gateway should be running V1.61. • Which firmware is being used on the IPC227E Station Gateway? To reduce the risk of incompatibility with latest versions of CN 4100 Station Gateway, the IPC227E Station Gateway should be running V3.06.
8.12. Firmware update A firmware update of the Station Gateway based on CN 4100 can be done via the Update Tool. For information about the update procedure please see chapter 8.14.1.
8.13. Reset the Station Gateway There are three different ways to reset the Station Gateway based on CN 4100. Depending on which reset is carried out, different settings are reset or deleted. NOTE With performing a reset all settings will be reset, including IP address and passwords.
8.14. Station Gateway based on CN 4100 Update Tool The Station Gateway based on CN 4100 update tool must be used to perform the update of the Station Gateway based on CN 4100. Furthermore, it is possible to perform a reset of the Station Gateway.
To enable redundancy for the Station Gateway, it is essential that both Station Gateway CN 4100 CPUs are housed within the same rack. The operational mode (Local as CPU1 or Local as CPU2) for each CN 4100 CPU can be selected via the Web Interface (see Figure 9-4).
