Areas of application for infobox Signaling messages on site The electronic signaling and indicator systems are primarily used in plants for power transmission and distribution. However, they can be used in a wide range of applications. Signals need to be monitored in many industry- specific applications. In the chemical and petrochemical industry, messages are monitored as part of tank farm management. This includes, for example, level information, leakage monitoring, etc. For an optimum overview of the plant, the information is displayed close to the process. The infobox processes plant signals and visualizes the messages locally. The signals are acquired via the device inputs on the back. When a predefined state is detected, this prompts an input on the infobox. The electronic signaling and indicator system conditions the incoming signal by converting it into a predefined message. The message is then visualized on the front of the device using LEDs. Smooth and cost-optimized plant operation is possible due to increased plant transparency at a local level. This optimizes storage, for example, and reduces the servicing time when carrying out maintenance and fault clearance on site. Audible support is also available as an option for status signals (malfunctions, warnings, states) in the form of internal and external sirens or horns.

Signaling messages locally and forwarding them to higher-level control engineering transparency and faster response times. For example, this enables demand-based planning for servicing measures and reduces the servicing time when carrying out maintenance and fault clearance on site. Monitoring individual applications in the energy industry often requires not only local signaling, but also communication to higher-level control engineering. The different device sizes enable the signaling of up to 40 messages on site using a single device. The infobox processes plant signals and visualizes the messages locally. The signals are acquired via the device inputs on the back. When a predefined state is detected, this prompts an input on the infobox. The electronic signaling and indicator system conditions the incoming signal by converting it into a predefined message. The message is then visualized on the front of the device using LEDs. This provides a quick overview of the local plant states, such as the position of the engineering room door or specific states such as transformer switch positions. Audible support is also available as an option for status signals (malfunctions, warnings, states) in the form of internal and external sirens or horns. When using the infobox COM version, it is possible to forward messages and states to a higher-level control room using appropriate communication protocols.

in one or more devices. This enables the interconnection of more than 16 feeders and one control center within a network. Networking results in high plant transparency, which makes it easier for service technicians to clear faults in the plant and reduces the servicing time. Monitoring complex plants with networked devices Complex plants, such as substations, also require local signaling and a connection to the higher-level control engineering. The high volume of messages compared to smaller plants presents additional challenges for the plant operator. The focus is therefore on bundling information so that the current plant status can be clearly visualized in the control engineering. The infobox processes plant signals and visualizes the messages locally. The signals are acquired via the device inputs on the back. When a predefined state is detected, this prompts an input on the infobox. The electronic signaling and indicator system conditions the incoming signal by converting it into a predefined message. The message is then visualized on the front of the device using LEDs. This provides a quick overview of the local plant states, e.g., a message from the transformer monitoring or a switch operation message. Audible support is also available for the messages (malfunctions, warnings, states) in the form of internal and/or optional external sirens or horns. When using the infobox COM version, it is possible to forward messages and states to a higher-level control room using appropriate communication protocols. In large plants, it is often necessary to network multiple distributed signaling and indicator systems. This is done in order to gain a better overview of the plant and to optimize control (e.g., central acknowledgment of messages). When devices are networked, information from feeders is sent to higher-level signaling and indicator systems (control centers). It is transmitted as single- and double-point information using IEC 60870-5-104. A maximum of 16 feeders can be connected to one control center. The subsequently prepared group messages are indicated on the front of the central unit and are communicated to a higher-level network as an option. Communication between multiple hybrid devices is ensured by combining the central and feeder function Central level Devices with central function Substation automation technology Devices with central function and, where applicable, feeder function Field level Devices with feeder function Monitoring of an entire substation with many signals PHOENIX CONTACT 7

All information directly at a glance The messages visualized on the front of the device provide service technicians with a quick overview of the plant status. It is possible to quickly acknowledge or delete messages on the front of the device, for example. Technicians on site can thus respond quickly to the current conditions and reduce servicing times.

Clear message display on the front of the device The infobox in detail The signaling behavior of the infobox BASIC is defined via the integrated DIP switches on the back. The infobox COM is set up using the infobox ENGINEER parameterization software that is supplied. The signaling behavior is quickly defined by selecting the provided signaling sequences (ISA protocols). This enables a wide scope of use for different applications. The integrated storage options allow message and system status information to be archived. All data is allocated a time stamp and can be viewed for 72 h even without a power supply. As individual as your plant The comprehensive versions available enable the visualization of 8, 16, 24 or 40 messages. Thanks to the standardized hardware design (DIN 43718), the compact devices can be easily integrated into control cabinet structures. Multiple electronic signaling and indicator systems can be networked as an option. This enables an Your advantages at a glance: • Fast device setup • Comprehensive visualization of messages based on ISA protocols • Information available even in the event of a voltage failure Quick and reliable signal conditioning for conversion into messages optimum overview when monitoring larger plants.

Modular design of the back of the device Comprehensive configuration options for many applications The modular configuration enables a tailor- made solution for signaling and indicating operating states on site. In addition to choosing the number of messages, it is also possible to select other configuration options such as the communication interfaces. The infobox offers various communication options. Group messages are simply forwarded via electrical signals using a message forwarding relay. With the infobox COM, a wider range of information can be transmitted via standardized protocols such as IEC 61850. infobox without communication interfaces (infobox BASIC) DIP switches for device parameterization (for further information on device parameterization, see p. 19) 10 PHOENIX CONTACT Power supply Message forwarding relay Emergency power supply and inputs of external buttons Message inputs Output of group messages

Comparison of the different versions Parameterization locally on site or from a remote location The different versions in the infobox device family primarily differ with respect to their parameterization and the available communication interfaces. Advantages of the infobox COM: • Parameterization from any location by means of IP communication • Individual adaptation to different project requirements • Use of different ISA protocols • Intuitive user guidance in the software The version without communication interfaces (infobox BASIC) is parameterized locally via the DIP switches on the back. Advantages of the infobox BASIC: • Easy configuration of the signaling functionality without software • Quick parameterization, thanks to predefined DIP switch functions In contrast, the version with communication interfaces (infobox COM) is parameterized via the infobox ENGINEER software. The settings can be made even without a direct device connection. Once complete, the data is uploaded via an IP connection from any location. System without communication interfaces Front of the device Back Local parameterization via DIP switches on the back System with communication interfaces Front of the device Back On-site or remote parameterization via infobox ENGINEER software Optional connection to the control room The infobox device family offers various communication options. The infobox BASIC does not feature communication interfaces, but allows messages to be forwarded via simple electrical signals using a message forwarding relay. For example, this enables external horns to be activated or information to be forwarded to connected remote control technology. In addition to this, the infobox COM also includes several interfaces for bidirectional communication in the send and receive direction (connection of control rooms and remote control nodes). The standardized protocols enable the visualization of incoming information. Another advantage of this protocol-based connection is the reduced wiring effort. infobox BASIC infobox COM Signals from the field Signal processing and visualization Signaling and control level 12 PHOENIX CONTACT

Main functions of the parameterization software For further information, see p. 18. Project setup and device definition For further information, see p. 18 f. Define message markings and functions Device-specific settings A project needs to be created first so that the device can then be set up. Depending on the application, the appropriate electronic signaling and indicator systems are added to the project. In addition to the basic framework, such as setting the time zone, initial settings such as signaling sequences, etc. are also already defined here. Message-specific settings The available message markings are then defined based on the device-specific settings. The Editor offers various design options. Markings can also be copied from other documents via the clipboard or imported from existing projects. The message markings can then be printed with crop marks via the software. The printed marking strips are simply inserted in the slots behind the removable frame on the front of the device. The next step is to make further message- specific settings so that the appropriate signaling behavior is used based on the input signal. Secure communication Finally, the communication options are defined via the software. First, the communication of messages via standardized protocols, e.g., IEC 61850 or Modbus, is defined. In larger projects involving multiple electronic signaling and indicator systems, networking is also performed here. It is therefore possible to group messages and forward them in a clear manner. This ensures an optimum plant overview, even in the case of complex plants. IT security is of course based on the BDEW white paper. For further information, see p. 20.

Easy startup of the infobox COM Device-specific setting of the infobox COM The device- and message-specific settings for the infobox COM are made via the infobox ENGINEER parameterization software. IP-based communication between the device and the software enables parameterization on site or from a remote location. The projects can also be edited offline on a PC and then uploaded via a device connection. The focus of device-specific parameterization is the selection of the device type and the specification of project properties and general settings, such as the selection of signal sequences and time sources. Easy project creation Convenient creation of message markings Once the initial project settings have been made in the software, the message markings for the front of the device are defined. The first step is to specify the actual markings. Depending on the selected version, 8, 16, 24 or 40 message markings can be specified. The software offers various functions for customized marking. Furthermore, data can be imported from existing projects. For quick marking, text information can be transferred from other files via the clipboard. The specified message markings are finally printed and inserted in the slots behind the removable device front. Create and print message markings in just a few steps 18 PHOENIX CONTACT

Message-specific settings of the infobox COM The message-specific settings for the infobox COM are made via software. A matrix within the software provides an overview of all messages and subsequently stored message functions. The predefined messages are listed with functions in the matrix. These are attributes such as alarm or status messages, message- specific time response, and audible and/or visual support of signaling. Furthermore, this area includes the optional assignment of group messages. As an option, group messages can be communicated as an electrical signal via a contact or virtually via a communication protocol. Message-specific settings via matrix in the software Device- and message-specific settings of the infobox BASIC In contrast to the software-based parameterization of the infobox COM, the infobox BASIC is set via the DIP switches on the back. Parameterization with preselected device- and message-specific settings simplifies startup and use, since no additional software is required. 5 - 8: Switch signaling inputs between closed-circuit current and operating current starting 4: Switch horn off automatically after 4 s or manually via horn acknowledgment on the front of the device 3: Switch between alarm and status message on the front of the device (green or red LEDs) 2: Switch signaling sequences from single flashing light to double flashing light (the LED continues flashing at a slow flashing frequency following message acknowledgment) 1: Switch between first-up value and new value display (first or latest message is signaled) Settings via DIP switches on the back PHOENIX CONTACT 19

Secure communication Setting up communication Networking multiple signaling devices Having defined the device- and message-specific parameters, it is now time to set the communication interfaces according to your specific requirements. In large plants, it is often necessary to network multiple distributed signaling and indicator systems. This is done in order to gain a better overview and to optimize control (e.g., central acknowledgment of messages). The software contains various standard protocols, such as IEC 61850, IEC 608070-5-104, Modbus, etc. After selecting the interfaces and protocols, further specific settings are finally made, such as the IP address of the control room, the address structure, etc. Message feeders forward the prepared messages within the network. Networked devices with the central function receive the forwarded information and prepare the messages, if necessary. The group messages are then indicated on the central unit and are communicated to a higher-level network as an option. Control room IT security in accordance with BDEW white paper The infobox COM provides the option of encrypted communication through HTTPS or the TLS 1.2 encryption mechanism. There is also the option to protect the connection between individual communication partners via IPsec (IKEv 1 and 2). Version 2 reflects the latest and most secure standard. With the backwards compatibility of IKEv1, the device is also suitable for existing plants (retrofit). Another way to increase IT security is to parameterize the internal firewall. This enables regimented and protected port release. Parameterization via web interface IPsec 20 PHOENIX CONTACT Secure communication based on the BDEW white paper
