Offline
If there is no communication connection between a PC program (for example, configuration program) and a
runtime application (for example, a PC application), the PC program is offline. The PC program executes in
Offline mode.
Online
If there is a communication connection between a PC program (for example, configuration program) and a
runtime application (for example, a PC application), the PC program is online. The PC program executes in
Online mode.
Optical Switch Module
An Optical Switch Module (OSM) is a process for switching over switches in Ethernet networks that are ring-
shaped in structure. OSM is a proprietary process from Siemens, which later became standard under the term
MRP. OSM is integrated in the optical Ethernet module EN100-O. OSM is hardly used in IEC 61850 networks.
RSTP is used there, this having become established as an international standard.

Output data/Output direction
Data is sent from the protocol master to the protocol slave.
Output indication
Indications can be information provided by the device on events and states. The events and states are
provided via binary outputs, for example, startup of the processor system (event) or fault in a device function
(state). These are designated as output indications.
Parallel Redundancy Protocol
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet networks that is specified in IEC
62439-3. Unlike conventional redundancy procedures, such as RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, IEEE
802.1D-2004) PRP offers uninterruptible switching, which avoids any down time in the event of a fault, and
thus the highest availability.
PRP is based on the following approach: The redundancy procedure is generated in the end device itself. The
principle is simple: The redundant end device has 2 Ethernet interfaces with the same address (DAN, Double
Attached Node). Now, the same message is sent twice, in the case of PRP ("parallel") via 2 separated networks,
and uniquely marks both with a sequence number. The recipient takes the information that it receives first,
stores its ID based on the source address and the sequence number in a duplicate filter and thus recognizes
the 2nd, redundant information. This redundant information is then discarded. If the 1st message is missing,
the 2nd message with the same content comes via the other network. This redundancy avoids a switching
procedure in the network and is thus interruption-free. The end device relays no messages to the other
network. Since the process is realized in the Ethernet layer (same MAC address), it is transparent and usable
for all Ethernet payload protocols (IEC 61850, DNP, other TCP/IP based protocols). In addition, it is possible to
use one of the 2 networks for the transmission of non-redundant messages.
There are 2 versions of PRP: PRP-0 and its successor PRP-1. Siemens implements PRP-1.
Parameterization
Comprehensive term for all setting work on the device. You can parameterize the protection functions with
DIGSI 5 or sometimes also directly on the device.
Parameter set
The parameter set is the entirety of all parameters that can be set for a SIPROTEC device.
