Note! All devices that shall communicate

with each other must belong to the same
sub network
Section 3
Ethernet port settings at PC side
No settings in PCM600 for Ethernet port of PC, use WINDOWS control panel
Set TCP/IP properties on the connection to be used for the PCM600/IED communication

The IP address of the IED

object in PCM600 can be set in
two ways;
When creating the IED object in

PCM600, the IP address can be
set in the Configuration
Wizard
Opening Properties at IED

level object and changing the
IP Address property

All data within the PCM600

project is exported to a file with
extension .pcmp.
Used for back-up purposes.
Use earlier exported .pcmp file
Rename projects
Section 3
Create the Plant Structure
Two ways to create objects;
Drag and drop from object types
Right click on object, select New
When creating IED objects, the

configuration wizard is
automatically started
Note:
Only one substation level is allowed

for the PCM600/IED
communication
Note: Not possible to
communicate between
PCM600 and IED via SPA
and LON for the 650 series
Create the IED objects, Online configuration
Set IP address to use
Different default values

for Front and Rear
port, otherwise no
meaning with the Port
selection
Section 3
IED type, version, display type (Local HMI) and

housing (size of the IED) is automatically
detected in online mode (Use the Scan button)
SA-T Training
1MRG003731
Create the IED objects, Offline configuration
IED version must be selected

manually
Order option file available
Enables only ordered SW and HW

in PCM600
No need to synchronize PCM600

and physical IED
No order option file available
SA-T Training
1MRG003731
Section 3
Enables all functionality in PCM600
Need to synchronize PCM600 and

physical IED, use the License
Update Tool
Possible to configure functionality in

PCM600 that later will not be
accepted by the IED
Section 3
Plant Structure, basics
Two main sections
IED configuration structure
Contains basic functionality such as for

example communication addresses and
HW
Application configuration structure
Contains the configuration data

configured with ACT.
Synchronized with the Main Application

structure configured with ACT.

Section 3
License update Tool
SA-T Training
1MRG003731
Synchronizes PCM600 IED object with

physical IED capabilities when it comes
to;
Function options
Hardware options
Section 3
Technical Key
(not applicable for 670 series)
Is used for security reasons, more

difficult to communicate with the wrong
IED since the technical key at IED
object in PCM600 and in physical IED
must match.
Unique identifier for each object in the

Plant Structure
Is set automatically by PCM600
Can be modified by the user
To synchronize PCM600 and IED

technical key, use the Set Technical
Key Tool
To change the technical key in

PCM600 only, go to object properties
for the IED object
SA-T Training

Note that changing the Technical key

might have an impact on the IEC61850
configuration in your system

Import of pcmi files can be made at the

Bay level object in PCM600
Section 3
Create Template
Purpose: To reuse a configured IED
In a pre-defined place
For quick access

Section 3
Hardware Configuration
Possible to manually configure HW/slot positions
This information is already available if you have

created the IED object in online mode
Select correct card type in correct slot position
SA-T Training
1MRG003731
Section 3
Hardware Configuration
SA-T Training
1MRG003731
Compare configuration
Reads hardware configuration from the

IED and compares with the HW
configuration made in PCM600
Make sure that the HW configuration

matches with your physical IED before
you do any other configuration e.g. with
ACT or SMT otherwise you might need to
spend time on reconfiguration.
Hardware Configuration, parameterization
Section 3
Parameter Setting
Short-cut to parameters/settings for

the HW when HW tool is open
Select HW module from hardware

configuration list
Press Parameter Setting button in

toolbar menu that will issue the PST
Only change of parameters possible

when opening PST from the HW
tool.
Read/Write with the IED done from
ordinary PST, e.g. open PST from
the Plant Structure.
