PCM600 communicates with the bay IEDs via an Ethernet connection. The
connection allows to reading and writing all configuration data needed for proper
operation from or to the IED. The IEDs have communication interfaces for
protocols and media used for station communication. Bay IED IEC 61850 station
communication files can be exported from PCM600 to station engineering tools for
engineering of station communication between bay IEDs and station IEDs.
A PC with PCM600 can be connected to any 670 series IED within a station using
the Ethernet connection.
The Ethernet connection can then later also be used for service and maintenance
purposes. The connection is also used to handle disturbance records from
protection IEDs using the IEC 61850 file transfer.
The IEDs of today are designed on the concept of the IEC 61850 standard. This is
mainly given for the organization of functions represented by an equivalent logical
node in the IEC 61850 standard. The mapping between the logical node data model
in the IED, following the structure and rules in part 7 of the IEC 61850 standard,
and the function blocks in an IED configuration is given in the IEC 61850
communication protocol manual.
The concept is also used for DNP3 protocol. The signals used or delivered by a
function block are automatically generated and available for station
communication. This concept allows a very efficient cost saving signal engineering.
The engineering of the used communication protocols is a separate task and an
addition to the engineering of protection and control functions.
PCM600 can be used for different purposes throughout the IED life cycle. A set of
special tools is available for different applications.
The applications can be organized in:
• IED product engineering
• IED communication engineering per protocol
• IED system monitoring
• IED product diagnostic
This manual is valid for PCM600 supporting the 670 series product ver.1.2.
