Commissioning Manual
Also the Signal Monitoring tool in PCM600 can be used to read the measured
values. In many cases it is more convenient to use PCM600 since, among many
things, reports on measured values can be exported from the Signal Monitoring
tool to other tools (for example, MS Excel) for further analysis.

Testing protection functionality

Each protection function must be tested individually by secondary injection.
• Verify operating levels (trip) and timers.
• Verify alarm and blocking signals.
• Use the disturbance handling tool in PCM600 to evaluate that the protection
function has received the correct data and responded correctly (signaling and
timing).
• Use the event viewer tool in PCM600 to check that only expected events have
occurred.
