Communication

The IED supports two different communication protocols: IEC 61850 and
®
Modbus . Operational information and controls are available through these
protocols. IEC 61850 communication can be used parallel with Modbus
®
Modbus protocol uses either Ethernet or the RS-485 bus.
The IEC 61850 communication implementation supports all monitoring and control
functions. Additionally, parameter setting and disturbance file records can be
accessed using the IEC 61850-8-1 protocol. Further, the IED can send and receive
binary signals from other IEDs (so called horizontal communication) using the IEC
61850-8-1 GOOSE profile, where the highest performance class with a total
transmission time of 3 ms is supported. The IED can simultaneously report to five
different IEC 61850-8-1 clients.
The IED can support five simultaneous clients. If PCM600 reserves one client
connection, only four client connections are left, for example, for IEC 61850 and
Modbus.
All communication connectors, except for the front port connector, are placed on
integrated optional communication modules. The IED can be connected to Ethernet-
based communication systems via the RJ-45 connector (100BASE-TX). If connection
to a RS-485 network is required, the 9-pin screw-terminal connector can be used. An
ST-type connector for serial communication over fibre optics is available as well. A
direct, dedicated fibre-optic connection is used between the IEDs as a protection
communication link. 1300 nm multi-mode or single-mode fibres with LC connectors
are used for line differential communication. The LC port in the IED is always the
topmost.

PCM600 configuration tool

Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600 offers all the necessary functionality
to work throughout all stages of the IED life cycle:
• Planning
• Engineering
• Commissioning
• Operation and disturbance handling
• Functional analysis
With the individual tool components, you can perform different tasks and functions
and control the whole substation. PCM600 can operate with many different topologies
depending on customer needs.
