To connect PCM600 to the IED, two basic variants must be considered.
• Direct point-to-point link between PCM600 and the IED front port. The front
port can be seen as a service port.
• A link via a station LAN or from remote via a network.
The physical connection and the IP address must be configured in both cases to
enable communication.
The communication procedures are the same in both cases.
1. If needed, set the IP address for the IEDs.
2. Set up the PC or workstation for a direct link (point-to-point), or
3. Connect the PC or workstation to the LAN/WAN network.
4. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED to match
the IP addresses of the physical IEDs.
Setting up IP addresses
Communication between the IED and PCM600 is enabled from the LHMI. The IP
address and the corresponding communication subnetwork mask must be set via
the Ethernet configuration tool (ECT) for each available Ethernet interface in the
IED. Each Ethernet interface has a default factory IP address when the IED is
delivered. The IP adress and the subnetwork mask might have to be reset when an
additional Ethernet interface is installed or an interface is replaced.
• DHCP is available for the front port, and a device connected to it can thereby
obtain an automatically assigned IP address via the local HMI path Main
menu/Configuration/Communication/Ethernet configuration/Front port/
DHCP or,
• Alternatively the default IP address for the IED front port is 10.1.150.3 and the
corresponding subnetwork mask is 255.255.255.0, which can be set via the
local HMI path Main menu/Configuration/Communication/Ethernet
configuration/AP_FRONT.
Setting up the PC or workstation for point-to-point access to IEDs
front port
An ethernet cable (max 2 m length) with RJ-45 connectors is needed to connect
two physical Ethernet interfaces together without a hub, router, bridge or switch in
between.
