• Insert function blocks, make connections and create variables
• Include the hardware I/O channels directly to the application configuration
• Calculate the execution order automatically by clicking Calculate execution
order on the toolbar.
• Document the application configuration: for example, make printouts
• Save application configurations as templates in an application library to
reuse them in other IEDs
• Validate the application configuration during the configuration process on
demand and while writing the application configuration to the IED
For instructions on how to perform the different tasks in PCM600, see
PCM600 online help.

Function blocks

Function blocks are the main elements of an application configuration. They are
designed for a various number of functions and organized into type groups. The
different function block types are shown in the Object Types view. Function block
data can be modified with the Application Configuration tool.
• Set user-defined names for function blocks and signals marked with blue text.
Signals that have a user-defined name created with the Application
Configuration tool are only visible in the Parameter Setting tool if
the IED configuration is written to the IED and read back to
PCM600. Otherwise, the default signal name is shown in the
Parameter Setting tool.
If possible, set the user-defined name to a signal before connecting
the signal to other function blocks.
• Set IEC 61850, ANSI or IEC 60617 symbol standard.
• Set IEC or/and ANSI naming style.
• Lock function blocks.
• Set visibility for execution order, cycle time and instance number.
• Manage signals; for example, hide, show and rearrange.
• Invert Boolean inputs and outputs.
