If the upper row in the window indicates 'Fail' instead of 'Available' and the green LED flashes, an
internal failure in the IED has been detected. See

Setting up communication between PCM600 and the IED

The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the communication protocol
used within the substation or to the NCC.
The communication media is always Ethernet and the used protocol is TCP/IP.
Each IED has an RJ-45 Ethernet interface connector on the front. The front Ethernet connector
shall be used for communication with PCM600.
When an Ethernet-based station protocol is used, PCM600 communication can use the same
Ethernet port and IP address.
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.
• Indirect 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
The IP address and the corresponding communication subnetwork mask must be set via the LHMI
for each available Ethernet interface in the IED. Each Ethernet interface has a default factory IP
