PCM600 recognizes the installed Connectivity package(s) during startup and the
corresponding IED types are available in PCM600 when starting a new project.
Setting up communication between PCM600 and the
IED
The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the used
communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC.
The communication media is always Ethernet and the used protocol is TCP/IP.
Each IED has an Ethernet interface connector on the front and on the rear side. Both
Ethernet connectors can 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.
For the connection of PCM600 to the IED, two basic variants have to be considered.
• Direct point-to-point link between PCM600 and the IED front 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.
