• Online mode: When the IED is already connected to PCM600 and the
communication is established, PCM600 can read the configuration directly
from the physical IED. This is useful when an order specific IED is used.
The order configuration is written to the IED at the factory and can be
accessed by PCM600. The housing type, the used overlay version for
LHMI and the IO boards included in the IED will be read from the IED
directly.
• Offline mode: When the physical IED is not available or not connected to
PCM600 the engineering steps are done without any synchronization with
the IED. The offline configuration in PCM600 can be synchronized with
the physical IED at a later state by connecting the IED to PCM600.
It is possible to see whether the inserted IED is in offline mode or
online mode from the plant structure. A red color cross before the
IED symbol indicates the offline mode as shown in
IEC09000361-1-en.vsd

• Import a template IED available in the template library as a *.pcmt file.
• Import a pre-configured IED available as a *.pcmi file.

Inserting IEDs in online mode

To set up an IED online, the IED must be connected to PCM600.
1. In the Plant Structure view, right-click the bay, point to New, point to the IED
category and select the IED type to be inserted.
The Configuration Mode Selection Page dialog box opens.
Alternatively, drag an IED from the Object Types view to the
bay level.
2. Select Online Configuration and click Next.
Communication protocol selection page is displayed.
