615 series ANSI
Engineering Manual
61850 version of PCM600 is Edition 1. The protection relay's IEC 61850 version is by
default Edition 2.
With PCM600, it is possible to do various tasks.
• Open existing projects
• Import projects
• Create new projects
• Export projects
• Delete projects
• Rename projects
• Copy and paste projects
The extension of the exported project file is .pcmp. The files are only used for exporting
and importing projects between PCM600s.

Technical key

Both a physical IED and an IED object in PCM600 have a technical key. The technical key
in the protection relay and PCM600 must be the same, otherwise it is not possible to
download a configuration.
Each IED in a PCM600 project must have a unique technical key. Therefore, it is not
possible to set the same technical key for several IEDs in the same PCM600 project.
The protection relay is delivered with a factory default technical key. The
validation of the technical keys between PCM600 and the protection relay
does not occur if the protection relay contains the factory default technical
key.
The technical key property in PCM600 corresponds to the IED name
attribute in SCL files. Avoid changing the IED name attribute outside
PCM600, because data in PCM600 may get lost when importing the SCL
files.
The technical key must be the same for the communication between the protection relay
and PCM600. The technical key can be read from the protection relay and updated to
PCM600, or the PCM600 technical key can be written to the protection relay.
Alternatively, a user-defined technical key can be defined.
