A common writing from PCM600 to the protection relay, where
parameters are changed in the Parameter Setting tool, overwrites any
parameter changes made locally with LHMI.
All parameters listed and displayed in the parameter list can be sorted into two groups.
• Configuration parameters
• Setting parameters

Configuration parameter

Configuration parameter specifies the operation mode of an application function or of the
protection relay. These are basic configurations that are normally configured only once
and then not modified again. The protection relay configures itself during start-up
according to the given configuration parameter values.

Setting parameter

Setting parameter (short form: "setting") is a parameter that can be changed in the
protection relay at runtime.

Setting group

Nearly all settings used by the protection relay for protection application functions are
organized into a group of settings. Up to six setting groups can be configured with
different values.
The protection relay supports the selection of a setting group at runtime.

Parameter import and export

The parameter export and import function can be utilized, for example, when the
protection relay's parameters are set using the WHMI instead of PCM600. The relay
settings engineered with PCM600 can be exported to XRIO files and imported to the
WHMI. The WHMI can be used to write the settings to the protection relays. The WHMI
can also be used to read the relay setting parameters and to export those to files, which can
be used by PCM600.
The exporting and importing of settings is sensitive to the protection
relay's content. Settings are exported and imported for one protection
relay at a time. The export files of a specific protection relay can be
exchanged between PCM600, WHMI and the actual physical IED. To
avoid errors and to efficiently manage the exporting and importing of
