PCM600 uses two kinds of IED files: .pcmt and .pcmi. Both files
include the complete IED configuration but their usage differs.
The .pcmt files are always accessed through the PCM600 template
manager while the .pcmi files are meant for sharing the IED instances
between different PCM600 users enabling quick import/export
directly from the plant structure context menu.
IEC 61850 Edition 1 and Edition 2 IEDs cannot be used
simultaneously in the same PCM600 project. The first inserted IED
determines the IEC 61850 version for the whole project.

Inserting an IED in online mode

To set up an IED online, the protection relay must be connected to PCM600.
When the protection relay is already connected to PCM600, PCM600 can read the
order number directly from the relay. It is possible to read the full configuration from
the relay by using the Read from IED function.
1. In the Plant Structure view, right-click the bay, point to New, point to the relay
application area such as Motor Protection IEDs and select the protection relay
type to be inserted.
Alternatively, drag an IED from the Object Types view to the
bay level.
