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. The
Ethernet connector 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 in both cases the same.
1. If needed, set the IP address for the IEDs.
2. Set up the PC or workstation for a direct link (point to point), or
3. Connect the PC or workstation to the LAN/WAN network.
4. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED to match
the IP addresses of the physical IEDs.
Setting up IP addresses
The IP address and the corresponding mask can be set via the LHMI for each
available Ethernet interface in the IED. Each Ethernet interface has a default
factory IP address when the complete IED is delivered. This is not given when an
additional Ethernet interface is installed or an interface is replaced.
• The default IP address for the IED front port is 10.1.150.3 and the
corresponding subnetwork mask is 255.255.255.0, which can be set via the
LHMI path Main menu/Configuration/Communication/TCP-IP
configuration/1:ETHFRNT
• The default IP address for the IED rear port is 192.168.1.10 and the
corresponding subnetwork mask is 255.255.0.0, which can be set via the
LHMI path Main menu/Configuration/Communication/TCP-IP
configuration/1:ETHLAN1
The front and rear port IP addresses cannot belong to the same
subnet or communication will fail. It is recommended to change the
