PCM600 tool
Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600 offers all the necessary functionality
to work throughout all stages of the IED life cycle.
• Planning
• Engineering
• Commissioning
• Operation and disturbance handling
• Functional analysis
With the individual tool components, you can perform different tasks and functions
and control the whole substation. PCM600 can operate with many different
topologies, depending on the customer needs.
PCM600 is used to conduct complete engineering and configuration activities
needed for the bay level IEDs.
Product type and version specific engineering data needed by PCM600 for
protection, control and communication engineering of a particular bay IED is
provided in an IED connectivity package.
PCM600 communicates with the bay IEDs via an Ethernet connection. The
connection allows to read and write all configuration data needed for proper
operation from or to the IED. The IEDs have communication interfaces for
protocols and media used for station communication. Bay IED IEC 61850 station
communication files can be exported from PCM600 to the station engineering tools
for engineering of station communication between the bay IEDs and station IEDs.
A PC with PCM600 can be connected to any 615 series IED within a station by
using the Ethernet connection. The Ethernet connection can later be used also for
service and maintenance purposes. In addition, the connection is used to handle
disturbance records from the protection IEDs using the IEC 61850 file transfer.
The modern-day IEDs are designed on the concept of the IEC 61850 standard. This
is mainly given for the organization of functions represented by an equivalent
logical node in the IEC 61850 standard. See the IEC 61850 parameter list for the
available logical nodes in the IED, following the structure and rules in part 7 of the
IEC 61850 standard in an IED configuration.
The engineering of the used communication protocols is a separate task and an
addition to the engineering of protection and control functions.
PCM600 can be used for different purposes throughout the IED life cycle. A set of
special tools is available for different applications.
