Introduction

The structure of a monitoring and control system for electrical substations has a principle
structure as shown in
It can be subdivided in the three main parts:
• Bay level IEDs
• Station communication
• Station level IEDs
(station-IED1)
IED 1
IEC08000101 V1 EN-US
Figure 2:
All three parts require specific engineering and configuration. PCM600 is used to do the complete
engineering and configuration activities needed for 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 given in an IED connectivity package.
PCM600 communicates with the bay IEDs via an Ethernet connection. The connection allows to
reading and writing 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. IEC
61850 communication files for a bay IED or a complete station can be exported from PCM600 to
station engineering tools for engineering of station communication between bay IEDs and station
IEDs.

Figure 2. It contains a number of IEDs for the various purposes.
For performance reasons, do not insert more than 65 IEDs of 650 series type in one
PCM600 project. Larger projects can be divided into several PCM600 projects.
