PCM600 operates on projects

A typical project in PCM600 contains a plant structure including one or several IED objects, where
each IED object contains the engineering data created or modified using the different PCM600
tools.
Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, but only one project can be active at a
time.
4.2

Installing Connectivity packages

A Connectivity package contains the complete description of the IED data signals, parameters and
protocol addresses for a certain IED type and version. Several types of IEDs can be managed in one
PCM600 project, thus the corresponding Connectivity package has to be installed on the PC.
Connectivity Packages and Connectivity Package Updates are managed in the Update Manager.
A Connectivity package for a specific IED type and version is divided in two parts. The IED
connectivity package base module is common for all 650 series IEDs. The IED specific module is
separate for each type of IED.
Installing IED Connectivity package
The Connectivity package is available on the CD that was distributed along with the IED.
Procedure
1. Close PCM600 before running the
2. Select the IED type(s) to install in the installation wizard window, for example
1.0.0 Module v.n . ( n = version number).The installation software guides the user through steps
required to install the
modules. The IED specific module is installed to same location as for IEDConnectivity package
base module. The default directory is
IEDConnPackRE_650 .

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.
