while the IED is in test mode. For inputs, this is true regardless of the actual signal voltage present on the
input. For outputs, any output relay can be forced to be active or not, regardless of the current requested
state of the output in the IED logic configuration.
9.8.2
How to enable forcing
To enable forcing, the IED must first be put into IED test mode. While the IED is not in test mode, the
LHMI/PCM600 menus that relate to forcing will not have any effect on the input/output status due to
safety reasons.
9.8.2.1
Enable forcing by using LHMI
1.
Enable IED TESTMODE by setting IEDTestMode to On under Main menu /Test /IED test mode /
TESTMODE:1 .
IEC15000029 V1 EN-US
2.
Exit back to the root menu.
3.
Select Yes in the save dialogue box.
Once the IED is in test mode the yellow Start LED starts to blink.
9.8.2.2
Enable forcing using TESTMODE function block
•
Use the TESTMODE function block, appropriately configured in PCM600/ACT.
It may be convenient to control the input on mentioned component from, for example, an LHMI function
key or similar during commissioning to quickly and easily enter IED test mode.

Commissioning manual
Be observant that forcing of binary inputs and outputs on an IED, with inappropriate
setup, can result in potential danger.
