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.
A PC with PCM600 can be connected to any 650 series IED within a station using the
Ethernet connection.
The Ethernet connection can then later also be used for service and maintenance
purposes. The connection is also used to handle disturbance records in COMTRADE
format from protection IEDs using the IEC 61850 file transfer.
The IEDs of today 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. The mapping between the logical node data model in
the IED, following the structure and rules in part 7 of the IEC 61850 standard, and the
function blocks in an IED configuration is given in the IEC 61850 communication
protocol manual.
The concept is also used for DNP3 protocol. The signals used or delivered by a
function block are automatically generated and available for station communication.
This concept allows a very efficient cost saving signal engineering.
The IEC 60870-5-103 protocol is engineered in Application Configuration tool and
Parameter Setting tool.
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.
The applications can be organized in:
•
IED product engineering
•
IED communication engineering per protocol
•
IED system monitoring
•
IED product diagnostic
This manual is valid for PCM600 supporting the 650 series product.
