Relay engineering process
PCM600 is used for various tasks in the protection relay engineering process.
•
Relay engineering management
•
Organizing the bay protection relays in the structure of the substation by
defining voltage levels and bays below the substation. PCM600 manages
the project.
•
Configuring the protection relay functions (for example, protection and
control functions) by using the Application Configuration tool.
•
Configuring the parameters and setting values for the protection relay itself
and for the process functions by using the Parameter Setting tool.
•
Drawing single-line diagrams and making links to dynamic process values
by using Graphical Display Editor. The single-line diagrams are displayed
in LHMI and WHMI on the bay protection relay.
•
Configuring connections between the application configuration function
blocks and physical hardware inputs and outputs by using the Signal Matrix
tool or the Application Configuration tool.
•
Configuring the events shown on the LHMI using the HMI Event Filtering
tool.
•
Reusing configurations from older protection relay versions using the
Configuration Migration tool.
•
Communication management
•
IEC 61850 station communication engineering is done using the internal
IEC 61850 Configuration tool or the separate IET600. PCM600 interacts
with IET600 by importing and exporting SCL files.
•
Configuring the GOOSE receiving data connections to the protection
relay's application configuration function blocks by using the Application
Configuration tool and the Signal Matrix tool.
•
Configuring protocol data mapping for IEC 60870-5-101/104, Modbus or
DNP3 with the Communication Management tool.
•
Configuring the sampled values (process bus) between the devices using
the Application Configuration tool and IEC 61850 Configuration tool.
•
Record management
•
Generating overviews on the available (disturbance) recordings in all
connected protection relays by using the Disturbance Handling tool.
•
Manually reading the recording files (in the COMTRADE format) from the
protection relays by using the Disturbance Handling tool or automatically
by using the PCM600 Scheduler.
•
Managing recording files with the Disturbance Handling tool.
