Item Description
Disconnect The Disconnect menu item when selected prompts the user to confirm
the disconnect command ( Figure 93 ).
Open Terminal Window Not Available at this time.
Setup Comm Port The Comm Port settings can be modified in the Setup Comm Port
dialog ( Figure 94 ) when the RS-485/Fiber Optic rear Comm Port is
present.
RS-232 Comm Port The RS-232 Comm Port settings can be modified in the Setup RS232
Comm Port dialog ( Figure 95 ) when the RS-232 Comm Port is present.
Ethernet The Ethernet Port Settings can be modified in the Setup Ethernet dialog

Change Address Multiple Control Addressing
The Control Communication Address can be modified in the Change
Communication Address screen ( Figure 97 ). The Communication
Address is used for both MODBUS® and DNP protocols. Substation
and Feeder Addresses apply only to DNP protocol.
When Change Address submenu item is selected, TCC600® will
respond with a confirming dialog screen ( Figure 98 ), As long as
communication to the remote location is maintained, the user can
switch between controls.
Miscellaneous:
Save – The Save command saves the Address change to the control
when TCC600 is connected to a control.
Close – The Close command cancels any Address changes before the
changes have been sent to the control.
Communication Access Security When Communication Access Security is enabled it applies only when
MODBUS has been selected regardless of the physical interface. If
enabled, the user Level Access Code must match either the Level 1 or
Level 2 Access Codes in order to be granted the access to control
settings ascribed to each Level. If an invalid Access Level Code is
entered at the connection prompt, then read only access will be
granted. TCC600® must be closed for the timeout period specified (1 to
50,000 seconds) in order for any Access Code changes to take effect
when this feature is enabled. The setting range is from 1 to 50,000
seconds ( Figure 99 ).
HeartBeat Option The purpose of the SCADA HeartBeat feature is to have two sets of
settings for the control and switch between these two setting sets
based on the presence or absence of SCADA communications
(utilizing the DNP protocol) to the control. The SCADA HeartBeat
feature can be enabled from TCC600 Communications software. There
are four different types of SCADA HeartBeat modes that can be
selected:
• SCADA HeartBeat for transformer control applications (LTC)
• SCADA HeartBeat for regulator control applications (Regulator)
• Profile Switching (DNP)
• Profile Switching (GOOSE)
HeartBeat can be enabled or disabled ( Figure 100 ) and the control type
selected.
