Configuration
This chapter explains procedure to configure an ECM850 with IEC 61850 client system, and
also explains how to add IEDs and select PPVs for monitoring and control in RX3i controller
applications.
3.1
Configuration Overview
The Machine Edition programmer is used to create and download the configuration for an
RX3i IEC 61850 network and its devices.
The illustration below shows a simplified view of user level configuration approach for an
ECM850.

Configuration Tools
Machine Edition is the primary tool used to configure the ECM850. Machine Edition has an
integrated “IEC 61850 Configurator”, which supports the configuration of IEDs. This tool
also allows browsing of the devices’ IEC 61850 object data model for selecting PPVs.
In additi
on, certain parameters can be set from a computer through the ECM850’s
Command Line Interface. The Command Line Interface can be used to set the ECM850’s
non-volatile parameters, which are listed below. These parameters are initially set up in the
Machine Edition configuration. If any of these parameters is subsequently changed from the
Command Line Interface, the module uses the new setting. Regardless of their source, the
module retains these non-volatile parameter settings over power cycles.
