Setting IED and communication
3.4.1
Setting the communication between IEDs and PCM600
The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the used
communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC. It can be seen as a
second channel for communication.
The media is always Ethernet and communication is based on TCP/IP.
Each IED has multiple Ethernet connectors, and all Ethernet interfaces can be used
to connect PCM600.
When an Ethernet based station protocol is used, the PCM600 communication
can use the same Ethernet port and IP address. The IED is able to separate the
information belonging to the PCM600 dialog.
To configure the physical connection and the IP addresses:
1. Set up or get the IP addresses of the IEDs.
2. Set up the PC for a direct link or connect the PC or workstation to the network.
3. Configure the IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED.
The addresses are used for communication between IEDs and PCM600.
3.4.2
Communication settings
The local and remote ports use fixed IP addresses, 192.168.0.254 and 192.168.1.254
respectively, and they also provide DHCP servers to assign an IP address for the
connected computer. The main communication port Ethernet interface has a factory
default IP address 192.168.2.10 when the complete IED is delivered. The service
communication port Ethernet interface has a factory default IP address 192.168.4.10
when the complete IED is delivered.
Different communication ports are available via optional communication modules.
Ethernet RJ-45 and optical Ethernet LC are the two station communication port
Ethernet communication options. Station communication port Ethernet is intended
for station bus communication. Communication protocols used via Ethernet ports
are IEC 61850-8-1 and IEC 61850-9-2 LE.
Use the correct Ethernet connectors in the IED with redundant
communication protocols like PRP. IEDs with PRP support have two
Ethernet connectors and redundant Ethernet ports are marked as LAN
A and LAN B.
The redundant communication module has two operation modes:
“Normal” and “PRP”. The operation mode can be changed from
communication settings.
For more information, see the communication protocol manuals and the
technical manual.
