The OPC server name, for IEC 61850-8-1 shall be:
ABB.PCM.IEC61850_OPC_DA_Server.Instance[1].
This is set under: Communication structure/IEC61850/OPCserver/Properties.
Update the OPC server configuration under the communication structure as
shown in
figure
Connect to the IED with a crossed Ethernet cable, or straight if connected
through a hub. You can ping the IEDs IP address in command mode to verify
contact before starting to use the PCM 600 toolbox.
Configuration
Configure the IED with the CAP 531 Application configuration tool. The
default password is abb. Right click on IED and select Application Configura-
tion.
The PCM 600 toolbox can be used to upload the ordered default configuration
from the IED and then change it to suit the needs of the application, however
the selected configuration will normally be sufficient for any application once
the binary input/outputs and analog inputs have been defined in the signal
matrix tool (described below).
If the configuration needs to be changed the existing configuration can be
uploaded or the version in the CAP 531 template library used. The template
library contains basic frameworks on which to build a complete configuration.
In CAP 531 you can add worksheets and your own logic such as automatic
switching logic etc. as required. It is advisable to always upload the IED
options as a first step. This harmonizes available functions in the tool with the
one in your IED. You can insert new worksheets under Edit, increase worksheet
size or add functions on existing worksheets.
Insert your new functions from the function library into the selected locations.
Click the inputs or outputs and type “v” to give variable names to a connection.
Connect to the other end with the same signal name, alternatively draw the con-
nection with the connector tool. Outputs may go to several function blocks but
inputs may only be connected to one so an OR gate might be required. Signals
to other sheets shall preferably be drawn to the edge of the sheet where there is
a red line. This ensures that signal cross-references will be shown at printout.
Open inputs are not allowed, connect them to FALSE (Off) or in some cases to
TRUE (On).
When you are ready, save and compile. Errors can be double-clicked to find the
source of the error signal. This allows the user to quickly correct any errors.
Download the complete configuration with OnLine/Download or click the
menu symbol. Do not interrupt during a download session. Downloading
should take approximately 2 minutes.
Once the download is completed testing can begin and the advantages of the
debug tool become apparent. Activate the worksheet and select OnLine/Debug
with the IED connected to the PC. This provides access to all signal status, red
is active, blue is inactive and green is for floating numbers such as counters,
phase selection etc. Test your IED to verify that the configuration is correct.
Note! The configuration connects signals to virtual IO which needs to be tied to
the physical IO with the signal matrix tool described below. These connections
must be made before the testing is started.
Note!
Signals from remote end via the LDCM
communication card are configured with the
signal matrix tool for connection to virtual
analog input function blocks.
The Signal Matrix tool is also used to con-
figure what is shown by the 15 LED’s. Sig-
nals to the LED’s can be selected from
virtual inputs or outputs so signals required
to be shown must first be configured to the
virtual IO blocks.
