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. A PCM600 project
can have only one substation.
•
Configuring the protection relay functions (for example protection and
control functions and LHMI 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.
•
Communication management
•
IEC 61850 station communication engineering is done using a separate
tool, IET600. PCM600 interacts with IET600 by importing and exporting
SCL files.
•
Organizing GOOSE messages received and managing the used IO signal is
done by using the Signal Matrix tool.
•
Communication engineering for the DNP3 protocol by using the
Communication Management tool.
•
Communication engineering for the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol by using
Application Configuration tool and Parameter Setting tool.
•
Disturbance 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.
•
Creating recording file content overview reports for fast evaluation with
assistance of the Disturbance Handling tool.
