When a hardware channel is connected, a graphical symbol appears in the Application
Configuration tool. The connection is also displayed in the Signal Matrix tool with a
cross mark. Hardware channels are always visible in the Signal Matrix tool.

Figure 48:
Application Configuration tool: HW signal channels
There are three types of supported hardware channels.
•
Binary input channels
•
Binary output channels
•
Analog input channels
Hardware input channel can be used as often as needed. A hardware binary output
channel is taken from the list of available channels when a new channel is requested.
This prevents using the same hardware binary output channel twice.

Online monitoring
The online monitoring enables the continuous monitoring of the signal or channel
values in the configuration. In the “Online monitoring” mode, the configuration
cannot be edited in the Application Configuration tool.
Online monitoring can be started by clicking the Work online button in the toolbar. If
the application configurations in the IED and PCM600 are the same, the online
monitoring starts. The online monitoring ends and the tool returns to the configuration
mode if the Work Offline button is clicked.
Online monitoring cannot be started if the application configuration in
IED and PCM600 are different.
