configuration and setting data of an IED with a single command. The user interface, workflow and the IEC 61850-based data model in PCM600 are designed according to the same philosophy as the Relion protection and control IEDs, ensuring smooth and seamless integration between the tool and the IEDs. PCM600 also secures the projects and data created with earlier versions of the PCM600 tool, which enables full backwards compatibility.

1. Description The Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600 tool provides versatile functionalities for the entire life-cycle of all Relion protection and control IED applications, at all voltage levels. This easy-to-handle tool helps the user to manage your protection and control equipment all the way from application and communication configuration to disturbance handling, including automatic disturbance reporting. Designed to communicate, PCM600 interacts with IEDs over the fast and reliable TCP/IP via corporate LAN or WAN, or alternatively directly through the communication port at the front of the IED. PCM600 tool is able to read and write all

2. Project explorer The project explorer can be used to navigate to the used IEDs within a project / substation and furthermore within an IED to navigate to the different functionality of an IED. The user is able to create a plant structure with a substation, voltage levels, bays and IEDs.

New IEDs can also be created by use of IED templates. This enables the reuse of existing IED configurations. IEDs, bays, voltage levels or a whole substation can be copied and pasted in the plant structure. Selection of a specific IED in the project explorer gives access to the IEDs tools. The function of importing and exporting descriptions of IEC 61850 substation configurations, configured devices and device functionality allows information to be shared with other

engineering and system integration tools. By using the filtering feature of the project explorer the user can filter information of other tools according to the selection made. 3. Parameter setting The parameter setting of PCM600 enables viewing and setting IED parameters offline (stored in the tool) and online (stored in both the tool and the IED). The parameters can be read from the IED to PCM600 or written from PCM600 to the IED while the IED is in service. In addition, the parameters can be exported and imported for test sets in the XRIO format (for example, Omicron Test Universe) or exported in the CSV format to be easily read and reused. The parameter setting function can be used in two different modes. The normal mode allows a quick viewing and changing of the most commonly used parameters, whereas the advanced mode unveils all parameters that can be set. PCM600 further offers a filtering function that allows the viewing of all IED parameters or the parameters related to a specific function block. In addition, it can be chosen to only view parameters that have been changed or parameters with values deviating from the IEDs setting. Changed parameters with different values in the tool and in the IED are clearly indicated.

4. Graphical application configuration The graphical application configuration functionality offers powerful ways to create, adapt and modify application configurations, which also can be made as templates for later re-use. PCM600 also enables presentation of the whole signal flow from input to output. It also assists the user during the creation of application configuration through colour indications of the function blocks to ensure that the mandatory inputs have been correctly connected. Before writing the configuration to an IED, the tool offers validation of the complete IED configuration which ensures that the configuration does not contain errors. Additionally, the user can compare the configuration in the tool to the one in the IED. Further, the signal status on-line monitoring functionality helps to verify the real-time processes in the IED, which is extremely useful for troubleshooting.

6. Graphical display editor The graphical display editor is used for configuring the display of an IED. The graphical display consists of one or more pages. A display page contains the drawing area where the actual display configuration is made. A display is configured by dragging predefined graphical symbols from a library to the drawing area. The directed link tool can be used to draw connections between symbols. Every symbol type has a corresponding representation in both the ANSI and the IEC symbol palettes. Symbols can be connected to the application configuration. The graphical display editor also supports the reuse of display page templates made for other IEDs.

5. Signal matrix The graphical signal matrix of PCM600 allows connecting efficiently CTs, VTs, binary input and output signals to the configuration. The configuration can also be changed from here. The tool can also be used for connecting the LEDs on the IED as well as for connection of the GOOSE signals between the IEDs. Once the IEDs have been configured and parameterized, PCM600 enables the configuration of the horizontal bay-tobay communication for station-wide interlocking and sends the complete IED description to a system engineering tool.

7. Hardware configuration The hardware configuration can be used to get a quick overview of an IED and to add or change hardware modules. It is possible to view the front and back of the IED including card information and their slot position. Furthermore it is possible to compare the hardware configuration used in the tool to the actual one in the IED. 8. IED configuration comparison IED comparison is used for comparing configurations of two IEDs of the same kind. Comparison can be made offline regardless of the IEDs being in the same PCM600 project or not. Additionally, the configuration of an IED can be compared to a loose PCMI file. When connected to the IED, it is possible to compare the configurations between the IED and the PCM600 online. A report of the differences between the two different IED configurations is provided as a result of the comparison. 9. Signal monitoring The signal monitoring function provides the user with online information about the measured values and displays the status of binary input and output signals of an IED. Furthermore, PCM600 facilitates commissioning and testing of physical connections via the signal monitoring tool (forcing of signals). 10. Event viewer The event viewer of PCM600 enables viewing the IED sequence of events information including timestamps. The event log facilitates detailed post-fault analyses of faults and disturbances. Event viewer additionally enables reading the security events from the IED. 11. Disturbance handling PCM600 offers effective handling and monitoring of disturbance records from the IEDs. The disturbance files

stored in the standard COMTRADE format allow the user to view the disturbance record using Wavewin software or any commercially available disturbance analyzer supporting the COMTRADE format. If required, the report layout and contents can be adapted to user-specific needs. By means of the task scheduler of PCM600, the records can be set to be automatically read from the IED. The task scheduler is an independent process and does not require PCM600 to be activated. After receiving the file, PCM600 automatically creates a disturbance report, which can immediately be forwarded to subscribers by e-mail. Such a notification shortens the time from disturbance detection to corrective action. 12. Communication management The Communication Management tool is used to configure different communication protocols for an IED. DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101/103/104 or Modbus are the communication protocols that can be engineered. Depending on the used protocol, the tool provides different views and capabilities to support in the selection or mapping of communication signals. 13. IEC 61850 configuration The IEC 61850 configuration tool of PCM600 provides the viewing or engineering of the dataset and dataflow configuration for a vertical or horizontal IEC 61850 communication. In the view mode, the tool supports the viewing of the IEC 61850 configuration, whereas in the engineering mode it is possible to configure IEC 61850 datasets and dataflow for the horizontal and vertical communication.
