PCM600 projects
A typical project in PCM600 contains a plant structure including one or several IED
objects, where each IED object contains the engineering data created or modified
using the different PCM600 tools.
Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, but only one project can be
active at a time.
With PCM600, it is possible to do various tasks.
•
Open existing projects
•
Import projects
•
Create new projects
•
Export projects
•
Delete projects
•
Rename projects
•
Copy and paste projects
The extension of the exported project file is .pcmp. The files are only used for
exporting and importing projects between PCM600s.
3.4
Communication between PCM600 and the protection
relay
The communication between the protection relay and PCM600 is independent of the
used communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC.
All communication is done over Ethernet using either IEC 61850 or FTP/FTPS
protocol.
Each protection relay has an Ethernet interface connector on the front and optionally
on the rear side as well. The Ethernet connector can be used for communication with
PCM600.
When an Ethernet-based station protocol is used, the same Ethernet port and IP
address can be used for PCM600 communication.
