Building a plant structure
The plant structure is used to identify each IED in its location within the substation
organization. It is a geographical image of the substation and the bays within the
substation. The organization structure for the IEDs may differ from the structure of the
primary equipment in the substation. In PCM600 it is possible to set up a hierarchical
structure of five levels for the IED identification.
Build up the plant structure according to the project requirements. PCM600 offers
several levels to build the hierarchical order from Center down to the IEDs in a bay.
The following levels are available:
1. Project = Center
2. Substation = Name of the substation
3. Voltage Level = identifies to which grid type or part in the substation the IED
belongs to
4. Bay = Bay within the voltage level
5. IED = selection of the IED, which is used in the bay. Several IEDs are possible
within a bay, for example one control IED and two protection IEDs.

Once a plant structure is built the name of each level in the structure should be
renamed by the names/identifications used in the grid. Use the right mouse button to
build the plant structure by selecting the elements from the context menu. Rename the
level after insertion, using the
Rename
possibility or the
