1.
If needed, set the IP address for the IEDs.
2.
Set up the PC or workstation for a direct link (point-to-point), or
3.
Connect the PC or workstation to the LAN/WAN network.
4. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED to match the IP
addresses of the physical IEDs.
Setting up IP addresses
The IP address and the corresponding communication subnetwork mask must be set via the
LHMI for each available Ethernet interface in the IED. Each Ethernet interface has a default
factory IP address when the IED is delivered. The IP adress and the subnetwork mask might
have to be reset when an additional Ethernet interface is installed or an interface is replaced.
•
The default IP address for the IED front port is 10.1.150.3 and the corresponding
subnetwork mask is 255.255.255.0, which can be set via the local HMI path Main menu/
Configuration/Communication/Ethernet configuration/FRONT:1.
Setting up the PC or workstation for point-to-point access to IEDs front
port
An ethernet cable (max 2 m length) with RJ-45 connectors is needed to connect two physical
Ethernet interfaces together without a hub, router, bridge or switch in between.

Point-to-point link between IED and PCM600
The following description is an example valid for standard PCs using Microsoft Windows
operating system. The example is taken from a Laptop with one Ethernet interface.
Administrator rights are required to change the PC communication setup. It is
automatically detected that Tx signals from the IED are received on the Tx pin
on the PC. Thus, a straight (standard) Ethernet cable can be used.
