  1. Right-click an IED in Plant Structure.
  2. On the shortcut menu, click Set Technical Key in IED.
    A dialog box opens to inform about the technical key concept.
  3. Click OK.
    The technical key is read from the IED and the Set Technical Key dialog box opens.
  4. In Set Technical Key dialog box, select the technical key to be used. Select one of the given alternatives.
    • Use the existing technical key in the IED
    • Use the existing technical key defined for the IED object in PCM600
    • Set a user-defined technical key, which changes the technical key for both the physical IED and the IED object in PCM600
    Note: The maximum length of the technical key is 20 characters. The key must begin with an alphabetic character (A-Z, a-z), but the remaining characters can be alphanumerics or the underscore (A-Z, a-z, 0-9,_).
  5. Click OK to confirm the selection.
    Tip: The technical key must be unique within the same project. An error message is displayed if the same value is already given to another IED object in the PCM600 project.
