The menu bar and toolbar contents vary depending on the active object and tool.
The Object Types window shows all the available objects for the selected IED. The object list content depends on the IED type and the related connectivity package. Before the objects are shown on the list, the objects must be imported from the connectivity package to PCM600 by using Upload Manager.
The Project Explorer window is used to navigate to the used IEDs within a project/substation and to different functions within an IED. A plant structure with a substation, voltage levels, bays and IEDs can be created in Project Explorer. All the configuration work, such as communication configuration, can be done via this structure by using the configuration wizard.
The tool window is the working space, where all the tools are opened.
The Object Properties window shows the properties of the selected object. The name of the object can be changed in this window.
The Output window shows log information about the PCM600 events.
