PCM600 Getting Started Guide

Parameter Setting is used for parameterizing the IED units.

  1. In Plant Structure, select an IED or a function.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Parameter Setting.
    Parameter Setting opens in the tool window and displays parameter data for the selected node. The content of the list displayed depends on the selected level in Plant Structure. Settings can be sorted into two groups.
    • Configuration parameters that specify the operation mode of an application function or the IED, and are normally configured only once.
    • Setting parameters that can be changed in the IED at runtime.
      Tip: To see the actual IED values, read them from the IED.
  3. On the menu bar, click View and modify the parameter setting sheet view.
    • Click Browse options, and select Display selected node + child nodes or Display only selected node.
      Tip: Depending on the selected node in Plant Structure, the view can contain all the parameters of an IED or only the parameters of a specific function.
    • Click Parameter layer, and select Basic parameters or Advanced parameters.
    • Click Setting group presentation, and select Vertical or Horizontal.
    • Click Parameter filter, and select which parameters are to be shown.
    • Click Group options, and expand or collapse the selected group and its child groups.
    • Select Column autosize to autosize columns according to their content.
  4. On the View menu, select Parameter warnings to enable displaying parameter warnings.
    Warnings are displayed in the Output window in certain situations.
    • Modifying a parameter affects other parameters.
    • Parameter reading or writing fails for some parameter.
      Tip: To find a parameter, press the shortcut keys CTRL+F.
