REC615 and RER615 Engineering Manual

For IEC 61850 engineering a separate system configuration tool is needed to be used with PCM600. In PCM600 Ver.2.4 the recommended tool is IET600, which is also included in the PCM600 Engineering Pro installation package. In PCM600 Ver.2.5 or later the recommended tool for smaller projects is the IEC 61850 Configuration tool. For larger projects it is recommended to use IET600, which is available as a standalone tool.

  1. Create a project in IET600. 2
  2. Import the SCD file created by PCM600. 2
  3. Conduct vertical communication engineering (monitoring direction).
    1. Check the default data sets.
    2. Configure and/or reconfigure the default data sets.
      Note: Data sets meant for vertical reporting can only contain data on the data object level, not on the data attribute level.
      Note: The data set for GOOSE can contain signals on the data attribute or data object level. Data object level GOOSE entries can only be received of the following CDC types: SPS, SPC, ACD, ACT, DPS, DPC, INC, INS, ENC and ENS.
    3. Configure additional Report Control Blocks when needed for each data set used for vertical communication.
    4. Link the IED clients to the Report Control Blocks.
      Note: Up to five report clients can be configured.
  4. Conduct horizontal communication engineering.
    1. Configure GOOSE control blocks for each data set configured for GOOSE messages.
      Note: One data can be included in the GOOSE data set only once.
    2. Define the client IEDs for each GOOSE control block.
    3. Link the IEDs to the GOOSE control block that is to receive the GOOSE control block.
  5. Export the updated SCD file. 2
    Note: All data sets, Report Control Blocks and GOOSE control blocks must be located in LLN0.
