REC615 and RER615 Engineering Manual

To be able to import an SCD file at station level, the option IED 61850 configuration engineering mode enabled has to be cleared in PCM600.
  1. Select the station in the Plant Structure view.
  2. Right-click the station and select Import.
  3. From the open standard Windows menu, select the file to be imported and start the reading.
    The SCL Import Options dialog box opens, querying how the file should be handled during the import.

  4. In the SCL Import Options dialog box, select how to handle the file during the import.
    • Click Don't import IEDs of unknown type to protect the existing IEDs in case the SCD file does not match the original configuration in PCM600.
    • Click Replace unknown if it is known that the file includes additional IEDs that are needed. The IED of type “Generic IEC 61850 IED” is used to integrate these kinds of IEDs into the plant structure, for example.
    • Click Ignore PCM Object Type to update the IED object(s) in PCM600 from the IED type(s) in the SCD file, whether or not the IED type(s) in the SCD file matches the IED object(s) in PCM600. This option can be used, for example, when third party IEDs are included in the system and the SCD file sends GOOSE messages to ABB IEDs included in the project.
    • Click Ignore Substation Section to not import the SSD file part of the SCD file.
  5. Click Import when the file definition has been completed.
    A progress view displays the importing procedure.
  6. Make connections from the sending IEDs to the receiving function blocks with the Signal Matrix tool.
    Make connections between the signals that the server is sending and the function blocks on the receiver's side.
  7. Write the configuration to the IED.

    In the Plant Structure view, select the IED, right-click and select Write to IED.
