Inserting an IED from the template directory - Grid automation - Engineering Manual - REC615 Grid Automation Protection and Control - RER615 Grid Automation Protection and Control - 2.0 - IEC - ANSI - 28.04.2023
IED templates can be used for replicating IEDs with same order code in PCM600 projects. Template includes IED application configuration, graphical display configuration (single-line diagram), communication protocol mappings and parameters. An IED in the plant structure can be exported as a template (.pcmt file). The template library can be built from all the exported IED templates.
It is also possible to insert an IED from the template library to create a new IED in the plant structure. After a template IED has been imported, the IP address, the Caption in IED's Object Properties and the Technical Key that corresponds to the physical IED have to be changed.
Note: A template IED can be inserted only when the bay is selected in the plant structure.
In the Plant structure view, select the bay, right-click, point to New and select Create from template.
The Create New Object from Template dialog box opens.
