To set up an IED online, the protection relay must be connected to PCM600.
When the protection relay is already connected to PCM600, PCM600 can read the order number directly from the relay. It is possible to read the full configuration from the relay by using the Read from IED function.
-
In the Plant Structure view, right-click the bay, point to New, point to the relay application area such as Motor Protection IEDs and select the protection relay type to be inserted.
Tip: Alternatively, drag an IED from the Object Types view to the bay level.

-
On the IEC61850 communication protocol page, select the port from the Port list.
- If the rear port is selected, type the correct IP address (of the physical protection relay to be configured) to the IP address box.

Communication configuration is now defined.
- Click Next to scan/read the order code of the protection relay.

On the Configuration selection page, select the configuration type and click Next.
- Select Empty Configuration to create an empty configuration.
- Select Example Configuration to import any existing example configuration.
Click Browse to select the .pcmi/.pcmt file that has the example configuration.

On the Version selection page, select the IEC 61850 version and click Next.
Note: Regardless of the protocol used in the installation for each project, the IEC 61850 version must be selected when adding the first protection relay to the plant structure. After the initial selection all protection relays in the plant structure use the selected version, either Edition 1 or Edition 2.
-
The Setup complete page shows the summary of the protection relay's IED type, version, IP address and the selected order number. Click Finish to confirm the configuration and conduct the insertion.
Figure 8. Setup complete
Tip: To cancel the insertion, click Cancel.Note: If an error is found on the Setup Complete Page, it is not possible to go back and make modifications. If an error is detected, cancel the insertion by clicking Cancel and insert the IED again. -
From the Plant structure view, check that PCM600 has turned online the IED that was inserted to the bay level.
Note: Data cannot be scanned from the protection relay and proceeding is prevented if the IED is not online or if the IP address is not correct.
