The parameter export and import function can be utilized, for example, when the protection relay's parameters are set using the WHMI instead of PCM600. The relay settings engineered with PCM600 can be exported to XRIO files and imported to the WHMI. The WHMI can be used to write the settings to the protection relays. The WHMI can also be used to read the relay setting parameters and to export those to files, which can be used by PCM600.
Note: The exporting and importing of settings is sensitive to the protection relay's content. Settings are exported and imported for one protection relay at a time. The export files of a specific protection relay can be exchanged between PCM600, WHMI and the actual physical IED. To avoid errors and to efficiently manage the exporting and importing of settings, for example, in a substation with several protection relays, ensure that the names of the export files identify the protection relay to which the file should be imported.
The parameter import/export functionality is available via the File menu when the Parameter Setting tool is open.
