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 Multiapplication IEDs and select the protection relay type to be inserted.
Tip: Alternatively, drag an IED from the Object Types view to the bay level.
Figure 1. Selecting the protection relay type
On the Configuration mode selection page, select Online configuration and click Next.

On the IEC 61850 communication settings 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.

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 version Edition 2.
The Summary 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.

Tip: To cancel the insertion, click Cancel.
Note: If an error is found on the Summary 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.
