A typical project in PCM600 contains a plant structure including one or several IED objects, where each IED object contains the engineering data created or modified using the different PCM600 tools.
Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, but only one project can be active at a time.
Regardless of the protocol used in installation for each project, it is possible to have Edition 1 and Edition 2 relays configured in the same PCM600 project. The PCM600 project's SCL edition is the highest SCL edition relay in the project. If IEC 61850 is not used for station bus, either version can be applied. The protection relay's IEC 61850 version is by default Edition 2.
With PCM600, it is possible to do various tasks.
- Open existing projects
- Import projects
- Create new projects
- Export projects
- Delete projects
- Rename projects
- Copy and paste projects
The extension of the exported project file is .pcmp. The files are only used for exporting and importing projects between PCM600s.
