The context menu or the Object Types view shows the available IEDs that can be inserted on the bay level of the plant structure according to the installed connectivity package.
It is possible to do various tasks in the plant structure.
- Insert either an offline or an online IED
- Import a template IED that is available in the template library as a .apcmt file
- Import a preconfigured IED available as a .apcmi file
Note: PCM600 uses two kinds of IED files: .apcmt and .apcmi. Both files include the complete IED configuration but their usage differs. The .apcmt files are always accessed through the PCM600 template manager while the .apcmi files are meant for sharing the IED instances between different PCM600 users enabling quick import and export from the plant structure context menu.
