To set up an IED online, the protection relay must be connected to PCM600.
When the protection relay is connected to PCM600, PCM600 can read the composition code 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.

On the IEC61850 communication protocol page, select the port from the Port list.
- If the LAN port is selected, type the correct IP address (of the physical protection relay to be configured) to the IP address box. Use the either the front port which has default IP address 192.168.0.254 or Network 1 which has a factory default IP address 192.168.2.10

Note: Regardless of the protocol used in the installation for each project, it is possible to have Edition1 and Edition2 relays configured in the same PCM600 project. The PCM600 project's SCL edition is the highest SCL edition relay in the project. -
On the Summary page, click Finish to confirm the configuration and insert the IED.
The Summary page shows the protection relay's IED type, IP address and the selected composition code.
