It is possible to create a template of an IED’s data attribute mapping and store it for reuse. The template contains the description of the data attribute mapping of two IED SCL models.
All mapping templates created in PCM600 are stored in a template library. The template library is not specific to a certain PCM600 project, but it is common for all projects. Templates in the library can be managed in several ways.
- Delete selected templates
- Export templates: One or multiple template files can be exported.
- Import templates: One or multiple template files can be imported. If a template being imported already exists in the library, the user is asked whether to overwrite the existing one.
- Export project’s templates: When a PCM600 project is exported, all templates used in the project are automatically included in the exported .pcmp file.
- Import project’s templates: When a PCM600 project is imported, all templates included in the imported .pcmp file are automatically imported into the template library. If a template being imported already exists in the library, it overwrites the template in the library.
The mapping templates are also used by IET600 to translate the internal data references in the signal library to the FPN references, because IET600 needs to know what template to use to resolve the internal data references.
Note: Create a template for each IED mapping.
