Adding a new IEC 61850 client to a PCM600 project is a two-step operation. First, a new generic IEC 61850 IED object must be created under the plant structure and then the relevant client ICD or CID file must be imported to the generic IEC 61850 IED.
Right-click a bay node in the project plant structure, point to New, then point to Generic IEC61850 IEC and select IEC61850 IED.
Figure 1. Creating a generic IEC 61850 IED
Rename the IED object as “Client_G”.
Right-click the IED and then select Import.

In the SCL Import Options dialog box, click Import.
Figure 3. Defining SCL import options
Start IEC 61850 Configuration and select Client-Server communication as engineering mode.
The newly added client should be present in the Clients column along with other clients on both the Data Set tab and the Report Controls tab.
