Flexible Product Naming in PCM600 allows the use of a vendor-independent IEC 61850 model of the IED. This model is exposed in all IEC 61850 communication, but all other aspects of the IED remain unchanged (for example, names on the local HMI and names in the tools). This offers significant flexibility to adapt the IED to the customers' system and standard solution.
There are several benefits.
- IEDs use the customer model for communication.
- Customer-specific naming convention for communication can be used.
- Other IEDs and station-level equipment can be defined from the customer specific communication model.
- Error tracing of communication can be the same between different installations.
