IED Update updates only the license and the relay and LHMI software for the modified hardware and software. In addition, the relay and the LHMI configurations need to be modified to enable the required new functions. The configuration modification contains two steps.
Update the PCM600 configuration online or offline to match the new relay license using License Update.
The configuration is updated online when PCM600 has a connection to the relay: License Update reads the updated license information from the relay, shows the relay composition information and updates the PCM600 configuration.Figure 1. Using License Update online
The configuration is updated offline when PCM600 does not have a connection to the relay: the relay composition information is manually edited in License Update to correspond to the new functionality. The PCM600 configuration is then updated to match the new relay composition, that is, the license.
After the license update, modify the relay configuration to enable the required functions in the relay by using Application Configuration, Graphical Display Editor, Signal Matrix, IEC 61850 Configuration or other tool components in PCM600 depending on the function.
The relay configuration and settings in PCM600 can be modified offline without a connection to the relay even before the relay license and software update. The prerequisite is to have the new relay composition updated to PCM600 using License Update. The needed modifications of the relay configuration can then be done and saved in a PCM600 project. If this is done before the relay license and software update, License Update does not have to be started automatically as it is enough to write the modified configuration and settings to the relay (Write to IED).
Note: The new relay composition updated offline in License Update must be identical to the license updated in the relay. Otherwise the modified configuration cannot be written to the relay until the composition matches the license found in the relay.
