Engineering mode selection
The communication mode can be selected from the drop-down list on the toolbar. Three modes are available: “GOOSE Communication”, “Client-Server Communication” and “Process Bus Communication”.
Switching engineering mode on and off
The button switches between engineering and view mode. The configuration can be edited only in the engineering mode.Figure 2. Engineering mode selection button
Note: When the engineering mode is enabled, SCD files from external IEC 61850 engineering tools cannot be imported into PCM600.
Switching IEC 61850 IED naming on and off
The button switches between IEC 61850 and PCM600 IED naming.
Create new object.
The button opens a window to create a new object. The type of object depends on the currently selected engineering type.
Selection details
The button opens the Editor window for the data currently selected in the mapping grid. The same editor can also be opened by double-clicking the data.
Receiving access points
All IEDs that have access points capable of receiving the kind of data according to the currently selected engineering type and engineering mode are displayed as columns in the mapping grid. A check mark in a column means that the access point is receiving the data.
Mapping grid
Mapping grid consists of check boxes for configuring what data is sent to or received by an access point. A check mark in the grid means that the data on the row is sent to the receiver in the column.
Data to send/receive
The data available for sending/receiving in the selected engineering mode and type is displayed as rows in the mapping grid. The data is context-sensitive, with the current selection in the PCM600 plant structure. A check mark in the row means that the data is sent to or received by an access point. Double-click a data to open the data editor.
Engineering type selection
Each engineering mode has several engineering types. Engineering type means the type of data to configure. The types can be selected by clicking the tab page on the bottom of the tool window. The available engineering types depend on the selected engineering mode.
