The IP address and subnet mask of the IED object in PCM600 must match the local / remote and rear port of the IED (physical IED) to which the PC is connected. The IP address of the IED can only be set via the WHMI or Parameter Setting tool in PCM600. The PC and IED need to be on the same subnet.
There are two alternatives to set the IP address of an IED object in PCM600.
On the first page of the wizard when including a new IED into a project.
In the IP address box of the IED's Object Properties dialog box.
Figure 1. Alternative 1: Setting the IP address on the first wizard pageFigure 2. Alternative 2: Setting the IP address in IED's Object Properties dialog boxChoosing between the two ways depends on when the IP address is set. Typing the IP address via the IED's Object Properties dialog box is possible at any time while entering it via the configuration wizard can only be done when adding the IED object.
In the Plant Structure view, select the IED to which the IP address is to be entered.
