5.1.8  Importing preconfigured IEDs
A preconfigured IED includes all information related to the IED object in PCM600.
Preconfigurations are bound to a specific hardware configuration. The License
Update tool is needed to ensure that the configuration is compatible with the ordered
device.
1. In Plant Structure, right-click an IED group or a bay and select Import.
2. Select the preconfiguration file saved in .pcmi format and click Open.
The preconfiguration file is imported to the Plant Structure.
3. If needed, modify the configuration using the Application Configuration tool.
4. Write the configuration data to the IED by right-clicking the IED in Plant
Structure and selecting Write to IED.
• Click Yes to write the configuration data to IED.
• Click No to cancel the operation.
You can rename the preconfigured IED in the Plant Structure by
selecting the IED and pressing F2.
The ordered default configurations are not locked, and can be used as
a base for other configurations providing that all the needed hardware
and software options are available.
5.1.9  Exporting IEDs
1. In the Plant Structure, right-click the IED and then click Export.
The Information dialog box is displayed with the supported file types and their
descriptions.
