Section 2 Relay engineering process
PCM600 is used for various tasks in the protection relay engineering process.
• Relay engineering management
• Organizing the bay protection relays in the structure of the substation by
defining voltage levels and bays below the substation. PCM600 manages
the project.
• Configuring the parameters and setting values for the protection relay itself
and for the process functions by using the Parameter Setting tool.
• Configuring the events shown on the LHMI using the HMI Event Filtering
tool.
• Reusing configurations from older protection relay versions using the
Configuration Migration tool.
• Communication management
• IEC 61850 station communication engineering is done using the internal
IEC 61850 Configuration tool or the separate IET600. PCM600 interacts
with IET600 by importing and exporting SCL files.
• Configuring the GOOSE receiving data connections to the protection
relay's application configuration function blocks by using the Signal Matrix
tool.
• Configuring protocol data mapping for Modbus with the Communication
Management tool.
• Record management
• Generating overviews on the available (disturbance) recordings in all
connected protection relays by using the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Manually reading the recording files (in the COMTRADE format) from the
protection relays by using the Disturbance Handling tool or automatically
by using the PCM600 Scheduler.
• Managing recording files with the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Creating recording file content overview reports for fast evaluation with
assistance of the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Using the Fault Record tool to read fault records from the protection relay,
save records to a PC and clear old records.
• Service management
• Monitoring the selected signals of a protection relay for commissioning or
service purposes by using the Signal Monitoring tool and Event Viewer tool
(including audit trail).
