3.5.1 Setting up IP addresses
The IP address and the corresponding subnet mask can be set via LHMI for the rear
Ethernet interface in the protection relay. Each Ethernet interface has a default factory IP
address when the complete protection relay is delivered. The configured rear port IP
address is preserved if a new communication card with Ethernet is installed or the
communication card is replaced.
The protection relay's front port IP address is fixed to “192.168.0.254”
and it cannot be modified.
1. Set the IP address for the protection relay's rear port and the corresponding subnet
mask via the LHMI path Configuration/Communication/Ethernet/Rear port.
Table 3: Default IP address for the rear port and the corresponding subnet mask
IP address Subnet mask
192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0
Communication fails if the IP addresses of the front and the rear port
belong to the same subnet.
When using redundant Ethernet (HSR or PRP), configure all devices in
the network before connecting cables to ports LAN A and LAN B. Avoid
using the LAN A or LAN B ports on redundant communication modules
while changing the Switch mode parameter.
3.6 IED Update
The firmware update tool is used for patching the IED firmware and for adding or
replacing additional languages to the IED. Update packages are provided by Customer
Support. The update tool can be used either locally or remotely.
It is recommended to take a backup of the IED configuration before starting the update.
This can be done by using the Read from IED function from the IED context menu in
PCM600. The user needs to be authorized before using the tool. User credentials are asked
if the default administrator password has been changed. Administrator or engineer
credentials are needed for authorization.
