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 protection relay functions (for example, protection and
control functions) by using Application Configuration
• Configuring the parameters and setting values for the protection relay and
for the process functions by using Parameter Setting
• Configuring LHMI pages, drawing single-line diagrams and making links
to dynamic process values by using Graphical Display Editor. The single-
line diagrams are displayed on the LHMI and the WHMI on the bay
protection relay.
• Configuring connections between the application configuration function
blocks and physical hardware inputs and outputs by using Signal Matrix or
Application Configuration
• Configuring the events shown on the LHMI using HMI Event Filtering
• 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 Application
Configuration tool and the Signal Matrix tool.
• Configuring protocol data mapping for Modbus, DNP3 or IEC
60870-5-103 with the Communication Management tool.
• Configuring the sampled values (process bus) between the devices using
Application Configuration, IEC 61850 Configuration and Signal Matrix.
• Configuring Ethernet ports and other network settings using Ethernet
Configuration.
• Record management
• Generating overviews of the available disturbance recordings in all
connected protection relays by using Disturbance Handling
• Manually reading the recording files (in the COMTRADE format) from the
protection relays by using Disturbance Handling or automatically by using
PCM600 Scheduler
• Managing recording files with Disturbance Handling
