6 Configuring IEC 61850
The PAS software supplied with the PM180 provides a configuration tool for customizing your
device and generating a configured IED description (CID) file for use with IEC 61850 client
applications. See the PM180 Operation Manual for more information on installation and
operating PAS on your computer.
To reset the IEC 61850 settings to the factory defaults:
1. Select Administration->Master Reset from the Monitor menu.
2. Click the “Reset IEC 61850 Configuration” button, and then confirm the command.
6.1 Licensing IEC 61850
A valid license key must be provided in the PM180 for IEC 61850 communications. The
device is normally shipped with a temporary license, which is valid for a 30-day operation
and then can be extended for an additional month.
A permanent license can be obtained from your local distributor for an additional fee. A
device serial number must be provided in the license request. The device may also be
shipped with the permanent license in the event of a pre-paid fee.
To program a license key in you device:
1. Select Administration->Update License from the Monitor menu.
2. Type in the license code and click Send.
6.2 Configuring IED Properties
The IEC 61850 configurator allows you to configure the IED name, device location,
measurement units and communication options, and to arrange a set of report control blocks
for multi-client installations
To configure the IED properties in your device:
1. Select IEC 61850 Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on the IEC 61850
IED Properties tab.
2. Configure IED options for your application as required.
NOTES
• The configured IED name accompanies logical device names in object references.
• The device location also identifies the substation location in COMTRADE configuration
files as the station_name attribute.
• Attributes marked with the asterisk cannot be changed in the device via this setup
but you can define and store them to the device database when working offline to
use for updating a device CID file.
• The number of RCB instances defines how pre-defined RCBs are arranged in the
device for use in multi-client applications. The RCBs are automatically pre-configured
in the device in the way indicated in Section “Reporting model”. The RCB names and
report IDs are set to defaults as the number of RCB instances changes. If you intend
to change the default setting, set it first before configuring report control blocks.
