Setting up a project

PCM600 operates on projects

A typical project in PCM600 contains a plant structure including one or several
IED objects, where each IED object contains the engineering data created or
modified using the different PCM600 tools.
Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, but only one project can
be active at a time.

Installing Connectivity packages

A Connectivity package contains the complete description of the IED data signals,
parameters and protocol addresses for a certain IED type and version. Several types
of IEDs can be managed in one PCM600 project, thus the corresponding
Connectivity package has to be installed on the PC. Connectivity Packages and
Connectivity Package Updates are managed in the Update Manager.
PCM600 must be installed before the connectivity packages can be
installed.
A Connectivity package for a specific IED type and version is divided in two parts.
The IED connectivity package base module is common for all 650 series IEDs.
The IED specific module is separate for each type of IED.
Installing IED Connectivity package
The Connectivity package is available on the CD that was distributed along with
the IED.
Procedure
1. Close PCM600 before running the IED Connectivity Package RE_650.exe
installation wizard.
2. Select the IED type(s) to install in the installation wizard window, for example
REL650 module 1.0.0 Module v.n. (n = version number).The installation
software guides the user through steps required to install the IED Connectivity
package base module and the specific IED type modules. The IED specific
module is installed to same location as for IEDConnectivity package base
module. The default directory is C:/Program Files/ABB/Connectivity Packages/
IEDConnPackRE_650.
