• Direct point-to-point link between PCM600 and the IED front port. The front port
can be seen as a service port.
• Indirect link via a station LAN or from remote via a network.
The physical connection and the IP address must be configured in both cases to enable
communication.
The communication procedures are the same in both cases.
1. If needed, set the IP address for the IEDs.
2. Set up the PC or workstation for a direct link (point-to-point), or
3. Connect the PC or workstation to the LAN/WAN network.
4. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED to match the
IP addresses of the physical IEDs.
Setting up IP addresses
The IP address and the corresponding communication subnetwork mask must be set
via the LHMI for each available Ethernet interface in the IED. Each Ethernet interface
has a default factory IP address when the IED is delivered. The IP adress and the
subnetwork mask might have to be reset when an additional Ethernet interface is
installed or an interface is replaced.
• The default IP address for the IED front port is 10.1.150.3 and the corresponding
subnetwork mask is 255.255.255.0, which can be set via the local HMI path Main
menu/Configuration/Communication/Ethernet configuration/FRONT:1.
Setting up the PC or workstation for point-to-point access to IEDs front
port
An ethernet cable (max 2 m length) with RJ-45 connectors is needed to connect two
physical Ethernet interfaces together without a hub, router, bridge or switch in
between.
