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 installation.
2. Install the 650 series Connectivity package base.
3. Select and install the IED modules as required.
4. Install the documentation.
