• Online mode: When the IED is already connected to PCM600 and the
communication is established, PCM600 can read the configuration directly
from the physical IED. This is useful when an order specific IED is used.
The order configuration is written to the IED at the factory and can be
accessed by PCM600. The housing type, the used overlay version for local
HMI and the IO boards included in the IED will be read from the IED
directly.
• Offline mode: When the physical IED is not available or not connected to
PCM600 the engineering steps are done without any synchronization with
the IED. The offline configuration in PCM600 can be synchronized with
the physical IED at a later state by connecting the IED to PCM600.
• Import a template IED available in the template library as a *.pcmt file.
• Import a configured IED available as a *.pcmi file.
