IED configuration tool PCM 600

PCM600 is compliant with IEC 61850, which simplifies IED engineering and enables information exchange with other IEC-61850-compliant tools. The hierarchical presentation model that reflects the real system topology allows you to efficiently view and edit information about your power system.

Engineer efficiently
PCM600 provides efficient functionality for application configuration and communication engineering. With an intuitive and well-structured user interface, PCM600 offers easy-to-use configuration capabilities for I/O mapping and signal mapping.

The user interface, workflow, and IEC-61850-based data model in PCM600 are designed according to the same philosophy as the IED itself, ensuring smooth and seamless integration between the tool and the IEDs.

PCM600 features facilities for engineering of IEC 61850 communication between bay and station levels and bay-to-bay GOOSE messaging for station-wide interlocking and control of parallel transformers.

Set parameters
The filtering functionality of PCM600 allows you to quickly view and change the most important parameters, or in the advanced mode, handle all parameters. Through upload of current settings and comparison functionality, you can ensure that intended settings have been modified and that the values are correct before the new IED settings are downloaded.

Analyze and monitor
Additionally, you can monitor measurements and signal statuses with the PCM600 tool. PCM600 scans and retrieves disturbance information for automatic report file generation. It can also automatically send the report to predefined e-mail addresses to facilitate fast corrective actions. It thus allows relay engineers to concentrate on disturbance analysis instead of manual data collection.
