How to use the IED order specific files

PCM 600 Instructions

Introduction

This document is designed to instruct the users on how to use the IED order specific files (more
popular known as “option files”), more exactly – how to install them during the new IED insertion and
the Configuration Wizard process.

If you work offline, follow the steps described in the section:

- If you don’t have access to the IED

If you work online, follow the steps described in the section:

- If you have access to the IED

If you don’t have access to the IED

This step assume that you have order specific files available.

Step 1

Start PCM 600 and insert your IED, the IED Configuration Wizard will then start (see Figure 1).

If you have access to the IED

It is not necessary to use the zipped file for the selected order if you have access to the IED.

When the IED is set up, tick the checkboxes in PCM 600 (see Figure 1 and Figure 7 in the previous
section).

Start the Application Configuration Tool (see Figure 8 in the previous section).

Run CAP531
Navigate the menu: On-lineUpload Options
Navigate the menu: Edit Function Selector
(see Figure 9 and Figure 10).

In the Function Selector Tool window, choose FileLoadUploaded Data.
When the data is loaded, press the Save button in the window and then close the window (see Figure
11).
The application will perform an “Update Version” action automatically. A new compilation might be
needed following the “Update version”.

Figure 11

Following the compilation, the IED with the right options is available and functional in the PCM600
project.

You are now ready to engineer only using function blocks that are available in the present IED.
