8.4 Using PCM600
8.4.1 Setting communication between IEDs and PCM600
The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the used
communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC. It can be seen as a
second channel for communication.
The communication media is always Ethernet and the protocol is TCP/IP.
Each IED has an Ethernet front connector for PCM600 access. Depending on the
station concept and the used station protocol, additional Ethernet interfaces may be
available on the rear side of the IED. All Ethernet interfaces can be used to connect
PCM600.
When an Ethernet based station protocol is used, the PCM600 communication can
use the same Ethernet port and IP address. The IED is able to separate the information
belonging to the PCM600 dialog.
To configure the physical connection and the IP addresses:
1. Set up or get the IP addresses of the IEDs.
2. Set up the PC for a direct link or connect the PC or workstation to the network.
3. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED. The
addresses are used for communication by the OPC interface of PCM600.
8.4.1.1 Communication options
Two options are available for the connection of PCM600 to the IED.
• Direct point to point link between PCM600 and the IED
• Indirect link via a station LAN or from remote via a network
Point to point link
The IED is provided with an RJ-45 connector on the LHMI. The connector is mainly
for configuration and setting purposes. Any Ethernet cable can be used but the
recommendation is STP.
The IED has a DHCP server for the front interface. The DHCP server assigns an IP
address to the computer connected to the front interface. The computer's LAN
interface has to be configured to obtain the IP address automatically.
