Conformity
This product complies with the directive of the Council of the European
Communities on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC Directive 2004/108/EC) and concerning
electrical equipment for use within specified voltage limits (Low-voltage directive
2006/95/EC). This conformity is the result of tests conducted by ABB in
accordance with the product standards EN 50263 and EN 60255-26 for the EMC
directive, and with the product standards EN 60255-1 and EN 60255-27 for the low
voltage directive. The product is designed in accordance with the international
standards of the IEC 60255 series.
Safety information
Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though the
auxiliary voltage has been disconnected.

Non-observance can result in death, personal injury or substantial

property damage.

Only a competent electrician is allowed to carry out the electrical

installation.

National and local electrical safety regulations must always be

followed.

The frame of the IED has to be carefully earthed.

When the plug-in unit has been detached from the case, do not
touch the inside of the case. The IED case internals may contain
high voltage potential and touching these may cause personal injury.

The IED contains components which are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. Unnecessary touching of electronic components must
therefore be avoided.

Whenever changes are made in the IED, measures should be taken

to avoid inadvertent tripping.

Section 2 IED engineering process

PCM600 is used for various tasks in the IED engineering process.

• IED engineering management

• Organizing the bay IEDs in the structure of the substation by defining
voltage levels and bays below the substation. PCM600 manages the
project.
• Configuring the IED functions (for example, protection and control
functions) by using the Application Configuration tool.
• Configuring the parameters and setting values for the IED itself and for
the process functions by using the Parameter Setting tool.
• Drawing single-line diagrams and making links to dynamic process
values by using Graphical Display Editor. The single-line diagrams are
displayed in LHMI on the bay IED.
• Configuring connections between the application configuration function
blocks and physical hardware input and outputs by using the Signal
Matrix tool.

• Communication management
• IEC 61850 station communication engineering is done using the internal
IEC 61850 Configuration tool or the separate IET600. PCM600 interacts
with IET600 by importing and exporting SCL files.
• Configuring the GOOSE receiving data connections to the IED's
application configuration function blocks by using the Application
Configuration tool and the Signal Matrix tool.
• Configuring protocol data mapping for Modbus or DNP3 with the
Communication Management tool.

• Record management
• Generating overviews on the available (disturbance) recordings in all
connected protection IEDs by using the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Manually reading the recording files (in the COMTRADE format) from
the protection IEDs by using the Disturbance Handling tool or
automatically by using the PCM600 Scheduler.
• Managing recording files with the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Creating recording file content overview reports for fast evaluation with
assistance of the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Using the Fault Record tool to read fault records from the IED, save
records to a PC and clear old records.
• Using the Load Profile tool to read load profile records from the IED,
save records to a PC and clear old records.

620 series 17
Engineering Manual
Section 2 1MRS757642 A
IED engineering process

• Service management
• Monitoring the selected signals of an IED for commissioning or service
purposes by using the Signal Monitoring tool and Event Viewer tool
(including audit trail).

There are also additional functions for managing projects and organizing user rights.

• PCM600 user management

• Organizing users regarding their rights, profiles and passwords to use
different tools and functions in the tools.
• Defining allowed activities for user profiles to use tools in PCM600.

Once the engineering of the IED is finished, the results must be written to the IED.

The connection between the physical IED and PCM600 is established via an
Ethernet link on the front or rear port on the IED.

2.1 Monitoring and control system structure

The monitoring and control system for electrical substations contains a number of
IEDs for various purposes.

The recommended maximum size of a project is 200 IEDs. Larger

projects can be divided into several PCM600 projects.

The monitoring and control system can be divided into three main parts.

18 620 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS757642 A Section 2
IED engineering process

• Bay level IEDs

• Station communication
• Station level IEDs

All three parts require specific engineering and configuration.

A plant structure is used to identify each IED in its location within the substation
organization. The plant structure is a logical image of the substation and the bays
within the substation. The organization structure for the IEDs may differ from the
structure of the primary equipment in the substation.

In PCM600 it is possible to set up a hierarchical structure of five levels for the IED
identification.

• Project
• Substation = name of the substation
• Voltage level = identifies to which grid type or part the IED belongs in the
substation
• Bay = bay within the voltage level
• IED = the selection of the IED that is used in the bay; it is possible to insert
several IEDs within a bay, for example, one control IED and two protection IEDs

2.2 Default configuration

The product series covers IEDs developed for the protection of medium-voltage
applications. Every product has a predefined default configuration that contains
protection, control, supervision and measurement function blocks and default
logical connections; for more information, see the application manuals.

The default configuration includes, for example, connections between different

functions, assignment of inputs and outputs, definition of alarm LEDs and push-
buttons, single-line diagram and communication protocol mapping.

The default configuration represents how the functions are configured for a specific
application functionality, but the default configuration is not expected to be exactly
for any kind of field application with no modification.

The PCM600 tool helps to freely generate an application configuration, either from
the beginning or by tailoring the default configuration.

Current and voltage channels for protection and measurement

functions are fixed as a part of default configuration and cannot be
reassigned with Signal Matrix or Application Configuration in
PCM600.

620 series 19
Engineering Manual
Section 2 1MRS757642 A
IED engineering process

The default configurations also have selectable software options, which are
selected when ordering the IED. Some of the software options are related to the
IED hardware.

All functions and the application logic included in a standard configuration of the
IED can be in use at the same time.

However, by removing unused function blocks from the configuration with

Application Configuration in PCM600, more resources in the IED become
available for other purposes.
• More advanced user application logic with Application Configuration
• Extensive use of GOOSE sending and receiving
• Increasing the amount of data reported for IEC 61850 clients

It is possible to make a different kind of a sequence based on the information

available at the time when the project is started. This means that several iterations
may be needed to complete the project.

Setting up a PCM600 project

• The plant structure is built according to the substation structure.

620 series 21
Engineering Manual
Section 2 1MRS757642 A
IED engineering process

See PCM600 documentation for the recommended size of a

project. Larger projects can be divided into several PCM600
projects.

• To add an IED to a project, a suitable ConnPack is needed. IEDs can be added

either while connected or disconnected or through other means such as an IED
template.
• IED objects are uniquely named within the PCM600 project.

Application configuration in the Application Configuration tool

• Protection and control functions can be configured as needed.
• Programmable push-buttons are configured with the Application Configuration
tool.
• The configuration made in the Application Configuration tool is saved to make
the interfaces and signals available for other engineering tools within
PCM600, for example, for the Parameter Setting tool.

Parameter setting and configuration in the Parameter Setting tool

• Configuration parameters such as CT and VT conversion values of the
transformer module are checked by the tool.
• If needed, the setting values are checked and adjusted with the Parameter
Setting tool.

Single-line diagram configuration in Graphical Display Editor

• It is possible to create a single-line diagram for the switching devices in the bay.
• Measurements can be included when needed.
• The dynamic elements are linked to the functions created in the Application
Configuration tool; for example, a breaker object is linked to the circuit
breaker control function.

LHMI engineering
• The LED behavior is defined with Parameter Setting.
• The LEDs are configured with Application Configuration.

Communication protocol engineering

• The communication engineering details are protocol-dependent.
• The connectivity package creates the IEC 61850 configuration for vertical
communication automatically and it is directly suitable, in most cases, for IEC
61850 client configuration. A station configuration tool, for example IEC
61850 Configuration tool or IET600, is used for horizontal communication.
• The Communication Management tool is used for other protocols; for example
Modbus.

Section 3 PCM600 tool

Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600 offers all the necessary functionality
to work throughout all stages of the IED life cycle.

• Planning
• Engineering
• Commissioning
• Operation and disturbance handling
• Functional analysis

With the individual tool components, you can perform different tasks and functions
and control the whole substation. PCM600 can operate with many different
topologies, depending on the customer needs.

PCM600 is used to conduct complete engineering and configuration activities

needed for the bay level IEDs.

Connectivity Packages are separate software packages that provide type and
version information to PCM600. Further Connectivity Packages assist the tool with
communications.

PCM600 uses IEC 61850 over Ethernet to communicate with bay IEDs. This
communication allows PCM600 to configure and monitor the IEDs. In addition to
IEC 61850 the IEDs have optional communications protocols and hardware to
connect to station engineering tools. PCM600 provides the ability to export the
configuration of the IEDs or entire substation in a standard file format which
allows for station engineering.

A PC with PCM600 can be connected to any 620 series IED within a station by
using the Ethernet connection. The connection can also be used for service and
maintenance purposes. In addition, the connection is used to handle disturbance
records from the protection IEDs.

The modern-day IEDs are designed using the concept of the IEC 61850 standard.
This is primarily in regards to how functions within the IED are modelled and how
the IED is represented in the substation. See the IEC 61850 parameter list for the
list of logical nodes available in the IED and observe how they follow the structure
and rules as defined in part 7 of the standard.

The engineering of the used communication protocols is a separate task and an

addition to the engineering of protection and control functions.

PCM600 can be used for different purposes throughout the IED life cycle. A set of
special tools is available for different applications.

620 series 25

The applications can be organized into groups.

• IED product engineering

• IED communication engineering per protocol
• IED system monitoring
• IED product diagnostic

For more information, see PCM600 documentation.

3.1 Connectivity packages

A connectivity package is a software component that consists of executable code

and data which enables system tools to communicate with an IED. Connectivity
packages are used to create configuration structures in PCM600. The latest
PCM600 and connectivity packages are backward compatible with older IED
versions.

A connectivity package includes all of the data which is used to describe the IED.
For example it contains a list of what parameters exist, which data format is used,
the units, the setting range, the access rights and visibility of the parameter. In
addition it contains code which allows software packages that consume the
connectivity package to properly communicate with the IED. It also allows for
localization of text even when its read from the IED in a standard format such as
COMTRADE.

Update Manager is a tool that helps in defining the right connectivity package
versions for different system products and tools. Update Manager is included with
products that use connectivity packages.

3.3 PCM600 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.

With PCM600, it is possible to do various tasks.

• Open existing projects

• Import projects
• Create new projects
• Export projects
• Delete projects
• Rename projects
• Copy and paste projects

The extension of the exported project file is .pcmp. The files are only used for
exporting and importing projects between PCM600s.

3.4 Communication between PCM600 and the IED

The communication between the IED and PCM600 is independent of the used
communication protocol within the substation or to the NCC.

All communication is done over Ethernet using the IEC 61850 protocol.

Each IED has an Ethernet interface connector on the front and optionally on the
rear side as well. The Ethernet connector can be used for communication with
PCM600.

When an Ethernet-based station protocol is used, the same Ethernet port and IP
address can be used for PCM600 communication.

Two basic variants have to be considered for the connection between PCM600 and
the IED.

• Direct point-to-point link between PCM600 and the IED front port
• Indirect link via station LAN or from remote via network

1. If needed, the IP address for the IEDs is set.

2. A PC or workstation is set up for a direct link (point-to-point), or the PC or
workstation is connected to the LAN/WAN network.
3. The IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project are configured for each IED to
match the IP addresses of the physical IEDs.

PCM600 recognizes the installed connectivity package(s) during startup, and the
corresponding IED types are available in PCM600 when starting a new project.

4.3 Setting up communication between PCM600 and

the IED

4.3.1 Setting up IP addresses

The IP address and the corresponding subnet mask can be set via LHMI for the rear
Ethernet interface in the IED. Each Ethernet interface has a default factory IP
address when the complete IED is delivered. The configured rear port IP address is
preserved if a new communication card with Ethernet is installed or the
communication card is replaced.

The IED front port IP address is fixed to 192.168.0.254 and it

cannot be modified.

1. Set the IP address for the IED rear port and the corresponding subnet mask
via the LHMI path: Configuration/Communication/Ethernet/Rear port.

Default IP address for the IED rear port Corresponding subnet mask
192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0

Communication fails if the IP addresses of the front and the rear

port belong to the same subnet.

When using redundant Ethernet (HSR or PRP), configure all IEDs

in the network before connecting cables to ports LAN A and LAN
B. Avoid using the LAN A or LAN B ports on redundant
communication modules while changing the Switch mode parameter.

4.3.2 Setting up the PC or workstation for point-to-point access

to the local HMI's front port
This instruction is an example that applies to standard PCs using the Microsoft
Windows operating system. A laptop with one Ethernet interface is used in the
example.

It is possible to do various tasks in the plant structure.

• Insert an IED to offline mode or online mode

• Import a template IED that is available in the template library as a .pcmt file

PCM600 uses two kinds of IED files: .pcmt and .pcmi. Both files
include the complete IED configuration but their usage differs.
The .pcmt files are always accessed through the PCM600 template
manager while the .pcmi files are meant for sharing the IED
instances between different PCM600 users enabling quick import/
export directly from the plant structure context menu.

4.6.3 Inserting an IED from the template directory

IED templates can be used for replicating IEDs with same order code in PCM600
projects. Template includes IED application configuration, graphical display
configuration (single-line diagram), communication protocol mappings and
parameters. An IED in the plant structure can be exported as a template (.pcmt
file). The template library can be built from all the exported IED templates.

It is also possible to insert an IED from the template library to create a new IED in
the plant structure. After a template IED has been imported, the IP address, the
Caption in IED Object Properties and the Technical Key that corresponds to the
physical IED have to be changed.

A template IED can be inserted only when the bay is selected in the
plant structure.

1. In the Plant structure view, select the bay, right-click, point to New and
select Create from template.
The Create New Object from Template dialog box opens.

4.7 Setting the IED IP address in a project

The IP address and subnet mask of the IED object in PCM600 must match the front
and rear port of the physical IED to which the PC is connected. The IP address of
the physical IED can only be set via the LHMI and cannot be set from PCM600.
The PC and IED may need to be on the same subnet.

In PCM600, there are two alternatives to set the IP address of an IED object.

• On the first page of the wizard when including a new IED into a project.
• In the IP address box of the IED's Object Properties dialog box.

dialog box

Choosing between the two ways depends on when the IP address is set. Typing the
IP address via the IED Object Properties dialog box is possible at any time while
entering it via the configuration wizard can only be done when adding the IED object.

1. In the Plant Structure view, select the IED to which the IP address is to be
entered.
2. On the View menu, select Object Properities.
Object Properties dialog box is opened.
3. Type in the IP address to the IP Address row.

4.8 Technical key

Both a physical IED and an IED object in PCM600 have a technical key. The
technical key in the IED and PCM600 must be the same, otherwise it is not
possible to download a configuration.

Each IED in a PCM600 project must have a unique technical key. Therefore, it is
not possible to set the same technical key for several IEDs in the same PCM600
project.

The IED is delivered with a factory default technical key. The

validation of the technical keys between PCM600 and the IED does
not occur if the IED contains the factory default technical key.

The technical key property in PCM600 corresponds to the IED

name attribute in SCL files. Avoid changing the IED name attribute

52 620 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS757642 A Section 4
Setting up a project

outside PCM600, because data in PCM600 may get lost when

importing the SCL files.

The technical key must be the same for the communication between the IED and
PCM600. The technical key can be read from the IED and updated to PCM600, or
the PCM600 technical key can be written to the IED. Alternatively, a user-defined
technical key can be defined.

When writing a configuration to the IED, PCM600 checks for a mismatch between
the IED object and the physical IED technical key.

GUID-38A69E9A-6C40-41EB-AE61-405AA0D026AB V1 EN

Figure 29: Reboot suggestion

Ensure that the IED object in PCM600 has the same IP address as
the physical IED that is intended to be connected through the
technical key concept.

Change the technical key for an IED object in the Object

Properties dialog box in PCM600.

4.8.1 IEC 61850 naming conventions to identify an IED

The IEC 61850 naming conventions to identify an IED are only valid when the IEC
61850 standard is used for station bus communication. According to the IEC 61850–
6 clause 8.4, the SCL model allows two kinds of project designations in the object
properties: a technical key and a user-oriented textual designation.

Technical key is used in engineering drawings and for signal identifications. This is
contained in the attribute name as an identification of each object. If the value is
used as a reference to an object, it is contained in an attribute name starting with a
string denoting the reference target object type and ending with the string Name.

620 series 53
Engineering Manual
Section 4 1MRS757642 A
Setting up a project

The technical key is used within SCL for referencing to other objects. The name is
a relative identification within a hierarchy of objects.

User-oriented textual designation is contained in the desc attribute. Attributes are

not allowed to contain carriage return, line feed, tab, greater than, less than, double
quotes or ampersand characters. The semantics of desc must also be relative within
an object hierarchy.

PCM600 takes care of the two possibilities. The two possible signal designations
are available per object in the object properties for all the hierarchical levels
beginning with the station as the highest level.

The technical key is automatically generated based on the rules and type
specifications of IEC 61346 and the extended definitions assigned for substations
by a technical committee. The technical key is shown in the Object Properties
dialog box under SCL Technical Key or Technical Key.

• The station is predefined by “AA1" where 1 is the index. To get the real
station name that is used, it is possible to rename the SCL Technical Key for
the station as the name used by the project. To minimize the word length, a
short form should be used, because this name is used also in the transmitted
messages to identify the events, for example.
• The voltage level. In the example it is 20 kV and J1 is selected from the list
below SCL Technical Key in the Object Properties dialog box.
• The bay and the IED are appended with the coding defined in the IEC 61346
standard and the substation definition lists. In the example, the Bay SCL
Technical Key part is Q03 and IED is A1.

The user-oriented textual designation is visible in the Plant structure view for
each object. It is the name given by default or changed by using the Rename function.

5.1 Application Configuration tool

Application Configuration tool is used to modify an application configuration for

an IED and is based on IEC 61131-3 Function Block Diagrams.

The function blocks are dedicated to different functions.

• Control related functions

• Protection related functions
• Monitoring functions
• Communication

For more information on the function blocks, see the technical manual.

Most function blocks are mapped as logical nodes according to the IEC 61850
standard. See the IEC 61850 parameter list for more information.

If a function block is removed with Application Configuration, the

function related data disappears from the menus as well as from the
IEC 61850 data model, with the exception of some basic function
blocks, which are mandatory and thus cannot be removed from the
IED configuration by removing them from the Application
Configuration.

Other function blocks are not mapped as logical nodes; for example, logical gates.

The basic features of Application Configuration tool include the ability to organize
a configuration into several MainApplications as well as providing different
application programming features.

• Organize an application configuration

• Organize an application configuration into a number of logical parts
(MainApplication)
• Organize a MainApplication over a number of pages
• Features for programming an application configuration
• Insert function blocks, make connections and create variables
• Include the hardware I/O channels directly to the application configuration
• Calculate the execution order automatically by clicking Calculate
execution order on the toolbar.

620 series 65
Engineering Manual
Section 5 1MRS757642 A
Protection and control engineering

• Document the application configuration: such as, make printouts

• Save application configurations as templates in an application library to
reuse them in other IEDs (Function blocks and related logic can be fully
or partially reused depending on the functionality available in other IED)
• Validate the application configuration during the configuration process
on demand and while writing the application configuration to the IED

For instructions on how to perform the different tasks in PCM600,

see PCM600 online help.

5.1.1 Function blocks

Function blocks are the main elements of an application configuration. They are
designed for a various number of functions and organized into groups according to
type. The different function block types are shown in the Object Types view.
Function block data can be modified with the Application Configuration tool.

• User-defined names must be for function blocks and signals marked with blue
text.

Signals that have a user-defined name created with the

Application Configuration tool are only visible in the
Parameter Setting tool if the IED configuration is written to the
IED and read back to PCM600. Otherwise, the default signal
name is shown in the Parameter Setting tool.

If possible, the user-defined name has to be set to a signal

before connecting the signal to other function blocks.

• IEC 61850, ANSI or IEC 60617 symbol standard must be set.

• IEC or ANSI naming style must be set.
• Function blocks must be locked.
• Visibility for execution order, cycle time and instance number must be set.
• Signals must be managed.
• Boolean inputs and outputs must be inverted.

5.1.2 Signals and signal management

Function block has a set of input and output signals. The placement of function
block signals is from left to right. Input signals are placed on the left and output
signals on the right.

Function blocks can contain more signals than needed in that application part.
Unused signals can be hidden to get a clear picture.

Signals are located up and down on both sides of the middle position. When there
is space left, some signals may be moved up or down for better visibility and
connection routing.

620 series 67
Engineering Manual
Section 5 1MRS757642 A
Protection and control engineering

Boolean input and output signals may need to be inverted to fulfil the logic. The
Application Configuration tool supports the adding of inversion logic to a binary
signal.

The input signal on glue logic function blocks can only be inverted
if a glue logic function block with lower execution order in the
same cycle time is available. Similarly, the output signal can only
be inverted if a glue logic function block with higher execution
order in the same cycle time is available. Up to two input signals
and two output signals can be inverted for glue logic blocks in the
same cycle time.

All input signals have a default value that is used when not connected.

5.1.3 Function block execution parameters

Three function block execution parameters have an influence on the runtime
execution of the function block within the application configuration.

• Execution order
• Cycle time
• Instance number

Each time a new function block is selected, these parameters must be selected from
the lists in the Application Configuration tool. Depending on the function block
type, some of the three parameters are selectable and some not. The cycle time may
be predefined to one value. The instance number is a counter for the total possible
number of function blocks of that type used within the application configuration.

The Execution Order and Instance Number are a combination that is predefined
within a product. It is possible to select a pair out of the list.

To automatically calculate the execution order, click Calculate

Execution Order on the tool bar.

5.1.4 Execution order and feedback loops

With the Application Configuration tool it is possible to draw multi-layer
configuration logic that contains feedback loops. The execution order of logic
functions is calculated automatically in the Application Configuration tool, but the
execution order can be set manually also. If the automatically calculated value
causes the function to be executed one task cycle time after the other logic
functions in the same loop, the execution order number can be set manually to
prevent delays, for example, in output activation.

5.1.5 Configuration parameters

Configuration parameters can be viewed and set with the Parameter Setting tool.

5.1.6 Connections and variables

A connection is the link or "wire" between function block outputs and inputs.

There are rules and methods for making connections.

• Drag a line between two signals

• Link two signals by using variables

620 series 69
Engineering Manual
Section 5 1MRS757642 A
Protection and control engineering

It is possible to search and replace variable names in Application

Configuration tool.

Connect the variables to a destination, for example to a function

block or a hardware output channel. The connectivity package
automatically removes the orphan variables which are not
connected to any destination.

Connection validation
A connection is only useful or even possible between two signals of the same base
attribute type.

5.1.7 Hardware channels

Hardware channels can only be connected to a function block input or output. A
hardware connection can be established with the Application Configuration tool or
Signal Matrix tool.

When a hardware channel is connected, a graphical symbol appears in the

Application Configuration tool. The connection is also displayed in the Signal
Matrix tool with a cross mark. Hardware channels are always visible in the Signal
Matrix tool.

Figure 45: Application Configuration tool: HW signal channels

There are three types of supported hardware channels.

• Binary input channels

• Binary output channels
• Analog input channels

Hardware input channel can be used as often as needed. A hardware binary output
channel is taken from the list of available channels when a new channel is
requested. This prevents using the same hardware binary output channel twice.

5.1.8 Validation
Validation checks the application configuration for errors based on the rules that
govern the creation of the application at three different times.

• During the logic creation, while making a connection or placing a function block
• On demand by starting the validation
• When writing the application configuration to the IED

5.1.8.1 Validation when creating an application configuration

Validation is made when creating the application configuration.

• A connection between two input or two output signals is not possible

• A connection between two different data types is not possible: for example,
from a binary output to an analog input

620 series 71
Engineering Manual
Section 5 1MRS757642 A
Protection and control engineering

5.1.8.2 Validation on demand

The validity of an application configuration can be checked by clicking Validate

Configuration in the toolbar. The Application Configuration tool checks the
application configuration for formal correctness. The found problems are divided
into warnings and errors.

• Warnings, marked with a yellow warning icon

• Example: a variable connected to an output signal that is not connected
• Example: if an output from a user connects an output from a higher
execution order function is connected to inputs of lower execution order
function
• Errors, marked with a red circle with a cross
• Example: unconnected hardware output

Warnings do not prevent writing to the IED. However, errors must be corrected
before writing the application configuration to the IED. The application
configuration can be saved and the Application Configuration tool can be closed
with open errors, but the application configuration cannot be written to the IED.

These problems are listed in the Output view under the Application
Configuration tab. Double-clicking the error or warning row navigates to the
MainApplication/Page/Area, where the problem was identified.

5.1.8.3 Validation when writing to the IED

When writing the application configuration to the IED, an automatic validation is

performed. The validation is the same as the manually demanded validation. Errors
abort the writing.

5.2 Parameter Setting tool

Configuration parameters and settings parameters can be changed with LHMI,

WHMI or with the Parameter Setting tool in PCM600.

Some parameters are only visible in the Parameter Setting tool and
some only in LHMI.

A common writing from PCM600 to the IED, where parameters are

changed in the Parameter Setting tool, overwrites any parameter
changes made locally with LHMI.

620 series 73
Engineering Manual
Section 5 1MRS757642 A
Protection and control engineering

All variables listed and displayed in the parameter list can be sorted into two groups.

• Configuration parameters
• Setting parameters

5.2.1 Configuration parameter

Configuration parameter specifies the operation mode of an application function or
of the IED. These are basic configurations that are normally configured only once
and then not modified again. The IED configures itself during startup according to
the given configuration parameter values.

5.2.2 Setting parameter

Setting parameter (short form: “setting”) is a parameter that can be changed in the
IED at runtime.

5.2.3 Setting group

Nearly all settings used by the IED for protection application functions are
organized into a group of settings. Up to six setting groups can be configured with
different values.

The IED supports the selection of a setting group at runtime.

5.2.4 IED parameter import and export

The parameter export and import function can be utilized, for example, when the
IED parameters are set using the WHMI instead of PCM600. The IED settings
engineered with PCM600 can be exported to XRIO files and imported to the
WHMI. The WHMI can be used to download the settings to the IEDs. The WHMI
can also be used to read the IED setting parameters and to export those to files,
which can be used by PCM600.

The exporting and importing of settings is sensitive to the IED

content. Settings are exported and imported for one IED at a time.
The export files of a specific IED can be exchanged between
PCM600, WHMI and the actual physical IED. To avoid errors and
to efficiently manage the exporting and importing of settings, for
example, in a substation with several IEDs, ensure that the names
of the export files identify the IED to which the file should be
imported.

The parameter import/export functionality is available via the File menu when the
Parameter Setting tool is open.

Structure by expanding the setting tree.

5.3 Signal Matrix tool

The Signal Matrix tool is used to make cross-references between the physical I/O
signals and function blocks and for the GOOSE signal input engineering.

The Signal Matrix tool cannot be used for adding or removing

function blocks, for example, GOOSE receiving function blocks.
The Application Configuration tool is used for this kind of operations.

6.1.1.4 HMI display raster layout and text font selection

The raster on the page changes from symbol presentation to text presentation when
a text object is selected and vice versa.

The text can be presented in UniCode characters (6 x 12 pixels). The total size of
the presented white area (page) represents the visible part of the LHMI display
without the header line.

The visible display for a single-line diagram is organized in a raster of 9 x 7

(columns x rows). Each symbol (presented in 15 x 15 pixels) included in the drag-
and-drop method must be dropped into a raster box.

The description text for an apparatus object can be placed in all four directions
around the symbol. The description is part of the apparatus object. It is possible to
place the symbols without the assistance of Snap to Grid and manually change the
position coordinates.

6.1.1.5 Text handling

The display switches when text is selected in a display of 22 x 9 (columns x rows).

One display box holds one character. A text element must be placed in the position
of the display.

The name of a measurement or text symbol can be changed by double-

clicking the symbol or via the Object Properties view.

Selecting and toggling Show Texts using the IED fonts can be used to preview
the single-line diagram to see how it is presented in the real HMI display.

14 LEDs on LHMI, all these LEDs works the similar way.

6.2.1 Programmable interface FKEYGGIO

Function block FKEYGGIO is the interface provided to configure the 16
programmable buttons and controllable LEDs.

FKEYGGIO has 16 inputs, L1…L16 and 16 outputs, K1…K16. L1…L16

represent the 16 LEDs and K1…K16 represent the buttons.

When an input is set to TRUE, the corresponding LED is lit. When a button is
pressed, the corresponding output K1...K16 is set to TRUE.

6.2.2 Configuration of programmable buttons and controllable

LEDs
The Application Configuration tool or Signal Monitoring tool configures the
programmable buttons and controllable LEDs.

FKEYGGIO is a simple interface, as the L1…L16 just follow the status of the
inputs (True or false) and K1…16 just follow the status of the buttons (pushed or un-
pushed).

However, with a combined configuration with other functions, like SPCGGIO, it is

possible to enhance the functionality of the programmable buttons and controllable
LEDs.

SPCGGIO offers the capability to activate its outputs through a local or remote
control. The local control is provided through the LHMI menu and the remote
control is provided through communication. SPCGGIO also has two modes of
operation. In the Toggle mode, the block toggles the output signal for every input
pulse received. In the Pulsed mode, the block generates an output pulse of a preset
duration.

By connecting the outputs of FKEYGGIO through SPCGGIO, it is possible to have

toggled or pulsed functionality for the push-buttons and the control through button
can be controlled by local/remote mode of the IED.

Figure 66: Function key configuration

Button 1 is configured to block PHIPTOC1 through O1 of SPCGGIO1 and the

output status of O1 is also routed to L1 of FKEYGGIO. Thus, the LED on button 1
indicates the block status of PHIPTOC1.

OPERATE of PHIPTOC is connected to L2 of FKEYGGIO1. Thus, the LED on

button 2 indicates if PHIPTOC has operated. As K2 is not connected anywhere,
button 2 is not in use.

7.1 IEC 61850 protocol references and pre-conditions

To engineer the IEC 61850 protocol interface for the IED, the following additional
manuals or knowledge of their contents is required.

• Knowledge of the IEC 61850 engineering process as described in the IEC

61850 standard
• The technical manual describes the function blocks defined as logical nodes
• The IEC 61850 engineering guide
• The IEC 61850 conformance documents for the IED to be engineered

Figure 67: IEC 61850: communication interface principle

IEC 61850 provides a method for identifying all signals that belong to a function.
These signals are identified through the logical nodes representing the functions.
All signal information for commands and monitoring are available in logical nodes.

Whenever a function block is instantiated in the Application Configuration tool,

PCM600 automatically generates the corresponding logical node data.

7.2.1.1 GOOSE data exchange

The IEC 61850 protocol supports a method to directly exchange data between two
or more IEDs. This method is described in the IEC 61850–7–2 clause 15.

The concept is based on sending a multicast over the Ethernet. Whoever needs the
information, detects the telegram by its source address, reads the telegram and
handles it. The telegrams are multicast sent and not acknowledged by the receiver.

Figure 68: IEC 61850: horizontal communication principle, an example of

three IEDs where each IED communicate with all others

When a GOOSE message is to be sent, it is defined by configuring the data set with
the defined trigger option and GoCB. This engineering process is done in a station
configuration tool, for example, IEC 61850 Configuration tool or IET600. The
task involves configuring lists with the signal, value and quality (data attributes)
that belong to the GOOSE message data set.

In the opposite direction, the standard only defines the IED as a receiver of a
GOOSE message. How the GOOSE input signals are handled must be defined in
the IED application configuration. The SCL data generated by the IEC 61850
Configuration tool or IET600 (or any other station configuration tool) contains the
GOOSE data sets as input data. The input data must be connected to a GOOSE
receive function blocks in the Signal Matrix tool.

7.2.2 Function view for IEC 61850 in PCM600

The IED design is directly based on IEC 61850. Thus, the function blocks in
PCM600 tool use IEC 61850 logical node naming for function blocks. This relation
is automatically handled by the PCM600 tools.

The concept in the IED is such that the IEC 61850 data for each function instance
is available in the data model, even when the function is not used in the
application. This means that it is not necessary to handle any instance information
for the functions regarding IEC 61850.

7.2.3 Station configuration description file types

The IEC 61850 standard defines SCL file types in the sequence of engineering.
These files have a different definition, which is explained in IEC 61850–6. Three
of the file types are used in the engineering process for an IED.

620 series 105

Engineering Manual
Section 7 1MRS757642 A
IEC 61850 communication engineering

• ICD = IED capability description

• Capability description of the IED in logical nodes and their data. No
information about, for example, the communication configuration is
included.
• An IED is already extended by default data sets and report control
blocks. They are predefined by ABB. Changes or additional data sets, for
example, have to be done with IEC 61850 Configuration tool or IET600.
• SCD = Station configuration description
• A complete configuration description of all IEDs in a station and the full
engineering of process signals and communication structure is included.
This includes all the needed data sets and control blocks.
• CID = configured IED description
• The CID file contains the information needed for configuring one
specific IED. The CID file contains the complete configuration
description of one specific IED. This includes the configured IED name,
communication part, data sets and all control blocks.

7.3 IEC 61850 engineering process

The IEC 61850 standard defines how information is communicated in a substation.

The information communication can be divided into different parts.

• Description of the substation part, including the used logical nodes

• Description of the IEDs with their logical nodes
• Description of the communication network
• Description of the engineering process

When exporting a SCL file from PCM600, the tool builds a default substation
structure and creates default data sets and control blocks for vertical
communication between the substation client and IEDs. For more information, see
the IEC 61850 standards.

In the following example, it is assumed that PCM600 and IET600 are used as the
system configuration tools. Another option is to use the IEC 61850 Configuration
tool inside PCM600. In that case the SCL file export and import operations (steps 1
and 3) are not needed.

1. SCL files are exported from PCM600. In this case, a SCD file. It is also
possible to export other SCL file types.
2. Horizontal and vertical communication is configured using the station
configuration tool, for example, IEC 61850 Configuration tool or IET600.
3. SCL files are imported to a PCM600 project. In this case, it is the updated
SCD file.

7.3.1 Exporting SCL files from PCM600

A pre-condition for exporting SCL files from PCM600 is that all IEDs in the
project must be engineered in PCM600. The IEDs require unique name and IP
addresses and they must be set according to the project definitions. IED
configurations must be finalized as far as possible before starting the IEC 61850
configuration part.

7.3.1.1 Exporting SCD files

1. Select the station in the Plant Structure view.

2. Right-click the station and select Export.
3. From the open standard Windows dialog box, select the location to store the
file and name it.

7.3.2 Engineering vertical and horizontal communication

For IEC 61850 engineering a separate system configuration tool is needed to be
used with PCM600. In PCM600 Ver. 2.5 or later the recommended tool for smaller
projects is the IEC 61850 Configuration tool. For larger projects it is recommended
to use IET600, which is available as a standalone tool.

1. Create a project in an IEC 61850 configuration tool. [1]

2. Import the SCD file created by PCM600. [1]
3. Conduct vertical communication engineering (monitoring direction).
3.1. Check the default data sets.
3.2. Configure and/or reconfigure the default data sets.

Data sets meant for vertical reporting can only contain

data on the data object level, not on the data attribute level.

[1] Applicable when using IET600

108 620 series

Engineering Manual
1MRS757642 A Section 7
IEC 61850 communication engineering

The data set for GOOSE can contain signals only on the
data attribute level.

3.3. Configure additional Report Control Blocks when needed for each
data set used for vertical communication.
3.4. Link the IED clients to the Report Control Blocks.

Up to five report clients can be configured.

4. Conduct horizontal communication engineering.

4.1. Configure GOOSE control blocks for each data set configured for
GOOSE messages.

One data can be included in the GOOSE data set only once.

4.2. Define the client IEDs for each GOOSE control block.
4.3. Link the IEDs to the GOOSE control block that is to receive the
GOOSE control block.
5. Export the updated SCD file. [1]

All data sets, Report Control Blocks and GOOSE control

blocks must be located in LLN0.

7.3.3 Importing SCL files to PCM600

The IED engineering tool must be able to receive a SCD file or an ICD file as an
import to receive the engineered communication extensions, for example, for the
different IEDs.

7.3.3.1 Importing SCD files

1. Select the station in the Plant Structure view.

2. Right-click the station and select Import.
3. From the open standard Windows menu, select the file to be imported and

• Ignore Substation Section does not import the SSD file part of the
SCD file.
4. Click Import when the definition has been completed.
A progress view displays the importing procedure.

7.3.4 Writing communication configuration to the IED

IEC 61850 communication depends on the proper communication configuration in
all IEDs that communicate via IEC 61850.

It is possible to make a configuration change in one IED, without affecting the

communication engineering. For example, when the Application Configuration tool
configuration is changed, but no changes are done to the instantiation or deletion of
functions that represent a logical node.

When a changed configuration is written to the IED, you are asked to update the
communication configuration.
