2.1 Introduction SEMOD58253-4 v11

The structure of a monitoring and control system for electrical substations has a principle structure as
shown in Figure 2. It contains a number of IEDs for the various purposes.

It can be subdivided in the four main parts:

• Bay level IEDs

• Station communication
• Station level IEDs
• Process bus level

Figure 2: Principle structure of a monitoring and control system for a substation

IEC08000101-2-en.vsdx

All three parts require specific engineering and configuration. PCM600 is used to do the complete
engineering and configuration activities needed for bay level IEDs.

Each IED type and version has its own connectivity package module used in PCM600.

PCM600 communicates with the bay IEDs via an Ethernet connection. The connection allows to
reading and writing all configuration data needed for proper operation from or to the IED. The IEDs
have communication interfaces for protocols and media used for station communication. IEC 61850
communication files for a bay IED or a complete station can be exported from PCM600 to station
engineering tools for engineering of station communication between bay IEDs and station IEDs.

A PC with PCM600 can be connected to any IED on the station bus using the Ethernet connection.

The Ethernet connection can then later also be used for service and maintenance purposes. The
connection is also used to handle disturbance records in COMTRADE format from IEDs using the IEC
61850 file transfer or FTP.

The IEDs of today are designed on the concept of the IEC 61850 standard. This is mainly given for
the organization of functions represented by an equivalent logical node in the IEC 61850 standard. The

mapping between the logical node data model in the IED, following the structure and rules in part 7
of the IEC 61850 standard, and the function blocks in an IED configuration is given in the IEC 61850
communication protocol manual.

The same IEC 61850–based concept is also used for the DNP3 protocol. The signals used or delivered
by a function block are automatically generated and available for station communication. This concept
allows a very efficient time saving signal engineering.

The engineering of the used communication protocols is a separate task and an addition to the
engineering of control functions.

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

The applications can be organized in:

• IED product engineering

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

This manual is valid for PCM600 supporting the Relion 670/650 series product ver.2.2.

2.2 IED engineering process SEMOD58260-4 v15

PCM600 is used for various tasks in the IED engineering process. See Figure 3:

• IED engineering management

• Organizing the bay IEDs in the structure of the substation by defining voltage levels and bays below
the substation. A PCM600 project can have only one substation.
• Configuring Ethernet ports, Routes and Merging units using the Ethernet configuration tool.
• Configuring the IED functions (for example protection and control functions and LHMI functions) by
using the Application Configuration tool.
• Configuring the parameters and setting values for the IED itself and for the process functionality by
using the Parameter Setting tool.
• Drawing single line diagrams and do the link to dynamic process values by using the Graphical
Display Editor tool. The single line diagrams are shown on the 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 or the Application Configuration tool.

• Communication engineering
• IEC 61850 station communication engineering can be done in two ways, with a separate tool,
IET600 or with the PCM600 built in IEC 61850 configuration tool. PCM600 interacts with IET600 by
importing and exporting SCL files. The built in tool can be used for small projects including Hitachi
Energy IEDs only. To engineer communication between Hitachi Energy IED's and third party devices
it's recommended to use IET600.
• Organizing GOOSE messages received is done by using the Signal Matrix tool.
• Communication engineering for the DNP3 protocol by using the Communication Management tool.

• Disturbance record management

Engineering tool set

• Generating overviews about the available (disturbance) recordings in all connected protection IEDs
by using the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Manually reading the recording files (in COMTRADE format) from the IEDs by using the Disturbance
Handling tool or automatically by using the PCM600 scheduler.
• Managing recording files with the assistance of the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Creating overview reports of recording file content for fast evaluation with assistance of the
Disturbance Handling tool.

• Service management
• Monitoring selected signals of an IED for commissioning or service purposes by using the Signal
Monitoring tool.
• Listing all actual existing IED internal events by using the Event Viewer tool.
• Listing all actual pending process events as they are stored in the IED internal disturbance report
event list by using the Event Viewer tool.

Additional functionality to manage the project and to organize the user rights:

• PCM600 user management

• Organizing users with their rights, profile and password to use the different tools and activities within
the tools.
• Defining allowed activities for the user profiles to use tools in PCM600.

• IED user management

Engineering tool set

• Organizing users with their rights, profile and password to read and write files of the IED. See the
Cyber security deployment guideline for more information.
• Defining allowed activities for the user profiles to use the read and write function.

• Central account management

• Configuration of the central account server, deployment and management of IED certificates. See
the Cyber security deployment guideline for more information.
• Defining allowed activities for the user profiles to use the read and write function.

Once the engineering of the IED is done, the results must be written to the IED. Conversely some parts
of the engineering information can be uploaded from the IED for various purposes.

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

The IP addresses of the different ports on the IED are not allowed to belong to the same
subnet.

Engineering process

• Build the plant structure according to the substation structure.

For performance reasons, do not insert more than 40 IEDs in one PCM600 project. Larger
projects can be divided into several PCM600 projects.

• Insert an IED in plant structure which can be done in many ways. By inserting the IED in online
mode where the configuration is read from the physical IED, by inserting an IED in offline mode, by
importing a *.pcmi file or by selecting an IED template from the template library (*.pcmt).
• Rename the IED objects in PCM600 to the projects definitions.
• Set the IEC 61850 technical key (or use the default one from PCM600).

• ECT Ethernet configuration

• Configure the access points, routes and merging units

• Check and adjust if needed the setting values for example for:
• Operation of the access points
• Redundant communication on the access points
• Route for communication of devices in different subnetworks
• Operation of merging unit receivers.

• ACT Application configuration

• Save the configuration made with ACT to make the interfaces and signals available for other
engineering tools within PCM600, for example for PST.

• PST Parameter setting and configuration

• Check the configuration parameters of the physical IED for communication channels, for example,
CT and VT conversion values of the transformer module.
• Check and adjust the setting values if needed for example for:
• Presentation parameters for local HMI.
• Settings for control functions.
• Number of setting groups.

• GDE Single line diagram configuration

• Create a single line diagram.
• Include measurements when needed.
• Link the dynamic elements to functions created in ACT, for example a breaker object to the switch
function.

• Local HMI engineering

• Include and engineer the function blocks for LHMI element groups with ACT and SMT.
• Define the LED behavior with PST.
• Configure the LEDs with ACT and SMT.

• Communication protocol engineering

Setting up a project

Section 4 Setting up a project

4.1 PCM600 projects SEMOD58401-5 v3

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.

4.2 Installing Connectivity packages GUID-0863CF81-30F7-468C-957D-61E99CD5010D v10

A Connectivity package contains the complete description of the IED data signals, parameters and
protocol addresses for a certain IED type and version. Several types of IEDs can be managed in
one PCM600 project, thus the corresponding Connectivity package has to be installed on the PC.
Connectivity Packages and Connectivity Package Updates are managed in the Update Manager.

PCM600 must be installed before the connectivity packages can be installed.

PCM600 version 2.10 or newer must be used with the 2.2 version of the IED. The
Connectivity package used with PCM600 2.10 and the 2.2 version of the IED must be of
version 3.4.0.0.

A Connectivity package for a specific IED type and version is divided in two parts. The IED Connectivity
package base module is common for all IEDs. The IED specific module is separate for each type of IED.

Installing the IED Connectivity package

The Connectivity package is available on the media that was distributed along with the IED. The user
manuals for all IEDs are contained in a separate installation package Relion 670 v.2.2 series User
Documentation. This package must be installed to access manuals for a specific IED type in PCM600.

Procedure

1. Close PCM600 before running the IED connectivity package installation.

2. Install the IED series Connectivity package base.
3. Select and install the IED modules as required.
4. Install the documentation.

Installing 670 2.1.5 (or lower) version of the Connectivity package on top of the 670 3.4.0.0
Connectivity package will corrupt the Connectivity package installation. To work around this,
uninstall all the Connectivity packages (starting from the lowest version first), and then
install the 670 3.4.0.0 Connectivity package freshly again. Because of parallel Connectivity
package support, 670 3.4.0.0 Connectivity package will background install 670 3.3.0.0, 670
3.2.6.0, 670 3.1.2.0, 670 3.0.2.0, 670 2.1.6 and 670 2.1.5 Connectivity packages.

4.3 Setting technical key GUID-6E273043-7AC6-4262-9522-ED24D8E31E93 v9

Both IED and an IED object in PCM600 have a technical key. The purpose of the technical key is to
prevent writing a configuration to wrong IED. The technical key in the IED and PCM600 must be the
same, otherwise it is not possible to write a configuration. Each IED in a PCM600 project must have a

670 series 31
Engineering manual

Section 4 1MRK511398-UEN Rev. N
Setting up a project

unique technical key. It is therefore not possible to set the same technical key for several IEDs in the
same PCM600 project.

For details on technical key settings, see Naming conventions for IEC 61850

The technical key property in PCM600 corresponds to the IED name attribute in SCL files.
Avoid changing the IED name attribute outside PCM600, because data in PCM600 might be
lost when importing SCL files.

When using PCM600 for writing to the IED, it is important that the LHMI is not in a position
where settings can be made. Only one active transaction, from LHMI or PCM600, is allowed
at any one time.

When writing a configuration to the IED, PCM600 checks if the technical key matches between the
IED object in PCM600 and the physical IED. For communication between the IED and PCM600, the
technical key must be the same. Users have the option to read the technical key from the IED and
update it to PCM600 or write the PCM600 technical key to the IED. The user can also define an own
technical key. The error message displayed due to mismatch between PCM600 and IED technical key is
shown in Figure 5.

IEC09000378-2-en.vsd
IEC09000378 V2 EN-US

Figure 5: Error message due to mismatch between PCM600 and IED technical key

Be sure that the IED object in PCM600 has the same IP address as the physical IED, which
is intended to be connected.

The technical key for an IED object in PCM600 can also be changed in the Object properties
window.

1. Select the IED in the Plant Structure.

2. Right-click and select Set Technical Key, see Figure 6.

• use the existing technical key in the IED

• use the existing technical key defined for the IED object in PCM600 or
• set a user defined technical key, which changes the technical key for both the physical IED and
IED object in PCM600.

The maximum technical key length is 25 characters for IEC 61850 Edition 1 and 55
characters for IEC 61850 Edition 2.

4. Click OK to confirm the selection.

It is not possible to set a user defined name or select the Technical key in IED if the value is the
same as already given to another IED object in the PCM600 project. A dialog window opens if this is
the case.

4.4 Setting up communication between PCM600 and the IED SEMOD58570-5 v16

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

4.4.1 When IED has blank front panel GUID-8BBF8B90-8E20-428D-82EE-18F36D5C8054 v1

IED with blank front panel will not have front port. Instead in the IED's AP1 will be turned on which will
have the default IP address 192.168.1.10 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. If the user wants to change
the default IP address, use RIA600 or PCM600.

DHCP is not available on this port.

4.4.2 When IED has front port with RJ-45 GUID-9EE3E4F1-1BD8-49D3-9221-A43D7F8A99AD v1

The communication media is always Ethernet and the used transport layer is TCP/IP.

Each IED has an RJ-45 Ethernet interface connector on the front. The front Ethernet connector is
recommended to be used for communication with PCM600.

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

To connect PCM600 to the IED, two basic variants must be considered.

• Direct point-to-point link between PCM600 and the IED front port. The front port can be seen as a
service port.
• A link via a station LAN or from remote via a network.

The physical connection and the IP address must be configured in both cases to enable communication.

The communication procedures are the same in both cases.

1MRK511398-UEN Rev. N Section 4
Setting up a project

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

2. Set up the PC or workstation for a direct link (point-to-point), or
3. Connect the PC or workstation to the LAN/WAN network.
4. Configure the IED IP addresses in the PCM600 project for each IED to match the IP addresses of
the physical IEDs.

Setting up IP addresses
Communication between the IED and PCM600 is enabled from the LHMI. The IP address and the
corresponding communication subnetwork mask must be set via the Ethernet configuration tool (ECT)
for each available Ethernet interface in the IED. Each Ethernet interface has a default factory IP address
when the IED is delivered. The IP adress and the subnetwork mask might have to be reset when an
additional Ethernet interface is installed or an interface is replaced.

DHCP is available for the front port, and a device connected to it can thereby obtain an automatically
assigned IP address via the local HMI path Main menu/ Configuration/ Communication/ Ethernet
configuration/ Front port/ DHCP.

Alternatively the default IP address for the IED front port is 10.1.150.3 and the corresponding
subnetwork mask is 255.255.255.0, which can be set via the local HMI path Main menu/ Configuration/
Communication/ TCP-IP configuration/ ETHFRNT:1Main menu/ Configuration/ Communication/
Ethernet configuration/ AP_FRONT.

Setting up the PC or workstation for point-to-point access to IEDs front port

An ethernet cable (max 2 m length) with RJ-45 connectors is needed to connect two physical Ethernet
interfaces together without a hub, router, bridge or switch in between.

If an IED is equipped with optical LC interface, a converter between RJ-45 and LC is needed.

6. PCM600 sets up a new project that will be listed under Projects on my computer.

4.6 Building a plant structure SEMOD58409-5 v7

The plant structure is used to identify each IED in its location within the substation organization. It is
a geographical 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.

Build up the plant structure according to the project requirements. PCM600 offers several levels to build
the hierarchical order from Center down to the IEDs in a bay.

The following levels are available:

1. Project = project name

2. Substation = name of the substation
3. Voltage Level = voltage level in substation
4. Bay = bay within the voltage level
5. IED = IED in the bay.

IEC09000710 V4 EN-US

Figure 14: PCM600: Set up a plant structure

Once a plant structure is built, the name of each level in the structure should be renamed by the names/
identifications used in the grid. Use the right mouse button to build the plant structure by selecting the
elements from the context menu. Rename the level after insertion using the Rename possibility or the
Object Properties. Figure14 shows the start of a project with two IEDs placed but still not renamed.

The plant structure corresponds to the complete grid including the needed IEDs.

Procedure to build a plant structure:

• Right-click on the plant structure, select New and Create from Template ..., or
• Right-click on the plant structure, select New, General and select either IED Group or Substation.
• Click View in the menu bar and select Object Types. Select the needed elements and drag and drop
them into the plant structure. Close the window if it does not close automatically.

4.6.1 IEC 61850 naming conventions to identify an IED SEMOD58409-38 v10

This section is 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 designation in
the object properties.

• A technical key is used on engineering drawings and for signal identifications. The technical key is
used within SCL for referencing other objects. Observe that name is a relative identification within a
hierarchy of objects. The maximum number of characters allowed for a technical key is 25 for Edition 1
and 55 for Edition 2.
• A user-oriented textual designation is contained in the attribute desc. Attributes cannot contain
carriage return, line feed or tab characters. The semantics of desc must also be relative within an
object hierarchy.

PCM600 takes care of these two possibilities. The two possible signal designations are available per
object in the object properties for all 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 done for substations by a technical committee. The technical key is shown
in the Object Properties under SCL Technical Key or Technical Key.

Setting up a project

• The station level is predefined by "AA1", where 1 is the index.

• The voltage level is predefined by "J1", where 1 is the index.
• The bay level is predefined by "Q01", where 01 is the index.
• The IED is predefined by "A1", where 1 is the index.

The predefined full path name of the technical key for the IED would be AA1J1Q01A1.

For all practical engineering purposes (both towards the IED and towards the 61850 engineering
process), the user should keep the default SCL technical key. However, it is possible, for example
due to company naming policies, to rename the SCL technical key for the station level, voltage level, bay
level and IED level using the Object properties window as shown in Figure 15.

• The station level has been renamed as "DMSTAT"

• The voltage level has been renamed as "C1"
• The bay level has been renamed as "Q1"
• The IED has been renamed as "SB1"

The renamed full path name of the technical key for the IED would be DMSTATC1Q1SB1.

The context menu or the Object Types view shows the available IEDs possible to insert on the bay level
in the plant structure according to the installed connectivity package.

On the bay level in the plant structure it is possible to:

• Insert an IED in Online mode or in Offline mode :

• 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

Setting up a project

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.

The green check mark (as shown in Figure 16) indicates that communication between the IED
object in PCM600 and the physical IED is established.

physical IED.

Inserting an IED from the template library

An IED in the plant structure can be exported as a template (*.pcmt). The user can build up a template
library with all the exported IED templates. It is possible to insert an IED from the template library to
create a new IED in the plant structure. Change the IP address and the name that corresponds to the
physical IED after a template IED has been imported.

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

Procedure to insert a template IED

1. Right-click the Bay in the plant structure.

Section 5 Ethernet configuration tool

5.1 Introduction GUID-27895183-D8EC-48B1-8B42-6C3B469AE67B v2

The Ethernet configuration tool (ECT) is a configuration tool that provides the possibility to configure
Access points, Merging units and Routes in a single place. The tool increases security and easy of
use as it offers an overview of all configurations related to Ethernet communication, such as operation,
IP addresses, redundant communications and which protocols allowed to run on the individual access
points.

ECT validates the values entered for the IP-adress and the default gateway in the Access point-tab as
well as the settings in the Merging unit-tab. For more information refer to the Application manual.

5.1.1 User interface GUID-7931FEA9-DDFE-46D8-8651-701C3612CBDB v6

Access points
The Ethernet configuration tool consists of one tab for access point, one for merging unit and one for
routing. The changes done during the session will be bolded until the tool is closed.

The protocols cannot be activated or deactivated from ECT, the tool only controls which
protocols are allowed to run on the access point. For information on how to activate or
deactivate the communication protocols, see the communication protocol manuals or cyber
security deployment guideline.

To configure the access points and merging units in offline mode, first hardware configuration should be
selected in Hardware Configuration Tool (HWT). In online mode all available access points and merging
units will appear in ECT.

IEC16000089-1-en.vsdx
IEC16000089 V1 EN-US

Figure 29: Access point tab

This tab allows configuration of the access points, model access points in SCL, filter the protocols to be
sent over each access point, and configure time synchronization for each access points. Each row in this
tab corresponds to an access point. Access point 1 is the default access point and will be included in the
SCL model by default. Changing settings in this tab will have impact on the SCL model.

The PTP VLAN tag is only valid for PTP time synchronization and it must have the same value in station
clock and in the IED. The default value is set to 0.

Columns in this tab will vary based on IED capability and order-specification.

LSVS subscription and configuration

LSVS reports the status of sampled value communication to a client according to IEC 61850.

There should be one instance of LSVS in an IED for each sampled value data stream that the IED
receives. Each LSVS reports the status of one receiving sampled value data stream.

The attributes St and SimSt are supported as well as the setting SvCBRef, according to IEC 61850-7-4
Ed. 2.0.

LSVS is not defined in IEC 61850 Ed. 1 and is only supported in Ed. 2 mode.

The configuration of LSVS is done automatically when the receiving of sampled data is defined in the
IED.

This configuration is done in ECT and there it is a column to fill in the SvCBRef. This field is used
to identify the sampled value stream that is supervised and should, according to IEC 61850, be set
to the IED and control block name of the sending IED. However, this is not used to configure the
communication and can be set to any string. The string is limited to 39 characters and to a character
string without tabs, line feeds and carriage return, restricted to 8-bit characters (UTF-8 single byte
coding,ISO/IEC 8859-1).

Configuration through SCL import is not supported.

6.1 Creating an application configuration with ACT

6.1.1 Overview GUID-E9990B51-52BA-434C-8BC4-2418EA56B31B v10

ACT is used to create the application configuration for an IED. The application configuration is built up
with function blocks.

Function blocks are dedicated for different functionality, for example:

• Control related functions

• Monitoring functions
• Communication

For detailed information about function blocks see the technical manual and the application
manual.

Some function blocks are mapped as logical nodes according to the IEC 61850 standard. Other function
blocks are not mapped as logical nodes, for example:

• Logical gates
• Timers

The basic general features of the Application configuration tool ACT:

• Organization of an application configuration

• Organize an application configuration into a number of logical parts (MainApplication).
• Organize a MainApplication over a number of pages.

• Features to program an application configuration:

• Insert function blocks, make connections and create variables.
• Include the hardware IO channels directly in the application configuration.
• Set function blocks and signal visibility to SMT and PST.

SMT is not supporting signals of integer type or group signals. So, even if these types of
signals are set as visible for SMT, they will not be shown in SMT.

• Document the application configuration, for example to make printouts.

• Test the application configuration online.

• Save application configurations as templates in an application library to reuse them in other IEDs.
• 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.

6.1.2 Function blocks GUID-2303AD45-1FFA-465F-8CA5-C59541535903 v7

• Function blocks are the main elements of an application configuration. They are designed for a various
number of functions and organized in type groups. The different function block types are shown in the
Object Types View. Figure 34 presents an overview of the main parts that are relevant for function
blocks.
• Set user defined names for function blocks and signals marked with blue text.

Signals that have a user defined name created in ACT, will only be visible in PST if the IED
configuration is written to the IED and read back to PCM600. Otherwise the default signal name
is shown in PST.

Do not use other characters than a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ when setting user defined names for
signals and function blocks, since other characters might not display properly in local HMI. Also
avoid using space character.

The maximum user defined name length or size is 16 characters or 39 bytes and the user
defined name will be truncated to the corresponding limit if any of the limit gets exceeded.

• Set IEC or/and ANSI naming style.

• Lock function blocks.
• Set visibility for execution order, cycle time and instance number.
• Manage signals, for example hide, show and rearrange.
• Invert Boolean inputs and Boolean outputs.

Mandatory signals must be connected.

For RED670/REG670/RET670, remote current received through LDCM must be connected

only to 1ms pre-processing SMAI block. Consequently, the same 1ms pre-processing
block used for differential protection must be used for connecting remote currents to the
disturbance recorder. The 3ms or 8ms pre-processing SMAI blocks must not be connected to
the remote currents.

In all other 670 products, LDCM is preferably intended to be used in binary mode. However,
in case the LDCM module is used in the analog mode, then the only available pre-processing
SMAI blocks will be either in 3ms or 8ms cycle. Connecting the remote currents to either
of these two types of SMAI blocks might impact the performance of protection functions.
Namely, all functions that are running in the same cycle as the used processing SMAI block
for the remote currents may experience extra time delays in the operation due to the impact
of LDCM buffering and transmission delays. Thus, the application of LDCM in analog mode
in other products than RED670 shall be used with caution.

6.1.3 Signals and signal management GUID-E0D11B1F-F289-4A28-B289-168795818D53 v7

A function block has set of input and output signals.

A function block can contain more signals than needed in that application part. A signal that is not used
in a particular application is possible to hide in the function block view in ACT. It is not necessary to
connect all inputs and outputs at a function block. If not connected, the signals always have a default
value. The default value can be seen when hove over the signal with the mouse.

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

1MRK511398-UEN Rev. N Section 6
Protection and control engineering

Boolean input and output signals may need to be inverted to fulfill the logic. ACT supports to add the
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. Similar, 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.

Even though current is injected to the IED and the IED is connected to PCM600 in online
mode, the signal value in ACT is shown as zero.

All non-mandatory input signals have a default value that will be used when not connected.

6.1.4 Conditional blocking functionality GUID-37C7609A-D9CD-435F-BBEE-7518B88BEEDF v1

Functions can be blocked by loss of analog data, for example if a IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE source
malfunctions. Figure 35 shows an example where MU1 malfunctions, and all function blocks connected
to that 3-phase group get blocked as a result, this is also known as conditional blocking functionality.

• Execution Order
• Cycle Time
• Instance Number

Each time a new function block is selected, one or more of these parameters become available for
selection from the drop down lists in ACT depending on the function block type. The Cycle Time may be
predefined to one value with certain functions. The Instance Number is a counter for the total possible
number of function blocks of that type used within an application configuration.

Execution Order and Instance Number are given in the list as a selectable pair predefined within a
product.Figure 36 shows an example how the drop down list could look like.

IEC09000720 V3 EN-US

Figure 36: ACT: function block organization parameters

A minus sign in front of the cycle time, for example -200ms, indicates that the application is
time driven, otherwise the application is analog data driven. Analog data driven applications
require sample values from Analog input modules - in case the physical module is broken,
applications are not executed. Time driven applications are executed periodically regardless
of the status of the analog signal processing.

The Cycle Time can be selected to different values for certain functions. Depending on the function
block and IED type, one or more possibilities may be available.

The combination Execution Order, Instance Number is predefined by Hitachi Energy. Mainly for basic
logic function blocks like for example AND, OR, a set of combinations spread over the full range of
execution orders is available. This gives the possibility to select a combination which fits to the execution
order range needed in that application part.

Application configuration cycle time and execution order organization

The application execution within the IEDs is organized in different classes, see Figure 37.

in ACT, see Figure 41. The connection is also represented in SMT with a cross mark. Hardware
channels are always visible in SMT.

Supported hardware channels are:

• Binary input channels

• Binary output channels
• Analog input channels

A hardware input channel can be used as often as it is needed. A hardware binary output channel is
taken from the list of available channels when a new channel is requested. That prevents for using a
hardware binary output channel twice. As an example, see Figure 41.

6.1.9 Validation GUID-7407C36C-15EB-4987-AF29-5DCEFB95A613 v4

Validation checks the application configuration on errors about the rules and restrictions defined for
doing a MainApplication on three levels.

• During creating the logic while doing a connection or placing a function block.
• On demand by starting the validation.
• When writing the application configuration into the IED.

Validation when creating the application configuration

Validation is made when creating the application configuration, for example:

72 670 series
Engineering manual

1MRK511398-UEN Rev. N Section 6
Protection and control engineering

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

Validation on demand
To check the validity of an application configuration, click the 'Validate Configuration' icon in the toolbar.
ACT will check the application configuration for formal correctness. Found problems are qualified in:

• Warnings, marked by a yellow warning icon

• Example: A variable connected to an output signal that is not connected.
• Example: If the user connects output from higher execution order function to inputs of lower
execution order function.

• Errors, marked by a red circle with a cross

• Example: A mandatory input signal that is not connected.

These warnings can be accepted to avoid checking the warnings every time the application
is validated.

Warnings will not prevent writing to the IED. Errors have to be corrected before writing the application
configuration to the IED. An application configuration can be saved and ACT can be closed with open
errors, but not written to the IED, see Figure 42.

These problems are listed in the Output View under the Tab Application Configuration. A double-click
in the error or warning row will navigate to the MainApplication>Page>Area where the problems are
identified.

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 will abort the writing.

6.2 Setting configuration and setting parameters in PST

SEMOD58493-4 v9

Configuration parameters and settings parameters are changeable either from LHMI or from PST in
PCM600.

Note that the some parameters are only visible in PST and some are only visible on LHMI.

A write from PCM600 to the IED, where parameters are changed in PST, will overwrite any
parameter changes made locally from LHMI unless a read from the IED was performed prior
to changing any parameters in PCM600.

To export parameters from PST, both XRIO and CSV formats are supported.

All variables listed and shown in the parameter list can be sorted into two groups:

• Configuration parameter or
• Setting parameter

Configuration parameter
A configuration parameter specifies an operation mode of an application function or of the IED. These
are basic configurations, which are normally configured only once and then settled. The IED configures
itself at start-up according to the given configuration parameter values.

Setting parameter
A setting parameter (short form only “setting”) is a parameter that take immediate effect when changed.

Setting group
Up to six setting groups can be configured with different values. The IED supports the selection of a
setting group at runtime.

IED parameters organization

The organization of the parameters in a tree structure is visible in the plant structure by expanding
the setting tree. For each function, the parameters are organized in basic and advanced groups. The
advanced settings are used for application optimization.

During a write both the basic and advanced settings are written to the IED.

6.2.1 Graphical Parameter Setting Tool GUID-C726930D-D55E-4426-A14F-F4E6C7F6131C v2

The Graphical Parameter Setting tool (GPST) is a tool in PCM600 that is used to present parameter
settings in a graphical user interface. GPST is a part of the Parameter Setting tool (PST), the settings
are done in PST and can be presented in GPST.

GPST is available for distance protection functions:

A function block output can be connected to one or several binary output channels, see Figure 46. A
binary output channel can only be activated from one function block output, if it should be activated from
more than one function block output, glue logic has to be used. Glue logic means inserting a logical
gate (OR and AND blocks) between the function blocks and the binary output channel. This can be
engineered in SMT.

Application Configuration tool and local HMI function blocks

See the Technical Manual for more information on function blocks.

The LHMI provides a set of special function blocks to be utilized in the Application Configuration tool:

• LHMICTRL
• FNKEYMD1 to FNKEYMD5
• LEDGEN
• GRP1_LED1 to GRP1_LED15
• GRP2_LED1 to GRP2_LED15
• GRP3_LED1 to GRP3_LED15

The function blocks for the LEDs are organized in function blocks per LED. They can be placed close to
the logic where the information per LED is built in the Application Configuration tool.

Figure 48 describes the basic LHMI and the operation element groups. These are the 15 LEDs and their
belonging text elements on the LCD [A]. They are operated by keys [a] and [b].

The other group is the five function keys with their LEDs and the corresponding text elements on the
LCD [B].

Function block LEDGEN

• Handles an external acknowledge signal as source to acknowledge the LEDs.

• Generates an additional pulse for general purposes whenever the LEDs are acknowledged by the
operator.
• Generates a pulse whenever a new LED signal occurs. It may be used to trigger an acoustical alarm.
• Handles timers tReset and tMax for the LED operation mode 'LatchedReset-S'.

Function block GRP1_LED1 to GRP3_LED15

• The 15 LEDs on the right side of the LCD can indicate in total 45 alarms, warnings or other signals to
the operator. They are organized in three groups 1 to 3.
• Each signal group belongs to one function block.
• Each LED illuminates in one of the three colors: RED, YELLOW or GREEN.
• The organization of flashing, acknowledgment and group selection is done directly between the
function blocks and the basic LHMI keys, the 'Multifunction' key [a] to toggle between the three groups
or the 'Clear' key [b] to acknowledge or reset the LEDs.
• Only the programming of the signals is needed for the LEDs.
• The operation mode of the LEDs is defined in the Parameter Setting tool.

• Every function key has its own FNKEYMD function block.

• The 5 function keys on the left side of the LCD [B] can be used to process demands.
• The function block handles the signal for the LED included in the key as input signals.
• The LED signal of the key is independent of the key function and must be programed to process
demands.
• The function block handles the operators command when the key is pressed as output signal.
• The functions are activated whenever a key is pressed for the first time. The corresponding text
elements for the five keys appear on the left side of the LCD. No execution of the function is done. So
the first push is used to activate the presentation only.
• The next key push is handled as activate function and the output signal of the function block is set.
• The operation mode of the function key is defined in the Parameter Setting tool (pulse, toggle).

Parameter Setting tool and function block configuration

The operation mode of the function keys and the LEDs must be defined per key and LED in the
Parameter Setting tool.

The function key can operate as:

• Pulsed signal
• Each push forces a pulse of a configured time.
• The pulse time can be set in the Parameter Setting tool.
• The default pulse time is 200 ms.

• Toggle signal
• Each push changes the state of the signal: OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF...
• The default position after power up or reset is OFF.

• Menu shortcut
• When pressing a key configured for that purpose, the function key panel is hidden and the LHMI
opens directly in the configured menu.

• Each LED can illuminate in one of three colors: RED, YELLOW, GREEN.
• Only one color is illuminated at a time.
• The priority for illumination and the color is linked.
• Prio 1 = RED
• Prio 2 = YELLOW
• Prio 3 = GREEN
• When RED and YELLOW are ON at the same time, the LED will illuminate in RED.

• The operator's acknowledgement for the LED signals is done for all three signals (RED, YELLOW,
GREEN) of the LED.
• A reset of the LEDs operates also on all three signals of the LEDs.

• Follow-S
• The LED illumination follows the status of the signal. The LED illuminates steady (S).

• Follow-F
• The LED illumination follows the status of the signal. The LED illuminates flashing (F).

• LatchedAck-F-S
• The LED latches the signal change OFF-ON and flashes (F) until it is acknowledged.
• When the signal is still ON at the time the signal is acknowledged, the LED changes to steady (S)
mode.
• When the signal has already changed to OFF before the time it is acknowledged, the LED turns to
OFF.

• LatchedAck-S-F
• The same as LatchedAck-F-S but the LED starts with steady state and flashes after
acknowledgment.

• LatchedColl-S
• The LED illuminates in all cases in steady mode only
• The LED latches a signal change from OFF-ON until it is acknowledged by the operator.
• The LED stays in steady mode when it is reset and the signal is still in ON state.
• The LED is OFF only after the signal has changed to OFF state AND it is reset by the operator via
'Clear' operation.

• LatchedReset-S
• This mode is used for all LEDs that are used to indicate a disturbance. The LEDs will stay in the last
state after the disturbance run time until they are reset after a defined time.
• The timers are set in the Parameter Setting tool in the function block LEDGEN.

In the Follow-F mode, the LED starts flashing when receiving a steady binary On signal. At other times it
is unlit. See Figure 52. This mode may be used to indicate that a tap changer or Petersen coil is moving.

LED operation mode LatchedAck-F-S

IEC08000397 V2 EN-US

Figure 53: LHMI: LED operation mode LatchedAck-F-S / Base

The LatchedAck-F-S mode is used to indicate unconfirmed alarms or warnings. On a binary On signal
(steady or pulse), the LED enters a flashing state. If acknowledged and if the signal is still On, the LED
transitions into a steady state. If the signal at this point is Off, the LED is switched off (for this color). See
Figure 53 for details.

Each LED has one binary input for each of the colors: red, yellow and green representing high, medium
and low priority respectively. Each priority also applies to the presentation of the state (acknowledged
or unacknowledged) of each color. Excluding Off signals, the presentation of a state of higher priority
always overrides the presentation of any state of lower priority.

The LatchedAck-S-F mode operates in a similar manner as the LatchedAck-F-S mode. However, on
receiving a binary On signal, the LED enters a steady lit state. When acknowledged and the signal

Figure 56: LHMI: LED operation mode LatchedColl-S

A LED operating in the LatchedColl-S mode enters a steady lit state on receiving a binary On signal. The
LED remains lit even if the signal immediately transitions to Off (pulse). When acknowledged, the LED is
switched off, unless the attached signal remains On. See Figure 56 for details.

LED operation mode LatchedReset-S

IEC08000400 V2 EN-US

Figure 57: LHMI: LED operation mode LatchedReset-S

The LatchedReset-S mode is designed for multi-signal disturbance monitoring. For this reason, the
General LED indication function block (LEDGEN) has two parameters: tRestart and tMax. Both are
timers used to determine the end of a disturbance window.

A disturbance window starts when a LED receives a binary On signal. The LED then enters a steady
lit state. At the point where all signals, related to the LEDs in this particular mode, are Off, the timer
tRestart is triggered. This timer is common for all LEDs and when it elapses, the disturbance window
ends.

The second timer, tMax, starts whenever a LED is lit. If there are no activities until tMax elapses,
tRestart is triggered. This means that the disturbance window eventually ends even if a signal remains
On for a long time. See Figure 57.

Procedure

1. Start GDE to open a presentation of the tool.

2. GDE has a object type library window on the left side of the display.
3. The presentation is empty when no page exists for the IED.

Display window and sequence order

It is important to link correctly between the HMI display page and the corresponding bay that
is presented as a single line diagram on this HMI page.

Rules to handle HMI pages:

• Several single line diagrams can be created for one bay.

• The IED supports one bay.
• The sequence order of the HMI pages in the Graphical Display Editor starts from left to right.
• Measurements and the single line diagram can be shown on the page in any possible order and
placement.
• All symbol objects, for example apparatus, text and measurement, on the HMI page must be linked
to the correct function block in the application configuration in order to present the correct process
values.

Object types
The Graphical Display Editor window contains some panes that include drawing symbols or elements to
create a single line diagram, measurements and texts on a page. Click on the name bar of the selected
element to open the pane.

670 series 89
Engineering manual
© 2017 - 2024 Hitachi Energy. All rights reserved
Section 7 1MRK511398-UEN Rev. N
Local HMI engineering

The object types shows the symbols either in ANSI standard or in IEC standard. The standard is
selected by the drop down list box located on top of the display window.

When changing to the other symbol standard, GDE closes the object type window, changes the symbols
according to the selected new standard and redraws the single line diagram in the display window.

Select the different panes and their symbols to become familiar with the available symbols.

Measurements (Measurands) are presented in one format that explains itself when selected. Select the
format and drop it in the drawing area. Use the object properties to make adaptations.

Special symbols for dynamic text

In the text pane the object types contains a set of special symbols to present text that depends on the
status of variables. A set of three symbols is either valid for a double bit information or for a list of up to
32 different inputs. The corresponding function blocks in ACT are of type xxxGAPC.

• Dynamic Text or Indication button is used when a position shall be monitored on single line diagram,
Figure 60
• Select Button is used when the functions shall be manoeuvred from a single line diagram.

Figure 60: GDE: Dynamic Text symbols

The standard (IEC or ANSI) for the symbols and the selection of the font size for the text elements can
be changed using the icons and drop down on top of the page window.

HMI display raster layout and text font selection

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

The text can be presented in two different font sizes:

• UniCode characters (6 x 12 pixels)

• UniCode characters (13 x 14 pixels)

The total size of the presented white area (page) represents the visible part of the local HMI display
without header and foot-line.

The visible display for a single line diagram is organized in a raster of 13 x 8 (columns x rows). Each
symbol presented by 24 x 24 pixels included by the drag and drop method must be dropped in a raster
box. The apparatus object name can be placed in all four directions around the symbol. The name is
part of the apparatus object.

Handling text
The raster switches when text is selected in a raster of 45 x 15 (columns x rows). One raster box is the
placeholder for one character. A text element must be placed in the position of the raster. The signal
name can changed either by double click or via the property window. Unit and scaling of the signal can
only be changed via the property window.

Select and toggle Show Texts using the IED Fonts to get a view how it will look like later on the real HMI
display.

Doing Link to draw lines

The line width has to fit to the line width used for the symbols. The standard size is 2. Choose the line
width in a selection box placed in the upper area above the page. A line that is not connected to a
symbol may be done in any line width in the range 1 - 5. But it needs to be simple connection points to
be drawn.

For the procedure to draw lines when the apparatus symbols are placed, see Figure 61.

1. Place the apparatus or transformer symbols by drag and drop in a raster box.
2. Place the connections symbols by drag and drop in a raster box.
3. Center the mouse pointer on the center of a connection point; visible in two triangles if not
connetions are made, otherwise two circles at the endpoints of a line, to draw a line.
4. Click to start and move the mouse pointer to the destination connection point. Center once again the
mouse pointer and click to drop the line.
5. Draw all line elements that are necessary.

7.2.3 Bay configuration engineering GUID-0D9CFE29-F00B-450F-9802-F461112B1CF4 v10

A page with a single line diagram and measurements contains active living objects. The object values
are updated by the IED periodically (measurement) or in case of an event. Once the symbols are placed
on the HMI page they must be linked to the corresponding function block in the application configuration,
which protects or controls the object that the symbol on the HMI page represents.

Creating a complete HMI display page

Procedure:

1. Make a sketch how to present the single line diagram.

2. Place the apparatus, transformer and other symbols that are needed for the single line diagram into
the raster boxes.
3. Add connection points where needed.
4. Link the apparatus symbols with line elements.
5. Adjust the text symbols while writing to north, east, south or west. Use the object property window to
do it.
6. Place measurements when needed.
7. Edit the name, unit and number of decimals of the measurements.
8. Select each object that has a dynamic link and do the link to the corresponding process object, see
Figure 62.
9. Check to select the correct function block. Function blocks of the same type can have different
instance numbers.
10. Validate that all links are done. Unlinked objects are greyed out.

Linking process objects

To describe a process object within an IED it needs to be established in the application configuration,
configured when given with its parameters by PST and linked to be displayed in the HMI.

Three tools are involved for the described steps:

• ACT to program the application function block for apparatus and/or measurements.
• PST to adapt the settings and/or configuration parameter of the application function block.
• GDE to establish the link for updating the selected data attribute in the HMI of the application function
block.

The following application function blocks are used to deliver the needed information:

• Switch controller (of type CSWI) for an apparatus.

• All configured function blocks with measurements (of type MMXU) for the measurements.
• VSGAPC for two bit indications for the dynamic text symbols.
• SLGAPC for 32 bit indications for the dynamic text symbols.

Procedure

1. Right-click the apparatus symbol and select Select Input Signal. A list of engineered switch control
application function blocks opens, see Figure 63.
2. Select the switch control application function block that corresponds to the selected apparatus.
3. Right-click the measurement symbol and select Select Input Signal. A list of the engineered
measurement application function blocks opens.
4. Select the measurement application function block that corresponds to the selected symbol.

Section 8 IEC 61850 communication engineering

8.1 IEC 61850 interface in the IED and tools SEMOD120868-5 v3

For more information on the implementation of IEC 61850 standards in IEDs, see the IEC
61850 communication protocol manual.

8.1.1 Function view for IEC 61850 in PCM600 GUID-3F996419-2724-43F3-AD0D-FD7ED15DC431 v4

The IED function blocks have a design based on the demands and advantages of the IEC 61850
standard. This means that there is a strict relation between the function blocks and the logical node
types. This relation is automatically handled by the PCM600 tools.

The concept in IED is such that the 61850 data for each function instantiated in ACT will be
automatically created. This means that the user does not need to handle any instance information for the
functions regarding IEC 61850.

8.1.2 Access points GUID-6E5D2696-A8EE-43E7-A94B-69C3D0612127 v4

An access point is an Ethernet communication interface for single or redundant station communication.
Each access point is allocated with one physical Ethernet port, two physical Ethernet ports (marked A
and B) are allocated if redundant communication is activated for the access point.

Figure 66: Access points, non redundant (left) and redundant communication (right)
GUID-E630C16F-EDB8-40AE-A8A2-94189982D15F v1
The IEC/UCA 61850-9-2LE process bus communication protocol enables an IED to communicate with
devices providing measured values in digital format, commonly known as Merging Units (MU). The rear
access points are used for the communication.

The merging units (MU) are called so because they can gather analog values from one or more
measuring transformers, sample the data and send the data over process bus to other clients (or
subscribers) in the system. Some merging units are able to get data from classical measuring
transformers, others from non-conventional measuring transducers and yet others can pick up data
from both types.

When configuring RER670 for 9-2LE streams in a 16.7Hz system, the IED shall be set to
16.7Hz and the MU to 50Hz (4kHz sampling).

Figure 67: IEC 61850: Communication interface principle

IEC 61850 has as a concept for the identification of all signals for communication that belong to a
function by a logical node as a placeholder. All signal information in command and monitoring direction,
which belongs to a function, is available within the logical node.

Whenever a function block is instantiated in ACT, PCM600 automatically generates the corresponding
logical node data. In Figure 67 this is shown by two parts per function block. The upper part is the visible
function block in ACTApplication Configuration tool and the lower part is the logical node data for the
function block.

Horizontal data communication between IEDs is illustrated in Figure 68.

8.1.3.1 GOOSE data exchange SEMOD58549-71 v11

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 and will read
the telegram and deals with it. The telegrams are multicast sent and not acknowledged by the receiver.

Figure 69: IEC 61850: Horizontal communication principle

Figure 69 shows an example with three IEDs where each one communicates with all the others.

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

In the opposite direction the standard only defines the IED as a receiver of the GOOSE message. How
the GOOSE input signals are handled must be defined in the IED application configuration. The SCD file
generated by the IET600 (or any other station configuration tool) contains these GOOSE data sets as

input data. The input data must be connected to a GOOSE receive function block (GOOSEBINRCV) in
SMT.

If the quality and time of the value is needed in the receiver IED, the quality and time must be included in
the GOOSE data set. The receiver side will connect this automatically and if the quality and time is not in
the data set, a warning message will occur in PCM.

8.1.4 Station configuration description file types SEMOD58549-93 v8

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 these file types are used in the
engineering process for an IED.

SCL files Description

ICD = IED Capability Description Capability description of the IED in logical nodes and their data. No
station specific information e.g. about communication configuration is
included. In an exported .icd file the IED name is always TEMPLATE.
SCD = Station Configuration Description Complete configuration description of all IEDs in a station and the full
engineering of process signals and communication structure is included.
This includes all needed data sets and all control blocks.
CID = Configured IED Description The CID file contains the information needed to configure just one
specific IED.

8.2 IEC 61850 engineering procedure

8.2.1 IEC 61850 protocol references and pre-conditions SEMOD58549-4 v4

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 IEC 61850 conformance documents for the IED to be engineered.
• The Technical reference manual describes function blocks defined as logical nodes.
• IEC 61850 Data objects list for the IED.

8.2.2 Sequence for engineering of IEC 61850 protocol SEMOD58549-17 v10

The IEC 61850 standard defines the complete part needed for information communication in a
substation. This can be split into the following 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

For more details please refer to the IEC 61850 standards. In the following description it is assumed that
PCM600 together with Integrated Engineering Tool (IET600) is used as system configuration tool.

A short form of a typical sequence is shown in Figure 70 when a complete station is exported as a SCD
file.

The general settings for IEC 60870-5-103 communication are the following:

• SlaveAddress and BaudRate: Settings for slave number and communication speed (baud rate).
The slave number can be set to any value between 1 and 254. The communication speed, can be set
either to 9600 bits/s or 19200 bits/s.
• RevPolarity: Setting for inverting the light (or not). Standard IEC 60870-5-103 setting is On.
• CycMeasRepTime: See I103MEAS function block for more information.
• EventRepMode: Defines the mode for how events are reported. The event buffer size is 5000 events.

Event reporting mode

If EventRepMode = SeqOfEvent, all GI and spontaneous events will be delivered in the order they were
generated by BSW. The most recent value is the latest value delivered. All GI data from a single block
will come from the same cycle.

If EventRepMode = HiPriSpont, spontaneous events will be delivered prior to GI event. To prevent old GI
data from being delivered after a new spontaneous event, the pending GI event is modified to contain
the same value as the spontaneous event. As a result, the GI dataset is not time-correlated.

Section 10 DNP3 communication engineering

10.1 Signal configuration user information GUID-AC54A350-D43E-4C0C-995C-012D7533ECC1 v4

Basic knowledge about DNP3 and the used definitions are required to use CMT. See the
DNP3 communication protocol manual for information on the DNP3 implementation in the
IED.

CMT is a part of PCM600 and allows to configure the signals that are used to communicate with clients
or master units for DNP3 protocols.

On the left window CMT organizes all available signals from the application configuration in containers
that are preselected as signal types.

On the right window CMT provides containers that are selected by tabs. Each container represents one
communication channel. The number of possible communication channels is IED type dependent. The
IED uses TCP/IP as communication channel. DNP3 can be tunneled over TCP/IP. Serial communication
over RS485 or optical is supported. .

Use direction icons that are located between the windows to move all signals or a set of individual
signals between the windows.

DNP3 signal types, index and default setting for classes are predefined in CMT. Adapt the signal
configuration to project definitions. The signal type can not be modified due to the fact that the internal
signal set up is fixed.

When the default configuration values are sufficient, the task is finished when all signal are moved
according to the project requirements.

With the Save option, the signals are stored for the communication part of the IED according to the
default selections.

Only for analog measurements additional configuration parameters are shown to do signal scaling to
DNP3 protocol presentation. This can be done when the Configuration Table View is selected.

Finally, the signal configuration to the different DNP3 channels can be listed in a report on demand and
per signal type.

10.2 Adding setting groups GUID-9C636C53-898E-4A60-9DDA-1DB13A65EE30 v3

In order to show for a DNP master which setting group is used, the procedure outlines here can be
performed.

In this example, only setting groups one and two are used. The DNP master will get two binary inputs:
the first is set if setting group one is used, the second is set if setting group two is used.

1. Configure ACTVGRP (Basic IED functions) and SP16GAPC (Monitoring) with the Application
Configuration Tool (ACT).

11.1 IEC 61850 Structure Mapping Tool GUID-079F55A1-84A7-4920-87DF-0251A08D2BD4 v2

IEC 61850 Structure Mapping Tool is used to manage the data model of IED, where one can change the
IEDs IEC 61850 data model as per the requirement. This can be done by mapping the data model with
customer specific data model. The IEC 61850 structure mapping tool is available only in FPN projects in
PCM600. A PCM600 project can be converted into an FPN project by importing an FPN SCD file into it.
FPN is supported for both IEC 61850 Edition 1 and IEC 61850 Edition 2.

FPN allows the use of standardized, predefined and IED-vendor independent templates for building and
maintaining substations. Refer to the PCM600 online help for more detailed information about FPN.

11.1.2 IED and Signal Naming Convention GUID-9432AA02-F2F5-4CEE-BCD3-D47713A60345 v3

The names used for the internal objects can be defined to be either the names used in PCM600 or
the names defined in the internal IEC 61850 model. To change the naming convention, select PCM600
naming style in use from options.

The fundamental idea of FPN is to extend LN classes and adapt the name and assignments
of DOs/DAs to LNs, without "impersonating" or reusing standard LN classes for other uses.

There are certain restrictions when using the LN classes LTRK, GSAL, and LGOS in the customer
model because they are maintained directly by the communications stack.

LTRK and GSAL are completely managed by the stack; therefore, they can be included in the customer
model as long as they adhere to the internal LN modeling (or a subset of the internal model). The model
can be reduced but not extended in the FPN mapping.

LGOS can be reduced and extended, but in the FPN mapping, the stack will take on control of some
specified DOs (GoCBRef, NdsCom, St, SimSt, LastStNum, ConfRevNum, and RxConfRevNum) and
cannot be remapped to a different source.

LGOS also needs the GoCBRef with a setSrcRef referring to an authorized GOOSE Control Block to
function under GOOSE supervision.

11.4.1 IED mapping GUID-6588A7B6-5075-4FBE-9CE1-140A27AE8995 v2

The first step in the IEC 61850 structure mapping is to map the real IEDs to the customer specific IEDs.
IED mapping means that each server IED in the FPN model is mapped with a corresponding IED in
the internal PCM600 model, that is, the real device in the substation. A server IED is an IED that has
an access point containing a server. IED mapping does not map the data attributes between the IEDs
unless the data attribute mapping is complete. IED mapping can be done in the PCM600 plant structure
and in the IEC 61850 structure mapping tool.

11.4.1.1 IED mapping in PCM600 Plant Structure GUID-AD017D10-E128-44E0-A758-E3CD95FA5975 v2

IED mapping
IED mapping is done in plant structure by dragging and dropping a PCM600 IED from the Unassigned
IEDs group on an FPN IED in the Substation. IED mapping status is indicated visually in the plant
structure.

Removing the IED mapping

IED mapping is removed from the plant structure by dragging and dropping a mapped FPN IED onto
the Unassigned IEDs group. The removed mapping will be indicated visually in the plant structure.
The PCM600 internal IED, with which the unmapped FPN IED was mapped, will appear back in the
Unassigned IEDs group if it is not anymore mapped with any FPN IEDs.

11.4.2 Data Attribute Mapping GUID-42EEE38C-FAE4-4D17-A822-EAC8F392186A v2

Data attribute mapping means that each FPN data attribute in the FPN model is mapped with a
corresponding data attribute in the internal PCM600 model, that is, the real device in the substation.

The mapping status is indicated visually. It can be seen what FPN data attribute is mapped to what
PCM600 internal data attribute and how many FPN data attributes are mapped to a PCM600 internal
data attribute.

Data attribute mapping is complete when all data attributes of the FPN IED, which are not excluded from
the mappings, are mapped with a PCM600 internal data attribute. The data attribute mapping must be
complete in order to be able to write to IED.

Data attribute mapping is broken if any of the data attributes - FPN or PCM600 internal - that are
mapped, does not exist in the SCL database.

When performing data attribute mapping, understand the following visual signs:

Completely mapped

Not mapped

Broken mapping

Partially mapped

Object is excluded from the mappings

All data attributes in the FPN model must be mapped or excluded, otherwise write to IED
fails.

11.4.2.1 Data Attribute Level Mapping GUID-21AF369A-EF96-4039-BBE4-E925E5A3C488 v2

The IEC 61850 Structure Mapping Tool displays the FPN data attributes and PCM600 internal data

The data attributes that are excluded from the mapping will not be excluded from the model. Excluded
mappings will be ignored when determining if an IED mapping is complete.

It is crucial to set a value to the excluded data attributes before initiating the mapping.

11.5 Setting the data attribute value GUID-C45518A9-4AD2-44B1-8AAE-6092E0F890F2 v1

The data attribute value can be set by editing the Value field in the Object Properties window. For enum
type of data attributes there is a list of available values to select. For numeric and string type data
attributes the value can be entered directly in the Value field.

11.7 Creating Template GUID-5C4BBE6F-60BE-4563-9038-BF7A3EF0798D v2

It is possible to create a template of an IED’s data attribute mapping and store it for reuse. The template
contains description of the data attribute mapping between two IED SCL models.

All mapping templates created in PCM600 are stored in a template library. The template library is not
specific to certain PCM600 project, but it is common for all projects. Templates in the library can be
managed in the following ways.

• Delete selected templates

• Export templates
• A single or multiple template files can be exported.

• Import templates
• A single or multiple template files can be imported.
• If a template being imported already exists in the library, user will be prompted whether to override
the existing one.

• Export project’s templates

• When PCM600 project is exported, all templates used in the project will be automatically included in
the exported PCMP file.

• Import project’s templates

• When PCM600 project is imported, all templates included in the imported PCMP file will be
automatically imported into the template library.
• If a template being imported already exists in the library it will be overridden.

The mapping templates are also used by IET600 to translate the internal data references in the signal
library to the FPN references, because IET600 needs to know what template to use to resolve the
internal data references.

Create template for each IED mapping.

11.7.1 Creating a Mapping Template GUID-E31298E4-439D-41C7-B73B-D7F388C30EE9 v2

Data attribute mapping templates can be created from mapped IEDs. If the template is created from an
incompletely mapped IED, an information dialog will be shown. User can select an option to not show
the dialog again. The dialog can be resumed afterwards from the PCM600 Options menu.

The template can be created either from the IEC 61850 structure mapping tool or from the PCM600
plant structure. The required template information has to be filled in before it can be created.

11.7.2 Applying Mapping Template on IED GUID-59226241-AE98-4248-9BEA-A427AE7127A5 v2

The template can be selected from a list consisting of all available templates. The FPN IED must be
mapped with a PCM600 internal IED before the template can be applied.

The template can be applied either in the IEC 61850 structure mapping tool or in the PCM600 plant
structure. In the IEC 61850 structure mapping tool, the template can be applied to one or several IEDs at
once. In the plant structure the template can be applied on one IED at a time by right clicking on an IED
or on all IEDs under a bay by right clicking on the bay.

Overreach A term used to describe how the relay behaves during a fault condition. For
example, a distance relay is overreaching when the impedance presented to
it is smaller than the apparent impedance to the fault applied to the balance
point, that is, the set reach. The relay “sees” the fault but perhaps it should not
have seen it.

TCP Transmission control protocol. The most common transport layer protocol used
on Ethernet and the Internet.
TCP/IP Transmission control protocol over Internet Protocol. The de facto standard
Ethernet protocols incorporated into 4.2BSD Unix. TCP/IP was developed
by DARPA for Internet working and encompasses both network layer and
transport layer protocols. While TCP and IP specify two protocols at specific
protocol layers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to the entire US Department of
Defense protocol suite based upon these, including Telnet, FTP, UDP and RDP.

Underreach A term used to describe how the relay behaves during a fault condition. For
example, a distance relay is underreaching when the impedance presented to
it is greater than the apparent impedance to the fault applied to the balance
point, that is, the set reach. The relay does not “see” the fault but perhaps it
should have seen it. See also Overreach.
UTC Coordinated Universal Time. A coordinated time scale, maintained by the
Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), which forms the basis of
a coordinated dissemination of standard frequencies and time signals. UTC is
derived from International Atomic Time (TAI) by the addition of a whole number
of "leap seconds" to synchronize it with Universal Time 1 (UT1), thus allowing
for the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, the rotational axis tilt (23.5 degrees),
but still showing the Earth's irregular rotation, on which UT1 is based. The
Coordinated Universal Time is expressed using a 24-hour clock, and uses the
Gregorian calendar. It is used for aeroplane and ship navigation, where it is
also sometimes known by the military name, "Zulu time." "Zulu" in the phonetic
alphabet stands for "Z", which stands for longitude zero.
