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
standard 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 protection relay 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 relay case internals may contain high
voltage potential and touching these may cause personal injury.

The protection relay contains components which are sensitive to

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

Whenever changes are made in the protection relay, measures should

be taken to avoid inadvertent tripping.

Relay engineering process

Section 2 Relay engineering process

PCM600 is used for various tasks in the protection relay engineering process.

• Relay engineering management

• Organizing the bay protection relays in the structure of the substation by
defining voltage levels and bays below the substation. PCM600 manages
the project.
• Configuring the parameters and setting values for the protection relay itself
and for the process functions by using the Parameter Setting tool.
• Configuring the events shown on the LHMI using the HMI Event Filtering
tool.
• Reusing configurations from older protection relay versions using the
Configuration Migration 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 protection
relay's application configuration function blocks by using the Signal Matrix
tool.
• Configuring protocol data mapping for Modbus with the Communication
Management tool.

• Record management
• Generating overviews on the available (disturbance) recordings in all
connected protection relays by using the Disturbance Handling tool.
• Manually reading the recording files (in the COMTRADE format) from the
protection relays 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 protection relay,
save records to a PC and clear old records.

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

611 series 13
Engineering Manual
Section 2 1MRS241255 A
Relay engineering process

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 protection relay is finished, the results must be written to
the protection relay.

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

2.1 Monitoring and control system structure

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

The maximum size of a project is 180 devices. However, in order to

maintain good performance and usability of the tool, it is
recommended to divide one big project into multiple smaller PCM600
projects.

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

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

• Bay level devices

• Station communication
• Station level devices

14 611 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS241255 A Section 2
Relay engineering process

All three parts require specific engineering and configuration.

A plant structure is used to identify each device 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 devices 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 device
identification.

• Project
• Substation = name of the substation
• Voltage level = identifies to which grid type or part the device 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 device and two protection relays

2.2 Standard configuration concept

The product series covers protection relays developed for the protection of medium
voltage applications. Every product has predefined application-specific software
called standard configuration that contains protection, control, supervision and
measurement function blocks and default logical connections; for more information,
see the application manuals. The product also includes the standard configuration
specific default single-line diagram.

The standard configuration software consists of connections between an application's

functions developed according to the needs of a particular functional application. The
inputs and outputs are similarly assigned to a default set of connections such as
position indication and Master trip. The alarm LEDs are assigned to default
connections based on the order number.

Current and voltage channels for protection and measurement

functions are fixed as a part of standard configuration and cannot be
reassigned with Signal Matrix in PCM600.

The content of the standard configuration depends on the intended functional

application. The standard configurations also have selectable software options, which
are selected when ordering the protection relay. Some of the software options are
related to the protection relay hardware.

All functions and application logic included in a standard configuration of the

protection relay can be in use at the same time.

experience and dependencies of the steps

It is possible to follow a different 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.

The maximum size of a project is 180 IEDs. However, in order to

maintain good performance and usability of the tool, it is

16 611 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS241255 A Section 2
Relay engineering process

recommended to divide one big project into multiple smaller

PCM600 projects.

• To add a protection relay to a project, a suitable Connectivity package is needed.

Protection relays 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.

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.

LHMI engineering
• The LEDs are configured with Application Configuration.
• The LED behavior is defined with Parameter Setting.
• The HMI Event Filtering tool can be used to configure event visibility on the
LHMI event list.

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. Either IEC 61850 Configuration tool or IET600 is
needed for configuring horizontal and vertical communication.
• The Communication Management tool is used for other protocols; for example
Modbus.

The protection relay restarts automatically when writing a relay

configuration where changes have been made. It is not possible to
communicate with the protection relay during restart.

PCM600 tool

Section 3 PCM600 tool

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

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

The whole substation can be controlled and different tasks and functions can be
performed with the individual tool components. 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 protection relays.

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 devices. This
communication allows PCM600 to configure and monitor the devices. In addition to
IEC 61850 the devices have optional communications protocols and hardware to
connect to station engineering tools. PCM600 provides the ability to export the
configuration of the devices or an entire substation in a standard file format which
enables station engineering in separate IEC 61850 System Configuration tools.

A PC with PCM600 can be connected to any 611 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 relays.

The modern-day protection relays are designed using the concept of the IEC 61850
standard. This is primarily in regards to how functions within the protection relay are
modelled and how the protection relay is represented in the substation. See the IEC
61850 parameter list for the list of logical nodes available in the protection relay 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 protection relay life cycle.
A set of special tools is available for different applications.

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 a protection relay. Connectivity
packages are used to create configuration structures in PCM600. The latest PCM600
and connectivity packages are backward compatible with older protection relay
versions.

A connectivity package includes all of the data which is used to describe the protection
relay, for example, it contains a list of the existing parameters, data format used, units,
setting range, 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 protection relay. It also allows for localization of text even
when its read from the protection relay 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.

Regardless the protocol used in installation for each project, the IEC 61850 version
must be selected when adding the first IED to plant structure. After the initial
selection, all IEDs in plant structure use the selected version, either Edition 1 or
Edition 2. In case the IEC 61850 is not used for station bus, the default version can be
applied. By default, the IEC 61850 version of PCM600 is Edition 1. The protection
relay's IEC 61850 version is by default Edition 2.

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 Technical key

Both a physical IED and an IED object in PCM600 have a technical key. The technical
key in the protection relay 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 protection relay is delivered with a factory default technical key.

The validation of the technical keys between PCM600 and the
protection relay does not occur if the protection relay 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 outside

611 series 23
Engineering Manual
Section 3 1MRS241255 A
PCM600 tool

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 protection
relay and PCM600. The technical key can be read from the protection relay and
updated to PCM600, or the PCM600 technical key can be written to the protection
relay. Alternatively, a user-defined technical key can be defined.

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

GUID-EF8A07F6-C6D1-4AA8-BDAD-A5F29F33389A V1 EN

Figure 6: 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.

3.4.1 IEC 61850 naming conventions to identify an IED

This section is only valid when the IEC 61850 standard is used for station bus
communication. 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, 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. The technical key is used within SCL for referencing to other objects. The
name is a relative identification within a hierarchy of objects. The maximum

24 611 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS241255 A Section 3
PCM600 tool

characters allowed for a technical key is 28 for IEC 61850 Edition 1 and 60 for
Edition 2 projects.
• 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. The maximum length is 100.

PCM600 takes care of these 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.

3.5 Communication between PCM600 and the protection

relay

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

All communication is done over Ethernet using either IEC 61850 or FTP/FTPS
protocol.

Each protection relay 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
protection relay.

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

1. If needed, the IP address for the protection relays 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 protection relays' IP addresses in the PCM600 project are configured for each
protection relay to match the IP addresses of the physical IEDs.
4. Technical keys of the IEDs in PCM600 project are configured for each protection
relay to match the technical keys of the physical IEDs.

For successful protection relay engineering and usage, check the workstation firewall
TCP and UDP port configurations, especially for IEC 61850 and FTP. Other protocols
are not used for engineering and/or they are optional.

3.5.1 Setting up IP addresses

The IP address and the corresponding subnet mask can be set via LHMI for the rear
Ethernet interface in the protection relay. Each Ethernet interface has a default factory
IP address when the complete protection relay 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 protection relay's front port IP address is fixed to “192.168.0.254”

and it cannot be modified.

1. Set the IP address for the protection relay's rear port and the corresponding
subnet mask via the LHMI path Configuration/Communication/Ethernet/
Rear port.
Table 3: Default IP address for the rear port and the corresponding subnet mask
IP address 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 devices

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.

3.6 IED Update

The firmware update tool is used for patching the IED firmware and for adding or
replacing additional languages to the IED. Update packages are provided by Customer
Support. The update tool can be used either locally or remotely.

It is recommended to take a backup of the IED configuration before starting the

update. This can be done by using the Read from IED function from the IED context

30 611 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS241255 A Section 3
PCM600 tool

menu in PCM600. The user needs to be authorized before using the tool. User
credentials are asked if the default administrator password has been changed.
Administrator or engineer credentials are needed for authorization.

3.6.1 Prerequisites for local and remote updates

Local update
• Use of the front port is recommended when updating locally. Remove the IED
from the network especially with redundant network topologies (HSR/PRP).

Remote update
• Communication is recommended to be secured either by setting up a VPN
connection or enabling secure communication in the IED via LHMI
(Configuration/Authorization/Remote Update) while updating remotely.
• Remote update can be enabled in the IED either via the LHMI (Configuration/
Authorization/Security/Remote Update) or by an administrator in the
Parameter Setting tool in PCM600 (IED Configuration/Configuration/
Authorization/Remote Update to be able to update remotely. If the IED is in
local control mode, remote update proceeds only after a confirmation is received
from the user.
• Remote update has to be disabled manually after the update, if wanted.
• Remote update only works when the IED is connected from the rear port with a
custom IP address.

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

• Insert either offline or online IED

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

611 series 37
Engineering Manual
Section 4 1MRS241255 A
Setting up a project

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.

IEC 61850 Edition 1 and Edition 2 IEDs cannot be used

simultaneously in the same PCM600 project. The first inserted IED
determines the IEC 61850 version for the whole project.

4.3.1 Inserting an IED in online mode

To set up an IED online, the protection relay must be connected to PCM600.

When the protection relay is already connected to PCM600, PCM600 can read the
order number directly from the relay. It is possible to read the full configuration from
the relay by using the Read from IED function.

1. In the Plant Structure view, right-click the bay, point to New, point to the relay
application area such as Motor Protection IEDs and select the protection relay
type to be inserted.

Alternatively, drag an IED from the Object Types view to the

4.3.3 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 configuration, 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

4.5 COM600S project

The 611 series connectivity package supports SAB600. A 611 series protection relay
is imported as a 611 series device. It is also possible to import a full PCM600 project
including several 611 series devices to SAB600. In this case, PCM600 project
information is imported to SAB600 using a SCD file.

The 611 series device supports several functions in COM600S.

• Controlling the switchgear

• Monitoring the measured values
• Reading disturbance recordings
• Setting parameters

4.5.1 Selecting communication port for configuration

When a relay is configured to a PCM600 project, the connection between the relay and
the tool can be established using a point-to-point link between the relay front port and
the computer or by connecting the computer to the relay rear port over an Ethernet
station bus. In PCM600, the front or rear communication port can be selected from the
project structure.

611 series 53
Engineering Manual
Section 4 1MRS241255 A
Setting up a project

When using the front port, DHCP server functionality must be activated in the
computer network adapter settings to get the IP address from the relay. Alternatively,
the computer network adapter IP address can be set manually to the same subnet range
as the front port.

GUID-6B209BB8-F07E-4414-B404-EA33CEB71DB2 V1 EN

Figure 33: Communication port options

• Check that the settings are correct to ensure successful configuration access to the
relay.
• Computer port settings must match relay settings (IP address, subnet mask,
DHCP).
• Any fire wall in the computer or in the network must pass required
communication services.
• When using the front port and switching the connection from the computer
to another relay, it takes some time before the computer refreshes the relay's
MAC address for front port IP address automatically. The MAC address
can also be reset manually by clearing the computer ARP table.

4.5.2 Importing a 611 series protection relay in a COM600S project

the PCM600 computer, not the COM600S.

The communication towards the protection relays is now ready. For information on
how to finalize the single-line diagram and enable parameter setting through
COM600S HMI, see COM600S documentation.

4.6 Using the Web HMI

WHMI is enabled by default. As secure communication is enabled by default, the

WHMI must be accessed from a Web browser using the HTTPS protocol.

If the WHMI was previously disabled, it can be enabled again via the LHMI.

1. To enable the WHMI, select Main menu/Configuration/HMI/Web HMI

mode via the LHMI.
2. Reboot the relay for the change to take effect.
3. Log in with the proper user rights to use the WHMI.

To establish a remote WHMI connection to the protection relay,

contact the network administrator to check the company rules for IP
and remote connections.

Disable the Web browser proxy settings or make an exception to the

proxy rules to allow the protection relay's WHMI connection, for
example, by including the relay's IP address in Internet Options/
Connections/LAN Settings/Advanced/Exceptions.

For more information on the WHMI, see the operation manual.

4.7 Managing IED users

IED user authorization is disabled by default. IED user passwords can be changed in
LHMI, WHMI and using the IED Users tool in PCM600.

5.1 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 protection relay, where

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

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

• Configuration parameters
• Setting parameters

5.1.1 Configuration parameter

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

5.1.2 Setting parameter

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

5.1.3 Setting group

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

The protection relay supports the selection of a setting group at runtime.

611 series 61
Engineering Manual
Section 5 1MRS241255 A
Protection and control engineering

5.1.4 Parameter import and export

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

The exporting and importing of settings is sensitive to the protection

relay's content. Settings are exported and imported for one protection
relay at a time. The export files of a specific protection relay 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 protection relays,
ensure that the names of the export files identify the protection relay
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.

5.2 Signal Matrix

The Signal Matrix tool is used for the GOOSE signal input engineering.

62 611 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS241255 A Section 5
Protection and control engineering

There are 20 GOOSERCV_BINs in 611 series protection relays. For 611 series
application, only GOOSE binary inputs can be connected. A maximum of 20 GOOSE
binary inputs can be taken into use.

For details of GOOSERCV_BIN applications and related switch group functions, see
the application manual.

5.3 Fault Record tool

The Fault Record tool is used for reading the fault records from the protection relay
and it is included in the connectivity packages. The tool makes analyzing the fault
records easier by showing them separately in their own user control components. It
also includes save, copy and clear functions where all the fault records are saved or
copied in text format for later viewing or cleared from the protection relay or the tool.

The fault record is saved to a local PC with the default name

FaultRecords.txt. Revise the file name before saving to avoid
overriding the old record.

5.3.1 Opening and closing Fault Record tool

• To open the Fault Record tool, right-click an IED node in the PCM600 project
tree and select Fault Record Tool.

The Fault Record tool runs in the same process as PCM600 but in a separate
window. Multiple instances of the tool can be run at the same time. Any open tool
instances are closed without confirmation when PCM600 is closed.

The Fault Record tool is a connectivity package tool. The main functionality is divided
into three parts: reading the fault record parameters from the protection relay,
displaying their names, values and units on the user interface and saving them to a text
file. It is also possible to clear all the fault records from both the tool and the protection
relay and copy the fault records either individually or all at once to a word processor.

6.1 HMI event filtering

HMI Event Filtering is a tool that helps in configuring visibility of events shown on the
LHMI and WHMI of the IED. This tool does not modify the actual events on the
protocol level, it only modifies the event visibility on the LHMI and WHMI.

The event tree view is used to modify the visibility of the events shown on the LHMI
and WHMI. Events in the tree view are structured in the same way as functions in the
PCM600 plant structure.

Figure 50: 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 devices (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 51: IEC 61850: Horizontal communication principle, an example of three

IEDs where each IED communicates 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 or data
objects) 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 device's
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.

• 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.
• IID = Instantiated IED description
• The IID file contains a complete IED configuration, like the CID file. The
IID file can include references to other devices which are not present in the
file. The IID file is meant for transferring configuration data from IED
configuration tool to a system configuration tool.

The uploading of IEC 61850 communication configuration is not

supported when reading a configuration from an online IED. The
PCM600 project works as a repository for the IEC 61850
configuration.

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

1MRS241255 A Section 7
IEC 61850 communication engineering

When exporting an 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.

7.3.2 Engineering vertical and horizontal communication

For IEC 61850 engineering a separate system configuration tool is needed to be used
with PCM600. In PCM600 Ver.2.4 the recommended tool is IET600, which is also
included in the PCM600 Engineering Pro installation package.In PCM600 Ver.2.5 or

82 611 series
Engineering Manual
1MRS241255 A Section 7
IEC 61850 communication engineering

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 IET600. [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.

The data set for GOOSE can contain signals on the data
attribute or data object level. Data object level GOOSE
entries can only be received of the following CDC types:
SPS, SPC, ACD, ACT, DPS, DPC, INC, INS, ENC and
ENS.

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.
