Section 4 Setting up a project4.1 PCM600 operates on projectsA typical project in PCM600 contains a plant structure including one or severalIED objects, where each IED object contains the engineering data created ormodified using the different PCM600 tools.Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, but only one project canbe active at a time.4.2 Installing Connectivity packagesA Connectivity package contains the complete description of the IED data signals,parameters and protocol addresses for a certain IED type and version. Several typesof IEDs can be managed in one PCM600 project, thus the correspondingConnectivity package has to be installed on the PC. Connectivity Packages andConnectivity Package Updates are managed in the Update Manager.PCM600 must be installed before the connectivity packages can beinstalled.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 650 series IEDs.The IED specific module is separate for each type of IED.Installing IED Connectivity packageThe Connectivity package is available on the CD that was distributed along withthe IED.Procedure1. Close PCM600 before running the IED Connectivity Package RE_650.exeinstallation wizard.2. Select the IED type(s) to install in the installation wizard window, for exampleREL650 module 1.0.0 Module v.n. (n = version number).The installationsoftware guides the user through steps required to install the IED Connectivitypackage base module and the specific IED type modules. The IED specificmodule is installed to same location as for IEDConnectivity package basemodule. The default directory is C:/Program Files/ABB/Connectivity Packages/IEDConnPackRE_650.1MRK 511 261-UEN - Section 4Setting up a project650 series 23Engineering Manual
