Section 5 Configuring the IED and changingsettings5.1 Overview M11730-2 v6The customer specific values for each setting parameter and a configuration filehave to be available before the IED can be set and configured, if the IED is notdelivered with a configuration.Use the configuration tools in PCM600 to verify that the IED has the expectedconfiguration.Each function included in the IED has several setting parameters, which have to beset in order to make the IED behave as intended. A factory default value isprovided for each parameter.The Parameter Setting Tool in PCM600 is used whenchanging setting parameters.All settings can be• Entered manually through the local HMI.• Written from a PC, either locally or remotely using PCM600. Front or rearport communication has to be established before the settings can be written tothe IED.Make sure that the DC supply is not turned off when the IED savesthe written configuration.The IED uses a FLASH disk for storing configuration data and process data likecounters, object states, Local/Remote switch position etc. Since FLASH memory isused, measures have been taken in software to make sure that the FLASH disk isnot worn out by too intensive storing of data.This means, that to be absolutely sure that all data have been saved to FLASH, it isnecessary to leave the IED with auxiliary power connected after all thecommissioning is done (including setting the Local/Remote switch to the desiredposition) for at least one hour after the last commissioning action performed on theIED.After that time has elapsed, it will be safe to turn the IED off, no data will be lost.1MRK 505 378-UEN A Section 5Configuring the IED and changing settingsLine differential protection RED670 2.2 IEC 59Commissioning manual
