• Insert function blocks, make connections and create variables• Include the hardware I/O channels directly to the application configuration• Calculate the execution order automatically by clicking Calculate executionorder on the toolbar.• Document the application configuration: such as, make printouts• Save application configurations as templates in an application library toreuse them in other IEDs (Function blocks and related logic can be fully orpartially reused depending on the functionality available in other IED)• Validate the application configuration during the configuration process ondemand and while writing the application configuration to the IEDFor instructions on how to perform the different tasks in PCM600, seePCM600 online help.5.1.1 Function blocksFunction blocks are the main elements of an application configuration. They aredesigned for a various number of functions and organized into groups by type. Thedifferent function block types are shown in the Object Types view. Function blockdata can be modified with the Application Configuration tool.• Set user-defined names for function blocks and signals marked with blue text.Signals that have a user-defined name created with the ApplicationConfiguration tool are only visible in the Parameter Setting tool ifthe IED configuration is written to the IED and read back toPCM600. Otherwise, the default signal name is shown in theParameter Setting tool.If possible, set the user-defined name to a signal before connectingthe signal to other function blocks.• Set IEC 61850, ANSI or IEC 60617 symbol standard.• 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 outputs.Section 5 1MRS240044-IB AProtection and control engineering62 REF615REngineering Manual
