4.7 Inserting an IED
The context menu or the Object Types view shows the available 650 series 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 Offline mode or in Online 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
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.
It is possible to judge whether the inserted IED is in offline mode
or online mode from the plant structure. A red color cross before
the IED symbol indicates the offline mode as shown in Figure 17.

• Import a template IED available in the template library as a *.pcmt file.
• Import a configured IED available as a *.pcmi file.
Inserting an IED in online mode
For setting up an IED online, the IED must be connected to PCM600.
