• Document the application configuration, for example to make printouts.
• Test the application configuration online.
• Save application configurations as templates in an application library to
reuse them in other IEDs.
• Validate the application configuration during the configuration process on
demand and while writing the application configuration to the IED.
For instructions on how to perform the different tasks in PCM600, see
PCM600 online help.

Function blocks

• Function blocks are the main elements of an application configuration. They are
designed for a various number of functions and organized in type groups. The
different function block types are shown in the Object Types View.
presents an overview of the main parts that are relevant for function blocks.
• Set user defined names for function blocks and signals marked with blue text.
Signals that have a user defined name created in ACT, will only
be visible in PST if the IED configuration is written to the IED
and read back to PCM600. Otherwise the default signal name is
shown in PST.
Do not use other characters than a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ when setting
user defined names for signals and function blocks, since other
characters might not display properly in local HMI. Also avoid
using space character.
• 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 Boolean outputs.
SMT is not supporting signals of integer type or group
signals. So, even if these types of signals are set as visible
for SMT, they will not be shown in SMT.
The function block signal values are updated in the online
debug mode only if the function is enabled.
