Alternatively the IED can be flush mounted. The IED can be ordererd with
optional IP 54 ingression protection.
Note! The use of test switch RTXP24 NO contact 29-30 to perform software
blocking has several advantages and is used during testing of many functions in
the same protection IED.
Test is supported by the configuration TEST function block. Switching the IED
to test mode will allow blocking and releasing of individual functions sepa-
rately and also blocking of events to the SA system.

To change a setting, select an item in the menu structure and change it using the
up and down keys on the HMI. After selecting parameter values move up
through the menu system by repeatedly pushing the left arrow key until a dialog
box appears where changes can be confirmed or cancelled.
The LEDs on the front panel of the IED are configured with the Signal Matrix
Tool and are activated by various events, such as Distance protection trip, Phase
selection A, B and C and Auto Reclose. The LEDs are labelled according to the
configuration chosen. The label is printed and inserted manually from the top,
see picture. The labels for each LED can include a maximum of 18 characters
in Arial 16 font. These 15 LEDs are alarm indicators and are colored red (1-6)
and yellow (7-15). When active they will show flashing or steady light. Use the
Reset button to reset the LEDs. Above the LCD there is a green (depends on
settings), a yellow (pickup) and a red (trip) LED. These are activated by general
pickup and trip operations. The Trip logic function block (TRM) must be used
and set ON to activate the red LED.

To safeguard the interests of our customers, both the IED 670 and the tools that
are accessing the IED 670 are protected, subject of authorization handling. The
concept of auhtorization, as it is implemented in the IED 670 and the associated
tools is based on the following facts:
The IED users can be created, deleted and edited only with the User Manage-
ment Tool (UMT) within PCM 600. The user can only LogOn or LogOff on
the LHMI of the IED, there are no users, groups or functionalities that can be
defined on the IED LHMI.
The display time out is set to 60 minutes at delivery. At delivery the default user
is the SuperUser. No LogOn is required to operate the IED until a user has been
created with the UMT. See Application manual for more details.
The help screen is activated by pressing the Help key on the front panel of the
IED. It includes the submenu listed below:
• General operation
The General operation submenu provides information about the IED keypad.
The OPEN and CLOSE keys are used to open (OFF) and close (ON) breakers
and disconnectors when using the Single Line Diagram (SLD) in direct control
situations.

IED 670 IEDs are designed to be part of a station control system with commu-
nication gateways to a control centre. A typical system structure is illustrated
above. The following should be noted:
1. The following protocols are available in the current release of the IED 670: IEC61850,
IEC60870-5-103, SPA, LON, DNP 3.0, IEC61850 uses Ethernet and TCP/IP while
IEC60870-5-103, SPA, LON are serial protocols; DNP 3.0 can use both Ethernet and
serial ports.
2. There are several way to synchronize the internal clock of an IED 670:
• via an IRIG-B input, from a station clock; the clock can provide local time of the year in this
format. The “B” in IRIG-B states that 100 bits per second are transmitted, and the message is
sent every second. After IRIG-B there is a number of figures stating if and how the signals is
modulated and the information is transmitted. To receive IRIG-B there are two connectors in
the IRIG-B module, one galvanic BNC connector and one optical ST connector. IRIG-B 12x
messages can be supplied via the galvanic interface, and IRIG-B 00x can be supplied via either
the galvanic interface or the optical interface.
• via GPS satellite clock, e.g. the Meinberg LANTIME which has been verified for Network
Time Protocol (NTP) format. The clock is connected to the station bus communication switch.
Other clocks can also be used but please check back if they were verified by ABB.
• the same GPS satellite clock can synchronize an IED via a binay input (B.I), with the disadvan-
tage of using copper cables over the whole substation.
• The IED can also be synchronized from another IED 670 equipped with a GPS module, acting
like a SNTP server.
3. The Station HMI can be any type of HMI managing the IEC 61850-8-1 or the LON pro-
tocol if this is selected. The ABB Micro SCADA is verified for high performance, event
handling, and analog values, even in large stations.
4. Peer-to-Peer communication is made possible using both IEC 61850-8-1 with GOOSE
and LON. In the IED 670 IED the incoming signals (LON/SPA) are set up with a Com-
mand block (Cmd) and the outgoing signals with an Event block (Ev) when the unit is
configured. Horizontal communication is set up with a communication tool for IEC61850
or LON.
5. The communication Gateway for the control centre provides protocol conversion to the
required SCADA protocol, which today is usually DNP3.0, IEC870-5-101 or IEC870-5-
104. The Gateway provides event grouping and adapted dead bands to minimize traffic
on the link to the control centre.
The PCM 600 toolbox is used to configure protection IEDs in the IED 670
series. The tool includes a project manager and tools for all necessary tasks.
Install the PCM 600 in your computer first and then install the IED connectivity
packages. Start the PCM 600 and build a new project.
System requirements:
To start installation of PCM 600 insert the installation CD into the CD-drive. If
installation doesn’t start automatically, execute setup.exe in the root folder on
the installation CD. When the installation begins select the software that you
prefer to install and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Figure 6: Setting IP.
Note! If you don’t have Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine already installed
this will be installed when installing PCM 600. Installation of PCM 600 can
only be made as a standalone installation.
After the installation has completed, start Connectivity Package Manager from
desktop to activate installed Connectivity Packages for PCM 600.
Prerequisites:
• To operate with PCM 600, there must be at least one communication Con-
nectivity Package and one IED Connectivity Package installed and selected
to be used with PCM 600. The IED Connectivity Packages are delivered with
the IED’s.
Start the PCM 600 from the desktop and build a new project. For the new
project your system structure with stations, voltage levels, bays and IEDs is
built-up in the plant structure. Right click your mouse or locate the plant struc-
ture components in the menu.
To communicate with the IED the following set-up is required under the com-
munication structure and/or properties for an IED.
• The TCP/IP address on the PC must be set. If your computer setting is DHCP the
connection will not work. Set-up your PC manually with values close to the values
set in the HMI tree, under General settings/Communication/Network Interface/
Ethernet. Note! You need to have administrator rights to start up the communica-
tion.
• The IP address is set under communication structure (right click the plant structure
tab) Select the IED and set the IP address under properties as shown in figure 6.
• Set the SPA address for the IED under the communication structure. Open the IED
and the LDO and set the address to 30. See figure 8.
Configuration
Configure the IED with the CAP 531 Application configuration tool. The
default password is abb. Right click on IED and select Application Configura-
tion.
The PCM 600 toolbox can be used to upload the ordered default configuration
from the IED and then change it to suit the needs of the application, however
the selected configuration will normally be sufficient for any application once
the binary input/outputs and analog inputs have been defined in the signal
matrix tool (described below).
Insert your new functions from the function library into the selected locations.
Click the inputs or outputs and type “v” to give variable names to a connection.
Connect to the other end with the same signal name, alternatively draw the con-
nection with the connector tool. Outputs may go to several function blocks but
inputs may only be connected to one so an OR gate might be required. Signals
to other sheets shall preferably be drawn to the edge of the sheet where there is
a red line. This ensures that signal cross-references will be shown at printout.
Open inputs are not allowed, connect them to FALSE (Off) or in some cases to
TRUE (On).
When you are ready, save and compile. Errors can be double-clicked to find the
source of the error signal. This allows the user to quickly correct any errors.

tings to the IED by clicking the download symbol on the menu. Individual
parameters, the complete IED structure, General settings and Setting groups
can be downloaded individually or according to preferences. It is advisable to
download individual functions and read back the values for verification.
Disturbance records are uploaded from the PCM 600 toolbox with a scheduler
or manually. Open the Disturbance recorder tool. Right click on the lower part
where the IED disturbances are shown and upload the list. Mark the distur-
bances you want to move to the PC and upload, you will find this option by
right clicking the mouse.
The configuration is available under the Basic template for the IED or can be
uploaded into the structure with the configuration tool. By default, a number of
signals are associated with the disturbance report and will show up on the dis-
play and be recorded as disturbance records. It is always possible to return to
the default configuration if problems with a specific configuration arise. IO
configurations are order specific and are therefore not included in the default
configuration. To activate inputs and outputs, configure them with the Signal
Matrix tool. For help, refer to the configuration tool section in this document.
Each protection function has a function block with both analog and binary
inputs and outputs. The function blocks are described in detail in the Technical
reference manual. The analog inputs are connected by default to a pre-process-
ing analog block in the configuration and a cross reference table is generated in
the parameter setting tool (PST) which is part of the PCM 600. Ensure that the
analog signals connected to the function blocks are checked so that the correct
inputs are fed with analog signals when testing. Binary signals are connected
with the configuration tool.
When a red LED shines– the protection has operated and caused a trip. Reset
with the C button. If this does not work the fault is still present, or the lock-out
is activated and locked. If so reset the lock-out.
The IED Report self supervision display has the following displays. Self moni-
toring – CPU error: Indicates a CPU problem but could for example also be a
remote communication problem if the LDCM module is included.
AD error: Indicates a problem on the dataflow or values from the A/D converter
Application problems: The function does not trip or show-up on the HMI.
Note! First check that the function is set to ON and that it is not blocked, or in
test mode.
