Simulation Mode and Reset to Factory Default are available to support the engineering, commissioning and operational phase of the project. Once the engineering of a SAM600 system is done, the results are written to a SAM600 system. Conversely, engineering information can be uploaded from a SAM600 system for various purposes.
Section 3 1MRK 511 431-UEN - Engineering process Engineering process SAM600 engineering process The recommended sequences for a SAM600 engineering process is shown in the following workflow, see Figure 2. Those workflow steps are described in various sections throughout this document.
PCM600 tools. Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, whereas only one project can be active at a time. Several types of SAM600 systems can be managed in one PCM600 project.
Setting up a project Building a plant structure A plant structure is used to identify each SAM600 system in its location within the substation organization. It is a geographical image of the substation and the bays within the substation. The organization structure for a SAM600 systems may differ from the structure of the primary equipment in the substation.

Rename the level after insertion using the Rename possibility or the Object Properties. Figure 3 shows the start of a project with single SAM600 system placed, before renaming the level.
Types view shows the possible available SAM600 systems to insert on the bay level Plant Structure, see Figure On the bay level Plant Structure it is possible to insert a SAM600 system in online or offline mode. Online mode: When a SAM600 system is connected to PCM600 and the communication is established, PCM600 reads the configuration from the physical SAM600 system.

Sampled Value stream and Port Configuration is a tool used for merging the current and or voltage signals in a single IEC 61850-9-2LE stream and for defining the output. This is a PCM600 tool which can be launched from a SAM600 system context menu, see Figure 21.
Page 36
To add a sample value stream, right click on the Content Definition Port tab. A stream with a default name is added into the system which can be modified if required. Based on the hardware modules configured during a SAM600 system creation, sample value streams lists the potential sources for currents and voltages.
Page 37
Figure 23: PCM600: Selecting Voltage and/or current modules for merging Define external SV Stream A SAM600 system has the capability to subscribe any external IEC 61850-9- 2LE sample value stream on any port. Those external streams can be published on any other available SAM600 port, called bridging.

Section 5 1MRK 511 431-UEN - SAM600 engineering Figure 27: PCM600: Modify SAM600 stream fields SMVID and MAC address of SAM600 streams can be edited from the Object Properties section, see Figure 27. The minimum length of SMVID is one character and maximum length is 34 characters.
It is possible to update Serial Number, Custom Name of the Hardware Module and also SAM600 system bus connections. It is possible to add or remove SAM600 modules to or from the SAM600 configuration. In case SAM600 modules are removed which are used to provide sample value information the respective configuration will be automatically updated.
SAM600 engineering Exporting and importing SCL files 5.4.1 Exporting SCL files from PCM600 A SAM600 system included in the project needs to be configured to export SCL files from PCM600. 5.4.1.1 Exporting SCD files Follow the procedure to export SCD files from PCM600: 1.
