How to install PCM600 Ver. 2.3
Insert the installation CD into the CD-drive. If the setup
doesnt start automatically, execute setup.exe in the root
folder of the installation CD. After the installation starts,
select the software that you prefer to install and follow the
instructions to complete the installation.
NOTE: If you dont have an existing SQL Server instance
(PCMSERVER) already installed when installing PCM600,
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express edition will be installed.
The SQL Server requires Windows Installer 4.5 and .NET
Framework 3.5 SP1, which will also be installed (on
Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista). Windows Installer 4.5
requires a reboot. Installation of PCM600 Ver. 2.3 can only
be made as a standalone installation.
Installation requires administrator rights. In all versions of
Windows it might be necessary to switch off or configure
antivirus software to not block the installation and operation
of PCM600 (e.g. McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention).
Prerequisites for using PCM600 Ver. 2.3
To operate with PCM600, there must be at least one IED
Connectivity Package installed and selected to be used with
PCM600 Ver. 2.3.

Upgrading from PCM600 Ver. 1.5 SP2
PCM600 Ver. 1.5 and PCM600 2.3 can be used on the
same computer, but if you only want to use PCM600 Ver.
2.3, please uninstall PCM600 Ver. 1.5 before installing
PCM600 Ver. 2.3. The Communication Connectivity
Packages can also be uninstalled. Before uninstalling
PCM600 Ver. 1.5, make an export or backup of the projects.
When opening the projects in PCM600 Ver. 2.3, the projects
will be converted automatically.
In order to migrate IED 670 configuration from PCM600 Ver.
1.5 to 2.3, please refer to the document 9ARD173037-013
User Manual for Migrating PCM 1.5 Configuration to PCM
2.1 Configuration for 670 IEDs.
NOTE: If both PCM600 Ver. 1.5 SP2 and PCM600 Ver. 2.3
are to be installed on the same computer, PCM600 Ver. 1.5
SP2 must be installed before PCM600 Ver. 2.3.
Upgrading from PCM600 Ver. 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2
PCM600 Ver. 2.x (including Service Packs) will be
automatically upgraded when installing PCM600 Ver. 2.3.
Changing SQL Server
It is possible to change the SQL Server from SQL Server
2000 (from a previous installation of PCM600) to SQL
Server Express 2008, or vice versa, using a setup utility that
is included on the CD. To launch the utility, insert the CD
into the PC where you want to change the SQL Server,
browse to the directory SQLSERVER on the CD, doubleclick the file SQLInstaller.exe and follow the instructions.
Before doing this, make an export or backup of projects.
NOTE: As of April 8, 2008, Microsoft has retired mainstream
support of SQL Server 2000. It is not compatible with
Windows Vista, Windows 7 or later operating systems.
