How to open PCMT file?
An often recurring problem with ABB PCM600 Template IED is that PCMT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PCMT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PCMT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install PCM600
In this case, you should first verify that the PCM600 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PCM600 into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PCMT with PCM600. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PCMT files.
Programs to open PCMT file
Remember to download programs supporting PCMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PCM600 with PCMT files
If, despite the installed application, the PCMT file does not start in the PCM600 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PCMT file with the PCM600 application.
Step 3. Update PCM600 to the latest version
If, however, after binding PCM600 with ABB PCM600 Template IED there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ABB Group page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PCMT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PCMT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PCMT file. However, remember that not every infected PCMT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PCMT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PCMT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use ABB Group help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PCMT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PCMT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PCMT file again. However, some background programs may block the PCMT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
