3.1
Connectivity packages
A Connectivity package is a software component that consists of executable code
and dta which enables IEC 61850 system tools to communicate with a SAM600
system. Connectivity packages are used to create configuration structures in
PCM600.
A connectivity package includes all the data which is used to describe the IED. For
example, it contains a list of the existing parameters, data format used, as well as
units and visibility settings of the parameter. In addition, it contains code which
allows software packages that consume the connectivity package to properly
communicate with the SAM600 system.
Update Manager is a tool that helps in selecting the right connectivity package
versions for different system products and tools. Update Manager include products
that use connectivity packages. Update Manager is a part of the PCM600
installation.
