The whole substation can be controlled and different tasks and functions can be
performed with the individual tool components. PCM600 can operate with many
different topologies, depending on the customer needs.
For more information, refer to PCM600 documentation.
1.2.1
Connectivity packages
A connectivity package is a software component that consists of executable code
and data which enables system tools to communicate with an IED. Connectivity
packages are used to create configuration structures in PCM600. The latest
PCM600 and connectivity packages are backward compatible with older IED
versions.
A connectivity package includes all of the data which is used to describe the IED.
For example, it contains a list of the existing parameters, data format used, units,
setting range, access rights and visibility of the parameter. In addition, it contains
code which allows software packages that consume the connectivity package to
properly communicate with the IED. It also allows for localization of text even when
its read from the IED in a standard format such as COMTRADE.
Update Manager is a tool that helps in defining the right connectivity package
versions for different system products and tools. Update Manager is included with
products that use connectivity packages.

This manual
The operation manual contains instructions on how to operate the IED once it has
been commissioned. The manual provides instructions for monitoring, controlling
and setting the IED. The manual also describes how to identify disturbances and
how to view calculated and measured power grid data to determine the cause of a
fault.
1.3.1
Intended audience
This manual addresses the operator, who operates the IED on a daily basis.
The operator must be trained in and have a basic knowledge of how to operate
