Connecting to the PCM600 software
GUID-DD4CDCDE-8909-48EC-96EA-93B43FA106D1 v1
The software suite used for communicating to the IED is the PCM600. This tool
enables to read and modify the settings in the IED, and to view the events register,
disturbance recorder (oscillography), and other monitoring tasks.

When using PCM600 for writing to the IED, ensure that the LHMI
is not in a menu position where settings can be made. Only one
active transaction, from LHMI or PCM600, is allowed at a time.
With the individual tool components, you can perform different tasks and functions
and control the whole substation. PCM600 can operate with many different
topologies, depending on the customer needs.

Connectivity packages
GUID-D480127C-3F19-44A3-9A6F-A8549C02CDCD v2
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
