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 what parameters exist, which data format is used, the units,
the setting range, the 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.

PCM600 projects
A typical project in PCM600 contains a plant structure including one or several IED
objects, where each IED object contains the engineering data created or modified using
the different PCM600 tools.
Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, but only one project can be
active at a time.
With PCM600, it is possible to do various tasks.
