packages are used to create configuration structures in PCM600. The latest PCM600 and
connectivity packages are backward compatible with older protection relay versions.
A connectivity package includes all the data which is used to describe the protection relay.
For example, it contains a list of the existing parameters, data format used, units, setting
range, access rights and visibility of the parameters. In addition, it contains code which
allows software packages that use the connectivity package to properly communicate with
the protection relay. It also supports localization of text even when it is read from the
protection relay 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 the products that
use connectivity packages.
