PCM600 projects

A typical project in PCM600 contains a plant structure including one or several SAM600 system
objects, where each SAM600 system object contains the engineering data created or modified
using different PCM600 tools.
Several projects can be created and managed by PCM600, whereas only one project can be
active at a time. Several types of SAM600 systems can be managed in one PCM600 project.

Connectivity packages and modules

A Connectivity Package contains the complete description of a SAM600 system data signals,
parameters and protocol addresses for a certain SAM600 system type.
The SAM600 system module contains the specific SAM600 system version type data and
communication interface description.
In the PCM600 Update Manager, the Connectivity Package, SAM600 system module and
product documentation are available.
The following procedure is recommended for installing Connectivity Packages and SAM600
system modules.
1. Close PCM600 before running a SAM600 system Connectivity Package installation
2. Install a SAM600 system series Connectivity Package base
3. Select and install the required SAM600 system modules

Building a plant structure

A plant structure is used to identify each SAM600 system in its location within the substation
organization. It is a geographical image of the substation and the bays within the substation.

Setting up a project

Install PCM600 before installing the Connectivity Packages. After installing
Connectivity Packages, install the required SAM600 system modules.
PCM600 version 2.8 Hot Fix 20180626 or newer must be used with SAM600
version 1.2.0.
SAM600 Connectivity Package also installs an USB driver.
Documentation will be installed with the Connectivity packages and SAM600
system modules; a separate installer is not provided.
