Connectivity packages

A connectivity package is a software component that consists of executable code and
data which enable system tools to communicate with a protection relay. Connectivity
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 the software packages that use the connectivity package to
properly communicate with the protection relay.

Modification Sales

Modification Sales is a concept that provides modification support for already
delivered relays. Under Modification Sales it is possible to modify both the hardware
and software capabilities of the existing relay. The same options are available as when
a new relay variant is configured and ordered from the factory: it is possible to add new
hardware modules into empty slots, change the type of the existing modules within the
slots or add software functions by adding application and, if necessary, add-on
packages. If it is needed to use the possibilities provided by the Modification Sales
concept, please contact your local ABB unit.
