Introduction

Local human-machine interface LHMI is not supported in SAM600-IO. However, the user interface
functionality can be achieved using:
• Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600
• SAM600-IO LHMI service kit

PCM600 tool

Protection and Control IED Manager PCM600 offers all the necessary functionality to work
throughout all stages of the IED life cycle.
• Planning
• Engineering
• Commissioning
• Operation and disturbance handling
• Functional analysis
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

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 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. Update Manager is a part of PCM600 and is delivered with it.
