IEC 61850 Software
Fundamentals’ IEC 61850 software has been designed to suit the needs and requirements of the electric utility industry to enable easier implementation of IEC 61850 in substation control and automation applications.
Overview
IEC 61850 communication protocol can be challenging to implement as it requires integration of the underlying protocols (MMS, GOOSE, Sampled Values) with complex process and control logic layers of IEC 61850. Fundamentals’ IEC 61850 stack integrates these layers together and provide an easy to use API so our customers can easily implement IEC 61850 server or client functionality into their own applications.
Our stack is very easy to use that when given a CID file users can have an IEC 61850 server running on their platform with just a few (Application Programming Interface) API function calls which include reporting and GOOSE functionality. The API provides a significant reduction in time to market for our customers’ IEC 61850 applications and improves the usability for software developers and engineers alike.
It is portable to various linux and windows platforms and has been implemented across the world.
