2010-09-02 Version 1.01 This version just uses several different zip files instead of one big file. This version contains the project for Visual Studio 2008. The wait for a FREE IEC 61850/61400-25 Evaluation/Starter Kit is over - here it is for immediate use. Congratulation! SystemCorp (Perth, Australia) and NettedAutomation offer an IEC 61850/61400-25 DLL (Dynamic Link Library) and three Application examples using the DLL: - C Server Application (simple Console) in <> - C Client Application (simple Console) in <> - .Net Client Application (runs under XP, Vista, Windows 7) in <> The package contains executable software and the source code of the C and .Net Applications (projects). You can use these applications and modify them according to your needs. NOTE 1: The Clients and the server run on ONE machine (localhost). If you want to run the server on one machine and the clients on another you have to configure both (client and server)! This is done by modifying the ICD files that are in the same folders where the client/server executables are located. Read the Documentation for details! NOTE 2: To see information communicated by GOOSE messages at the client you have to install WinPcap driver (latest version is 4.1.1 or so / http://www.winpcap.org). And you have to have your Ethernet adapter active and running - any other adapter like WiFi MUST be off and disabled!! NOTE 3: To trace the messages exchanged between Client/Server (Publisher/Subscriber) you have to run them on different machines. Then you can trace the traffic, e.g. with Wireshark. The folder <> ----------------------------------------------- contains <> Run this installation program first ... follow the instructions. Before you start the server and client (launchapp.bat) it is recommended to read first the <> in the Documentation folder; this folder is generated through installation. The folder <> -------------------------------------------------- contains the folder <> This starts the .Net GUI client. NOTE 4: The server must run before the client is started. NOTE 5: You may also use the IEDScout (Omicron, free demo version) and browse the server. This is quite convenient - but the Browser cannot be used to connect to a client application! NOTE 6: This Evaluation/Starter Kit requires basic understanding of IEC 61850 Information Models, Information Exchange Serices, and Configuration Language!! NOTE 7: The server uses the same Information Model as the BECK IPC Development Kit DK61. The DK61 is a platform to run IEC 61850/61400-25 in real-time - for real-time applications! The PIS10 runs also on the DK61 (Beck Chip). Both have the same simple Stack API. The folder <> ----------------------------------------------- contains the c# sources and a Visual Studio 2008 project. The folder <> ------------------- contains several useful documents/papers. We offer new services for the integration of the PIS10 stack (DLL, ...) into your application --------------------------------------------------- We offer implementation support provided by our experienced application programmer: Andreas Pfefferle, Karlsruhe, Germany. Andreas is familiar with Substation Automation, RTUs, IEC 60870-5-10x, protocol integration, ... SystemCorp PIS10-Stack API and many other domains.
