IEC61850 Protocol Library

iec61850 protocol library

Source Code Library (libIEC61850)

The IEC 61850 source code library enables a rapid and cost-effective implementation of IEC 61850 protocols (MMS, GOOSE, Sampled Values) into devices and applications. The APIs are designed to be very user-friendly. The core library is written in C (C99 compliant to ensure maximum portability). The hardware and platform-independent design allows seamless deployment on any platform.

Commercial License

For integration in commercial products a commercial license is required. With the commercial license you can develop and distribute your own closed source applications. In addition to the open-source version the commercial version also includes SCL/SCD/CID file parsers implemented in C and C#/.NET. With these parsers you can easily create server data models and configuration directly from SCL files. The commercial license is also required to get professional support and maintenance services. Buy some commercial license of IEC61850 Protocol Library and get the SCL Viewer for FREE.

Open Source Version (Non Commercial Use)

The open-source version includes all essential parts of the library, including MMS client/server, GOOSE publisher/subscriber, and SMV publisher/subscriber. Also included are tools to convert SCL files into C source code, or server configuration files, and several examples for client and server applications. The open-source version is intended to be used for testing or research purposes only. You can use the open-source version to get started, learn about the protocols and applications and as a base for your own GPLv3 compliant open-source applications.
