IEC 61850 Protocol Library
Source Code Library (libIEC61850)
The IEC 61850 source code library enables a rapid and cost-effective implementation of IEC 61850 protocol (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. We offer free trial licenses. Please contact us for more information.
