SmartGridware® Java Mini61850™ Client/Server SDK

Minimalist IEC 61850 Software Development Kit

Product Overview

The SmartGridware® Mini61850™ Client/Server API is a simplified, 'minimalist' API and simulation suite which implements the IEC 61850 protocol for both client and server role applications. It is well suited to:

  • simple simulation of IEC 61850 Servers
  • simple simulation of IEC 61850 clients
  • rapid prototyping of IEC 61850 applications
  • implementing IEC 61850 test applications
  • implementing simple IEC 61850 servers
  • adding customization to IEC 61850 simulators.
  • implementing simple client and server applications



Product Features

 

The Mini61850™ API 'wraps' the full-blown SmartGridware® IEC 61850 Client/Server APIs in order to hide the complexity inherent in the object model, data types and service interface. The resulting interface has a small fraction of the number of classes/methods while maintaining much of the same functionality. While not all functionality is accessible through the minimalist API it is still sufficient for a most simple IEC 61850 applications.

  • simple data value callback interface
  • simple data change listener interface
  • support for many CDC behaviors and data simulation
  • ACSI data model interfaces
  • IEC61850-7-2 Model Service

Client and Server API Examples

The following examples show how to configure and customize the SmartGridware® Java Mini61850™ Client/Server SDK (click to view):



Mini61850™ Server Initialization

  Mini61850Api api = new Mini61850Api();


   // -- 
   // -- Create a new server instance with the provided options... 
   // -- 
   Mini61850Server server = api.newServer("-scl:strict SGWDeviceA1.icd -xt MySim ;

   server.startServer();
         

Server API Association Example


   // -- Attach an association listener to handle new associations 
   // -- and association changes

   server.setAssocHandler(new AssocHandler()
   {
      // -- authenticate an incoming association request using authentication 
      // -- info if provided. throw an exception to deny an association request.
     public String authenticate(AssocHandle assoc, 
                                String auth_info) throws MiniServiceException
      {
         System.out.println("[authenticate]:"+assoc+",auth-info:"+auth_info);
         return null;
      }

      // -- invoked when an association state changes. 
      public void associationChanged(AssocHandle assoc)
      {
         System.out.println("[association]["+assoc.getStatus()+"]:"+assoc);
      }
   });

         

Server Control Handler

      // -- 
  // -- Set an Operation handler to process test/operate states on controls
  // -- 
  server.setOpHandler(new OpHandler()
  {
     // -- performTest is invoked for PARAMETER, INTERLOCKING, SYNCHRO tests. 
     // --
     public boolean performTest(Op op, Object ctl_val, 
                                OPTEST op_test) throws MiniControlException
     {
        System.out.println(op+"[perform-test]:"+op_test+"/ctl-val="+ctl_val);
        // -- May throw a MiniControlException for failed tests
        return false; // tell the API to also perform default tests
     }

     // -- performOperate is invoked to operate the control once all tests 
     // -- have passed. If the operate fails, the MiniControlException may 
     // -- be thrown to notify the failure for enhanced security operations. 
     public Object performOperate(Op op, Object ctl_val) 
                                  throws MiniControlException
  
     {
        System.out.println(op+"[perform-operate]OPERATE/ctl-val="+ctl_val);

        // -- perform actual output control here... 
        return ctl_val;
     }
     // -- Setting the control handler for multiple controls
  }, "ExGGIO1.AnOut1", "ExGGIO1.SPCS01");

         

Server API Model Access

   // -- Get a NodeHandle that represents the ExGGIO1 LN
   NodeHandle exggio1_handle = server.getNodeHandle("ExGGIO1");

   // -- print out ExGGIO1 structure
   System.out.println(exggio1_handle);

   // -- get and print the instMag value
   int current_mx_val = server.getNumber("ExGGIO1.AnIn1.instMag").intValue();
   System.out.println("ExGGIO1.AnIn1.instMag: " + current_mx_val);

   NodeHandle lln0_handle = server.getNodeHandle("SGWDeviceA1/LLN0");
   NodeHandle alm1_handle = server.getNodeHandle("ExGGIO1.Alm1");
   // -- iterate over Alm1's children and print out child value
   for (NodeHandle child : alm1_handle.getChildren())
   {
      System.out.println("  child[" + child.getName() + "] == " 
                          + child.getValueNotation());
   }
         

Mini61850™ Client Initialization

   Mini61850Api api = new Mini61850Api();

   // -- Create a new Client initialized from the provided ICD file. This will
   // -- populate the data structures in the local memory for API access. 
   // --    -scl <scl-filename> : The SCL filename
   // --    -retry <period>    : set the association retry period 
   Mini61850Client client =  api.newClient(
            "-scl SGWDeviceA1.icd -retry 5s -cli -a 'user#admin passwd#pass'");

         

Client GetNameList & GetData Values Example


   // -- Get list of all data names from the Server
   List<String> data_names = client.performGetDirectory(DIRTYPE.DATA);
   System.out.println("DATA: " + data_names);


   // -- perform a GetDataValues on all LNs in the Server
   // -- to refresh the values in the local model 
   client.performGet);

         

Client Association and RCB Reservations

   // -- Attach a listener to the client to receive changes in association status
   // -- The listener will be invoked immediately if the association is already up.
   client.setAssocListener(new AssocListener()
   {
      public void associationChanged(AssocHandle assoc)
      {
         if (assoc.getStatus() == ASSOC_STATUS.UP)
         {
            // -- refresh the local data and reserve RCB(s)
            try
            {
               // -- refresh ALL the local data mode through GetDataValues
               // -- requests again the server
               assoc.getClient().performGet();

               // -- reserve RCBs to get events. 
               String rcb = assoc.getClient().performReserveRCB(true,
                                               "ExGGIO1.IOValues");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
               System.out.println("Cannot refresh/reserve RCB: " + ex);
            }
         }
      }
   });

         

Client Change Listener

   // -- Attach a change listener to the client for the specified LD. 
   client.addChangeListener(new StringChangeListener()
   {
      // -- invoked for each leaf node change received from server
      public void valueChanged(NodeHandle reg_node,
                               NodeHandle chg_node,
                               String old_value,
                               String new_value)
      {
         System.out.println("[changed][" + chg_node.getReference()+"]: "
                 + old_value + " ==> " + new_value);
      }
   }, "SGWDeviceA1");
         

Client SetDataValues Example


   NodeHandle exggio1 = client.getNodeHandle("ExGGIO1");

   // -- set some values on the server
   Map<String, Object> set_result = exggio1.performSet(
           "AnOut1.minVal", 90,
           "AnOut1.maxVal", 1000,
           "AnOut1.stepSize", 80);

         

Data Value Accessors

   // -- Use the NodeHandle API to get some values and print them out. 

   NodeHandle lln0 = client.getNodeHandle("LLN0");

   String beh = lln0.getString("Beh.stVal");
   int beh_int = lln0.getNumber("Beh.stVal").intValue();

   String health = lln0.getString("Health.stVal");
   int health_int = lln0.getNumber("Health.stVal").intValue();

   System.out.println("\nLLN0.Beh:   "+beh+"("+beh_int+")\n");
   System.out.println("\nLLN0.Health:"+health+"("+health_int+")\n");

         

Client Operate Control

   try
   {
      // -- operate the AnOut1 control to change the mxVal
      exggio1.performOperate("AnOut1", 100,
                              OPFLAG.INTERLOCKING, OPFLAG.SYNCHRO);
   }
   catch (MiniException ex)
   {
      System.out.println("ERROR: " + ex);
   }
