SmartGridware® Java IEC 61850 Server SDK

High Level Java API for IEC 61850 Server Software Development

Product Overview

The SmartGridware® Java IEC 61850 Server Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a high level ACSI (Abstract Communication Service Interface: IEC 61850-7-2) server side interface for implementing IEC 61850 compliant server applications in the Java programming language. All protocol specific details (e.g. MMS) are hidden such that the API user develops at the ACSI model layer without needing to understand the underlying communication protocol.




Product Features

 

The server framework provides built-in server role support for the common IEC 61850 ACSI services such that all the user application needs only to implement is the data access. Server initialization is performed through the loading of an SCL ICD file to provide all data definitions, initial data values, server addressing and configuration of some server behavior. In order to extend the server framework, the API user simply provides hooks into the data model to implement behavior such as control object behavior, on-demand data access, etc.

See some of the many features below:

  • initialized from SCL ICD file
  • text based authentication support
  • simple API representation of ACSI data model
  • built-in support for common ACSI services
  • automatic report generation
  • Protocol independent API, MMS details independent of interface
    • includes MMS protocol provider supported
    • other protocol mappings to be added (XML WebServices, etc)
  • API model interface hierarchy mirrors server data model
  • all model interface toString() methods generate user friendly format
  • ACSI data model interfaces:
    • Logical Device (LD),
    • Logical Node (LN),
    • Functional Contraint(FC),
    • Data Object (DO),
    • Data Attribute (DA),
    • DataSet,
    • Buffered Report Control Block (BRCB),
    • Unbuffered Report Control Block (URCB),
    • Control Objects

    • Server (GetServerDirectory)
    • Association (Associate, Abort, ...)
    • Logical Device (GetLogicalDeviceDirectory, ...)
    • Logical Node (GetAllDataValues, GetLogical Node Directory, ...)
    • Data (GetDataValues, SetDataValues, GetDataDirectory, ...)
    • Data Set (GetDataSetValues, SetDataSetValues, CreatedDataSet, ...)
    • Setting Group CB (SetActiveSG, SelectEditSG, ...);
    • Report Control Block (Report, GetBRCBValues, ...)
    • LOG Control Block (GetLCBBalues, SetLCBValues, ...)
    • GOOSE (GetGoCBValues, SetGoCBValues)
    • File Transfer (GetFile, SetFile, DeleteFile, ...)
    • Control (Select,SelectWithValue, Operate, ...)
  • Default CDC behavioral support for: APC, BCR, DPC, DPL,DPS,ENC,ENS, INC,INS,LPL,MV,ORG,SPC,SPG,SPS with more to come.
  • uses the SmartGridware™ Java MMS Stack as the MMS provider

Server API Examples

 

The following examples show some of the core components of the SmartGridware™ Java IEC 61850 Server API (click to view):



IEC 61850 Server Initialization

   // -- Create a new IEC61850 API instance
   IEC61850ServerApi api = IEC61850ServerApi.newInstance("mms");

   // -- Create a new IEC61850 server instance
   IEC61850Server server = api.newServer();

   ACSIServices services = new ACSIServices(
           ACSIServices.SERVICE.Basic,
           ACSIServices.SERVICE.GetFile,
           ACSIServices.SERVICE.GetDataValues,
           ACSIServices.SERVICE.SetDataValues);

   // -- Enable specified available ACSI services
   server.setServerServices(services);

   //--  Load in the provided ICD file
   server.loadSCL("MyDevice.icd");
   

   //-- Start listening on the associated ConnectedAPs
   server.startListening();
         

Data Model Traversal

   for (SvLD ld : server.getLDs())
   {
      System.out.println("LD: " + ld.getName());

      for (SvLN ln : ld.getLNs())
      {
         System.out.println("   LN: " + ln.getName());
         for (SvVDO vdo : ln.getVDOs())
         {
            System.out.println("      DO: " + vdo.getName());

            for (SvDA da : vdo.getDAs())
            {
               System.out.println("         DA: " + da.getName());
            }
            for (SvVDO cvdo : vdo.getVDOs())
            {
               System.out.println("         DO: " + vdo.getName());

               for (SvDA da : cvdo.getDAs())
               {
                  System.out.println("            DA: " + da.getName());
               }
            }
         }
      }
   }

         

Server Authentication Processor

 
   //--  check authentication info in incoming associations
   server.setAuthenticationListener(
              new IEC61850Server.AuthenticationListener()
   {
      @Override
      public AuthInfo authenticateAssociation(IEC61850Server server,
                                              ConnectedAP local_cap,
                                              ConnectedAP remote_cap,
                                              AuthInfo auth_info) 
                                                  throws ModelServiceException
      {
         try
         {
            String auth_value = (String) auth_info.getAuthValue();
            System.out.println("\n   [ authenticate-assoc ]:" + auth_value);

            // -- can perform authentication operation here, if authentication
            // -- fails, just throw an ModelServiceException
            // -- May return a response auth value as well.
            // -- for now, lets just return null
            // auth_info.setAuthValue(auth_value);
            // return auth_info;
            return null;
         }
         catch (Exception e)
         {
            throw new ModelServiceException("authentication failed");
         }
      }
   });

         

Server Data Change Listener


      SvLD default_ld = server.getDefaultLD();

      //-- Set up a change listener to print out changes to the data model
      default_ld.addChangeListener(new SvDataNode.ChangeListener()
      {
         public void dataChange(SvModelNode listener_node, 
                                SvDataNode.ChangeEvent event)
         {
            System.out.println("   [da-change]: "
                    + event.getDA().getObjectRef() + " :: "
                    + event.getOldValue() + " ==> " + event.getNewValue()
                    + "(" + event.getReasonCode() + ")");
         }
      });
