SmartGridware® IEC 61850 IED Simulator

Browser based Multi-user/Multi-IED Simulator

Product Overview

The SmartGridware® IEC 61850 IED Simulator is a browser based IED server simulator. It runs as a web server on the local system and provideds a browser based graphical user interface that can be accessed both from the local system or remote systems for the simulation of IEC 61850 Server instances. It provides support for the standard ACSI Services as defined in the IEC 61850-8-1 MMS client/server as well as GOOSE/GSE profile.

Platform Requirements

GOOSE and Sampled Value Requirements:

GOOSE and/or Sampled Value components are supported for Windows, Linux and MacOS with the following requirements :

Windows GOOSE/SV Requirements

Java SE Development Kit Version 1.8 or newer (See above)

WinPCAP Packet Capture Library (See: www.winpcap.org)

MacOSX/Linux GOOSE/SV Requirements
