Our Source Code Libraries are used by equipment vendors to cost-effectively implement these protocols
directly in the target hardware. They are available either as
ANSI Standard C Source Code Libraries,
.NET Protocol components, and in some cases
C++.
Our testing tools are used to verify, troubleshoot, and simulate standard communication protocols:
Communication Protocol Test Harness
- A Windows™ application to simulate and test DNP3, IEC60870-5, and Modbus
devices with protocol analyzer and optional DNP3 conformance test scripts
61850 Test Suite Pro
- A Windows™ application with multiple tools for testing IEDs in the lab, performing troubleshooting, and assisting with the commissioning process
SCL Navigator
- A tool for editing, viewing and verifying System Configuration Description Language
(SCL) files and creating IED Capability Description (ICD) template files
Iron
- A tool for the creation of clients and servers IEC 60870-6 (TASE.2/ICCP)
Distributed Test Manager (DTM)
- A tool that simulates multiple devices using multiple protocols. This tool can be used to automate testing of HMIs, RTUs, and IEDs or to perform network load testing.
The SCADA Data Gateway is a Windows™ or Linux application that is used to integrate devices into SCADA systems. It includes the ability to translate protocols and collect data from multiple devices using DNP3, IEC 60870*5, OPC, Modbus, IEC 60870-6 (TASE.2/ICCP), ODBC, and IEC 61850.
