EnglishProtocol Implementation
Kalkitech has completed a number of protocol implementation projects for various OEMS, including implementation of new protocol stacks, upgrading the legacy devices by adding new communication interfaces etc. The team takes complete responsibility of the protocol implementation including design of native interfaces in customer devices, development of the required configuration tool , implementation of protocol stack and final certification from any external testing agency. Kalkitech has been actively working with various standards bodies worldwide and has strong domain knowledge in Energy and Power Industry. The Integration services team of Kalkitech utilizes this rich experience in implementing protocol stacks and developing communication interfaces.
Support Documents
Kalkitech does implementation for the protocols like DLMS, IEC 61850, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104 and proprietary protocols. The salient features of the protocol implementation for each protocol are listed below:
DLMS
- Implemented using Kalkitech DLMS Source code library
- The Deliverables include DLMS driver designed to run on customer device, Design documentation and User manual
- Meter Communication Interface and Meter Reading Software
- Certification assistance
IEC 61850
- Developed using SISCO Stack
- IEC 61850 Communication Server interface allows the customer device to communicate as IEC 61850 server
- IEC 61850 Communication Client interface allows the customer application (SCADA, DCS ...) to communicate to a IEC 61850 servers
- Enables support for ACSI services and GOOSE/GSSE
- Enables sampled value publishing and subscription
- Conformance certificate from third party testing agency like CPRI, KEMA..
- Auto configuration support for IEC 61850 Client
- Custom user interface also developed to integrate configuration handling
DNP3
- Implemented using TMW Source code library
- The Deliverables include DNP3 driver designed to run on customer device, Windows based Configuration utility which generates the configuration and mapping file, Design documentation and User manual
IEC 60870-5-101/103/104
- Implemented using TMW Source code library
- The Deliverables include IEC 60870(IEC 101,103,104) driver designed to run on customer device, Windows based Configuration utility which generates the configuration and mapping file, Design documentation and User manual
- Use of industry proven source code libraries
- Support for standard protocols and proprietary protocols
- Extensive use of test tools for verification
- Optional conformance testing for implemented protocols
- User friendly configuration application for the protocol driver integration
