ICCP PLUS
Robust, Scalable ICCP-TASE.2 Integration for Any Application
ICCP PLUS (formerly ICCP Lite PLUS+) is a portable ICCP source code for the Intercontrol Center Communications Protocol (ICCP) per the IEC 60870-6 TASE.2 standards. It enables the application or device developer to develop robust, interoperable ICCP-TASE.2 applications and devices quickly using a field-proven implementation. ICCP PLUS provides everything needed to build ICCP-TASE.2 interfaces for large SCADA/EMS/DMS and demand aggregation applications. Yet, it is portable and efficient enough to scale down to a compact interface in an RTU or data concentrator for embedded applications using an RTOS. The ICCP standard is specifically designed for the efficient exchange of real-time data and control information between:
ENTERPRISES
Control center to control center communications in support of transmission system stability
Power plant dispatching
SCADA/EMS interface to data historians and other internal systems
Demand response signaling
