IEC61850 C/C++ South plugin

A simple asynchronous IEC61850 plugin that pulls data from a server and sends it to Fledge.

(use 'Drawio' -https://draw.io- for updating this diagram)

To build this plugin, you will need the libiec61850 library installed on your environment as described below.

You also need to have Fledge installed from the source code, not from the package repository.

Installing the build dependencies

Install dependencies with the Distribution package manager

RapidJson

• for Debian:

$ sudo apt-get install rapidjson-dev

GoogleTest and Gcovr (for Unit Tests only)

• for Debian:

$ sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev libgmock-dev gcovr

Libiec61850 (IEC61850 protocol stack)

To build IEC61850 C/C++ South plugin, you need to download libiec61850 at: https://github.com/mz-automation/libiec61850

$ git clone https://github.com/mz-automation/libiec61850.git
$ cd libiec61850

Then, you can build and install libiec61850 with:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=NO -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=NO ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

Build

To build Fledge IEC 61850 C++ South plugin:

To build a release:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make

To build with unit tests and code coverage:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Coverage ..
$ make

• By default the Fledge develop package header files and libraries are expected to be located in /usr/include/fledge and /usr/lib/fledge
• If FLEDGE_ROOT env var is set and no -D options are set, the header files and libraries paths are pulled from the ones under the FLEDGE_ROOT directory. Please note that you must first run 'make' in the FLEDGE_ROOT directory.

You may also pass one or more of the following options to cmake to override this default behaviour:

• FLEDGE_SRC sets the path of a Fledge source tree
• FLEDGE_INCLUDE sets the path to Fledge header files
• FLEDGE_LIB sets the path to Fledge libraries
• FLEDGE_INSTALL sets the installation path of Random plugin

NOTE:

• The FLEDGE_INCLUDE option should point to a location where all the Fledge header files have been installed in a single directory.
• The FLEDGE_LIB option should point to a location where all the Fledge libraries have been installed in a single directory.
• 'make install' target is defined only when FLEDGE_INSTALL is set

Examples:

• no options

  $ cmake ..

• no options and FLEDGE_ROOT set

  $ export FLEDGE_ROOT=/some_fledge_setup

  $ cmake ..

• set FLEDGE_SRC

  $ cmake -DFLEDGE_SRC=/home/source/develop/Fledge ..

• set FLEDGE_INCLUDE

  $ cmake -DFLEDGE_INCLUDE=/dev-package/include ..

• set FLEDGE_LIB

  $ cmake -DFLEDGE_LIB=/home/dev/package/lib ..

• set FLEDGE_INSTALL

  $ cmake -DFLEDGE_INSTALL=/home/source/develop/Fledge ..

  $ cmake -DFLEDGE_INSTALL=/usr/local/fledge ..

Using the plugin

As described in the Fledge documentation, you can use the plugin by adding a service from the web API:

• On the web API, go to the South tab
• Click on "Add +"
• Select iec61850 and give it a name, then click on "Next"
• Change the default settings to your settings, then click on "Next"
• Let the "Enabled" option checked, then click on "Done"
