Hi

I need to send frequency data to my SCADA system using OpenPDC or OpenHistorian, What is the best approach to connect OpenPDC or OpenHistorian to SCADA system? Anyone has implemented this connection?

How to use the interfaces disponible to establish this connection? Need I develop another connector?

Thanks

Not sure if you are asking about writing data into SCADA or reading data from SCADA - so the answer may depend somewhat on that answer, however, here are some basic options:

  • There is a DNP3 adapter (typically SCADA to openPDC)
  • There is a ICCP adapter (requires a license because of ICCP library)
  • If your SCADA system supports STTP, that would make things easy :slight_smile:
  • If you SCADA system has an API, an adapter could be written for data I/O
  • There are also ways to export CSV-type files on a schedule, some ICCP adapters support a CSV type-export on a schedule

Here is a list of most of the basic adapters: Grid Protection Alliance - TSL Adapter Categories

Thanks!
