Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of standards based communications software for distribution automation. Design of a simple application to communicate with a program in control of sampling of an AC waveform and controlling a switch are detailed. The software developed provides one possible implementation of a standard communication method for communication between a central station and remote controllers. The software has been built using an EPRI Utility Communications Architecture (UCA) component called Manufacturing Messaging Service (MMS)
