IEC 60870-6 (ICCP)

URL:      http://www.iec.ch/cgi-bin/procgi.pl/www/iecwww.p?wwwlang=E&wwwprog=dirwg.p&ctnum=1186

The IEC60870-6 Telecontrol Application Service Element 2 (TASE.2) protocol (informally known as the InterControl Center Communications Protocol (ICCP)) was developed by IEC TC57 WG07 for data exchange over Wide Area Networks (WANs) between a utility control center and other control centers, other utilities, power plants and substations.

TASE.2 (ICCP) is used in almost every utility for inter-control center communications between SCADA and/or EMS systems. It is supported by most vendors of SCADA and EMS systems.

Since it was first developed in the mid 1990's before object models had been developed for SCADA applications, TASE.2 (ICCP) was not designed to support the transfer of different types of object models, beyond those defined in Part 802. 

The TASE.2 protocol allows for data exchange over Wide Area Networks (WANs) between a utility control center and other control centers, other utilities, power plants and substations.

·       60870-6-503 Services and Protocol - This part of IEC 60870 defines a mechanism for exchanging time-critical data between control centers. In addition, it provides support for device control, general messaging and control of programs at a remote control center. It defines a standardized method of using the ISO 9506 Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) services to implement the exchange of data. The definition of TASE.2 consists of three documents. This part of IEC 60870 defines the TASE.2 application modeling and service definitions.

·       60870-6-602 Transport Protocols - This Technical Report describes the Transport Profiles for the IEC 60870-6 Series over WAN with Reference to International Standardized Profiles (ISP’s) used by distributed SCADA/EMS applications in control centers, power plants and substations. The Transport Profiles use virtually any standard or de-facto standard (including TCP/IP) connection-mode and connectionless-mode network services over any type of transmission media.

·       60870-6-702 Profiles - This specification defines the Application Profile (Layers 5-7) for use with ICCP. It is needed for vendors implementing protocol stacks that support the ICCP application layer. Most users of ICCP will not be concerned with this specification.

·       60870-6-802 Object Model - This part of IEC 60870 proposes object models from which to define object instances. The object models represent objects for transfer. The local system may not maintain a copy of every attribute of an object instance.
