ICCP Adapter Overview
The Oracle Utilities Network Management System ICCP Adapter integrates the Oracle Utilities Network Management System with a remote SCADA system through the Inter-control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP). Oracle offers two versions of an ICCP adapter. One Oracle ICCP adapter (TMW ICCP Adapter) uses ICCP libraries from Triangle MicroWorks (TMW) and can interface directly to a 3rd-party SCADA system that supports the ICCP protocol. The other Oracle ICCP adapter (LiveData ICCP Adapter) does not directly speak ICCP, but instead interfaces to a LiveData 3rd-party ICCP server using LiveData proprietary APIs, which then interfaces to the SCADA system that supports the ICCP protocol.
Note: TMW ICCP Adapter includes the TWM libraries bundled in. The LiveData ICCP Adapter requires the use of a LiveData Server that must be separately licensed from LiveData, Inc. For additional details on the LiveData Server, please refer to LiveData documentation.
ICCP is a standard interface protocol that can be used with Oracle Utilities Network Management System to provide data exchange with remote and local SCADA systems. ICCP is also an international standard: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Telecontrol Application Service Element 2 (TASE.2).
ICCP allows the exchange of real-time and historical power system monitoring and control data, including measured values, scheduling data, energy accounting data, and operator messages. Data exchange can occur between:
The ICCP standard consists of the following blocks:
