Overview
This document specifies how implementations of IEC 61968 may be made interoperable using common enterprise integration technologies. In particular, it describes how message payloads defined in IEC 61968 (Parts 3 to 9 and Part 13), IEC 61970 and IEC 62325 are to be exchanged between systems using transport mechanisms such as web services and the Java Message Service. This International Standard provides normative definitions for: - a set of message archetypes; - a set of message exchange patterns that both sending and receiving systems are expected to implement; - the exact format of the messages that are to be transmitted over the various integration technologies including a precise description of the information that each message must contain; - a set of constraints and conventions to which applications must adhere in order to facilitate message exchange using IEC 61968-100; - the details of how IEC 61968-100 messages should be implemented using various underlying transport mechanisms. Security considerations lie outside the scope of IEC 61968-100. This document defers to the IEC 62351 series for definitions and practices relating to the secure transmission of messages. The standard differs from DIN EN 61968-100:2014-08 as follows: a) IEC 61968-100:2021 has been revised to eliminate ambiguities and redundancies. Informative and normative clauses are identified as such, and in the latter case appropriate verbal forms of language are used; b) the messages defined by IEC 61968-100:2021 are generally not backward compatible with those from IEC 61968-100:2013. Annex I contains the essential technical changes introduced since the publication of IEC 61968-100:2013 and provides appropriate suggestions for migration to IEC 61968-100:2021. IEC 61968-100:2021 contains normative definitions for the use of SOAP web services (Subclause 9.2) and Java message services (Subclause 9.3) for message transport. Future editions of IEC 61968-100 may specify additional normative web service technologies such as REST.
