COMPROTware:Library

COMPROTware:Library is a library (protocol stack) of components which implements different transmission protocols, as well as modules for safe event handling, for message queues, circular buffer etc.

COMPROTware:Library is aimed at system integrators, who by using the library reduce the development time of a protocol implementation and wish to dramatically shorten the integration and verification phase. This is possible because the central components (link layer for safe transmission, event handling, ...) already operate reliably.

The advantage of the application of our library is that the protocol implementations have already demonstrated that they work tough in field. The integration in various devices and its associated verification have made sure that the library reached a very high level, in terms of standard comformance and quality.

The system integrator shortens his time to market, and expands his ability to insert his own core competence in his device, through the use of COMPROTware:Library

In addition to the library we offer our support in the integration of COMPROTware:Library into your device, of course.

Additional Information ...

Component library of transmission protocols to integrate into a data concentrator/front-end, in an IED (Intelligent End Device) or an RTU (Remote Terminal Unit).
The library is implemented independently from a device or operating system. The resulting object code´s fingerprint fits the requirements for an embedded application.
Implemented are the following transmission protocols:
- Master (Controlling Station)
  - IEC 60870-5-101 Ed.2.1 (2015) Master (option Partyline sold separately)
  - IEC 60870-5-103 Master (option Partyline sold separately)
  - IEC 60870-5-104 Ed.2.1 (2016) Master
  - DNP3/IEEE 1815 serial Master
  - DNP3/IEEE 1815 over LAN/WAN Master
  - MODBUS serial Master
  - MODBUS TCP/IP Master
- Slave (Controlled Station)
  - IEC 60870-5-101 Ed.2.1 (2015) Slave (option File transfer sold separately)
  - IEC 60870-5-103 Slave
  - IEC 60870-5-104 Ed.2.1 (2016) Slave (options File transfer and Redundancy Groups sold separately)
  - IEC 61400-25 mapping to IEC 60870-5-104 Slave
  - DNP3/IEEE 1815 serial Slave
  - DNP3/IEEE 1815 over LAN/WAN Slave
  - MODBUS serial Slave
  - MODBUS TCP/IP Slave
- Additional protocols are being processed. We implement customer specific protocols upon request.
The source code is complaint with ISO C99 standard and prepared for C++ projects. The source code is commented. Comprehensible variables and function names are used.
Network-based protocols may use TCP/IP and/or UDP/IP via IPv4 and/or IPv6 for receiving and transmitting information.
All Master and Slave implementations of our serial line-based protocol stacks can alternatively communicate via a transparent or an RFC 2217-compliant TCP/IP connection with a TCP/IP serial gateway.
All Master and Slave implementations of our TCP/IP-based protocol stacks support TLS-secured connections according to IEC 62351-3.
The library is built in modular form. The design follows the principles of modern object oriented programming transferred to the functional programming language ISO C99.
The library itself is closed and complete. An example application of a simple target device under MS Windows 7, 8.1, 10, 11 and PC Linux 4, 5, 6 is included in the delivery. Additionally the source code is prepared for use under Solaris and VxWorks.
For some protocols an API for .NET with function bindings for Microsoft .NET and/or an API for Java with function bindings for Java is implemented.
Telephone support (during normal company opening hours) for the library (not for its integration) is included for the first year.

Versions

MS Win32-Dll or PC Linux-Shared Library (Shlib) with Hardware Key for license control is the most inexpensive version.
- All implemented Master and Slave protocols are available concurrently via a general license.
- The API for .NET and the API for Java are included.
- License control is implemented by a Hardware Key (dongle), the computer with the Hardware Key plugged in has the license.
- The delivery consists of the Dll/Shlib for all implemented Master and Slave protocols, a Hardware Key (dongle) with the license code for all Master and Slave protocols, all example applications and the documentation on an installation media.
MS Win32-Dll or PC Linux-Shared Library (Shlib) with Software Key for license control: Ideal for virtualized environments.
- Each Master und Slave protocol is licensed separately.
- The API for .NET and the API for Java are included.
- The license is neither bound to a Hardware Key nor to a computer, it can be used on any number of computers, even in a virtualized production environment.
- The delivery consists of the Dll/Shlib for the requested Master or Slave protocol, a Software Key with protocol list, licensee and license key, the example application and the documentation on an installation media.
ISO C99 source code for the integration in your own devices.
- Each Master und Slave protocol is licensed separately.
- The API for .NET and the API for Java are included.
- The license is neither bound to a Hardware Key nor to a device, it can be used on any number of devices.
- The delivery consists of the ISO C99 source code for the licensed protocol, the example application and the documentation on an installation media.

System Requirements

The MS Win32-Dll is available for the Microsoft operating systems MS Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and 11. Depending on the operating system, a standard PC with 1GHz processor or faster and 1GB RAM or more is needed.
The PC Linux-Shared Library (Shlib) is available for different PC Linux distributions (SuSE, Debian, ...). Depending on the operating system, a standard PC with Pentium 200MHz or faster and 64MB or more is needed.
The ISO C99 source code is prepared for porting to real-time platforms.
(The library source code is only delivered to countries in the European Union and Switzerland.)
