ACSI-CORBA mapping

ACSI-CORBA mapping

The ACSI-CORBA mapping is a mapping from the standard IEC61850 abstract specification of communication service to a concrete communication infrastructure based on CORBA specifications. This mapping was submitted to the IEC Technical Committee in charge of the specification of other mappings (TC57).

This standard proposes an asbtract definition for electrical system communications for control and protection that is mapped into a set of different protocols. The Abstract Communication Service Interface (ACSI) specified by IEC 61850 needs to be mapped to a real (not abstract) Specific Communication Service to be usable by application developers.

This mapping of IEC 61850 ACSI to CORBA defines how the concepts, objects and services of ACSI can be implemented using CORBA distributed objects technology, allowing interoperability among substation functions and devices of different manufacturers.It can serve as a basic guideline to provide a real implementation of IEC 61850 models over real distributed object platforms, using CORBA technology as support for distribution.

It should be noted however that CORBA is not a communication service but a middleware service, providing other types of functionality and methodology that go beyond those of pure communication services (for example automatic generation of skeletons and proxies, interface repositories, server object management, etc).
