Next Generation Python bindings for libiec61850, packaged as a Python wheel.

This repository provides Python bindings for the libiec61850 library, which is an open-source implementation of the IEC 61850 standard for communication networks and systems in substations.

pip install pyiec61850-ng

pip install pyiec61850-ng --find-links https://github.com/f0rw4rd/pyiec61850-ng/releases/latest/download/

pip install git+https://github.com/f0rw4rd/pyiec61850-ng.git

pip install pyiec61850-ng-*.whl

import pyiec61850.pyiec61850 as pyiec61850

# Create and connect to an IEC 61850 server
connection = pyiec61850.IedConnection_create()
error = pyiec61850.IedConnection_connect(connection, "192.168.1.100", 102)

if error == pyiec61850.IED_ERROR_OK:
    print("Connected successfully!")
    # Perform operations...
    pyiec61850.IedConnection_close(connection)

pyiec61850.IedConnection_destroy(connection)

For comprehensive examples, see the examples directory:

• Basic Connection - Connect to an IEC 61850 server
• Device Discovery - Discover logical devices, nodes, and data objects
• Reading Data - Read values from data objects
• File Transfer - Download files using MMS file services

Run examples:

python examples/01_basic_connection.py 192.168.1.100
python examples/02_device_discovery.py 192.168.1.100

The wheel package is built using Docker:

docker build -t pyiec61850-builder --build-arg LIBIEC61850_VERSION=v1.6 .

To extract the wheel file:

mkdir -p ./dist
docker create --name wheel-container pyiec61850-builder
docker cp wheel-container:/wheels/. ./dist/
docker rm wheel-container

This package uses the format: LIBIEC61850_VERSION.REVISION

• Example: 1.6.0.1 = libiec61850 v1.6.0, first package revision
• 1.6.0: The exact libiec61850 version included (static)
• .1: Package revision for bug fixes, rebuilds, binding improvements

This clearly shows which libiec61850 version you're getting and our package iteration.

Check current version:

python version.py        # Package version: 1.6.0.1
python version.py --libiec61850  # libiec61850 version: v1.6.0
