ICCP Inter-Center Communication

The document discusses ABB's SPIDER support for Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP) for data exchange over wide area networks between utility control centers. ICCP allows for exchange of different types of data, periodic/on-demand/triggered transfers, and control of remote devices. ABB's ICCP software provides client and server capabilities in compliance with ICCP specifications and can be integrated with SPIDER or implemented on front-end servers.

In the server role, an ICCP server application has already


invoked the ICCP server service, “Register for Client
Requests”. The ICCP server services, in response to a
client request, invokes a call-back routine that handles the
data transfer request by processing the data and either
fetching or depositing it in the database via the general
purpose data server process.

This provides utilities and other applications developers


the freedom of implementing ICCP client and server
applications using the services provided by ABB´s ICCP
software while meeting installation specific system and
database environment requirements. ABB can assist this
implementation by providing consulting services as well as
template data servers and applications into which the
purchaser can embed local database specific database calls.
