- MQTT & AMQP
2017-06-27 09:32:19 +02:00
- WebSockets
- Shared Memory
- Files
2018-06-30 01:30:06 +02:00
- IEC 61850 Sampled Values / GOOSE
- Analog/Digital IO via Comedi drivers

2017-06-27 09:32:19 +02:00
2018-06-30 01:30:06 +02:00
It's designed with a focus on very low latency to achieve real-time exchange of simulation data.
2017-03-12 16:52:42 -03:00
VILLASnode is used in distributed- and co-simulation scenarios and developed for the field of power grid simulation at the EON Energy Research Center in Aachen, Germany.
