Building
Before building you should install swig and python. To build python bindings you have to turn on the BUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS flag in CMake from cmake-gui or in command line:
$ cmake -DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=ON .
Then compile the library and install it. CMake and swig will automatically detect your python version and install the python library in python library directories.
pyiec61850 library is to be imported calling
import iec61850
Client tutorial
The python bindings works similarly to the basic C library. However there are some differences:
- a specific function is to be called to cast variables from one type to another
- arguments passed by pointer are to be removed from arguments and append to the return list
For example to create a connection, call:
con = iec61850.IedConnection_create()
error = iec61850.IedConnection_connect(con, "localhost", 102)
if (error == iec61850.IED_ERROR_OK):
# Do some work
iec61850.IedConnection_close(con)
iec61850.IedConnection_destroy(con)
To iterate over a list of logical devices, the code becomes:
[deviceList, error] = iec61850.IedConnection_getLogicalDeviceList(con)
device = iec61850.LinkedList_getNext(deviceList)
while device:
print("LD: %s" % iec61850.toCharP(device.data))
[logicalNodes, error] = iec61850.IedConnection_getLogicalDeviceDirectory(
con, iec61850.toCharP(device.data))
device = iec61850.LinkedList_getNext(device)
iec61850.LinkedList_destroy(deviceList)
Reading and writing operations can be performed using this syntax:
[floatValue, error] = iec61850.IedConnection_readFloatValue(con,
"simpleIOGenericIO/GGIO1.AnIn1.mag.f", iec61850.IEC61850_FC_MX)
err = iec61850.IedConnection_writeFloatValue(con,
"simpleIOGenericIO/GGIO1.AnIn1.mag.f", iec61850.IEC61850_FC_MX, 10.0)
