Experimenting a real-time industrial messaging service for a power utility: TASE.2 over the real-time micro-kernel pSOS+

Our project evaluated the ability of the TASE.2 standard to support EDF's application requirements for small and medium production units. EDF is the French power supplier. Our work focused on TASE.2 conformance blocks 1, 2 and 5. TASE.2 is a companion standard of ISO MMS. We studied the TASE.2 services through the port of an off-the-shelf server over pSOS+, a real-time kernel. This paper describes our tests and our results. The port has been successful and our implementation behaves like the reference implementation over Windows NT. Finally, this work allowed us to investigate the TASE.2 standard deeply, and contributes to define functional tests.
