SISCO's Utility Integration Bus (UIB) is a standards-based integration platform designed to significantly reduce the engineering effort required to integrate data in the utility environment. The UIB extends off-the-shelf Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) middleware with utility specific extensions for support of distributed power system models and standards-based interface services and application programming interfaces (API) using XML messaging per the IEC61970 and IEC61968 standards. The UIB enables you to build a flexible model-driven architecture for application integration to leverage existing power system related application investments.

For information on consulting and integration services for IEC 61968 based SmartGrid integration please visit our CIM integration service page.

UIB Features
  • Provides utility specific extensions to off-the-shelf EAI middleware based on international standards.

  • Provides data access across the UIB in the context of a common information model (CIM) that eliminates application dependencies resulting in an integration architecture that doesn't break as changes are made.
  • GDA interfaces support distibution of model change notices across the bus enabling application adapters to automatically detect model changes.
  • Supports XML models per IEC 61970 and IEC 61968 including full, partial, and incremental imports.
  • Application adapter development is simplified with mapping tools that provide an easy-to-use GUI for assigning application data to common model objects.
  • Supports IBM WebSphere® and other middleware. Portable to other platforms.

  • Enables you to leverage your existing investment in legacy applications by providing a mechanism for "wrapping" the legacy applications using standardized APIs and services based on the Generic Interface Definition (GID) of IEC 61970 including:


    • Generic Data Access (GDA) for model access and managment.
    • High-Speed Data Access (HSDA) for access to real-time data.
    • Time-Series Data Access (TSDA) for access to historical data.
    • OLE for Process control (OPC) for Data Access  (DA) and historical data access (HDA).
