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.

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.
    • Generic Events and Subscriptions (GES) for publishing and subscribing to generic XML messages.
    • OLE for Process control (OPC) for Data Access  (DA) and historical data access (HDA).
