Does Process Bus Insight send commands or publish Process Bus traffic?

No. It is receive-only and does not publish GOOSE or Sampled Values or send IEC 61850 control commands.

Can it prove certified timing or formal IEC 61850 conformance?

No. Windows software timestamps support screening and troubleshooting. Formal conformance, calibrated timing, and deterministic real-time evidence require separately validated methods and equipment.

What is the current license?

Post-transition community revisions and packages are GPL-3.0-or-later. Historical revisions through the recorded boundary remain Apache-2.0.

Does the commercial notice automatically grant proprietary rights?

No. A separate commercial agreement must be negotiated and executed; the notice grants no additional rights by itself.

visibility GPL-3.0-or-later · Receive-only · Windows

IEC 61850 Process Bus visibility for engineers who need defensible answers.

Analyze live Sampled Values, GOOSE, PTP timing context, and SCL expected-vs-observed evidence. Reproduce sanitized classic PCAP captures through the same decoder path while keeping timing and evidence limitations visible.

auto_awesome Capabilities

From packet observation to scoped engineering evidence.

The application shortens the path from traffic to a reviewable finding without treating software capture as certified metrology.

monitoring

Sampled Values

Stream identity, APPID, svID, VLAN, continuity, waveform, RMS, phasor, and sequence context.

lan

GOOSE inspection

Publisher state, stNum, sqNum, dataset values, and event changes.

schedule

PTP context

Timing traffic and freshness with explicit timestamp-source limits.

account_tree

SCL comparison

Compare observed traffic with SCD, ICD, or CID expectations.

replay

PCAP replay

Reproduce sanitized classic Ethernet captures through the live decoder path.

shield

Receive-only

No SV or GOOSE publishing and no IEC 61850 control-command path.

route Engineering workflow

Keep expected, observed, interpreted, and externally proven behavior separate.

01Use an authorized capture path

TAP, mirror port, or controlled engineering switch.

02Observe evidence

Identify stream, publisher, VLAN, APPID, timing context, and capture health.

03Compare or replay

Load SCL expectations or reproduce sanitized traffic offline.

04Record a scoped finding

State what was expected, observed, decoded, and not proven.

Proprietary integration, OEM/white-label, closed-source redistribution, private branches, or contractual services require a separate commercial agreement. The notice grants no additional rights by itself.

Important questions before field use.

security Does it control equipment?

No. It is receive-only and does not publish SV/GOOSE or send IEC 61850 control commands.

timer Can it prove certified timing?

No. Ordinary Windows/Npcap and replay timestamps are screening evidence, not calibrated timing proof.

verified Does a matching screen prove IED acceptance?

No. External IED reception, trust, and process action require separate evidence.

workspace_premium Can a company obtain proprietary rights?

A separate commercial agreement may be negotiated for rights controlled by the project owner. The repository notice is not itself a commercial license.
