OpenPLC is an open-source software that complies with IEC 61131-3 international standard and has been widely used by researchers to validate PLC logic execution. However, the software’s capability is limited as it is solely restricted to Modbus and DNP3 protocols. With the integration of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) into modernized power grid based on IEC 61850 standards, it is necessary to incorporate functionalities that enable PLCs to communicate with IEDs. Therefore, in this paper we develop OpenPLC61850, which is an extended version of OpenPLC and is compatible with the IEC 61850 protocol. The architecture and the procedure involved with PLC logic execution, IED communication, and SCADA connectivity are explained in this paper. As the proposed software is also an open source, we believe that this would be helpful for researchers for conducting smart grid research.

Hacking, as a mode of technical and cultural production, is commonly celebrated for its extraordinary freedoms of creation and circulation. Yet surprisingly few women participate in it: rates of involvement by technologically skilled women are drastically lower in hacking communities than in industry and academia. This book investigates the activists engaged in free and open-source software to understand why, despite their efforts, they fail to achieve the diversity that their ideals support. The book shows that within this well-meaning volunteer world, beyond the sway of human resource departments and equal opportunity legislation, members of underrepresented groups face unique challenges. The book explores who participates in voluntaristic technology cultures, to what ends, and with what consequences. Digging deep into the fundamental assumptions underpinning STEM-oriented societies, the book demonstrates that while the preferred solutions of tech enthusiasts—their “hacks” of projects and cultures—can ameliorate some of the “bugs” within their own communities, these methods come up short for issues of unequal social and economic power. Distributing “diversity” in technical production is not equal to generating justice. The book reframes questions of diversity advocacy to consider what interventions might appropriately broaden inclusion and participation in the hacking world and beyond.
