MSC protocol
Proprietary protocol used for productive communication via TCP connections in OPC
mode. The protocol allows authentication of the communications partner and simple
encryption. The MSC protocol is supported by the following control center applications:
– TeleControl Server Basic (TCSB)
– SINAUT MICRO SC
●
MSCsec protocol
Proprietary protocol used for productive communication via TCP connections in OPC
mode. In addition to the MSC protocol, it also allows authentication of the messages
using an HMAC with the help of a symmetrical encryption method (with pre-shared key).
The MSCsec protocol is supported by the following control center applications:
– TeleControl Server Basic (TCSB)
