This standard includes the exchange of real-time data indications, control operations, timeseries data, scheduling and accounting information, remote program control and event notification. Though the primary objective of TASE.2 is to provide control centre (telecontrol) data exchange its use is not restricted to control centre data exchange. It may be applied in any other domain having comparable requirements. Examples of such domains are power plants, factory automation, process control automation, and others.
