vNode v1.22.4
A new way to connect, secure, and control your industrial data
vNode 1.22.4 expands connectivity with the power sector, strengthens secure access for AI, and adds new capabilities for managing alarms, commands, and industrial integrations.
Key updates
ICCP Server
Connect directly to control centers
The new ICCP Server adds ICCP/TASE.2 (IEC 60870-6) connectivity to integrate vNode with control centers, dispatch systems, and other power-sector infrastructure.
From a single platform, you can exchange operational information between your facilities and the systems responsible for monitoring and controlling the grid.
- Real-time telemetry, states, and events.
- Quality information associated with the data.
- Control operations whenever the ICCP configuration requires it.
AI Security
Open your data to AI — not to just anyone
MCP Server now includes OAuth 2.0 authentication to protect connections from AI agents, applications, and MCP clients that need access to the industrial data available in vNode. This new capability makes it easier to bring AI into industrial environments while keeping a standard authentication mechanism and greater control over access.
OAuth 2.0 authentication.
More secure access for agents and MCP clients.
Better integration with modern identity and access architectures.
Alarm Management
Less noise. More focus on what matters.
Alarm Shelving lets you temporarily set aside specific alarms during maintenance, calibration, or intervention work without having to permanently disable them.
Operators can define how long alarms stay shelved and return them to normal operation when needed, while keeping a full record of the actions taken.
- Temporarily pause alarms without changing their configuration.
- Reactivate them automatically or manually.
- Keep a record of the actions performed.
Safer control with IEC 104
Confirm before you execute
IEC 104 Client now includes Select-Before-Operate (SBO), a mechanism that splits command execution into two steps: first the command is selected, then its execution is confirmed.
This adds an extra layer of control for critical operations on switches, disconnectors, and other remote equipment, while Direct Execute remains available whenever the operation requires it.
Faster OPC UA integrations
Create methods directly on the server
OPC UA Server now includes a new capability to create methods available on the OPC UA Server of any node, to automatically run any logic and return its result. This simplifies engineering work and reduces the effort needed to configure, validate, and deploy more advanced OPC UA integrations.

FAQ
What is vNode 1.22.4 and what does this version include?
vNode 1.22.4 is the latest release of the vNode industrial connectivity platform. It adds an ICCP/TASE.2 server for control-center integration, OAuth 2.0 authentication for the MCP Server, Alarm Shelving for alarm management, Select-Before-Operate (SBO) for IEC 104, and new methods support for the OPC UA Server.
What is the ICCP Server and what is it used for?
The ICCP Server adds ICCP/TASE.2 (IEC 60870-6) connectivity to vNode, letting you exchange real-time telemetry, states, events, and data quality information with control centers, dispatch systems, and other power-sector infrastructure from a single platform.
How does vNode protect AI agent access to industrial data?
vNode’s MCP Server now includes OAuth 2.0 authentication, so AI agents, applications, and MCP clients must authenticate through a standard, secure mechanism before accessing real-time or historical data, KPIs, or alarms — giving you governed, contextualized control over AI access.
What is Alarm Shelving and when should I use it?
Alarm Shelving lets you temporarily set aside specific alarms during maintenance, calibration, or intervention work without permanently disabling them. You decide how long they stay shelved, reactivate them automatically or manually, and every action is kept in the record.
What is Select-Before-Operate (SBO) in IEC 104?
Select-Before-Operate is a two-step command mechanism in the IEC 104 Client: the command is first selected, then its execution must be confirmed. This adds an extra layer of control for critical operations on switches, disconnectors, and other remote equipment, while Direct Execute remains available when needed.
What's new in OPC UA integrations with vNode 1.22.4?
vNode 1.22.4 lets you create methods directly on the OPC UA Server of any node to automatically run logic and return results, simplifying engineering work and reducing the effort needed to configure, validate, and deploy advanced OPC UA integrations.
