This page covers the basics of the VSCP Framework and describes its working operations within the Internet of Things (IoT).

VSCP stands for Very Simple Control Protocol.

  • It functions more as a framework than a protocol.
  • VSCP facilitates interaction between devices at the application layer.
  • VSCP is compatible with various protocol mechanisms, including: CAN, Ethernet, RS232, TCPIP, Zigbee, Bluetooth, USB, GPRS, etc.
  • VSCP employs an event-driven format.
  • It supports global identifiers for nodes, allowing a node to be identified regardless of its location worldwide.
  • It incorporates a register model to provide a flexible, common interface for node configuration.
  • It offers a model for controlling the functionalities of each node.

  • When an event occurs, it is broadcast to all other nodes on the network.
  • Each node then determines whether the received event needs to be processed.
  • The final decision is based on the node’s decision matrix. This matrix consists of a number of “if conditions.” The evaluation of these conditions depends on the fields present in the VSCP datagram that is broadcast to the network.
