Setting up the GOOSE Configurator

The total number of items that can be received is affected by the number of GOOSE
receives that have been configured, the type of data item, and by whether or not the
quality is to be received with the item.
This section will explain how to setup GOOSE messaging between two relays using the
Simplified GOOSE Configurator (SGC). As stated earlier, the purpose of the SGC is to allow
the user to configure the 3 Series relays to share digital data points via GOOSE without
requiring a detailed understanding of the IEC61850 model or of how to configure GOOSE
within the relay. As SGC may not allow advanced users the flexibility for a complex
application, manual configuration could be required and used.
SGC is only intended to modify offline settings files. There is no support for online devices
and only settings files of firmware version 1.4x and higher, with the 2E/3E option, will be
included in the simplified GOOSE configuration screen for any given site.
Setting up the Simplified GOOSE Configurator is a three-step process:
1. Create a GOOSE Site (in the offline window) that will contain all the related relay
settings files, then add the associated 3 Series IED settings files to this site.
2. Launch the Simplified GOOSE Configurator, configure the GOOSE transmissions for
each relay, then save and exit the tool.
3. Download the settings files to the associated relays.
Each of these steps will be explained in detail in the following section. IEC61850 GOOSE
messaging uses Ethernet, so the 3 Series relay must be equipped with an Ethernet port
and support the IEC61850 GOOSE messaging option. Each relay can be connected to the
Ethernet LAN through either the fiber optic (preferred) or twisted pair Ethernet port but not
BOTH at the same time.
