CHAPTER 4: 3 SERIES IEC61850 GOOSE
NOTE:
SR3 SERIES PROTECTIVE RELAY PLATFORM – COMMUNICATIONS GUIDE
Once an IP address and subnet mask have been configured within each relay, and the
power cycled, the relays can be connected though a switch to the computer running the
EnerVista 3 Series Setup configuration software. Please note that an IP address and subnet
mask are not required for GOOSE but are required to configure the relays for operation via
Ethernet. For simplicity, the objective of this exercise is to configure the relay labeled 228
to send a GOOSE message containing the status of Virtual Input 1 to the relay labeled 230.
Upon reception of the message, relay 230 will use this Virtual Input status to control output
relay number 3.
The 3 Series relay can save RX dataset information to a maximum of 250 items. If GOOSE
configured through SGC requires a single device to receive GOOSE messages from multiple
senders, such that the total items may be more that 250, then additional items beyond
250 may not get saved in the settings file. In such a case, it is recommended to manually
verify the saved configuration in the receiver device once (under Setpoints > S1 Relay
Setup > Communication > GOOSE Configuration > Reception > RX dataset) to avoid
communication problems.
