CHAPTER 4: 3 SERIES IEC61850 GOOSE USING THE IEC 61850 CONFIGURATOR
SR3 SERIES PROTECTIVE RELAY PLATFORM – COMMUNICATIONS GUIDE 4-27
Using the IEC 61850 configurator
Introduction to the 3 Series IEC61850 Device Configurator
The 3 Series family of relays supports the IEC61850 GOOSE messaging service.
This service offers 3 Series relays the ability to exchange digital and analog information
with other relays supporting the same service, at speeds suitable for protection. The
configuration of GOOSE messaging within the 3 Series family of relays can be
accomplished in one of three ways:
1. For those users familiar with both the 3 Series configuration menus and IEC61850
implementation within the 3 Series, they may prefer to configure the relays directly
through the 3 Series menus if the GOOSE messaging is restricted to the exchange of
digital point status.
2. For those not familiar with 3 Series IEC61850 implementation and/or the 3 Series
menus, the above 3 Series Simplified GOOSE Message tool may save time and effort,
and is again restricted to the exchange of digital status information.
3. The 3 Series IEC61850 Device Configurator may be used with 3 Series relays
supporting the “3E” option and itself supports the configuration of both digital and
analog items for transmission.
This section of the Communications Guide deals with configuration of GOOSE messages
via the 3 Series IEC61850 Device Configurator.
