REX640 IEC 61850 Engineering Guide

GOOSE can handle horizontal communication of time-critical events, such as triggers, interlocking, disturbance recording, and autoreclosing, between the IEDs in a substation. Typically, engineering involves several PCM600 tools (ICE, ACT, SMT) and, optionally, a separate tool for the GOOSE configuration.

To configure GOOSE with Application Configuration, GOOSE configuration must be enabled from options.

After that, horizontal communication can be configured using only Application Configuration in PCM600. Knowledge of configuration details is not needed.

  1. To create horizontal communication between function block signals of two different IEDs, open Application Configuration of the receiving IED.
  2. Locate the function block input and right-click the input.
  3. Point to Connect and select GOOSE.
  4. In the Connect to Goose dialog box, connect GOOSE by selecting the function block output of the sender application or the signal of the sender logical node.
