REX640 IEC 61850 Engineering Guide

When the IEC 61850 Edition 2 configuration has been selected for the protection relay, it is capable of processing simulated messages. The switchover to simulated messages requires that the relay is set to allow simulated messages and that it receives the first simulated message. Detection of simulated messages is separated per GOOSE publisher. Therefore, one GOOSE input may receive a simulated message while another input receives a real GOOSE message.

To set the protection relay to allow simulated GOOSE, either LD0.LPHD1.Sim is set to true via the IEC 61850 protocol or the Allow simulation parameter is set via the WHMI or the LHMI to "Yes".

Switching back to receiving real GOOSE messages requires that the Allow simulation parameter is set to "No" (or LD0.LPHD1.Sim = false). The values change to real ones after the first received real GOOSE message.

The LHMI can be used to verify that a simulated GOOSE is received. The publisher is marked with the “(simulated)” text when simulated messages are received.
