  1. Select the IED in the Plant Structure view.
  2. Select the GOOSE Controls tab in the tool pane.
  3. To add a new data set, right-click the area containing the data set names and select New.
    Figure 1. Creating a new GOOSE control block
  4. Browse to LLN0 under LD0 to define where the GOOSE control block is to be placed.
  5. Give a unique name to the GOOSE control block. 1MRS756475 N Section 5 GOOSE 615.

  6. In the Data set drop-down list, select the previously created data set to link with the GCB.
  7. If creating a R-GOOSE control block check the Routable checkbox.
  8. Edit the properties and addresses of the created GOOSE control block. Edit at least MAC Address and App ID.
    Figure 3. GOOSE control block properties

    Table 1. GOOSE control block properties
    GoCB attribute Description
    App ID Application identifier. A hexadecimal value for the published GoCB. It needs to be a unique value within the system. Value range is 0000...3FFF.
    MAC Address Multicast destination MAC address. A multicast addressing scheme is used when sending GOOSE messages. A multicast address can be shared by several GoCBs. To allow multicast message filtering in receiving devices it is recommended to use unique addresses. Value range is 01-0C-CD-01-00-00...01-0C-CD-01-01-FF.
    VLAN ID The VLAN group can be used when configuring the Ethernet network topology's virtual LANs for routing and segmenting. Configuration is done in managed Ethernet switches. If static VLAN identifiers are defined, it also affects the switch port configuration. Value “000” indicates a non-configured VLAN; in this case, switches do not filter these messages on a port basis. This is recommended if there is no need to split the logical network. The VLAN identifier is a three-character hexadecimal value. Value range is 000...FFF.
    VLAN Priority Used in networks supporting VLANs. The priority is used with network switches. Default value is 4. Value range is 0...7.
    Application ID GOOSE control block identifier. A unique identification string of max 64 characters for each GoCB in the system. By default, it is the GoCB identification in the device data model. It is recommen ded to use unique identifiers. Default value is GoCB IEC 61850 path name.
    Config Revision Configuration revision. An integer value indicating the revision of the GOOSE configuration. Sent in every GOOSE message. Receivers check the value to detect configuration mismatches. Both sender and the receiver must use the same configuration revision. Updated automatically by configuration tools when the referenced data set is changed.
    Data Set Data content sent in the GOOSE message.
    Fixed Offsets Not applicable.
    Max Time Background "heartbeat" send cycle time in milliseconds. The device resends the latest data with the heartbeat cycle when no data changes. Communication supervision is based on this idle sending mechanism. Default value 10000 ms.Value range is 1000…60000 ms.
    Min Time Maximum response time to data changes in milliseconds. In the device, the value is always 4 ms for sent data. Not applicable.
    Security Enabled Not applicable.
    Note: Max Time is configurable. Min Time is not.
    Note: The multicast MAC address is usually unique. App ID must be unique.

R-GOOSE shares the properties of GOOSE for configuration with the exception of Multicast address. The multicast destination MAC address is calculated from the R-GOOSE IP address. In addition to GOOSE, the following R-GOOSE specific communication properties need to be configured.

Table 2. R-GOOSE control block attributes
GoCB attribute Description
Class of Traffic Class of traffic for IPv4. Specifies the Type of Service field of the IPv4 header (DSCP high 6 bits and ECN low 2 bits). Defines the requested routing service for the message to allow routing prioritizing in the network routing devices. Default 0 equals best effort service.
IGMPv3 Address Source IPv4 address of R-GOOSE message. Unicast IPv4 address used for IGMPv3 subscription. Used for source specific multicast filtering to allow subscription to R-GOOSE from only specified sources. It is recommended to use the device IP address.
IP Address UDP/IPv4 destination address of R-GOOSE message. Must be an IP multicast address conforming to RFC 5771 (Class D, 224.0.0.0/4, leading bits 1110).
