IEC 61850 communication depends on the proper communication configuration in all IEDs that communicate via IEC 61850.

It is possible to make a configuration change in one IED, without affecting the horizontal communication (GOOSE or IEC 61850-9-2 LE) engineering between IEDs. For example, when the Application Configuration tool configuration is changed, but no changes are done to the instantiation or deletion of functions that represent a logical node.

When a changed configuration is written to the IED, the horizontal communication configuration needs to be updated.

Figure 1. Updating the communication configuration in the IED with the configuration made in PCM600

Select which configuration part to include in writing.
- Select GOOSE to update the GOOSE configuration part in the IED.
- Select Process bus (IEC 61850-9-2) to update the IEC 61850-9-2 configuration part in the IED.
Select whether or not to update the configuration.
- Click Continue to update the selected communication configuration part(s) in the IED. The options can be left unselected. In this case, other parts of the configuration are updated.
- Click Cancel to cancel the whole writing operation.
