Setting up the SR3 GOOSE Configurator

350 FEEDER PROTECTION SYSTEM – COMMUNICATIONS GUIDE
The simplified GOOSE configuration tool has no way of sensing manual changes to the
GOOSE configuration menus and so when used, the SGC tool overwrites the entire
IEC61850 settings of all settings files within the offline site. For this reason it is not
advisable to mix the two techniques.
SR3 GOOSE Implementation
Before we proceed with the configuration tool we will review the SR3's IEC61850
implementation. The SR3 family of relays can receive and transmit both digital and analog
information. However, currently only digital status information received via GOOSE can be
used in the SR3 relays.
Transmission Data Block
Each SR3 relay has one GOOSE transmission data block consisting of up to 64 data items.
Once configured, this block is transmitted at power-up, on a pre-configured time basis
(ranging from 1 to 60 seconds) and within a window of 4 to 10 ms after a digital point
within the data block has changed state.
Receive Data Block
Each SR3 relay has eight GOOSE receive data blocks. Each receive data block consists of
up to 64 data items and is configured to receive the transmission from a specific device on
the network. Received digital status information from any of the eight receive data blocks
is mapped into the local SR3's 32 remote inputs such that the status can be made
available to the relay.
The total number of items that can be received is affected by the number of GOOSE
receives that have been configured, the type of data item, and by whether or not the
quality is to be received with the item.
