The GOOSE module offers communication as per IEC 61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) protocol.

IEC 61850

GOOSE Control Block

Selection of the GOOSE control block to be used that is preconfigured on the server. A GOOSE control block must always be selected. It is essential to select a GOOSE control block that is not already used by another client.

If you have an address book, you can select the GOOSE control block from the address book. The application ID is filled in automatically. If you do not have an address book, you must enter the GOOSE control block and the application ID. Optionally, you can also configure a source and/or destination MAC address to identify the correct GOOSE messages.

You can also leave the field blank if the GOOSE messages can be identified, for example, by the application ID, the source MAC address, or the destination MAC address.

Data set

The data set that is sent via GOOSE.

Use external timestamp

By default the data is resampled by ibaPDA. This way equidistant data is generated that is synchronized to data coming from other sources. Alternatively you can use the external timestamp from the IEC 61850 device. In this case you will have to select the "As is" profile in the data storage to store the data as non-equidistant data with the external timestamp. When calculations are done with the data then it will be resampled.

Application ID, Source/Destination MAC address

Display of GOOSE connection properties, see GOOSE Control Block. These fields can be edited if the device does not support MMS communication, i.e. if the option Read GOOSE configuration from device via MMS is disabled. See also Connection Settings.
