Distributed Multifunction Fault Recorder
Chapter 11: GOOSE Message Detection
This chapter provides detailed information about the GOOSE message detection
functionality.
1 Description
Digital channels can be associated with physical electrical digital inputs or
associated to the detection of IEC61850, GOOSE messages.
GOOSE messages are captured and filtered by one of the Ethernet interfaces
installed at the communications module. The state of the binary variables in the
GOOSE message associated with digital channels and can be included in trigger
equations, and can be stored in the fault record, disturbance record, and in the
sequence of event (SOE) record.
The equipment can detect up to 320 binary inputs. The dataset types supported are:

Boolean data type (1 bit);

Bitstring data type (group of 64 bits);

Enumeration data type (compare with some value to create a Boolean
state).
GOOSE messages can be filtered by VLAN, MAC addresses and by the application
identifier.
The association between the GOOSE messages and digital channels is made using
the GOOSE Configurator, which is part of the RPVTools package. For details about the
GOOSE Configurator configuration see Chapter 12: Software – RPV Tools.
Note:
All the three rear Ethernet ports are capable of reading the GOOSE messages, but
the same GOOSE messages shall not be sent to more than one port at the same
time because they will be processed again by the device as it was the same
message causing wrong readings.
