Establishing connection and verifying the
IEC 61850 station communication
3.1
Setting the station communication
To enable IEC 61850 station communication:
•
The IEC 61850-8-1 station communication functionality must be on in the
LHMI. Navigate to
Main menu/Configuration/Communication/
IEC61850-8-1/General
and set parameter
Operation
to
On
.
•
To enable GOOSE communication the
Operation
parameter for the
corresponding GOOSE function blocks (GOOSEBINRCV and
GOOSEINTLKRCV) must be set to
On
in the application configuration.
3.2
Verifying the communication
Connect your PC to the nearby switch and ping the connected IED and the
Substation Master PC to verify that the communication is working (up to the
transport layer). If it is possible to see all of them, then they can see each other.
The best way to verify the communication up to the application layer is to
•
use a protocol analyzer, for example an Ethereal that is connected to the
substation bus, and
•
monitor the communication
