• Interoperability: With IEC 61850, you will not encounter protocol diversity and integration problems.
• Simpler Engineering: From engineering to implementation, from operation to service, it saves time and
costs on configuration, commissioning and maintenance.
• Reduction of costs: IEC 61850 replaces wiring among feeders, control switches, and signaling devices.
• Reliability: It uses only one communication channel for all the real time data synchronized using
Ethernet.
The IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) communicate with each other through a high-speed messaging tech-
nique called GOOSE (Generic Object-oriented Substation Event) messaging. On the occurrence of any status
change, an IED multicasts a high-speed GOOSE message, which typically contains the status of binary inputs,
trip signals, or status of primary equipment (for example, circuit breaker). They are all grouped in a dataset.
GOOSE is based on repetitions for a high reliability and for monitoring purposes of the communication link.
The IEC 61850 Edition 2 has been published to address certain issues such as interoperability and extensions
of data models and functions for the use in the following new areas or domains:
• Power Quality
• Specifying upgrading and downgrading conversion rules to address the mixed version projects
An Edition 2.1 station is capable of hosting Edition 1, Edition 2 and Edition 2.1 devices. An Edition 2 station is
reduced to Edition 1 and Edition 2 devices, and an Edition 1 station to Edition 1 devices. The highest the SCL
configuration description language, the better and unambiguous is the system configuration.
It is to note that now a device can be described with a newer SCL version, wherein, an Edition 1 device can be
described (ICD, IID file) using the SCL syntax of Edition 2.1.
• Can be used with all Siemens IED tools like DIGSI 4, DIGSI 5, ReyDisp Manager, SICAM I/O Mapping tool,
and SICAM ToolBox II
• Reduce the engineering effort using fewer interfaces between software products
The IEC 61850 System Configurator performs the following operations defined in IEC 61850-6 standard:
• Configuring network
• GOOSE engineering
• Report engineering

dataset cannot be created, either the device does not have the service capability or it already contains the
maximum number of datasets allowed.
In the Substation editor, you can structure and view the topology of the substations present, if necessary, by
adding or deleting a substation and child nodes. You can configure LNodes at any level in the substation using
the available devices and specify the relevant properties.
Each substation can have several kinds of child nodes.You can add new substations to the existing structure or
delete the existing substations.

In the Network Editor, you can structure the communication network of the IEC 61850 station, if necessary, by
adding or deleting a subnet. You can assign existing users to these subnets and specify the addressing and
relevant properties.
When you open a station for the first time, the network structure of the station consists of one or more
subnets. This contains the access points of all the devices that you assigned to the station as participants, that
is, what you see are not the devices, but the access points to these devices. Each device can have several
access points, which can be assigned to different subnets. The part of the name of an access point is the
device name, which you have assigned within the project. Therefore, it is easy to find the individual devices in
the network structure. You can add new subnets to the existing structure or delete the existing subnets.
• Subnets
• Properties
For additional information on these windows, refer to 8.4.3.1 Network Editor .
- or -
² Right-click the station and select insert Subnet from the context menu.
This operation adds the subnet to the station.
- or -
² Right-click the subnet and select Delete from the context menu.
- or -
² Press Delete on the keyboard.
The Delete items dialog is displayed.
² Click Yes to delete the subnet or No to abort the operation.
NOTE
Most IEDs contain a single access point. Some physical devices like SIPROTEC 5 can support several communi-
cation modules with IEC 61850. Access points can be moved from one subnet to another subnet either using
the drag and drop or the cut and paste option. Moving access points does not change the IP address of the
access point. To allow GOOSE configuration, access points must be in the same network.
To move an access point using drag and drop, proceed as follows:
² Select the access point in the Network editor.
² Drag it onto the Subnet for which this access point has to be assigned.
NOTE
i The access point with ServerAt of the same IED have to be in different subnets.
2.13.5.1 Overview
The IP address of an access point must be unique within a subnet. You can enter the IP address manually in
the Properties window of an access point, or you can use the automatic addressing function with consecutive
IP addresses.
NOTE
NOTE
i During automatic addressing, the IP start address is assigned to the access point displayed in the top posi-
tion within the subnet. All other access points contain IP addresses which are assigned in ascending order
from the start address.
- or -
² Right-click the subnet and select AutomaticIPaddressing from the context menu.
- or -
² Press Shift+Ctrl+A on the keyboard.
If the access points of the subnet concerned already have valid IP addresses or the access point has an invalid
IP address, Overwriting existing IP addresses dialog is displayed.
² Click Yes to overwrite the existing IP address or click No to abort the operation.
NOTE
i Automatic addressing is not applicable to the devices added through SED import.
All the devices must be synchronized to a uniform time base to ensure the timely accurate acquisition and
documentation of events. To realize this, you need a reliable time source as well as a mechanism to make this
time available to each other. A timer is used as a time source and the mechanism is called as Network Time
Protocol (NTP).
You can integrate several timers into your Network editor as devices. One of the timers is specified as a first
timer (primary timer) with the additional timer as the second timer. If the first timer fails, the second timer
becomes active. You can operate your network with only one timer, however, redundancy is no longer
ensured.
NOTE
i Initially the timer is available in the New devices folder. The timer option is enabled in the Properties
window once it is assigned to a subnet.
To specify the timer in the Properties window of the station, proceed as follows:
² Select the timer from the Subnets window.
² In the Properties window, set the value to Yes for Use as a timer parameter in the Siemens Parameter
for SIPROTEC group. This type of configuration is enabled for EN100 modules only.
To list the timers in the Properties window of the IEC 61850 station, proceed as follows:
² Select IEC 61850 station.
² In the Properties window, select one option each for Primary clock master and Second clock master
from Parameter group.
If you select the same timer for First timer and Second timer, Select a timer for SIPROTEC devices dialog is
displayed. Click OK to update the timer to the latest modification.
Following cases are encountered with respect to the number of available timers:
Devices often have to exchange data with other devices. In IEC 61850, this cross-communication is referred to
as GOOSE: Generic Object Oriented Substation Event. GOOSE is a process that transmits event information
quickly between various participants.
Siemens GOOSE application is used to display GOOSE messages related to the same functionality in the same
folder for a clearer overview and to provide an easy way to configure global parameters between several
GOOSE ControlBlocks.
• GOOSE messages
• Source catalog
• Destination catalog
• Properties
For additional information on these windows, refer to 8.4.4.1 GOOSE Editor.
² Right-click the station and select GOOSE application from the context menu.
A GOOSE application is added to the station.
- or -
² Right-click the GOOSE application and select Delete.
- or -
² Select the GOOSE application and press Delete on the keyboard.
Delete items dialog is displayed.
² Click Yes to delete the GOOSE application or No to abort the operation.
NOTE
i Some GOOSE applications cannot be deleted, because of the service restrictions or capabilities of certain
datasets assigned to them.
NOTE
i The Name must start with a letter and can only consist of letters, numbers, and underscore (_).
The communication profile decides at which time interval a GOOSE message is repeated with a spontaneous
change or in the cyclical operation. A GOOSE application is assigned a communication profile with a low
communication rate by default (PriorityLow). For third-party devices, this is set to PriorityDetailedSettings.
The following option is available for changing the communication profile:
² You can select one of the three predefined communication profiles: PriorityLow, PriorityMedium, or
PriorityHigh.
NOTE
i Set the communication profiles in a targeted manner. Only select a communication profile with a high
communication rate for time-critical events. If you assign a high communication rate to all GOOSE applica-
tions together, this can result in the loss of overall system performance.
NOTE
NOTE
i All GOOSE connections within a GOOSE application use the same communication profile. It is therefore
recommended to combine GOOSE connections in different GOOSE applications according to their priority.
By default, all GOOSE datasets within the GOOSE application inherits the global settings. It is however
possible to customize it for the each GOOSE control block.
Datasets can be added to the GOOSE application and deleted from the GOOSE application.
Adding a Dataset
To add a dataset, proceed as follows:
² Select a signal from Source catalog window.
- or -
² Press the SHIFT key continuously as well as the down arrow to select multiple signals.
² Drag and drop the signals to the GOOSE application or station.
NOTE
NOTE
Deleting a Dataset
To delete a dataset from a GOOSE application, proceed as follows:
² Select the dataset from a GOOSE application.
² Click Edit > Delete from menu bar.
- or -
² Click on the toolbar.
- or -
² Right-click the dataset and select Delete from the context menu.
- or -
² Press Delete on the keyboard.
Delete items dialog is displayed.
² Click Yes to delete the dataset or click No to abort the operation.
Following the insertion, the name of the dataset consists of a hierarchical path name and a consecutively
numbered name such as Dataset_1, Dataset_2, and so on. You can change the path name and the name of
the dataset independently.
NOTE
i Special characters are not allowed in the Name text box according to IEC 61850-6 scheme.
To move the dataset from one GOOSE application to another, proceed as follows:
² Select the dataset from the GOOSE messages window.
² Drag and drop the dataset from one GOOSE application to another GOOSE application.
- or -
² Cut the dataset from the GOOSE application. You can perform this operation in any of the following
ways:
- Select Edit > Cut on the menu bar.
- Select on the toolbar.
- Right-click the dataset and select Cut from the context menu.
² Select the GOOSE application where you want to move the dataset.
² Paste the dataset to the selected GOOSE application. You can perform this operation in any of the
following ways:
- Select Edit > Paste on the menu bar.
- Select on the toolbar.
- Right-click the GOOSE application where you want to move the dataset and select Paste from the
context menu.
The dataset is moved to the selected GOOSE application.
NOTE
i Drag and drop of a data object to the GOOSE application level creates a new dataset. To improve the band-
width, drag and drop the data object directly to an existing dataset.
For additional information on changing signal properties, refer to 7.17 GOOSE Link.
NOTE
i For inherited attributes that have been changed, an information is displayed that there is a difference from
the GOOSE application.
Each subnet is displayed as a column in the GOOSE editor. You can select on which subnet the IED should
send the GOOSE telegram. The available options depend on which subnet the IED access point is configured.
You can select several subnets if the same GOOSE telegram is available on several communication modules.
To perform this, the access point of the IED has to be connected with the concerned subnet.
• In the Network view, the Ethernet interface is connected with the subnet concerned.
NOTE
i IEDs are usually configured as typicals and instantiated several times. It is then useful not to re-engineer all
the IEDs manually.
NOTE
i The Target IED is displayed in the Paste GOOSE Configuration dialog, if you paste the dataset in the
Source catalog.
² Click Paste.
NOTE
i The GOOSE control blocks are copied and the MAC addresses are incremented.
NOTE
i IEDs are configured as typicals and instantiated several times. It is then useful not to re-engineer all the
IEDs manually.
A GOOSE link consists of a signal as the source and at least a Logical node or a Data object as the destination.
Links are always created within GOOSE applications.
For linking a source signal to a target node, the following rules apply:
• A signal can only be used in precisely one GOOSE application as a source signal.
• The source signal and the destination node must always be located on different devices. You cannot
connect a source signal to a destination node from the same device.
The links are also grouped into datasets within a GOOSE application.
You can connect a source signal to a destination node manually in the GOOSE editor by drag and drop if the
CDC (Common Data Class) matches. This is applicable only to EN100. Other devices are mapped at LN level
and thus no CDC check is performed. The mapping is then done at the data attribute group level which usually
consists of the following:
NOTE
i The field Name (ldName) is enabled for Edition-2 stations if the IED defines the appropriate service capabili-
ties.
When the IED publisher uses the ldName for the published dataset, the GOOSE subscriptions can be config-
ured based on the service capabilities of the IED subscriber.
NOTE
i For devices with EN100 and later binding, insertion is allowed at DA group level and for other devices,
insertion is allowed at DO level and dataset level.
If the signal is inserted at dataset level, then the selected destination signal will be connected for all the
source signals of the dataset.
To subscribe the SIPROTEC 5 or Edition 2.1 later binding data object, both the publisher and the subscriber
must have the same basic type attribute in the data object.
NOTE
i If the selected destination signal cannot be connected to the source signal or if it has already been
connected, change the selection.
NOTE
i GOOSE links of subscriber type are represented by and GOOSE links of publisher type are represented by
in the GOOSE messages window.
NOTE
i To support the plug and play feature, the destination signals will not be deleted if the configured destina-
tion signals do not have a publisher IED in the station. If you want to delete the configured destination
signal, click the button to remove it from the device.
When the publisher IED is imported to the station, the configured destination signals will be automatically
mapped to the publisher configuration.
NOTE
i Central functions may require several IEDs to subscribe to the same GOOSE signals.
NOTE
i You can copy and paste only at the same level. For example, if you copy an IED, it can only be pasted onto
another IED.
While copying, all the sublevels below the copied IED/LD/LN are also copied.
If the subscribers are copied from SIPROTEC 5 or third-party devices, they cannot be pasted to a SIPROTEC 4
device.
If a signal is not pasted, it is displayed in the reporter window.
Later binding subscribers cannot be copied.
Various options are available for changing an existing GOOSE connection in the GOOSE editor.
• You can connect the same source signal to multiple destination nodes.
• You can replace the current destination node with another destination node in the case of a source signal
that has already been connected.
NOTE
i If you click No in the confirmation prompt, the destination node is added to the source signal.
- or -
² Right-click the GOOSE connection and select Delete from the context menu.
- or -
² Press Delete on the keyboard.
The Delete items dialog is displayed.
² Click Yes to delete the GOOSE connection or click No to cancel the operation.
NOTE
i Once the destination signal is configured, the corresponding signal is marked with a red cross ( ) in the
Destination catalog indicating that it cannot be configured as a destination signal again.
NOTE
i Only the devices with GOOSE capabilities are displayed in the catalogs.
NOTE
i If you delete a configured destination node for a later binding device, its predefined data objects and data
attributes are also deleted. To restore the predefined configuration, update the device.
- or -
² Click Edit menu and select Reassigning virtual MAC addresses from the menu option.
Overwrite existing MAC addresses dialog is displayed.
² Click Yes to reassign the virtual MAC address for all GOOSE messages of the station or click No to abort
the operation and then click OK.
NOTE
i Reassigning virtual MAC address allows all the addresses to be unique and changes the MAC address for
other station devices. It also increases the performance at GOOSE subscriber side.
NOTE
i Reassigning virtual MAC address is not applicable for devices imported through SED.
With files in SED format (System Exchange Description), you can exchange information among several
IEC 61850 stations. If a dataset and the signals contained within it should be part of an SED export, select the
dataset for the SED export.
² Select the dataset from the GOOSE application in the GOOSE editor.
² Select Yes from the list box for Include in SED export in the Parameter group in the Properties window.
The dataset is included in the export file during an SED export.
NOTE
i An Edition 2 station can export an Edition 1 or 2 SED file, but an Edition 1 station can only export an
Edition 1 SED file.
IEC 61850-7-4 Edition 2 introduced the LN (logical node) LGOS to analyze the subscription state of a published
GOOSE indication.
[sc_iec_gooselink_properties, 1, en_US]
The configured LGOS is marked with a red cross in the destination catalog. Selecting the marked LGOS, you
can view the Supervised GSEControl and Supervised dataset values for the configured subscriber device in

The dataset is moved to the selected SMV application.
NOTE
i Dragging and dropping of a data object to the SMV application level creates a new dataset. To improve the
bandwidth, drag and drop the data object directly to an existing dataset.
For additional information on changing signal properties, refer to 7.17 GOOSE Link.
In the SMV editor, there is an SMV messages window containing a column with the name of the subnet for
every subnet that has been assigned within the Network view. Each column contains check box for each
dataset. With this check box, you specify whether a dataset and the signals contained within it should be
transmitted over the subnet. Only complete datasets can be selected or deselected and not individual signals.
If the check box is selected, the dataset is transmitted via the subnet. If the check box is cleared, the dataset is
not transmitted via the subnet.
So to select a subnet for a dataset, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
• In the Network view, the Ethernet interface is connected with the subnet concerned.
An SMV link consists of a signal as the source and at least a Logical node or a Data object as the destination.
Links are always created within SMV applications.
For linking a source signal to a target node, the following rules apply:
• A signal can only be used in precisely one SMV application as a source signal.
• The source signal and the destination node must always be located on different devices. You cannot
connect a source signal to a destination node from the same device.
• The access point of the source and the destination devices should be in the same subnetwork.
The links are also grouped into datasets within an SMV application.
You can connect a source signal to a destination node manually in the SMV Editor by drag and drop if the CDC
(Common Data Class) matches. Other devices are mapped at LN level and thus no CDC check is performed.
The mapping is then done at the data attribute group level which usually consists of the sampled value
instMag.f and of the quality q.
NOTE
i When the IED publisher uses the ldName for the published dataset, the SMV subscriptions can be config-
ured based on the service capabilities of the IED subscriber.
NOTE
i For devices with later binding, insertion is allowed at data attribute group level and for other devices, inser-
tion is allowed at data object level and at dataset level.
NOTE
i If the selected destination signal cannot be connected to the source signal or if it has already been
connected, select another signal.
NOTE
NOTE
i To support the plug and play feature, the destination signals will not be deleted if the configured destina-
tion signals do not have a publisher IED in the station. If you want to delete the configured destination
signal, click the button to remove it from the device.
When the publisher IED is imported to the station, the configured destination signals will be automatically
mapped to the publisher configuration.
Various options are available for changing an existing SMV connection in the SMV editor.
• You can connect the same source signal to multiple destination nodes.
• You can replace the current destination node with another destination node in the case of a source signal
that has already been connected.
NOTE
i If you click No on the confirmation prompt, the destination node is added to the source signal.
NOTE
i Once the destination data-object signal is configured, the corresponding signal is marked with a crossed-
out symbol in the Destination catalog indicating that the connection is established and that it cannot be
configured as a destination signal again.
Devices support data transmission between server and client in the form of reports and logs.
A report is comparable to indications list. Changes to indications or measured values, for example, by raising
or clearing protection trigger are immediately transmitted from the server to the client. Therefore, the client
does not have to make cyclical queries in the server as is the case in serial protocols. Instead, the client is auto-
matically informed about an event.
You can use Report and logs Editor to add datasets. Datasets group individual signals together. The signals
combined in datasets can subsequently be assigned to various report control blocks. It is possible to assign one
dataset to several report control blocks.
NOTE
i This editor is for the use of static reporting. By default, dynamic reporting is commonly used in Siemens
portfolio. This does not require any engineering in Reports and Logs editor.

For additional information on selecting trigger options and optional fields for sending a Report, refer to
7.23 Report Control Blocks.
The IEC 61850 distinguishes between buffered reports and unbuffered reports. For a buffered report, if the
connection between the server and client is interrupted, changes of indications are saved in the device. Once
the connection is restored, these indications are transmitted to the client with a time stamp.
For an unbuffered report, the changes are lost if the connection is lost. If there is a constant connection
between the client and server, both behaviors appear identical from the user view.
You select as an option in Properties window whether a report is buffered or unbuffered in the applicable
report control block. After inserting a new report control block, the buffered option is set to No by default.
To activate the buffer option in the Properties window, proceed as follows:
² Select the report from the Report and Log control blocks for which you want to activate the buffer
option.
² Select Yes for the Buffer indications in Parameter group in the Properties window.
The Identify information report as buffered dialog is displayed for the devices dependent on the services
section.

Group: Parameter
Property Description
IP address This field represents the current IP address of the access point. You can edit
this address manually. The IP address and the standard gateway have the
format x.y.y.x (where x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to 254), subnet masks have the
format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Non-permissible exceptions are automati-
cally rejected by the IEC 61850 System Configurator with a corresponding
message. The field display is updated as soon as the Automatic addressing
function is used.
Subnet mask The subnet mask allows two nodes communicating with each other to
recognize whether they are in the same or in different subnets. This
however requires that the IP addresses have been assigned consistently. The
preset subnet mask 255.255.255.0 can usually be retained for operation
with only one subnet.
However, the preset value can also be changed. The IP address and the
standard gateway have the format x.y.y.x (where, x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to
254), subnet masks have the format x.y.y.z (where, x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to
255, z = 0 to 254).
Standard Gateway The standard gateway is the transition from one subnet to another defined
as the standard. Such a transition is handled as a usual node and is therefore
also identified by a unique IP address. If nodes with a router function are
available within the network, their IP addresses are listed in a list box. You
can open this box by clicking the arrow button on the right border of the
input field.
You can also enter an IP address manually in this field. The IP address and
the standard gateway have the format x.y.y.x (where, x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to
254), subnet masks have the format x.y.y.z (where, x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to
255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Not permissible exceptions are automati-
cally rejected by the IEC 61850 System Configurator with a corresponding
message.
Device-device communication This field represents the GOOSE capability of the device. The values for this
property can be None, Client, Server, or Both.
Vertical communication This field represents whether the device allows a vertical communication
with other devices. The display of data objects is correspondingly adjusted in
the GOOSE, SMV, and Reports and logs view in the Source catalog and
the Destination catalog.
Timer function This field represents whether the device can be used as a timer. The prop-
erty values are either True or False.
Router function This field represents whether the device can be used as a router. The prop-
erty values are either True or False.
Property Description
Use as a timer This field represents whether a timer is configured as the first or the second
timer, or is not used if two or more timers are available within a station.
This property is not relevant for devices without a timer functionality. The
entry function No is displayed for such devices. By clicking the arrow button
on the right border, you can open a list box to specify the timer status. The
number of possible options depends on the number of timers within a
station:
One timer: option Yes (first timer)
Two timers: additional option Yes (second timer)
At least three timers: additional option No.
If you change any setting, the IEC 61850 System Configurator automatically
adjusts the status of other timers.
Message buffering This is applicable for EN100 devices only.
Here you can specify the memory requirements for message buffers.
Dynamic reporting requires additional memory.
Select Only static reporting if you configure the reporting exclusively in the
IEC 61850 System Configurator. The memory requirements for message
buffers are optimized.
Select Dynamic and static reporting if the plant is connected to a control
system that supports dynamic reporting, such as SICAM PAS.

Group: Parameter
Property Description
IP start address Enables you to use the function of automatic addressing of all access
points within the current subnet by entering a valid IP address as start
value in this field. The IP address and the Standard Gateway have the
format x.y.y.x (where x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to 254), subnet masks have
the format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Non-permissible exceptions are auto-
matically rejected by the IEC 61850 System Configurator with a corre-
sponding message. During the automatic addressing, this IP start
address is assigned to an access point displayed at the highest level
within the subnet. All other access points are assigned IP addresses,
which are allocated in ascending order starting from the start address.
Subnet mask The subnet mask allows two nodes communicating with each other to
recognize whether they are in the same subnet or in the different
subnet. This however requires that the IP addresses have been assigned
consistently. The preset subnet mask 255.255.255.0 can usually be
retained for operation with only one subnet. However, the preset value
can also be changed. The IP address and the standard gateway have
the format x.y.y.x (where x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to 254), subnet masks
have the format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
The entry Device-dependent indicates that devices with different
subnet masks are used in this subnet. If you try to select one subnet
mask for all devices, a warning is displayed by the IEC 61850 System
Configurator. Confirming this warning with OK overwrites the settings
of all devices of the subnet with the subnet mask.
Standard Gateway The Standard gateway is the transition from one subnet to another
defined as the standard. Such a transition is handled as a usual node
and is therefore identified by a unique IP address. If nodes with a router
function are available within the network, their IP addresses are listed
in a list box. You can open this box by clicking the arrow button on the
right border of the input box. You can also enter an IP address manually
in this field. The IP address and the standard gateway have the format
x.y.y.x (where x = 1 to 254, y = 0 to 254), subnet masks have the
format x.y.y.z (where x = 1 to 255, y = 0 to 255, z = 0 to 254).
However, it must be observed that not every possible combination is
permitted within the value range. Non-permissible exceptions are auto-
matically rejected by the IEC 61850 System Configurator with a corre-
sponding message.
The entry Device-dependent indicates that different standard gate-
ways are used in this subnet. If you try to select one standard gateway
for all devices, a warning is displayed by the IEC 61850 System Config-
urator. Confirming this warning with OK overwrites the settings of all
devices of the subnetwork with the standard gateway.
Baud rate This field represents the data transmission rate on the bus. The factory-
preset value of 100 Mbit/s should not be changed, since no higher
transmission rate is possible in connection with IEC 61850 at the
moment.
Type This field describes the type of the bus protocol. The factory default is
MMS/TCP. You cannot use any other bus protocol at the moment,
which is why you should not change this value.
Property Description
GOOSE bandwidth For any subnetwork, GOOSE bandwidth displays an estimation of the
consumed GOOSE information capacity in metric multiples of bits per
second.
SMV bandwidth For any subnetwork, SMV bandwidth displays an estimation of the
consumed SMV information capacity in metric multiples of bits per
second.
NOTE
i By default, the unit for GOOSE bandwidth and SMV bandwidth is Mbits/s.
If the baud rate is set for the subnetwork, the unit for the bandwidth is same as that of the baud rate. In
this case, the bandwidth also displays the percentage of the set baud rate.
