Figure 3.2-2 import IED wizard
In the IED information window, fill in the IED name.
IED name is the instance name of one IED, the IED name of each IED should be unique in system.
Normally the IED name can start with a letter and plus the IED address. For example we can use “B001”
as the IED name for the IED. B means BCU, 001 is the address of the IED. In this case the IED name will
not conflict with each other due to the address of IED in system is unique.
In import options, user can choose import from ICD or from IED.
From ICD: If it is the first time that add the IED or without the existing IED adopting the same ICD file in
the project, choose import from ICD file.
From IED: If the ICD file of the new IED is same as one existing IED in the project, in this case no need
to import ICD file again. User can choose import from IED to create a copy of existing IED.

3.4. GOOSE transmitting signal configuration
GOOSE control block control the sending of GOOSE signal. Which signal will be transmitted depends on
the corresponding dataset controlled by goose control block.
Chang the description of the members of Data Set
Select one IED and choose the Data set, logical device (LD) and logical node (LN), we can change the
description of the members of one dataset of one IED in SCL Configurator.
Figure 3.4-1 Data Set
GOOSE control block configuration
Whether the signal will be transmitted or not depends on the GOOSE control block. The GOOSE control
block normally is not configured in an ICD file. If the signal of one IED needs to be transmitted via
GOOSE on network, we should configure the GOOSE control block for this IED according to engineering
application.
The next example illustrates how to configure the GOOSE control block for an IED.
Select the IED choose the GSE Control (GOOSE control block) and Logical device. The configured
GOOSE control block will be listed. If the signal in one dataset will not be sent to other IEDs, in this case
we can delete the GOOSE control of this dataset. In this example the signal in dsGOOSE1 are not used,
we can delete the GOOSE control block gocb1.

3.5. GOOSE input signal configuration
If the IED needs to receive the signal from other IEDs via GOOSE on network, GOOSE input signal shall
be configured. The signal from other IED is external signal. The internal signal is a kind of signal which
value is determined by an external signal. For example, the circuit breaker position signal of a relay, it is
an internal signal of the relay and its value is determined by circuit breaker position signal from IBC
(intelligent breaker controller).
The purpose of GOOSE input signal configuration is to create the mapping relationship between the
internal signal and external signal. If one IED needs to receive the signal from another IED, we need to
configure the GOOSE input signal for this IED. If one IED doesn’t receive the signal from other IEDs, we
don’t need to configure the GOOSE input signal for this IED.
In the next example illustrates the procedure of GOOSE input signal configuration. There are two IEDs in
this example, one is BCU (B001) of line bay and the other is BCU (B002) of BC bay . The BC bay BCU
transmits the position of K02 to line bay BCU (B001).
Configure the GOOSE input signal for BCU of line bay
Step 1: configure the “Inputs”
Select the IED then choose the Inputs and logical device. Configure the GOOSE input signal, first we
shall select the “External signal” attribute page then select the external IED. See Figure 3.5-1 GOOSE
input signal configuration_1
Figure 3.4-1 GOOSE input signal configuration_1
Step 2: Configure external signal
28

Select the S1 access point under the selected IED and extract it by double clicking it. The Datasets (DS)
in S1 access point will be listed under S1. Click one dataset the DA (data attribute) of each member will
be listed under the dataset.
Select the signal which will be transmitted to the line bay BCU from the right side window. Right click it
and add it to the left side window. All the selected external signals will be listed in the left side window.
See Figure 3.5-2 GOOSE input signal configuration_2.
