Section 4 Establishing connection and verifying theIEC 61850 station communication4.1 Setting the station communicationTo enable IEC 61850 station communication:• The IEC 61850-8-1 station communication functionality must be on in thelocal HMI. Navigate to Main menu/Configuration/Communication/Stationcommunication/1:IEC61850-8-1 and set the parameter Operation to On.• To enable GOOSE communication the Operation parameter for thecorresponding GOOSE function blocks (GOOSEBINRCV andGOOSEINTLKRCV) must be set to On in the application configuration.• To enable GOOSE communication via the front port the parameter GOOSE inMain menu/Configuration/Communication/Station communication/IEC61850-8-1 must be set to Front. To enable GOOSE communication viarear port the parameter GOOSE must be set to LAN1.4.2 Verifying the communicationConnect your PC to the nearby switch and ping the connected IED and theSubstation Master PC, to verify that the communication is working (up to thetransport layer).The best way to verify the communication up to the application layer is to use aprotocol analyzer, for example, an Ethereal that is connected to the substation bus,and monitor the communication."1MRK 504 126-UEN - Section 4Establishing connection and verifying the IEC 61850 station communication29Commissioning Manual
