The G60 Generator Protection System is provided with optional IEC 61850 communications capability.
This feature is specified as a software option at the time of ordering. Refer to the Ordering section of chap-
ter 2 for additional details.
IEC 61850 messaging can form part of protection schemes. Consider 61850 settings with the same criticality as
protection element settings. To ensure reliable performance of protection schemes utilizing 61850 messaging, it
can be desirable to route 61850 traffic on a separate port from SCADA communications, or to use redundant, inde-
pendent ports, and a high speed network recovery method, such as PRP.
The G60 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported
over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over Ethernet. The G60 operates as an IEC 61850 server. The Remote inputs and outputs
section in this chapter describe the peer-to-peer GSSE/GOOSE message scheme.
The GSSE/GOOSE configuration main menu is divided into two areas: transmission and reception.

The DEFAULT GSSE/GOOSE UPDATE TIME sets the time between GSSE or GOOSE messages when there are no remote out-
put state changes to be sent. When remote output data changes, GSSE or GOOSE messages are sent immediately. This
setting controls the steady-state heartbeat time interval.
The
DEFAULT GSSE/GOOSE UPDATE TIME setting is applicable to GSSE, fixed G60 GOOSE, and configurable GOOSE.
