GOOSE BLASTER
Powerful GOOSE Simulation for Reliable IEC 61850 Testing
SISCO’s GOOSE Blaster is a simulation tool for the test engineer that can simulate GOOSE and Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) messaging for any IEC 61850-based IED in a substation. The GOOSE Blaster allows the test engineer to import a Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file containing descriptions of GOOSE control blocks for one or more IEDs. The test engineer can then configure a messaging sequence with any parameter values and timing for the published GOOSE, creating normal and abnormal scenarios. Once the scenarios are configured, the GOOSE Blaster creates a compiled version and executes the scenario with maximum performance.
APPLICATIONS
Simulate GOOSE and R-GOOSE messaging for IED functional testing
Simulate invalid and out-of-sequence messaging for resiliency and reliability testing
Simulate large numbers of IEDs and GOOSE messages for network load testing
Features
Easy control block configuration by importing standardized SCL files per IEC 61850-6
Fully configurable scenario editing allows the user to create scenarios to simulate any GOOSE messaging with full control over:
Can configure VLAN and priority tags as well as all other message data including sequence, state, sim, CB names, etc. for each message individually
Dataset values can be set for each individual message
Time of transmission can be configured via transmission curves or individually edited
Can execute multiple scenarios simultaneously
Each scenario can be set to run once, repeat for a specified time period or continuously
Runs on any currently supported Microsoft operating systems
