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
