TAL = Time Allowed to Live

Remarks:
A GOOSE message will be accepted and processed by the subscriber in DUT:
• Even if it is received after expiration of the time alllowed to live sent in the previous message,
• Even if the new state number is not equal to the incremented value of the previously received
state number - it is enough that it is not equal to the last received state number,
• If the state number differs from the previously received state number, the sequence number is
accepted with any value (if the state number is equal to the previously received state number,
the message is treated as retransmission),
• Even if the received message contains a dataset of the size different than the size of the
previously received dataset.
The value of numDatSetEntries from the header determines how many data entries from the message
are processed. With numDatSetEntries = 0 no data entries are processed from the received message.

Remarks:
• Additional cause Abortion-by-cancel is returned after the first Operate command that follows
successful Cancel command (the next Operate will produce additional cause Object-not-

• In DOns model: When two client sends Operate request with very short interval (e.g. 10ms)
then for processing the second command the object position is still unchanged due to the first
command, thus both clients receive positive Operate response.

6. TICS details

6.1 Introduction
This part of the document is based on a template for the tissues conformance statement. According to
the UCA IUG QAP the tissue conformance statement is required to perform a conformance test and is
referenced on the certificate.

6.2 Mandatory Intop Tissues

During the October 2006 meeting IEC TC57 working group 10 decided that:
• green Tissues with the category “IntOp” are mandatory for IEC 61850 edition 1
• Tissues with the category “Ed.2” Tissues should not be implemented.

Below table gives an overview of the implemented IntOp Tissues.
