Continued from the previous page
With the Programmable Logic function, it is possible to program the activation of the Ekip Link up to 4 bits,
each bit according to any combination of the status bits of a trip unit whose IP Address has been inserted.
These four bits are indicated as states A, B, C and D remotely programmable, and their value is transmitted
to the trip unit to which the Ekip Link module is connected.
Exclusively with Ekip Dip trip units: the module can also be used with a function similar to that of the Ekip Com
Modbus TCP module, but only with the possibility to communicate with the ABB master (e.g.: Ekip Connect,
or Ekip Control Panel).
The following table shows the ports used by the module:
Port Service Notes
502/tcp Modbus TCP When the module is used as a Modbus TCP communication module.
18/udp ABB proprietary In case of exchange of fast information between ABB devices.
319/udp
IEEE 1588
When IEEE protocol 1588 is enabled (see paragraph "Configuration",
on page 241).
320/udp
68/udp DHCP Client DHCP Client enabled as an alternative to “Static Address = On”
IMPORTANT: only one Ekip Link can be installed on each circuit-breaker.
If connected to a withdrawable version of the circuit-breaker, the module allows the connected/disconnected
position to be detected.
IMPORTANT: when the circuit-breaker is in the disconnected position, the trip unit
is disconnected from the module: in this condition, the only valid information
transmitted is:
• Connection of trip unit to Com module (Trip unit disconnected = disconnected).
• CB position (CB isolated / CB connected = CB isolated).
• Presence of com module ( = present; only valid for the module to which it is connected).
Further details are given in document 1SDH001140r0001 (Communication System
Interface for Emax 2), sections Status Global 1 [dlog], Status Accessories 1 and
Status Accessories 2.
The modules are always supplied with Ekip AUP and Ekip RTC contacts (see the chapter "16 - Other
accessories" on page 244).
Compatibility and power supply
The module can be installed combined with Ekip Dip, Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch, and G Hi-Touch trip units,
and requires the presence of an Ekip Supply module in the first slot of the circuit-breaker terminal box.
