21 - Additional Ekip Touch functions
Functional characteristics
The Ekip Touch trip unit, in addition to the protection and measurement menus, also allows various operating
and configuration parameters to be set on the screen:
• Line frequency, to set the installation frequency.
• Remote / Local Mode, to set the operating mode and enable editing of parameters and sending remote
commands.
• Local Bus, to enable communication with the terminal modules and communication on the Local Bus.
• Harmonics, to enable the calculation of current and voltage harmonics.
• Power controller, to enable the function Ekip Power Controller.
• Programmable functions, to combine the modification of parameters and configurations to the
programmable inputs of Ekip Signalling modules.
• System, to modify system data such as date, time, language and password.
• Maintenance, to optimize maintenance operations on the circuit-breaker.
Line frequency
The adjustment of the frequency setting is used to set the installation frequency.
In the menu Settings - Main frequency two configurations are available: 50 and 60 Hz.
NOTE: the measurements of voltages and currents are performed according to the grid
frequency set. A wrong setting could cause protection and measurement anomalies.
Local/Remote
In the menu Settings - Modules - Local/Remote you can enable the modification of the parameters and
sending of certain commands remotely, via Ekip Com communication modules.
Enabling Remote Configuration inhibits changing of parameters from display, with the exception of the
parameter Local / Remote.
NOTE: in Remote configuration the inhibition of changes is active if:
• The trip unit is connected to one auxiliary power supply.
• Ekip Com modules are present.
Local Bus
In the menu Settings - Modules - Local Bus you can enable the Local Bus line to allow communication with
all modules mounted on the terminal block or switchgear.
NOTE: the Local Bus alarm is signalled if the trip unit is powered by Ekip Supply, but no
module is connected and the Local Bus parameter is enabled.
Harmonics
Hi-Touch and G Hi-Touch trip unit versions, in the menu Measurements - Harmonic allow you to enable the
check on the current and voltage harmonics.
The harmonics are essential for:
• Network Analyzer function.
• Waveform measurement.
Power Controller
The description of Ekip Power Controller function is available beginning from page 131.
