Information on the loads
The Basic Information and Settings page of the master also provides information on the state of the loads:
• Under Load Requested Status, the desired state of the loads (connected or not) is indicated.
• Under Load Input Status, the actual state of the loads is indicated.
• Under Load Alarm, any non-correspondence between desired state and actual state of the loads is indicated.
• Under Load Active Flags, any non-availability of the loads is indicated.
Setting the Ekip Link module
For load monitoring via Link Bus, the Ekip Link modules of both the master and the slaves must be set
appropriately. Specifically, in the Ekip Link Configuration page activated from the Ekip Link module:
• On the master, the IP addresses of the slaves must be inserted.
• On the slaves, the IP address of the master must be inserted.
At this point, for each actor associated to a trip unit (for each IP address inserted in the page of the Ekip Link
module), the parameters to be set are displayed:
• The value "True" must be assigned to the Power Controller Master parameter if the actor is to act as a
master. Otherwise, the value "False" shall be assigned.
• The value "True" must be assigned to the Power Controller Energy Meter parameter if the actor musts
end information to the trip unit regarding its own energy consumed (for calculating the total energy of the
installation). Otherwise, the value "False" shall be assigned.
NOTE: by default, all the actors are set as slaves, therefore the trip unit for which the Ekip
Link is being set is the master of the function (which is, however, not activate unless it is
enabled on the Advanced Information and Settings page).
Setting the signalling modules
The inputs and the outputs of the signalling modules must be configured appropriately. For details, see chapters
“5 - Ekip Signalling 4K module” and “6 - Ekip Signalling 2K modules”, and the manual 1SDH001318r0002
of the Ekip Signalling 10K modules.
In particular, the outputs must be configured:
• By selecting the value “Custom” for the Signal Source parameter and the load to which the output is to
be bound from the PC Load Output Status lists: the output will be enabled in order to connect the load
or the generator, and disabled in order to disconnect it.
• By setting an activation delay of at least 1 second.
• By selecting the value “Power Controller” for the min activation time parameter, if you wish the closing
command to be impulsive.
Wizard
To facilitate the setting of the function, under the heading "Tools" in the menu, the Ekip Connect software
provides the Power Controller wizard, which guides the user step by step and automatically creates
configurations based on the choices made by the operator.
Access from the display
For the parameters to be set and the information regarding the function available on the display, see the
chapter “23 - Ekip Power Controller".
