43 - Ekip Com Modbus TCP
Ekip Com Modbus TCP is a communication accessory that enables Ekip Touch to be integrated
into an Ethernet network with Modbus TCP communication protocol, with remote supervision and
control functions, in two different modes, standard and HTTP server.
The module is configured as master and from remote it is possible to
read Ekip Touch information and measurements
manage certain commands, including opening and closing actuator (MOE-E)
access information and parameters that are not available on the display
if connected to a withdrawable circuit-breaker, check the status of inserted / extracted
NOTE: the remote open and close commands to the switch can be run only if Ekip
Touch is in Remote configuration
To map the module in its communication network, the document System Interface is available
(page 128) that lists the necessary communication and command details.
Depending on the parameters set, which are illustrated on subsequent pages, the following
module ports are used:
Valid for TCP Modbus modes
Valid for Server HTTP modes
Valid with IEEE 1588 protocol enabled
DHCP client enables alternatively to: static address = On
To connect Ekip Com Modbus TCP to Ekip Touch, the Ekip Cartridge (page 129) and Ekip
Supply (page 130) accessories are required.
As the module enables the actuator to be controlled that is connected to Ekip Touch and enables
unit data to be accessed, it can be connected only to networks meeting all the necessary security
and unauthorized-access prevention requirements (e.g. the control system network of a plant).
IMPORTANT:
It is customer's sole responsibility to provide and continuously ensure a
secure connection between the module and customer network or any other
network (as the case may be); customer shall establish and maintain any
appropriate measures (such as but not limited to the installation of firewalls,
application of authentication measures, encryption of data, installation of
anti-virus programs, etc) to protect the product, the network, its system and
the interface against any kind of security breaches, unauthorized access,
interference, intrusion, leakage and/or theft of data or information.
ABB Ltd and its affiliates are not liable for damages and/or losses related to
such security breaches,any unauthorized access, interference, intrusion,
leakage and/or theft of data or information.
The module cannot be connected directly to the Internet; connect only to
dedicated Ethernet networks, with Modbus TCP communication protocol
