7 - Ekip Com Modbus TCP

Ekip Com Modbus TCP is a communication accessory which allows Ekip Touch to be integrated into an
Ethernet network with Modbus TCP communication protocol, with remote supervision and monitoring
functions.
The module is configured as master and remotely, you can:
• read Ekip Touch measurements and information
• manage certain controls, including opening and closing the actuator
• access information and parameters not available on the display
• If connected to a withdrawable version of the circuit-breaker, the allows the racked-in/racked-out
status to be detected
NOTE: the remote open and close commands of the circuit-breaker can only be executed if
Ekip Touch is in the Remote configuration
The System Interface document is available for mapping the module in its communication network. All the
required communication and command details are listed in the document (page 121).
Accessories Ekip Cartridge and Ekip Supply are required in order to connect Ekip Com Modbus TCP to
TM
Ekip Touch (page 122, 123).
Depending on the parameter settings, described in the next pages, the ports used by the module are:

Port Service Notes
502/tcp Modbus TCP Valid for the Modbus TCP mode
319/udp IEEE 1588 Valid with IEEE 1588 protocol enabled
20/udp
68/udp DHCP client DHCP client enabled alternatively as: Static address = On

Safety and cyber security Since the module allows the actuator connected to Ekip Touch and access to the data in the unit to be
checked, it can only be connected to networks equipped with all the necessary security and prevention
measures against unauthorized access (for example, the network of the control system of an installation).
IMPORTANT:
• it is the 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). The plant manager must establish and maintain appropriate measures (such as
but not limited to the installation of firewalls, application of authentication measures,
encryption of data, installation of antivirus programs, etc.) to protect the product,
the network, the customer system and interface against any kind of security breaches,
unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, loss and/or theft of data or information.
ABB and its affiliates are not liable for damages and/or losses related to such security
breaches, unauthorized accesses, interference, intrusion, loss and/or theft of data or
information.
• The module cannot be connected directly to the Internet. Only connect to dedicated
Ethernet networks with Modbus TCP communication protocol

Models Two different modules compatible with the Modbus TCP protocol are available: Ekip Com Modbus TCP
and Ekip Com Modbus TCP Redundant.
The modules are identical in terms of characteristics and installation methods, except for: display menus,
cabling and addresses for system communication, which are specific for each module.
NOTE: if different indications are not given, the information in the next chapter is valid for
both models

The two modules can be connected at the same time to Ekip Touch so as to expand the potential of the
unit (e.g. for applications where high grid reliability is required).
IMPORTANT: each Ekip Touch can be fitted with only one module per type. The configuration
with two modules of the same model is not allowed (example: two Ekip Com Modbus TCP
Redundant)
