6 - Ekip Link

Ekip Link is a communication accessory which allows Ekip Touch to be integrated into an internal Ethernet
network with ABB proprietary protocol.
The following functions can be performed with the remote module:
• Programmable Logic
• Zone Selectivity
To perform these functions, the system units involved must be equipped with their own Ekip Link and for
each of these, the IP addresses of all the other Ekip Link connected must have been entered.
Each devices is defined as an Actor in the Link network.
Each Ekip Link can interface with up to 15 actors, of which up to 12 can be for the Zone Selectivity function.
The ports used by the module are:
Port Service Notes
ABB
18/UDP In the case of rapid exchanges of information among ABB devices
proprietary
319/UDP IEEE 1588 Valid with IEEE 1588 protocol enabled
320/UDP
68/UDP DHCP client DHCP client enabled as an alternative to Static address = On

IMPORTANT: each circuit-breaker can house one module only; configuration with external
communication modules is not allowed if an internal module is present

Characteristics Ekip Link integrates the following characteristics:
• Integrated status contacts (Open/Close and Trip)
• Buffer battery to maintain the Date/Time in the absence of auxiliary power supply.
NOTE: to replace the buffer battery, please consult document 1SdH001000r0509

Connections To connect the module to its communication network and for references about the terminals, please
consult circuit diagrams 1SdM000068r0001.
The module is supplied with a 1-meter length cable and cabled RJ45 connector for interfacing with its
network.
To connect the module to Ekip Touch, please consult document 1SdH002009A1502.

Network The Ekip Link modules must be connected to a dedicated network that includes only Ekip Link and
Ethernet switches for which support for level L2 multicast is declared in the datasheet.
If the network also includes other routers, multicast must be enabled and configured in all the level L3
VLAN interfaces

Programmable Logic Activation of up to four bits of the Ekip Link can be programmed via the Programmable Logic function,
each bit according to any combination of the status bits of an actor of which the IP address has been
entered.
These four bits are indicated as Statuses A B C and D; they are remotely programmable and their value is
transmitted to the device to which Ekip Link is connected
