11 - 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 for the Zone Selectivity function.
The ports used by the module are:
Port Service Notes
18/udp ABB proprietary In the case of rapid exchanges of information among ABB devices
319/udp
320/udp IEEE 1588 Valid with IEEE 1588 protocol enabled
68/udp DHCP client DHCP client enabled alternatively as Static address = On

Accessories Ekip Cartridge and Ekip Supply are required in order to connect Ekip Link to Ekip Touch (page
130, 131).
If connected to a withdrawable version of the circuit-breaker, it is possible to detect the racked-in/racked-
out status

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 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
