5 - Ekip Com IEC 61850

Ekip Com IEC 61850 is a communication accessory which allows Ekip Touch to be integrated into an
Ethernet network with IEC 61850 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 (MOE-E)
• provide information about the status of the circuit-breaker (open, closed, tripped)
• access information and parameters not available on the display
• transmit vertical communication (report) to superior supervision systems (SCADA), with statuses
and measurements (re-transmitted whenever and only if they change with respect to the previous
report)
• transmit horizontal communication (GOOSE) to other actuator devices (example: medium voltage
circuit-breakers), with all the information about status and measurements normally shared by Ekip
Com communication modules via bus.
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 129).
The document also describes the configuration files for the IEC 61850 protocol and relative uploading
procedure for assigning the Technical Name and enabling GOOSE messages (by setting the relative MAC
Addresses)
Depending on the parameter settings, described in the next pages, the ports used by the module are:
Ethertype Port Protocol
0x0800-IP 102 ISO Transport Service on top of the TCP (RFC 1006)
0x88B8 - GOOSE Messages
0x0800-IP 123 UDP NTP - Network Time Protocol
0x0800-IP 69 UDP TFTP - Trivial File Transfer Protocol

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

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 IEC 61850 communication protocol
