58 - Ekip Link
Ekip Link is a communication accessory that allows Ekip Touch to be integrated into an internal
Ethernet network with ABB's proprietary protocol.
With the module it is possible to perform the following functions remotely:
Programmable Logic
Power Controller
Zone Selectivity
For these functions the system units involved must have their own Ekip Link, and for each of
these the IP addresses of all the other connected Ekip Links must be entered.
Each device in the Link network is called an Actor.
Each Ekip Link can interface with up to 15 actors, of which at most 12 for the Zone Selectivity
function.
The ports used by the module are:
For fast exchange of information between ABB devices
Valid with IEEE 1588 protocol enabled
DHCP client enabled as an alternative to Static Address = On
IMPORTANT: each XT2/XT4 circuit breaker can accommodate only one
module. Configuration with external communication modules is not permitted if
an internal module is present.
Ekip Link has the following characteristics:
Integrated status contacts (Open/Closed and Trip)
Backup battery for maintaining Date/Time in case of no auxiliary power supply.
NOTE: refer to document 1SDH001000A0509 to replace the backup battery
Refer to the 1SDM000068R0001 wiring diagrams to connect the module to your communication
network and for the terminal references.
The module is supplied with a 1 m cable with RJ45 connector to connect to your network.
To connect the module to Ekip Touch see the instruction sheets 1SDH002009A1502.
The Ekip Links must be connected to a dedicated network with only Ekip Links and Ethernet
switches that support level L2 multicasting.
If the network also includes routers, multicast must be enabled and configured on all L3 level
VLAN interfaces.
