breaker in an industrial remote supervision and control network.
It can be connected to an Ethernet network with a Modbus TCP communication protocol, and
allows you to:
• Connect the releases to the network, with dialog functionality.
• Command opening and closing of the circuit-breaker remotely.
• Provide information on the state of the circuit-breaker (open, closed, tripped).
• If connected to a circuit-breaker in withdrawable version, detect the connected/extracted.
IMPORTANT: since the modules allow control of the circuit-breaker and access
to the data contained in the release, they can be connected only to networks
that meet all the necessary requirements for safety and prevention of
unauthorised access (for example, the control system network of an
installation). It is responsibility of the installer to make sure that all the
necessary security measures are adopted (for example, a firewall). The modules
cannot be connected directly to the Internet. Connection is recommended
only to dedicated Ethernet networks, with the Modbus TCP communication
protocol.
Remote opening and closing of the circuit-breaker can be performed only if the circuit-breaker
is equipped with an Ekip Com Actuator module (see page 219).
For applications in which a high network reliability is necessary, the module can be installed
along with the corresponding Redundant module.
The Redundant module is identical in terms of specifications and installation methods, but its
wiring is different to the first one.
IMPORTANT: on the same circuit-breaker, a single Ekip Com Modbus TCP,
and a single Ekip Com Modbus TCP Redundant can be installed.
Touch releases, and require the presence of an Ekip Supply module in the first slot of the
circuit-breaker terminal box.
case of a withdrawable circuit-breaker supply the inserted/extracted signal of the moving part
from the fixed part.
The assembly assures that the position signalling is also maintained with the moving part
withdrawn.
IMPORTANT: in the presence of multiple communication modules, only one
of these can be connected to the AUP contacts.
