To ensure that ABB Ability EDCS will work prop-
erly, follow these two steps to verify that the sys-
tem and the device are properly configured:
• System check 
• Activate configuration session 
 
Click “Go to discovery.”  With Automatic Discovery

Ekip Connect will scan the whole Modbus net-
work, looking for devices to provision. 
 
With Manual Discovery, it is possible either to pro-
vide the list of specific Modbus RTU or IP ad- 
dresses or to narrow the scan to a particular 
range of addresses. 
 
Manual Discovery is recommended. On the new 
page, select “Manual Discovery settings”

Click on the “Sniff gratuitous ARP packets” box. 
Key in the device IP address of the Ekip E-Hub 
Module and click on the plus symbol. 
For each device connected via Modbus TCP, enter 
the device IP address and click on the plus symbol. 
Alternatively, input the IP address range indicating 
where to scan those devices. In the slave address 
drop-down menu, it is possible to select the ad-
dresses of the slaves connected with Modbus RTU 
communication protocol. 

Then press “OK.” 
Select “Start Discovery.”  

Once the Ekip E-Hub module has been found, enter 
the 16-character password code  printed on the 
left side of the devices, and click on “Let me in.”
