5 - Ekip Com Profibus DP
Ekip Com Profibus DP
is a communication accessory which allows Ekip Touch to be integrated into an RS-
485 network with Profibus communication protocol, with remote supervision and monitoring functions.
The module is configured as a Slave and remotely, you can:
• read Ekip Touch measurements and information
• manage certain controls, including opening and closing the actuator
• access information not available on the display
• If connected to a withdrawable version of the circuit-breaker, the allows the racked-in/racked-out status
to be detected
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).
Accessories
Ekip Cartridge
and
Ekip Supply
are required in order to connect

Models
Two different modules compatible with the Profibus protocol are available:
Ekip Com Profibus DP
and
Ekip
Com Profibus DP Redundant
The modules are identical in terms of characteristics and installation methods, except for: display menus,
cabling and addresses for system communication, which are specific for each module.
NOTE:
if different indications are not given, the information in the next chapter is valid for
both models
The two modules can be connected at the same time to Ekip Touch so as to expand the potential of the unit
(e.g. for applications where high grid reliability is required).
IMPORTANT: each Ekip Touch can be fitted with only one module per type. The
configuration with two modules of the same model is not allowed (example: two Ekip
Com Profibus DP Redundant)
