Configurations via menu
Local bus activation, which is essential for starting the communication between module and Ekip Touch, is
available in the
Settings
menu (page 33).
The following communication parameters can be configured if the module has been correctly detected by
Ekip Touch in the
Settings
-
Modules
menu:
Parameter
Description
Default
Static IP address ON
Defines whether the module has a dynamic (Off) IP address or
static (On) IP address
Se = On all the associated parameters are enabled
OFF
Static address IP address
Enables the static IP to be selected
0.0.0.0
Static Network Mask
Enables the subnet mask to be selected
0.0.0.0
Static Gateway address
When there are several subnets, enables the IP address of the
node to which the module is connected to be selected
0.0.0.0
Information in menu
The following information will be available in the
About
-
Modules
menu if Ekip Touch has detected the module
correctly:
Information
Description
SN and version
Identifier and SW version of the module
IP address
Address of the module, assigned to the module by a DHCP server at the time
of connection to the network in the case of configuration with a dynamic IP, or
can be set via the menu in the event of a static IP.
NOTE
:
without a DHCP server, the module automatically adopts a
random IP address within the 169.254.xxx.xxx
range
Network Mask
Subnet mask; identifies the method for recognizing the subnet to which the
modules belong and enables modules to be searched for within a defined set
of recipients.
Gateway address
IP address of the node to which the module is connected, in the presence of
several subnets
MAC address
Address assigned by ABB, with OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) equal to
ac:d3:64, which uniquely identifies the manufacturer of an Ethernet device
Remote configurations
Additional parameters can be accessed via the service connector (via Ekip Connect) or via a system bus
communication:
Parameter
Description
Default
Client/Server
Parameter for changing the configuration of the module from Server
Only to Client and Server and for integrating it into an interactive
data exchange network (see Ekip Com Hub on page157).
IMPORTANT: if Client/Server, the module allows data
exchange like a normal Server function
Server only
Enable IEEE 1558
Allows the IEEE 1588 protocol for distribution of the clock and
synchronization signal to be enabled
(1)
.
OFF
IEEE 1558 Master
Enables the module to be set up as a master in the the network
segment to which it belongs (synchronization clock).
OFF
IEEE 1558 Delay
mechanism
Allows the data exchange mode between module and master,
either Peer-to-Peer or End-to-End, to be selected.
End-to-End
Enable client SNTP
Allows the SNTP protocol for distribution of the clock and
synchronization signal to be enabled
(1)
Off
ANTP Server address
Allows the network server that supplies the SNTP to be set.
0.0.0.0
Time zone
Defines the time zone to be used for synchronism
+00:00
Daylight Saving Time
Used to select whether daylight saving time is present (ON) or not
(OFF) in the country to which the synchronization time refers
OFF
