6 - Ekip Link
Ekip Link
is a communication accessory which allows Ekip Touch to be integrated into an internal Ethernet
network with ABB proprietary protocol.
The following functions can be performed with the remote module:
• Programmable Logic
• Power Controller
• Zone selectivity
To perform these functions, the system units involved must be equipped with their own
Ekip Link
and for each
of these, the IP addresses of all the other
Ekip Link
connected must have been entered.
Each devices is defined as an Actor in the Link network.
Each
Ekip Link
can interface with up to 15 actors, of which up to 12 can be for the Zone Selectivity function.
The ports used by the module are:

Connections
To connect the module to its communication network and for references about the terminals, please consult
circuit diagrams
.
The module is supplied with a 1-meter length cable and cabled RJ45 connector for interfacing with its
network.
To connect the module to Ekip Touch and to actuator MOE-E if present, please consult document
.
Network
Ekip Link
modules must be connected to a dedicated network that includes only Ekip Link modules and
Ethernet switches for which support for level L2 multicast is declared in the datasheet.
If the network also includes other routers, multicast must be enabled and configured in all the level L3 VLAN
interfaces
Programmable Logic
Activation of up to four bits of the
Ekip Link
can be programmed via the Programmable Logic function, each
bit according to any combination of the status bits of an actor of which the IP address has been entered.
These four bits are indicated as Statuses A B C and D; they are remotely programmable and their value is
transmitted to the device to which
Ekip Link
is connected
