12 - Ekip Com EtherNet/IP™ modules
Description Ekip Com EtherNet/IP™ is an accessory module that can act as a communication module integrating the
228 | © 2017 ABB | 1SDH001330R0002 - ECN000058721 Rev. A
circuit-breaker in an industrial remote supervision and control network.
It can be connected to an Ethernet network with EtherNet/IP™ communication protocol, and allows you to:
• Connect the trip units to the network, with dialog functionality.
• Command opening and closing of the circuit-breaker from remote.
• Provide information on the state of the circuit-breaker (open, closed, tripped).
• If mounted on a circuit-breaker in withdrawable version, detect the connected/disconnected position.
For more details about how to access information and transmit commands to the trip unit via the module,
consult chapter "System Interface" on page 155.
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 243).
IMPORTANT: since this module allows the control of the circuit-breaker and access
to the data contained in the trip unit, it can only be connected to networks possessing
all the necessary requirements for security and prevention of unauthorized access
(for example, the network of the control system of an installation). It is responsibility
of the installer to make sure that all the necessary security measures are adopted
(for example firewalls and so on). The module cannot be connected directly to the
Internet. Connection to dedicated Ethernet networks through the EtherNet/IP™
communication protocol is recommended.
The following table shows the ports used by the module:
Port Protocol Notes
44818 TCP Encapsulation Protocol (example: ListIdentity, UCMM, CIP Transport Class 3)
44818 UDP Encapsulation Protocol (example: ListIdentity)
2222 UDP CIP Transport Class 0 or 1
68/udp DHCP Client DHCP Client enabled as an alternative to "Static Address = On"
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 characteristics and installation, but its wiring is different from
the non-Redundant model.
IMPORTANT: on each circuit-breaker, only one Ekip Com EtherNet/IP™, and only one
Ekip Com Redundant EtherNet/IP™ can be installed.
IMPORTANT: when the circuit-breaker is in the disconnected position, the trip unit
is disconnected from the module: in this condition, the only valid information
transmitted is:
• Connection of trip unit to Com module (Trip unit disconnected = disconnected).
• CB position (CB isolated / CB connected = CB isolated).
• Presence of com module ( = present; only valid for the module to which it is connected).
Further details are given in document
Interface for Emax 2), sections Status Global 1 [dlog], Status Accessories 1 and
Status Accessories 2.
The modules are always supplied with Ekip AUP and Ekip RTC contacts (see the chapter "16 - Other
accessories" on page 244).
