functions such as communication on the Local Bus or recording of manual operations.
The auxiliary power can be supplied by the modules of the Ekip Supply range (for further functional details,
see page 177), or with direct connection to a terminal box.
The direct connection must be made guaranteeing the following operating conditions:
