Correct use As part of a higher-level overall system, the EKS Electronic-Key adapter is used for access control and monitoring on control systems or parts of control systems for machine installations. EKS can be used, for example, as part of an overall system for checking access rights on the selection of the operating mode.
Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP The EKS Electronic-Key adapter is not a safety component in the context of the Machinery Directive. Without additional precautions, the EKS Electronic-Key adapter must not be used to provide a safety function, particularly if failure or malfunction of the device could endanger the safety or health of people in the operating area of a machine.
2 Safety precautions Warning! The EKS Electronic-Key adapter is not a safety component in the context of the Machinery Directive. Without additional precautions, the EKS Electronic-Key adapter must not be used to provide a safety function, particularly if failure or malfunction of the device could endanger the safety or health of persons in the operating area of a machine.
Functional description 3.1.1 Common functions of EKS Standard and version EKS FSA The EKS is used for access control and monitoring on control systems or parts of control systems for machine installations. Instead of passwords, coded Electronic-Keys are assigned. In this way unauthorized access to control and visualization systems is prevented to the greatest possible extent.
Figure 2: Block diagram EKS FSA Due to separate evaluation of channel LA and channel LB, the EKS FSA device can be used in conjunction with a safe evaluation device in safety-related applications. Integrated voltage monitoring switches off the switching contacts LA and LB if the power supply is outside the permitted tolerance (see chapter 4.2).
Dimension drawing of Electronic-Key adapter For installation in a control panel you must provide a cut-out 33 mm x 68 mm according to DIN 43700. 4.1.1 Version EKS-A-IEX-G01-ST02/03 with Ethernet interface 4.1.2 Version EKS-A-IEXA-G01-ST02/03/04 (EKS FSA) with Ethernet interface 2100420-03-05/19 Subject to technical modifications...
Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP Technical data of Electronic-Key adapter Attention! All the electrical connections must either be isolated from the mains supply by a safety transformer according to EN IEC 61558-2-6 with limited output voltage in the event of a fault, or by other equivalent isolation measures.
Power supply DC 0 V Plug-in connection terminal, 3-pin, with screw terminal Function earth Electrically connected to the housing 4.3.2.2 Plug-in screw terminals for outputs LA1/LA2 and LB1/LB2 (EKS FSA only) Channel Function NO contact, channel LA Plug-in connection terminal,...
Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP DIP switch settings The device has three DIP switches (S1, S2, S3). DIP switch Function S1.1 … S1.4; write and read settings (4-fold) S2.1 … S2.8; setting of a fixed DNS name (required only for special applications) (8-fold) S3.1 …S3.4;...
Information! Using the DIP switch S2, it is possible to set an EKS name that is used for addressing the device in the network in conjunction with a DHCP server. This name consists of the fixed code EKS plus a configurable number between 001 and 254 that can be used in all system environments with DHCP support.
Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP 5 Mounting Warning! Mounting must be performed only by authorized personnel. After mounting, again check the Electronic-Key adapter for firm seating and correct sealing on the front panel. Attention! To achieve the degree of protection IP 67, it is necessary to install the Electronic-Key adapter in a clean, flat metal plate at least 2 mm thick and to tighten the screws with a tightening torque of 0.25 ...
Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP 6 Electrical connection Danger! Electrical connection may be performed only by authorized personnel trained in EMC and with the device and wiring isolated. Warning! requirements, a power supply with the feature “for use in class For use and operation as per the 2 circuits”...
Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP 6.1.1 Ethernet configuration Using the DIP switch S3, the Electronic-Key adapter can be configured for the following operating modes (see chapter 4.4.3): With a fixed IP address As a DHCP client with dynamic IP address ...

In the case of the SINUMERIK solution line (sl), EKS communicates with an NCU. Linux is used here as the operating system in the NCU. Simple TCUs (Thin Client Units) with MCPs (Machine Control Panels) are provided at the control station for operation and visualization.
Warning! Incorrect connection or errors in the safety-related integration of the EKS FSA can lead to fatal injury. For this reason, observe the following safety aspects: It is not possible to generate a safe signal by using only the switching contacts LA1/LA2 and LB1/LB2.
IP address of the host computer with which you want to configure the Electronic-Key adapter. Free IP address that can be assigned to the EKS Electronic-Key adapter (not needed if the IP address is obtained automatically from a DHCP server) ...

3. Open the Properties for Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPV4). 4. To ensure that the EKS Electronic-Key adapter and the configuration computer are in the same network, you must assign your configuration PC an IP address in the same subnet mask as the Electronic-Key adapter.
Network card Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) If the configuration PC features a firewall, it may be necessary to enable the EKS Electronic-Key adapter as a trustworthy application. Refer to the firewall documentation for further information. Launching the EKS web interface Information! With this interface, a Java applet is used to display Electronic-Key data on the Information screen.

Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP 2. Click Configuration. The Configuration screen for the EKS web interface is now displayed. 1. Enter the desired IP address and the subnet mask. If the network has a gateway, also enter this information.
ActiveX module is used as a protocol driver for the TCP/IP data transfer protocols described in the following. EUCHNER provides a shared library as the interface to the NCU control system of the SINUMERIK Solution Line (Embedded Linux). Information! EKS is used in read mode only in this system environment.
Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter Ethernet TCP/IP Commands for writing and reading an Electronic-Key read/write Write and read processes are always initiated by the PC/control system using a “command message.” The command message and reply message are also packed as user data in the TCP/IP frame.
Command message TL (device addr.) (start addr. user data) (number of bytes of user data) Reply message (message core, EKS → PC/control system, see Figure 7 or Figure 8): For this command there are two possible replies: RL (device addr.) (start addr. user data) (number of bytes of user data) (user data) ...
EKS_KEY_OTHER Information! The current status of the EKS Electronic-Key can be polled actively at any time using the command identification Ek. The EKS device responds also with command identification Ek and the information on whether an Electronic-Key is in place or not.
