5.6.7 Ekip Com IEC 61850 -module

The Ekip Com IEC 61850 is an accessory
module that can function as a communi-
cation module by integrating the auto-
matic transfer switch in an industrial re-
mote supervision and control network.
The module is suitable for Level 3 and
Level 4 controllers (LCD and touch control
interfaces) .
It can be connected to an Ethernet net-
work with a IEC 61850 -communication
protocol, and allows you to:
• Connect the automatic transfer switch
to the network, with dialog functional-
ity.
• Provide the status information of the
automatic transfer switch (open,
closed).
• Provide vertical communication (report)
towards higher-level supervision sys-
tems (SCADA) with states and measure-
ments (re-transmitted whenever, and
only if, they change with respect to the
previous report).

Information
Since this module allows the access to the
data contained in the automatic transfer
switch, it can only be connected to networks
possessing all the necessary requirements for
security and prevention of unauthorized ac-
cess (for example, the network of the control
system of an installation). It is responsibility
of the installer to make sure that all the neces-
sary security measures are adopted (for ex-
ample firewalls and so on). The module cannot
be connected directly to the Internet. It is rec-
ommended to connect it only to dedicated
Ethernet networks using the IEC 61850 -com-
munication protocol.
For the communication bus, a cable of
type Cat.6 S/FTP must be used (Cat.6
with S/FTP double shielding).
