5.6.4 Ekip Com Modbus TCP -module

Ekip Com Modbus TCP is an accessory
module that can function as a communi-
cation module integrating the automatic
transfer switch in an industrial remote su-
pervision and control network or as an
HTTP Server. The module is suitable for
Level 3 and Level 4 controllers (LCD and
touch control interfaces) .
As a communication module, it can be
connected to an Ethernet network with
the Modbus TCP communication, and
allows:
• Connect the automatic transfer switch
to the network, with dialog
functionality.
• Provide the status information of the
automatic transfer switch (open,
closed).

As an HTTP Server, connected to an Ether-
net network it allows read-only access to
the information of the automatic transfer
switch. This access is possible through a
browser, inserting the IP address of the
module as the URL. Once the switch has
been found, a login page is opened that
asks for the user password to be inserted,
which is the same password to be in-
serted in the display in order to edit
parameters.
Information
Since the module allows access to the data
contained in the automatic transfer switch, it
can only be connected to networks that meet
all the necessary requirements for safety and
prevention of unauthorized access (for exam-
ple, the network of the control system of an
installation). It is the installer's responsibility
to ensure that all the necessary safety mea-
sures are adopted (for example, firewalls, and
so on). The module cannot be connected di-
rectly to the Internet. It is recommended to
connect it only to dedicated Ethernet net-
works, with the Modbus TCP communication
protocol.
For the communication bus, a cable of
type Cat.6 S/FTP must be used (Cat.6
with S/FTP double shielding).
