Manual EKS Ethernet TCP/IP The read/write station must be employed and used only in accordance with this manual and other documentation referred to in this manual. The EKS read/write station is not a safety component in the sense of the Machinery Directive. Without additional precautions the EKS read/write station 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.
Mounting and electrical connection are allowed to be performed only by authorized personnel who are familiar with the applicable regulations on accident prevention and have read and understood this manual. Furthermore, mounting and electrical connection of the version EKS FSA must be performed only by personnel familiar with handling safety components. Caution! Modifications to the electronics of the read/write station and any other changes, especially mechanical modifications and reworking, are not permissible and will result in the loss of the warranty.
Electronic-Key. Information! For easier organization and management of your Electronic-Keys and the data they contain, EUCHNER also offers the Electronic-Key-Manager EKM software. To enter data in the EKM software, an Electronic-Key adapter with serial interface or USB interface must be in operation on the PC.

Figure 3: 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 chapters 4.4 and 4.5).
For installation in a control panel, you must provide a cut-out measuring 33 mm x 68 mm according to DIN IEC 61554. 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 2547185-01-10/22 Subject to technical modifications...

Manual EKS Ethernet TCP/IP After the application of the power supply, the device now powers up again with the default IP address. A new, fixed, self-defined IP address can now be set again using the web interface (see above). Information! With the modular interface adapter, the RESET button on the front can be used to disconnect the power supply and restart the device.
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.
4. Place the Electronic-Key in the Electronic-Key adapter. The LED on the front of the compact Electronic-Key adapter or the ACTIVE LED on the interface adapter changes to yellow. 5.

Manual EKS 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. The Electronic-Key-System then sends a reply message to the PC/control system.
Manual EKS Ethernet TCP/IP 8.3.1 Write process Information! When this command is used, the Electronic-Key must be in the Electronic-Key adapter, and must be removed from within the actuating range only after the reply message has been received. Command message (message core, PC/control system →...

Manual EKS Ethernet TCP/IP 8.3.3 Reading the serial number The Electronic-Key read/write also has a unique 8-byte serial number that is permanently written to the memory during the Electronic-Key production process. The serial number therefore cannot be changed. This serial number is used for secure differentiation of every single Electronic-Key.
