This manual describes the technical features and the function of the EKS Electronic-Key adapter EKS-A-IIX- G01-ST02/03 with PROFINET interface (order. no. 106 305) as well as the version EKS-A-IIXA-G01- ST02/03/04, EKS For Safety Applications (EKS FSA, order no. 106 306). The complete evaluation and interface electronics for data transmission are integrated into these units.
TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol Transmit Data CE conformity The EKS Electronic-Key adapters with PROFINET interface conform to the EMC directive 2004/108/EG (2004/108/EC, 2004/108/CE). The Electronic-Key adapters comply with the following European / international standards: EN 61000-6-2: 2005 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Electronic-Key. If the selection of the operating mode is relevant for safety, this action must not be performed by means of the EKS; instead an additional device must be used for selection of the operating mode. This is possible via the graphical user interface on the control system, for example.
The EKS Electronic-Key adapter is not a safety component in the sense 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 unit 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 sense 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 unit 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 controllers or parts of controllers for machine installations. Instead of passwords, coded Electronic-Keys are assigned. In this way unauthorized access to control and display systems is prevented to the greatest possible extent.
Electronic-Key (see Figure Block diagram EKS FSA). Figure 2: Block diagram EKS FSA By separately evaluating 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 section 4.2).

Manual EKS Electronic-Key Adapter PROFINET 5 Installation Warning! Mounting must be performed only by authorized personnel. Warning! 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 PROFINET 6 Electrical Connection Danger! Electrical connection may only be performed by authorized personnel trained in EMC and with the device and wiring isolated. Warning! For use and operation as per the requirements, a power supply for use in class 2 circuits must be used.
6.1.1.2 Setting DCP name via DIP switch S2 In this operating mode the DCP name for the EKS is defined by the DIP switch S2. During this process DIP switch S2 defines the suffix for the DCP name EKS-PN-XXX, where XXX can have the values 001 – 255. A prerequisite for this operating mode is that during configuration the DCP name EKS-PN-XXX is used.
With this setting it is also possible to easily change an EKS in case of need for replacement. For this purpose the suffix number for the old EKS is set on the new EKS via DIP switch S2 and the new EKS then fitted.
The danger area on a machine is secured with a fence. To allow set-up work on the machine with the guard open, an EKS FSA system is integrated in conjunction with a control system, an enabling switch and a safety relay.
