General information 

1 - General information 

Intended recipients
of this document

This document is intended for system integrators.
A system integrator is an experienced person who is perfectly familiar with how to physically and functionally 
connect different systems (hardware devices and/or software applications) and who works in compliance 
with the laws in force.

Purpose of the manual 

The purpose of this manual is to guide the user step by step through the E-kit commissioning operations. 
The manual includes general information, with details on cyber security, a brief description of the product, 
instructions on how to connect the hardware, instructions on how to configure and use E-kit.

Cyber security disclaimer 

E-kit is designed to be connected and to communicate information and data via a network interface, which 
must be connected to a secure network. 
Solely the user is responsible for continuously providing and guaranteeing a secure connection between 
the E-kit product and the network and establishing and maintaining appropriate measures (for example: 
installation of firewalls, application of authentication measures, data encryption, installation of antivirus 
programs, etc.). The user must protect the E-kit product, the network, his/her system and his/her interfaces 
from all types of security breach, unauthorized access, interference, intrusion, loss and/or theft of data or 
information. ABB and its affiliates are not liable for damages and/or losses related to such security breaches, 
unauthorized accesses, interference, intrusion, loss and/or theft of data or information.

The ports used by E-kit are outlined in the table below 

Protocol

Port

ABB netConfig

UDP 24576

Online access with driver 3S UDP BlkDrvUdp (with scan) 

UDP 1740

Online access with driver 3S TCP/IP BlkDrvTcp (no scan)

TCP 11740

Modbus TCP Server

TCP 502

Web Server

TCP 80/443

FTP Server

TCP 21

Rules for secure use

The Modbus protocol does not provide encryption, authentication or integrity checking of the transmitted 
data.
In addition, the web server uses an http protocol that transmits data in cleartext and which could therefore 
be liable to interception by unauthorized persons. For these reasons, communication via E-kit and the control 
system is not totally secure. 
To protect E-kit and make sure that it functions as expected, it must be connected to a reliable network, that 
is, with restricted access and monitored. In addition, access to E-kit must be limited to persons authorized 
to make changes to the configuration.
If communication between E-kit and a device is interrupted, the web interface of E-kit activates an alarm to 
warn of the fault.
