Menu
Local bus activation, which is essential for starting the communication between module and Ekip Touch, is
available in the
Settings
menu (page 129).
Two areas are activated if Ekip Touch detects the module correctly:
• information area in the About-Modules menu, containing the software version and serial number of the module
• specific configuration area in the Settings-Modules menu, where the following communication parameters
can be configured

Defines the stop and parity bit; 4 options are available:
• 8,E,1 = 8 data bits, 1 EVEN parity bit, 1 STOP bit
• 8,O,1 = 8 data bits, 1 ODD parity bit, 1 STOP bit
• 8,N,2 = 8 data bits, no parity bit, 2 STOP bits

Remote configurations
The operating configuration can be changed from slave to master via the service connector (via Ekip Connect)
or via system bus communication so as to integrate the module into an interactive data exchange network
(see description of Ekip Com Hub, page 166).
IMPORTANT:
•
In the Master configuration, the module does not allow data exchange as in the normal
Slave function
•
the presence of several masters in the same network can cause faulty operation
Remote information
Certain additional information concerning the version and status of the module is available via the service
connector (via Ekip Connect) or by communication via system bus; the information includes: HW and Boot
version, CRC status (correctness of the SW in the module).
