EKIP COM MODBUS TCP MODULE
Ekip Com Modbus TCP is an accessory module that can function as a communication module integrating the
ITS2.1 in an industrial remote supervision and control network.
As Communication module, it can be connected to an Ethernet network with the Modbus TCP communication,
and allows:
Connect the ITS to the network, with dialog functionality
Provide the status information of the switch or fusegear (open, closed)
Information
Since the module allows access to the data contained in the ITS, it can only be connected
to networks that meet all the necessary requirements for safety and prevention of
unauthorized access (for example, the network of the control system of an installation).
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all the necessary safety measures are
adopted (for example, firewalls, and so on). The module cannot be connected directly to
the Internet, it is recommended to connect it only to dedicated Ethernet networks, with
the Modbus TCP communication protocol.
For the communication bus, a cable of type Cat.6S/FTP must be used (Cat.6 with S/FTP double shielding).
