A Electronic accessories | 8 - Ekip Com Profibus DP modules8 - Ekip Com Profibus DP modulesDescription The Ekip Com Profibus DB is a communication accessory module that integrates the circuit-breaker in anindustrial remote supervision and control network.It can be connected to a RS-485 network with a Profibus communication protocol, and allows of:• Connect the trip units as slaves to the network, with dialog functionality.• Command opening and closing of the circuit-breaker from remote.• Provide information on the state of the circuit-breaker (open, closed, tripped).• If mounted on a circuit-breaker in withdrawable version, detect the connected/disconnected position.For more details about how to access information and transmit commands to the trip unit via the module,consult chapter "System Interface" on page 155.Remote opening and closing of the circuit-breaker can be performed only if the circuit-breaker is equippedwith an Ekip Com Actuator module (see page 243).For applications in which a high network reliability is necessary, the module can be installed along with thecorresponding Redundant module.The Redundant module is identical in terms of characteristics and installation, but its wiring is different fromthe non-Redundant model.IMPORTANT: on each circuit-breaker, only one Ekip Com Profibus DP, and only oneEkip Com Profibus DP Redundant can be installed.IMPORTANT: when the circuit-breaker is in the disconnected position, the trip unitis disconnected from the module: in this condition, the only valid informationtransmitted is:• Connection of trip unit to Com module (Trip unit disconnected = disconnected).• CB position (CB isolated / CB connected = CB isolated).• Presence of com module ( = present; only valid for the module to which it is connected).Further details are given in document 1SDH001140r0001 (Communication SystemInterface for Emax 2), sections Status Global 1 [dlog], Status Accessories 1 andStatus Accessories 2.The modules are always supplied with Ekip AUP and Ekip RTC contacts (see the chapter "16 - Otheraccessories" on page 244).Compatibility and power supply The modules can be installed combined with Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch, and G Hi-Touch trip units, andrequire the presence of an Ekip Supply module in the first slot of the circuit-breaker terminal box.
