3.1 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.
The EKS uses a non-contact, inductive read/write identification system.
It comprises:
f Electronic-Key
f Electronic-Key adapter
The user is responsible for organizing the programming of the application, integration in an overall system and
the assignment and use of the freely programmable memory in the electronic key.
Information!
For easier organization and management of your Electronic-Keys and the data they contain, EUCHNER
also offers the Electronic-Key-Manager (EKM) software. To enter data in the EKM software, an
Electronic-Key adapter with serial interface or USB interface must be in operation on the PC.
The Electronic-Key adapter is a read/write system with integrated evaluation electronics and interface.
Thanks to the use of data transfer without using any contacts, the Electronic-Key adapter has the high degree of
protection of IP 67 from the access side, i.e. it is suitable for industrial use. The Electronic-Key adapter can be
installed in accordance with DIN 43700 in any control panel with a standard cut-out of 33 mm x 68 mm. The
Electronic-Key adapter is fastened by means of screw clamp elements from the rear side of the panel in order to
exclude unauthorized manipulation from the operator side.
The system is connected via the integrated PROFINET interface that is designed as an RJ45 socket. For the
PROFINET connection a separate switch may be required. The device does not have an integrated switch.
Setup and system integration can be realized straightforwardly and quickly on the Electronic-Key adapter with
PROFINET interface.
The current state of the Electronic-Key adapter is displayed using a 3-color LED.
The Electronic-Keys are tag-shaped. The complete transponder without batteries with memory chip and
antenna is integrated into the Electronic-Key.
