EKM3 - Protocol converter

EKM type protocol converters are used to connect, to an Ethernet network, devices equipped, at base, only with an RS485 serial port.

    The distinguishing feature of EKM3 converters, compared to previous generation devices (EKM2), is the introduction of functionalities increasing
    resistance of the system against cyber attacks:
    • secure communication with the server via VPN tunnel,
    • logging of all actions taken by the user logged on the device,
    • NTP/PTP-compatible time synchronisation support,
    • configurable firewall,
    • SSL certificate for secure encryption of user account connections with different privilege levels.

    In terms of security, EKMSMART has the same functionalities as EKM3. The difference between the converters only concerns
    the protocols supported. In addition to converting the Modbus RTU protocol to Modbus TCP, EKMSMART also translates the Modbus RTU protocol to IEC61850.
