Scanning via ABB key

Starting the ABB key scan
The procedure for scanning to search for connected devices (Ekip T&P or Ekip Programming) by means of ABB key is described below.

On page Scanning in Connection to devices, click on SCANNING next to T&P: Ekip Connect starts the scan.

IMPORTANT: if the software fails to find the drivers when scanning is started, a window will appear asking for them to be installed. See Installing drivers for ABB key scanning.

Note: while scanning is in progress, it is possible to use Ekip Connect. However, it is not possible to launch another scan.

When the scan is finished, the menu items for the device found will appear and the page Scanning is updated with information about the device. The main page of the device also opens.
Check that the device status is CONNECTED.
Select the required page and start configuring and monitoring the device.

Note: if the scan terminates and no device has been found, consult “Troubleshooting".

Installing drivers for ABB key scanning

When ABB key scanning starts, the respective drivers must already be present. If the system is unable to install them on its own, follow the procedure below and install them manually:

IMPORTANT: to install the drivers, you must have administrator rights.

Step	Action
1	If the software fails to find the drivers when scanning is started, a window will appear asking for them to be installed. In the window displayed, click on OK or Install: the folder containing the executable x.x.x_Driver_Setup.exe opens.
2	Right-click on the executable and select Run as administrator: a window for automatic installation will appear momentarily, after which it will close automatically.
3	To make sure all the drivers are installed, repeat the cation in step 2.
4	Close and restart Ekip Connect.

Note: if difficulties are encountered when the drivers are installed, consult the indications available at http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/InstallGuides.htm.
