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".
