Why Choose the ABB 1SDA074168R1 Ekip Signalling 2K-2 Module?
The ABB 1SDA074168R1 is a genuine Ekip Signalling 2K-2 input/output module for compatible ABB SACE Emax 2 air circuit breakers. Identified by ABB as EKIP 2K-2 E1.2...E6.2, it provides two digital inputs and two output signalling contacts for extending the hard-wired monitoring and control capabilities of compatible Ekip-equipped breakers.
The module communicates the state of its digital inputs to the compatible trip unit, allowing the trip unit to be programmed so that input activation corresponds to a defined action. Its two output contacts are likewise controlled by the trip unit and can be programmed to change state when a selected event or combination of events occurs.
The 2K-2 is one of ABB's Ekip Signalling 2K modules and is electrically and functionally equivalent to the other 2K variants while using its own identification, wiring and system addressing. It is suitable for E1.2, E2.2, E4.2 and E6.2 Emax 2 platforms and operates with compatible Ekip Touch-family trip units when the required Ekip Supply module is present.
Key Advantages
- Genuine ABB Ekip signalling accessory.
- Provides two digital inputs and two programmable output contacts.
- Compatible with SACE Emax 2 E1.2 through E6.2 platforms.
- Supports configurable hard-wired signalling, monitoring and control functions.
- Individual status LEDs provide visual indication for each input and output.
- Can expand I/O capacity alongside other compatible Ekip Signalling 2K variants.
- Designed specifically for integration with ABB intelligent circuit-breaker systems.
Key Features
- ABB Ekip Signalling 2K-2 module.
- 2 digital inputs.
- 2 output signalling contacts.
- 4 signalling LEDs, one for each input/output.
- Dedicated power-status LED.
- Compatible with E1.2, E2.2, E4.2 and E6.2.
- Compatible with suitable Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G Touch and G Hi-Touch trip units.
- Requires an Ekip Supply module in the first slot of the circuit-breaker terminal box.
- Output contacts support programmable event-based signalling.
- Designed for hard-wired switchboard automation and status indication.
Programmable Hard-Wired I/O for Intelligent Switchgear
Many intelligent switchboards require direct electrical signals in addition to network communications. Ekip Signalling 2K modules provide this interface by allowing external status signals to reach the trip unit while providing programmable output contacts that can signal selected breaker or protection events to other equipment.
The ABB 1SDA074168R1 adds two digital inputs and two output contacts as the 2K-2 signalling channel. ABB permits one 2K-1 and one 2K-2 module on an E1.2 breaker, while E2.2, E4.2 and E6.2 breakers can accommodate one each of the 2K-1, 2K-2 and 2K-3 variants, allowing signalling capacity to be expanded where the application requires additional hard-wired I/O.
Typical Applications
- ABB SACE Emax 2 intelligent air circuit-breaker installations.
- Hard-wired breaker status and alarm signalling.
- Programmable switchboard interlocking functions.
- External control and indication circuits.
- PLC and industrial automation interfaces.
- Industrial main distribution boards.
- Critical-power and infrastructure switchgear.
- OEM intelligent switchboard assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB 1SDA074168R1 used for?
The ABB 1SDA074168R1 is an Ekip Signalling 2K-2 module that provides two digital inputs and two programmable output signalling contacts for compatible ABB intelligent circuit-breaker systems.
How many inputs and outputs does ABB 1SDA074168R1 provide?
The Ekip Signalling 2K-2 provides two digital inputs and two output contacts, with individual status indication for each input and output.
Which ABB Emax 2 frames are compatible with 1SDA074168R1?
ABB lists the Ekip Signalling 2K-2 for the E1.2, E2.2, E4.2 and E6.2 SACE Emax 2 circuit-breaker platforms.
Does ABB 1SDA074168R1 require an Ekip Supply module?
Yes. For compatible Emax 2 installations, ABB specifies that Ekip Signalling 2K modules require an Ekip Supply module installed in the first slot of the circuit-breaker terminal box.
What is the difference between Ekip 2K-1 and Ekip 2K-2?
The 2K-1 and 2K-2 have the same core electrical characteristics and installation principles, but ABB assigns them different identification, wiring and system communication addressing. This allows both module types to be used in the same compatible breaker to expand the available signalling inputs and outputs.
ABB Signalling Expansion for Intelligent Power Distribution
ABB Ekip Signalling 2K modules provide programmable hard-wired input and output expansion for compatible intelligent circuit-breaker systems, supporting flexible monitoring, indication, interlocking and control within low-voltage power-distribution assemblies.
