Danfoss Communication Module



DANFOSS ELECTRONIC CONTROL ACCESSORY

Danfoss EKA Communication Module – LON RS485

The Danfoss EKA Communication Module provides LON RS485 data communication for compatible Danfoss electronic refrigeration controllers, allowing supported controllers to communicate as part of a refrigeration control and monitoring system.

LON RS485 EKA 175 EKA 179A Data Communication Electronic Controls

📡 Communication for Danfoss Refrigeration Controllers

The Danfoss EKA Communication Module is an electronic control accessory designed to add LON RS485 data communication to compatible Danfoss refrigeration controllers.

Once installed in a compatible controller, the communication module enables the controller to participate in supported Danfoss refrigeration communication and monitoring systems.

💡 Important: EKA 175 and EKA 179A Are Not the Same Application

Although both products provide LON RS485 communication, they are designed for different Danfoss controller families. Always select the module according to the controller model.

📋 Available Models

Model Part Number Communication Compatible Controllers
EKA 175 084B8579 LON RS485 EKC 300 / AK-CC 450 / AK-CC 550
