IEC 60870-5-101 Slave Network Interface Module for Quantum

PTQ-101S

The IEC 60870-5-101 Slave Network Interface Module for Quantum is a Quantum backplane compatible module that allows Quantum processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-101 protocol compatible hosts. This module has two powerful and highly configurable IEC 60870-5-101 Slave ports, allowing the many SCADA and field devices supporting the IEC protocol to be integrated into the Quantum platform.

Features and Benefits

The PTQ-101S module is the fastest and easiest way to add IEC 60870-5-101 protocol interface support to the Quantum platform. It is a single slot, backplane compatible solution for the Schneider Electric Quantum platform.

The PTQ-101S module acts as an input/output module between the IEC 60870-5-101 telecontrol network and the Schneider Electric Quantum backplane. The data transfer from the Quantum processor is asynchronous from the actions on the network. A 4000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the telecontrol network.

General Specifications

• Single Slot - Quantum backplane compatible
• The module is recognized as an Options module and has access to PLC memory for data transfer
• Configuration data is stored in non-volatile memory in the ProTalk module
• Configuration software for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000 and NT is included with the module.
• Up to six modules can be placed in a rack
• Local rack -The module must be placed in the same rack as processor.
• Compatible with all common Quantum programming packages, including Concept (version 2.6 or higher), Unity Pro (version 2.2 or higher), ProWORX (version 2.20 or later), andModSoft.
• Quantum data types supported: 3x, 4x
• High speed data transfer across backplane provides quick data update times.
• Sample ladder file available.

Applications

The PTQ-101S Slave module is designed to address the application where a host systems using the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol must communicate with a Quantum processor. As such, the IEC Slave module can be used as a gateway in many SCADA installations in industries such as:

• Power and distribution applications
• Petrochemical
• Water and Gas Applications
• Oil and Gas production

Functional Specifications

The PTQ-101S module accepts commands from a master on the network. In addition, the module's port can be configured to generate event or periodic unsolicited messages in either a spontaneous or cyclic fashion.

The module has 4000 words of user defined internal register space that are accessible to the protocol driver and to the Quantum processor memory. Any of the supported database types can be individually located (within the total database size limit of 4000 words) and each database point is mapped within the module and can be assigned to one or more Groups.

The supported datatypes are:

IEC 60870-5-101 Slave Specifications

The module accepts commands from a Master to read/write data stored in the module's internal registers. This data is and continuously transferred between the module and the processor's data registers. The IEC 60870-5-101 communication driver is built in accordance to the approved IEC specification.

Functionality supported by the module includes:

• Configurable for balanced or unbalanced mode
• Supports cyclic or spontaneous monitored messages
• Supports clock synchronization commands from a master or from the Quantum
• Event timestamping configurable by type
• Event queue supports 99 points for each data type
• Configurable data link address, Common ASDU address and Information Object Address
• Short and Long pulse duration configurable at module level
• Supports Group interrogation
• An IEC Interoperability Document for the ProTalk is available which fully documents data types supported by the module

Redundant Slave Ports

The module supports a primary/secondary slave port configuration. In this mode, a single host polls the module via redundant physical layer connections. For example, if PRT 2 is connected to a satellite network and the network fails, PRT 3 could be used to communicate with the unit using landlines.
