7.1 Product Specifications
The IEC 60870-5-101 Master Communication Module allows Quantum
backplane I/O compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-101
slave (controlled unit) devices.
7.1.1 Features and Benefits
The PTQ-101M module interfaces up to 32 serial communication devices with a
Quantum or Unity processor. Two communication ports on the module act as
controlling devices (masters) to interface with controlled devices on their own
networks. Each port is individually configurable and can be set for balanced or
unbalanced mode. Data is exchanged between the serial network and the
processor using the internal database contained in the module and direct control
by the controller's ladder logic.
7.1.2 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
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 common Quantum / Unity programming tools.
Quantum data types supported: 0x, 1x, 3x, 4x
High speed data transfer across backplane provides quick data update times.
Sample function blocks available.
