2.1 Configuring the Module with ProSoft Configuration Builder
In this step of the setup process, you will use ProSoft Configuration Builder to
configure the parameters that affect the interface between the PTQ module and
the processor (Quantum or Unity). These parameters indicate:
 The physical position of the module in the rack.
HSBY Note: For HSBY units, the local (active) and passive modules must be placed in the
same rack location in both racks.
 The starting memory address in the processor's State RAM for the module's
input and output data images. For the purpose of this example, we use a
starting address of 1000 for the input image and 3000 for the output image.
To begin, verify that the processor is correctly positioned in the rack, and is
powered up. Connect your PC to the PTQ-PDPMV1 module using the supplied
Null Modem serial cable, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The serial port should only be used for initial configuration of the Ethernet port through
ProSoft Configuration Builder.
After the Ethernet settings are correctly configured, only the Ethernet port should
be used for configuration changes, diagnostics, and PROFIBUS monitoring.
