IEC 60870-5-104 Server for Quantum

PTQ-104S

The IEC 60870-5-104 Server for Quantum allows Quantum backplane I/O compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-104 protocol-compatible Client hosts.

Features and Benefits

The PTQ-104S module acts as an input/output module between the IEC-870-5-104 Ethernet network and the Quantum backplane. Data transfer between the ProTalk module and the Quantum processor is asynchronous from the actions on the network. Databases are defined by the user for the module to hold data as required by the protocol.

The PTQ-104S module is a powerful communication interface for Quantum platform processors. Developed under license from Schneider Electric, the module incorporates proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful data access to the Quantum processor.

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: 0x, 1x, 3x, 4x
• High speed data transfer across backplane provides quick data update times.
• Sample function blocks available.

Applications

The PTQ-104 Server module is designed to address the application where a device using the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol must communicate with a Quantum processor. As such, the IEC Server 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
• SCADA and DCS applications

Functional Specifications

The PTQ-104S module accepts data read/write commands from a Client (Master) on the network. In addition, the module can be configured to generate 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 database point types are:

IEC 60870-5-104 Server Specifications

Operating in the Server mode, the module accepts commands from a Client(s) to read/write data stored in the module's internal registers. This data is easily and continuously transferred between the ProTalk module and the Quantum processor's data registers.

The IEC 60870-5-104 Server functionality supported by the module includes:

• The IEC 60870-5-104 communication driver is built in accordance to the approved IEC specification
• The module functions as a Server on the network supporting data read/write commands from an IEC 60870-5-104 client on the network
• One TCP server socket
• Supports unsolicited messages, either cyclic or spontaneous (cyclic rate is configurable)
• Supports clock synchronization commands from client or from the Quantum
• Supports Group interrogation (Global, General 1 to 16, Global Counters, Counters 1-4)
• Event timestamping configurable by type (None, 24 bit, 56 bit)
• Event queue supports 99 points for each data type
• Optional user defined list of acceptable client host IP addresses
• Configurable Common ASDU address (sector) and Information Object Address
• An IEC Interoperability Document for the ProTalk is available which fully documents data types supported by the module.
