IEC-60870-5-103 Master

PTQ-103M

The IEC 60870-5-103 Master Communication Module allows Quantum backplane I/O compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-103 compatible devices. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include relays, breakers, sub-station Communication Modules and other serial communication devices used in power monitoring.

Features and Benefits

The PTQ-103M supports up to 32 total field devices between the module's two IEC 60870-5-103 Master ports. The module's communication ports can each be independently configured, allowing two separate field networks to be implemented. The field device data is exchanged between the ProTalk module and the Quantum processor over the backplane.

The PTQ-103M 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 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.

Applications

The PTQ-103M IEC Master module has been designed for applications where field devices supporting the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol must communicate with a Quantum processor. These devices include breakers, relays, sub-station Communication Modules and other serial communication devices. As such, the IEC Master module is a powerful solution for applications in Water/Wastewater, Power, and in the Oil and Gas industries.

Functional Specifications

IEC 60870-5-103 Master Protocol specifications

The PTQ-103M module supports the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol to the following specifications:

• The IEC 60870-5-103 communication driver is built in accordance to the approved IEC specification
• Module memory usage that is completely user definable
• The module has two independent master ports, each configurable via a simple configuration file
• Supports up to 32 sessions (controlled devices) between the two ports
• Supports up to five sectors (separate databases) for each session, with individual database definition for each sector
• Total of 1000 user configurable commands to control data transfer to/from devices (controlled devices)
• Supports clock synchronization from/to the processor
• Event data received from the Control Devices updates the module database (Date and Time stamping is not stored or used by module)
• Class 1 and Class 2 delay parameter are configurable for each session
• An IEC Interoperability Document for the module is available from the web site, which fully documents data types supported by the module
