DF1 Master/Slave
PTQ-DFCM
The DF1 Master/Slave Communication Module is a Quantum backplane compatible module that allows Modicon Quantum processors to interface easily with DF1 protocol compatible devices and hosts. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include Rockwell Automation PLCs and power monitoring equipment, as well as several other third party devices in the marketplace.
Features and Benefits
The module has two serial ports supporting the DF1 protocol, with each port user configurable to act as a Master or as a Slave. Data transfer between the module and the Quantum processor is asynchronous to the DF1 network, with the module's internal database being used to exchange data between the Quantum processor and the DF1 network.
The PTQ-DFCM 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-DFCM module is the ideal solution for many applications where DF1 Master/Slave protocol connectivity must be added to a Quantum system.
The DFCM solution is a powerful module designed with both Master and Slave support. This broad support enables the module to function as a SCADA sub-master, or to be a powerful slave on in a SCADA system. Applications for the module are found in most industries, especially the Water/Wastewater, Oil and Gas, Electrical Power and Food processing.
- Foreign device data concentrator
- SCADA system pipelines and offshore platforms
- Food processing
- Mining
- Pulp and paper

DF1 Slave Protocol Specifications
The ports on the PTQ-DFCM module can be individually configured to support the Slave mode of the DF1 protocol. When in the Slave mode, the module can accepts DF1 commands from a Master to read/write data stored in the module's internal registers. This data is easily transferred to the Quantum processor's data registers.
