ProTalk Modules

General specifications for ProTalk module include:

•	Single Slot - Quantum backplane compatible

•	The module is recognized as an Options module and has access to PLC memory for data transfer

•	A simple text configuration file, transferred to the module via the Configuration port, sets up and define the module's operation

•	Configuration data is stored in non-volatile memory in the ProTalk module

•	Up to six communication modules can be placed in a rack - up to chassis power supply limit

•	Local rack - The module must be placed in the same rack as Quantum processor, and therefore will not function in remote rack applications

•	Redundancy/Hot Backup - Selected ProTalk modules support the Schneider Electric Unity 140 CPU 671 60 Hot Standby processor

•	Compatible with common Quantum / Unity programming applications, including Concept and Unity Pro XL. For all other programming applications, please contact technical support.

•	Quantum data types supported: 3x and 4x, or 0x, 1x, 3x, 4x (depending on protocol)

•	High speed data transfer across backplane provides quick data update times.

Ladder Logic Requirements

For most applications, ladder logic programming is not required to accomplish data transfer. Instead, the ProTalk module takes advantage of a backplane transfer method that allows data mapping and data transfer to be controlled via configuration in the ProTalk module.

As a result, the only ladder requirements are associated with some optional module control functions (Coldboot, Warmboot, and others)

Configuration/Debug Port Functionality

The ProTalk Configuration serial port connects to a PC for configuration, status monitoring, and troubleshooting (6 foot serial cable included with product shipment). After editing on a PC, a text configuration file is downloaded and stored on the ProTalk module.

When operational, the configuration port allows access to detailed module status data. This port has certain fixed and default configuration parameters that guarantee that applications such as the AFC manager can always speak to the module.

Product Description

Features and Benefits

Applications

Functional Specifications


Product Description

The ProTalk Ethernet Global Data (EGD) module can be used to interface many different protocols with EGD devices. The EGD driver supports both the producer/consumer service port (18246) and the command service port (7937) using the UDP protocol over an IP network. The user defines the data to be produced and consumed in a configuration file downloaded to the module.


Features and Benefits

GE Fanuc Automation and GE Drive Systems developed an Ethernet Global Data, or EGD, exchange for PLC and computer data in 1998. Ethernet Global Data (EGD) offers versatility where a mix of control devices requires cooperation with each other. This involves sharing of information across the applications regardless of device or network type, often at high speed, and with high reliability. High reliability means fewer communication failures and having the ability to detect failures upon occurrence. Particular emphasis is delivered for applications requiring periodic or frequent updates and time synchronization of devices. The protocol supports Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast group messaging. Efficiency is based on the fact each device on the network can produce these types of messages and each device determines which of these messages to consume.


Applications

Use the PTQ-EGD module to connect various field devices using different networks or protocols, and share data between these devices over a wired connection. This is accomplished by exchanging shared common database information with the efficient but powerful Ethernet Global Data protocol.


Functional Specifications

The driver interfaces with a common internal database in the module. This permits the sharing of data across many different networks.

The module supports UDP of service port 7927 (0x1F01) to handle all requests made of the module. The module will only service the requests and generate response messages. It will not generate command requests. The module supports the following functions specified in the EGD protocol:

Code	Description
3	Retrieve Configuration Request
4	Retrieve Configuration Response
7	Summary Request
8	Summary Response
9	Capabilities Request
10	Capabilities Request
15	Statistics Request
16	Statistics Response
18	Command NAK
32	Read Request
33	Read Response
34	Write Request
35	Write Response
36	Masked Write Request
37	Masked Write Response
The producer functionality provided in the PTQ-EGD is used to transfer portions of the module's database to other EGD nodes on the network. The consumer functionality is used to transfer data from other nodes on the network into the module's database.

The PTQ-EGD generates produced data as defined in the user configuration exchange list, from the module's internal database, and is produced at the frequency defined in the exchange list. This data can be broadcast to all nodes or to a specific node on the network.

The PTQ-EGD consumes data as defined in the user configuration exchange list. This data is derived from other nodes on the network and is placed in the module's internal database. If a consumer exchange is not received at the specified timeout, the driver will update the status of the exchange. When the driver again receives the exchange, the status will be updated.
