DH-485 Network Interface Module for Quantum
PTQ-DH485
The DH-485 Network Interface Module for Quantum allows Schneider Electric Quantum / Unity I/O compatible processors to interface easily with other DH485 protocol compatible devices. Compatible devices include not only Rockwell Automation PLCs (which support the DH485 protocol) but also a wide assortment of end devices.
Features and Benefits
The PTQ-DH485 module actively issues DH-485 commands to other nodes on the DH-485 network. One hundred user-defined commands are supported by the module on each port. The Quantum processor can be programmed to control the activity on the port by actively enabling or disabling each command directly.
The module also accepts DH-485 commands from an attached DH-485 master unit. The module permits a remote master to interact with all data contained in the module. This data can be derived from other DH-485 slave devices on the network through a master port or from 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: 3x, 4x
- High speed data transfer across backplane provides quick data update times.
- Sample ladder file available.
Applications
The PTQ-DH485 module can be used in any application where DH-485 network connectivity is required with the Quantum platform. Compatible devices on a DH-485 network include:
- SLC 5/03
- SLC 5/05 (RS-232 Channel)
- 1746BAS
- MVI56-BAS
Functional Specifications
The PTQ-DH485 module acts as an input/output module between the DH-485 network and the Schneider Electric Quantum backplane. The data transfer from the Quantum processor is asynchronous from the actions on the DH-485 network. A 4000-word register space in the module exchanges data between the processor and the DH-485 network.
- The module has a Common Interface File (CIF) with 244 words that can be accessed by remote DH-485 nodes
- Read and write commands can be sent associated to the following file types: status, bit, timer, counter, control, integer, float, and CIF
- User-definable module memory usage
- Two ports emulate the DH-485 devices (peer-to-peer) with distinct node addresses
- All configuration information contained in a single, user-defined text file
- Quantum / Unity backplane interface
- All module-related data is contained in an internal database
- Ability to add or remove nodes without disruption of the network
- Baud rates: 9600 or 19200 baud
