The following steps are designed to ensure that the processor is able to transfer
data successfully with the PTQ module. As part of this procedure, you will use
Concept configuration software from Schneider Electric to create a project, add
the PTQ module to the project, set up data memory for the project, and then
download the project to the processor.
Important Note: Concept software does not report whether the PTQ module is
present in the rack, and therefore is not able to report the health status of the
module when the module is online with the Quantum processor. Please take
this into account when monitoring the status of the PTQ module.
2.1 Information for Concept Version 2.6 Users
This guide uses Concept PLC Programming Software version 2.6 to configure
the Quantum PLC. The ProTalk installation CD includes MDC module
configuration files that help document the PTQ installation. Although not required,
these files should be installed before proceeding to the next section.
2.1.1 Installing MDC Configuration Files
1 From a PC with Concept 2.6 installed, choose Start → Programs →
Concept → ModConnect Tool.

When you use ProWORX 32 software to configure the processor, using the
example SAF file provided on the ProTalk Solutions CD-ROM will be required.
Important Note: Proworx software does not report whether the PTQ module is
present in the rack, and therefore is not able to report the health status of the
