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.

2.5 How to Set up and Use the Sample Function Block for Concept
2.5.1 EVENTFB Function Block Overview
The purpose of the EVENTFB sample function block is to transfer the events into
a buffer that consists of an array of elements that stores all data in a convenient
format for the user. The block 9903 passes data into a compacted format thus
occupying the minimum amount of registers. For example, the block 9903
originally reserves the same register for Hour and Minute (one byte for each
value), so the user application would need to extract each value. The EVENTFB
sample function block already extracts each event value into a separate register.
The following illustration shows the structure of each element of the buffer
(extracted from the data type definition file).
TYPE EVENT101:
STRUCT
Session : WORD; (* Session configured for this Master *)
Sector : WORD; (* Sector configured for this session *)
COT : WORD; (* Cause of transmission of the event message *)
Reserved : WORD; (* Reserved*)
PointIndex : ARRAY[0..1] OF WORD; (* This is the point index in remote device
that generated the event*)
ASDU : WORD; (* ASDU Type *)
Milliseconds: UINT; (* Timestamp - milliseconds *)
Seconds: UINT; (* Timestamp - Seconds *
Minutes: BYTE; (* Timestamp - minutes and hours *)
Hours: BYTE (* Timestamp - minutes and hours *)
Month : BYTE; (* This contains the month of the event occurred*)
Day : BYTE; (* This contains the day of the Event occurred*)
Year: WORD ; (* This contains the year the event occurred *)
Qualifier: WORD; (* Point qualifier, quality/sequence value see protocol
specification*)
Value: ARRAY[0..1] OF WORD; (* Data value - data size depends on ASDU type
*)
END_STRUCT;
END_TYPE
The data structure that stores the incoming events consists on a circular buffer
that can store up to 199 events. So the buffer consists on an array of 199
"EVENT101" elements presented previously. The element index can vary from 0
to 199. If the last event updated was located at index 199 then the next event will
be copied to index 0.
The following illustration shows an instance example of the EVENTFB function
block.

The EVENTFB function block contains the following PINs.
PIN PIN Type Data Type Description
Instat input WORD64
ResetEP input/output INT
Events Output EVENTSTRUCT
BlkCount Input/Output INT
LstPoint Input/Output INT
ExtCmd Input WORD
OutCntrl Output WORD64
EventQue Output WORD
EvntOvfl Output WORD
Stores the memory area updated by block 9903.
The start address must point to the same start
address defined for block 9903 backplane data
exchange (Point Address parameter).
Move a value of one to reset the event pointer.
This will cause the next event to be written to
index 0 at the circular buffer. The register will be
automatically reset to zero after the request was
processed. This register should be only used for
very specific applications (because the circular
buffer automatically changes the element pointer
from 199 to 0 after the maximum index was
reached)
Circular buffer that stores all received events in
a convenient format for the user application. It
can store up to 200 events (index varies from 0
to 199). After event 199 is updated the next
event to be received will be automatically
updated at index 0.
Incremented after a block is received (and after
the events in that block have been read into the
circular buffer). The maximum value for this
counter is 1000 (then it is automatically reset to
0)
Pointer to the last event index read from the
module. For example, if last event was updated
at index 5 then this value will have the same
value.
This external command is used so user can
issue different commands while the module
receiving events.
Stores data to be sent from the processor to the
module the start address it should match what
you configured your backplane exchange to
start.
Indicates how many events are in the queue to
be read.
This will be set to yes (1) if the overflow flag is
set due to 199 events in the queue waiting to be
read.
Before You Begin
1 Make sure that your computer has the Concept Programming Unit installed.
2 The PTQ-101M firmware revision must support the event pass-thru
functionality. This feature is available for version 1.12 or later. Refer to the "V"
menu for the SOFTWARE REVISION LEVEL (page 97) value at the debug
menu of the PTQ-101M module.
3 Using Windows Explorer create a folder for your Concept project with a
"DFB" subfolder. This procedure will consider as an example the folder
C:\PROJECT\DFB, where:
o C:\PROJECT- will store the main Concept project (.PRJ)
