Install the ProTalk Module in the Quantum Rack
1 Place the Module in the Quantum Rack. The ProTalk module must be placed
in the same rack as the processor.
2 Tilt the module at a 45° angle and align the pegs at the top of the module with
slots on the backplane.
3 Push the module into place until it seats firmly in the backplane.
Caution: The PTQ module is hot-swappable, meaning that you can install and remove it while the
rack is powered up. You should not assume that this is the case for all types of modules unless the
user manual for the product explicitly states that the module is hot-swappable. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in damage to the module and any equipment connected to it.

This parameter specifies the database location where to write status data.
5.2.4 Initialize Output Data
Yes or No
This parameter determines if the output data for the module should be initialized
with values from the processor. If the value is set to No (0), the output data will
be initialized to 0. If the value is set to Yes (1), the data will be initialized with
data from the processor. Use of this option requires associated ladder logic to
pass the data from the processor to the module.
5.3 Backplane Data Exchang e
Before modifying the [Backplane Data Exchange] section of the configuration file,
you must understand some important concepts. The following topics describe
these concepts.
If you have used the parameters defined in the [Module] section, you have
created the following memory map. We will use this map to explain how data
transfer works between the processor and the ProTalk module.
PTQ Memory Address
…
A thorough understanding of the information contained in this section is required
for successful implementation of the module in a user application.
5.3.1 Data Transfer
The module uses a concept referred to as "Command Functions". The command
functions reside in the [Backplane Data Exchange] section of the configuration
file. This method of data transfer is probably different from other methods you
might have used, but does offer some unique advantages:
The amount of ladder logic required will be substantially reduced; in fact in
many applications no ladder logic will be required.
The module may be placed in any position in the chassis containing the PLC
and will operate with no modifications.

12TUser Manual 46TIEC 60870-5-104 Server for Quantum
Refer to PTQ-104S Protocol Implementation (page 131) to see how this method
works. It contains a very simple example of reading and writing to the PLC and
should help to illustrate the concept. If you have the equipment available to use
this would be a great way to get a feel for the command functions used to
transfer data. The following discussion is generic in nature and is meant outline
the steps required to create your first application.
5.3.2 Defining Data to be Sent to the PTQ Database
You might be asked to provide access to 207 words of information for other
devices on the network. This information resides in the PLC at addresses 400001
to 400207 and you must make this the first 207 words of the database inside the
module. This would require the use of "Command Function 1".
Because the total amount of data exceeds the maximum length of any single
command function, you will need two entries in the [Backplane Data Exchange]
section of your configuration file. This might look like the following:

5.3.3 Defining Data to be Retrieved from the PTQ Database.
Your application may need to retrieve 105 words of data from other devices on
the network. These devices have either sent you the data if you are a server, or
you have obtained it for your use if you happen to be a master in your
application. Assuming that the data resides in registers 207 to 312 within the
PTQ modules memory and you wish to place this information in addresses
400208 to 400313 within the Quantum you could use Command Function 2 to
transfer the information.
Because the total amount of data does not exceed 130 words in length, a single
command can be used to transfer the data. This additional entry will be added to
our [Backplane Data Exchange] section and it would look like the third command

5.3.5 Implementing Ladder to Support Special Functions.
The previous discussions about Command Function 1 and Command Function 2
have not required that you implement any form of logic within the PLC, however if
you are required to use the Command Function 3, you must implement some
form of control logic. The following section uses structured text language to
illustrate how a typical function might be implemented.
Example: Rebooting the module
(*
MyTrigger is an alias for register 401000
MyFunction3 is an alias for register 400500
MyData1-MyData63 are aliases for 400501-400563
The premise for this logic is:
IF MyTrigger = SOMEVALUE THEN
Fill the buffer;
set MyFunction3 to the appropriate value;
Clear MyTrigger with a 0;
END_IF;
*)
IF MyTrigger = 9999 THEN
MyFunction3 := MyTrigger;
MyTrigger := 0;
END_IF;
Example: Setting / Retrieving the time of day
(*
Block ID 9971 - Set Modules Time using the PLC’s Time
Assumption:
The MyYear, MyMonth and so on... values for time and date represent
aliases for your time source.
MyTrigger is an alias for register 401000.
*)
IF MyTrigger = 9971 THEN;
MyData1 := MyYear;
MyData2 := MyMonth;
MyData3 := MyDay;
MyData4 := MyHour;
MyData5 := MyMinute;
MyData6 := MySeconds;
MyData7 := MyMillisec;
MyFunction3 := 9971;
MyTrigger := 0;
END_IF;
(*
Block ID 9970 - Set PLC’s time using the modules time
Assumption:
The MyYear, MyMonth and so on... values for time and date are
representative of your aliases for your time source.

48TPTQ-104S Rev 1 ♦ 47TQuantum Platform Module Configuration
46TIEC 60870-5-104 Server for Quantum 12TUser Manual
MyTrigger is an alias for register 400010.
*)
IF MyTrigger = 9970 THEN;
MyFunction3 := MyTrigger;
IF MyFunction3 = 0 AND MyData1 = 9970 THEN;
MyYear := MyData2;
MyMonth := MyData3;
MyDay := MyData4;
MyHour := MyData5;
MyMinute := MyData6;
MySeconds := MyData7;
MyTrigger := 0;
END_IF;
END_IF;
The previous examples all utilize structured text for the process control logic but
follow the same basic program flow.
1 Copy the data related to the block function into registers 400501 to 400563
as required.
2 As your last step, copy the BLOCK ID number of the special function into
register 400500.
3 Clear your permissive condition.
The module will read the data in and either clear the registers in the array, or
return the requested data and clear the Block ID register (400500 in this
example).
5.4 Modify the [Backplane Data Exchange] Section
The previous sections provided an overview of what is required to modify the
[Backplane Data Exchange] section. With this information, you are now ready to
make the necessary modifications to the configuration file to work with your
application.
The following is an example of a typical [Backplane Data Exchange] section:
ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 63 of 201
March 4, 2013
Module Configuration 48TPTQ-104S Rev 1 ♦ 47TQuantum Platform
12TUser Manual 46TIEC 60870-5-104 Server for Quantum
This example shows an application that reads 207 words from the Quantum to
the module and writes 105 words from the module to the Quantum.
The [Backplane Data Exchange] section is a series of messages that instruct the
module how to transfer data to/from the Quantum. What is missing from the
message is the ability to schedule its execution. This ability is normally left to the
programmer in the PLC environment. However, in the PTQ module this is not
included so that the commands may run as fast as possible to maintain the
synchronization of the two databases. One command from the list will execute
during each I/O service interval at the end of the PLC ladder logic evaluation. So
as an example if your configuration contains 10 "Backplane Data Exchange"
commands it will require 10 PLC scans to process the entire list.
This section may contain up to 100 individual commands used in any
combination to transfer data to/from the Quantum. The following topics provide
information on the use of the commands as well as simple examples.
5.4.1 Set Up Command Function 1 (Read data from the Quantum)
This section provides information on how to read data from the Quantum into the
module.
Command Function 1 is designed to transfer data from the Quantum to the
module on a continuous basis. The command(s) required to transfer your
application data should be entered in the [BACKPLANE DATA EXCHANGE]
section of your configuration file as required.
This command takes the following parameters:
Command type: 1 (Read data from the Quantum)
PTQ Database Address: The destination for the data retrieved from the
Quantum.
Point Type: The type of register within the Quantum (0:x = 0, 1:x = 1 3:x = 3
or 4:x = 4)
Quantum Address: The source of the data within the Quantum. The address
is expressed without the use of the register range, for example 400001 would
be entered as 1 (400001 - 400000 = 1 or 40001 - 40000 = 1)
Word Count: The number of words to copy. The length of this copy may be
any length of 1 to 130 inclusive. If your application requires the movement of
additional data you may enter additional commands.

Example 3:x or 4:x Register Transfer
The following example shows a typical command used to read 4:x data from the
Quantum. In this example, registers 400001 to 400099 from the Quantum will be
transferred to registers 0 to 99 within the module.
Example 0:x or 1:x Register Transfer
The transfer of Coils and Input bits require some forethought as the command
transfers words and not bits. This means that if you want to transfer bits 000005
to 000007 from the Quantum to word 21 in the module you would have to
transfer the word within the Quantum containing bits 000001 to 000016 to a
word within the modules memory.
Take care with the transfer of bits while planning the application so as to optimize
the usage of the available bits and to preserve the integrity of your information.

5.4.2 Set Up Command Function 2 (Write data to the Quantum)
This section provides information on how to write data from the module to the
Quantum.
Command Function 2 (two) is designed to transfer data from the module to the
Quantum on a continuous basis. The command(s) required to transfer your
application data should be entered in the [BACKPLANE DATA EXCHANGE]
section of your configuration file as required.
This command takes the following parameters:
Command type: 2 (Write data to the Quantum)
PTQ Database Address: The source of the data within the PTQ to be sent to
the Quantum.
Point Type: The type of register within the Quantum (0:x = 0, 1:x = 1 3:x = 3
or 4:x = 4)
Quantum Address: The destination register within the Quantum. The address
is expressed without the use of the register range, for example 400001 would
be entered as 1 (400001 - 400000 = 1 or 40001 - 40000 = 1)
Word Count: The number of words to copy. The length of this copy may be
any length of 1 to 130 inclusive. If your application requires the movement of
additional data you may enter additional commands.

Example 3:x or 4:x Register Transfer
The following example shows a typical command used to write to the 4:x
registers within the Quantum. In this example, registers 207 to 312 from the PTQ
will be transferred to registers 400208 to 400313 within the Quantum.
Example 0:x or 1:x Register Transfer
The transfer of Coils and Inputs require some forethought as the command
transfers words and not bits. This means that if you wanted to transfer the word
containing the bits 805 to 806 from the module to the Quantum you would
transfer the entire 50
th
word of the modules memory into the destination register
in the Quantum. The following command transfer bits 800 to 815 (Word x Bits =
Bit Address or 50 * 16 = 800) from the modules memory to word 1 of the coils
(000001 to 000016) within the Quantum.
Take care with the transfer of bits while planning the application so as to optimize
the usage of the available bits and to preserve the integrity of your information.

The following example shows how this could be accomplished.
5.4.3 Set Up Command Function 3 (Special Functions)
This section provides information on how to request the module to perform
special non-typical functions that may be required by an application.
Command Function 3 if required should be the first item entered in the
[BACKPLANE DATA EXCHANGE] section of your conf iguration file.
This may be used with all modules to implement the following functionality:
Force a reboot of the PTQ module (Special Function 9998 or 9999 available
on all products)
Set / Retrieve Time and Date (DNP and IEC only!)
Register events with the protocol (DNP and IEC only!)
Other modules may implement additional functionality, which will be described in
the Special Functions section of this manual.
This command takes the following parameters:
Command type: 3 (Control Block)
PTQ Database Address: This value is ALWAYS 0. Note: This will NOT
overwrite your application database in the PTQ but merely serves as an
additional flag to notify the module of the unique nature of the command.
Point Type: The type of register within the Quantum (0:x = 0, 1:x = 1 3:x = 3
or 4:x = 4)
Quantum Address: The source register within the Quantum. The address is
expressed without the use of the register range, for example 400001 would
be entered as 1 (400001 - 400000 = 1 or 40001 - 40000 = 1)
Word Count: This value is ALWAYS 64. Care should be taken to assure that
64 words of memory are available within the Quantum.

The following example shows a typical command used to retrieve a special
function command from the Quantum. In this example, registers 400500 to
400563 from the Quantum will be used to provide the information required by the
module.
The following section shows the functions that may be performed by using the
Command Function 3.
5.4.4 Read Status (9250)
Use block 9250 to request the module's status data. The module supports a
buffer queue of 99 events per data type. The application can verify the status of
the queue (free space in the queue) through the module's status data (Block
9250). When the queue is full, the module will delete the older event in the queue
if a new event is received.
There are two ways to request status data:
Read the data in the database, starting at word 4000. Refer to Error Status
Table (page 176) for detailed information.
Request the entire status block with a block 9250 block request.

Block 9958 is reserved to send event messages from the processor to the
module. Each block can send up to 10 events to the module. If a value of 9958 is
placed in the control register, event messages are sent from the processor to the
module. Refer to Events (page 161) for more information about time stamped
events.
The module supports a buffer queue of 99 events per data type. When the queue
is full, the module will delete the older event in the queue if a new event is
received.
This block should only be used to pass events with a predefined timestamp (the
module will also send time stamped events when database values change).
While using block 9958, disable the events for those specific points (refer to
Group Interrogation table) to avoid multiple event generation (caused by point
value update through the database).

If the processor places a value of 9998 in this register, the module will perform a
warm-boot operation. If the processor places a value of 9999 in this register, the
module will perform a cold-boot operation. In this application module, both of
these operations perform the same function. They exit the program and then
restart the program. Many of the program parameters set in the user
configuration must be set at program initialization and cannot be set while the
program is running. Therefore, both functions operate the same way.
5.5 [SNTP CLIENT]
The [SNTP CLIENT] section is used to specify the parameters for the Simple
Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Client provided with the protocol driver. This
client is read in order to keep the driver's internal clock set correctly. This version
of the driver supports SNTP Revision 3 and stratum between 1 and 14.
SNTP is used for time synchronization of produced and consumed commands.
When an exchange occurs the driver compares time stamps from the previous
exchange. When the new exchange time is less than the previous exchange, the
exchange is ignored. This can occur when the Ethernet packets are routed and
delayed. Time synchronization provides for data integrity.

The SNTP driver will compute a new clock value every 5 minutes using the
average value of 10 samples each collected over an approximate 6-second
period. This new value will be used to adjust the clock maintained by the SNTP
driver and used by the application. If a valid database register is specified, the
driver will place the time value into the module's database. The first two registers
will contain the number of seconds and the next two registers will contain the
number of microseconds since January 1, 1970.
A list of some of the common NTP servers can be obtained at http://www.ntp.org/
or, http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome
Other server lists can be found by searching the World Wide Web for "NTP
Servers".

Enter in dotted notation
This parameter sets the IP address of the NTP server to utilize for time
acquisition. Select an NTP server with the greatest accuracy that can be
accessed all the time from your network. Setting this IP address to 0.0.0.0
disables SNTP server requests.
5.5.2 Time Zone
-11 to 11
This parameter specifies the time zone offset to be used from the UTC time
zone. A value of zero uses UTC time. If the value entered is positive, the time
zone is west of the UTC time zone (that is, Eastern Standard Time is 5). I f the
value entered is negative, the time zone is east of the UTC time zone (that is,
Continental Europe is -1).

This section defines priority queues for the module. You can assign priorities to
data types that can return events so that events of M_IT_NA data types will be

5.6.23 Cyclic Set IV Time
1 to 65535 seconds, or 0 to disable Invalid Bit Monitoring
The parameter should be set to a value significantly greater than the value of the
IV Check Delay Time parameter, multiplied by the value of the IV Fail Count
parameter. Example:
If, IV Check Delay = 3
And, IV Fail Count = 5;
Then set Cyclic Set IV Time significantly greater than 15; preferably some
multiple of this value, like 30, 45, 60,
The Cyclic Set IV Time parameter is one of three parameters needed to establish
a fail-safe data validation system for this protocol implementation. This parameter
is used with the IV Check Delay Time and the IV Fail Count parameters to create
a way to alert the remote IEC-104 Client to situations where data being sent by
the module might be invalid.
Use the Cyclic Set IV Time parameter to set how frequently the Invalid (IV) Bits
assigned to IEC database monitor points (M_xx_xx points) will be set ON. This
means that all the IEC database monitor points configured with IV Bit addresses
greater than zero (0) will have their IV Bit addresses in the module database set
to a value of one (1) in a timed, periodic cycle, based on the number of seconds
entered in Cyclic Set IV Time.
The IV Bits are checked at the interval specified by the IV Check Delay Time
parameter. At the end of each check delay interval, if an IV Bit for any IEC
database point is ON, an IV Bit Check Fail accumulator for that point will be
incremented. If the value in any IV Bit Check Fail accumulator becomes equal to
the value of the IV Fail Count parameter, the module will consider the data value
of that point invalid and will report the invalid status of that point to the Client
along with the data value.
If the IV Bit is cleared (reset, set OFF, set to zero) before the IV Bit Check Fail
accumulator value becomes equal to the value of the IV Fail Count parameter,
the IV Bit Check Fail accumulator will be reset to 0. The module will consider the
data value of that point valid and will report the data value to the Client as valid.
To properly use data validity checking with a ProTalkQ rack-mounted module for
Modicon Quantum processor systems, the logic application running in the
processor that communicates to the module through a backplane input/output
driver must be programmed to provide data validity information, as well as the
actual data to be transferred. This logic application must write bit values of zero
(0) or one (1) to the proper module database addresses along with the data for
each IEC database point.

This means the other protocol application or the logic application will be
responsible for clearing the IV Bits for data points which contain valid data at a
time interval less than the amount of time required to accumulate the required
number of IV Bit Check failures. In cases where ProTalkQ modules are used,
backplane communication happens so quickly that cyclic setting of th e IV Bits will
be quickly undone by data transfers from processor memory. Howev er, if the
process logic or other protocol application does not clear the IV Bits set by
firmware, then all IEC database monitor point values will be reported to the Client
as invalid.
NOTE: If one or more of the Cyclic Set IV Time, the IV Check Delay Time, or the IV Fail Count
parameters are set to zero, the data validity checking feature will be disabled for all points in the
IEC database and the data reported to the remote Client will always be reported as valid data. If
you wish to have actual data validity information relayed to the Client, be sure the Cyclic Set IV
Time, the IV Check Delay Time, and the IV Fail Count parameters are set to non-zero values and
be sure the application has been programmed to properly manipulate the IV Bit addresses in the
module database. Once data validity checking has been enabled, you can still turn off validity
checking on a point-by-point basis by setting the IV Bit Address to zero (0) for any point you wish to
exclude from data validity checking and reporting.
For more information on the data validity features of this protocol implementation,
refer to Invalid Bit Monitoring (page 169).
5.6.24 IV Check Delay Time
1 to 65535 seconds, or 0 to disable Invalid Bit Monitoring
This parameter sets the number of seconds between IV Bit value checks. Every
IEC database monitor point which has an IV Bit address set greater than 0 will
have that bit address checked at the interval specified by this parameter.
Setting this parameter to zero (0) will disable data validity checking.
5.6.25 IV Fail Count
1 to 65535 seconds, or 0 to disable Invaild Bit Monitoring
This parameter sets the number of successive IV Bit check failures which must
occur before the data from a IEC database monitor point will be reported to the
remote Client as invalid data.
An IV Bit Check Failure occurs when the IV Bit value in the module database is
set ON {when it contains a value of one (1)} at the time an IV Bit Check is
performed. IV Bit Check failures are counted and held in separate IV Bit Check
Failure accumulators for each IEC monitor point configured for validity checking.
If the value in any point's failure accumulator becomes equal to the value set in
this IV
invalid and report to the Client this invalid status, along with the point's data
value.
Setting this parameter to zero (0) will disable data validity checking.

5.6.28 Use Recent
0 = REPORT MULTIPLE, 1 = REPORT SINGLE
This parameter determines how the events will be stored at the event queue and
reported to the remote Client. The 104S protocol supports event queues for each
data type that can store multiple, time-st amped events as they happen and report
those events to a remote Client. Some applications may require all events that
transpire be added to the queue and be reported. Ot her applications may require
only the most recent event of each IEC database point to be reported.
If thi s parameter i s set to 0
- REPORT MULTIPLE (the default), events for each
configured IEC monitor-type data point will be stored in a buffer. Each monitor
point data type has its own unique buffer that can hold to 99 events. When the
events are reported to the remote Client, the buffer will be cleared and will begin
to accumulate new events as they happen, storing them until the next time they
can be reported. If the number of events that occur between reports exceed 99
for any given data type, then the oldest event entry in the queue will be deleted to
make room for the most recent event. The advantage to this setting is that, with
proper configuration, all events will be captured and reported to the Client. The
disadvantage is that the event buffers can contain high volumes of data that will
have to be transferred to the Client.
If thi s parameter i s set to 1
- REPORT SINGLE, only the most recent event for each
IEC database monitor point will be held in the buffer and reported to the Client.
This means that any events other than the most recent one for each point will not
be available. The advantage to this setting is that it limits the volume of event
data that may need to be transmitted to the Client to the total number of points of
all types in the IEC database. The disadvantage is that events for some points
may be lost and not reported to the Client.

5.8.3 Default Command Qualifier
SHORT PULSE (1), LONG PULSE (2), or PERSISTENT OUTPUT (3)
The protocol specification defines values for a Qualifier Flag, which is part of
every command message, and associates those values to specific command
(control) points. The value zero (0) is specified as Undefined. The Default
Command Qualifier parameter sets the default output type to use for incoming
Command Point executions when the Qualifier Flag value is Undefined.
5.8.4 Override Command Qualifier
NO, SHORT PULSE, LONG PULSE, or PERSISTENT OUTPUT
This parameter allows you to set a specific output type for all incoming command
messages, regardless of the Qualifier Flag value contained in the message. Set
this parameter to N

In order to save bandwidth, you can configure the module to use the Sequence
Flag feature using the following parameters:
If thi s parameter i s set to NO, this feature is not selected, the module will send
the object address and value for every monitored point sent to the Client, and the
Sequence Flag (SQ) will be set to zero (0).

If thi s parameter i s set to YES, this feature is selected, the module will send the
object point address and value for only the first point of a sequence of points,
send only the data value without point address for any remaining points in the
sequence, and the Sequence Flag (SQ) will be set to one (1). When SQ = 1, the
Client assumes that all points after the first point use Information Object
Addresses in a contiguous order (using the first point as the reference starting
address).
Note: Refer to the Client device specification to verify if this feature is supported before you
consider using it.
5.8.7 Parameter Offset
This parameter specifies the Information Object Address (IOA) Offset to
normalized points parameter data. The value entered is added to the IOA for the
associated point to compute the parameter IOA address.
The Client may send a "Parameter of Measured Normalized" or "Parameter of
Measured Scaled" command using the parameter IOA in order to change the
threshold deadband values for specific points.
For example, if the PTQ-104S configuration sets two M_ME_NA points with IOA
of 600 and 601 and a M_ME_NA Parameter Offset value of 2000, the threshold
deadband parameters for those points would be written to IOA addresses 2600
and 2601.

5.25 Group Codes
One aspect of the point configuration database that leads to confusion is the
group definition field, which assigns each point to one or more interrogation
groups. Use of interrogation groups permits the controlling unit to interface with a
specific set of data. Refer to the IEC 60870-5-104 standard for a full discussion
of interrogation groups. A specific group, Periodic data group, reports data points
on a set frequency. The frequency is set in the Cyclic Data Transmission
parameter in the configuration file. Remember that a point can be assigned to
more than one group.

If the highest bit (bit 31) is set, data will be produced by the driver for the
specified point at the rate set for periodic data generation. Bit 30 (0x40000000)
enables scanning of this point for event generation. If the bit is clear and the data
