1.2 Deployment Checklist

This is a list of the steps you must complete to install your ProTalk module. We
recommend that you read this section completely before you begin the
installation.

During this procedure, you will install the module in the rack with the processor,
set up a PROFIBUS Master, connect one or more PROFIBUS slave devices, and
then configure the processor with information about the PROFIBUS network. The
example programs you will be configuring are designed to demonstrate that the
module and the processor are correctly configured and communicating with each
other over the backplane. After this initial installation, you may need to perform
additional steps to configure the application for your specific needs.

You must complete these steps in the following order, otherwise the installation
may not be successful.

1 Install the ProSoft Configuration Builder software on your PC

Important: Earlier versions of ProSoft Configuration Builder do not support the Hot Standby
(HSBY) feature on the PTQ-PDPMV1 module. To make full use of the HSBY feature, please
download the latest version of ProSoft Configuration Builder and review the readme files from the
ProSoft Technology website at www.prosoft-technology.com/pcb.

2 Install the ProTalk module in the rack
3 Configure the module
4 Configure the PROFIBUS Master and slaves
5 Export the processor files
6 Configure the processor
7 Verify communication between the processor and the module

1.4 Installing the Module

1.4.1 Installing 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

the 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.

HSBY Note: For HSBY setup, repeat the above procedures for the Primary and Standby

modules.

1.4.2 Connecting to the ProTalk Configuration/Debug Port

Note: The module has a serial port as well as an Ethernet port. The first time you connect to the

module to configure it, you can connect to the module’s serial port using the supplied null-modem
cable, because the module’s default Ethernet settings may not match your network.

HSBY Note: For HSBY units the Ethernet connection must be applied. This connection is used
as a backup to ping status messages over the PROFIBUS network. It is also used for DPV1
remote (passive) Master buffer update during switchover.

PC to Ethernet Port Connection

Important: The PTQ-PDPMV1 module is equipped to use an Ethernet connection using the

following defaults:

My_ip: 192.168.0.100
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

HSBY Note: For HSBY units the remote (passive) Master module Ethernet connection is
always Primary IP plus 1. For example, Primary IP = 192.168.0.100, Standby module IP =

192.168.0.101. This setting is not configurable: the module's firmware automatically sets the IP
address of the remote (passive) Master.

If you cannot use these defaults for your connection, you must change them
using ProSoft Configuration Builder and then download the new values to the
PTQ-PDPMV1 module, either through a serial cable, or by using a Compact
Flash (CF) writer. If you need to change the Ethernet addresses, use ProSoft
Configuration Builder to change the values in the WATTCP file.

2.1 Configuring the Module with ProSoft Configuration Builder

In this step of the setup process, you will use ProSoft Configuration Builder to
configure the parameters that affect the interface between the PTQ module and
the processor (Quantum or Unity). These parameters indicate:

 The physical position of the module in the rack.

HSBY Note: For HSBY units, the local (active) and passive modules must be placed in the
same rack location in both racks.

 The starting memory address in the processor's State RAM for the module's

input and output data images. For the purpose of this example, we use a
starting address of 1000 for the input image and 3000 for the output image.

To begin, verify that the processor is correctly positioned in the rack, and is
powered up. Connect your PC to the PTQ-PDPMV1 module using the supplied
Null Modem serial cable, as shown in the following illustration.

Note: The serial port should only be used for initial configuration of the Ethernet port through
ProSoft Configuration Builder.

After the Ethernet settings are correctly configured, only the Ethernet port should
be used for configuration changes, diagnostics, and PROFIBUS monitoring.

Slot Number

The Slot Number is the physical location of the module in the rack. The example
here assumes a basic configuration with a power supply occupying the first slot,
the processor occupying the next two slots, and the PTQ-PDPMV1 module
occupying the fourth slot. In this case the module would be in slot 4.

Note: If the module is not placed in the slot number specified, the module will not operate, and the
CFG ERR light will illuminate. You must specify the actual slot number for the module in the
module configuration file.

Input Data Size

Number of PROFIBUS input point words. Leave this setting at its default value of
768 words.

Output Data Size

Number of PROFIBUS output point words. Leave this setting at its default value
of 768 words.

Start Registers

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 27 of 306
August 12, 2014

Configuring the Module PTQ-PDPMV1 ♦ Quantum Platform
User Manual PROFIBUS DP Master Network Interface Module for Quantum

The Input Start Register address refers to the 3x (%IW) location in the
processor’s State RAM and the Output Start Register refers to the 4x (%MW)
location of State RAM. You can view State RAM information in Unity XL Pro.

A common mistake is to assume that because the Input Start Register parameter
starts at address 301000, then the PROFIBUS data associated with the slaves
will also start at the same register. As the diagram above shows, the Input
PROFIBUS Data would start at address 301223 for this example.

Important: The Input and Output Start Register parameters define the start registers for the input
and output blocks that are transferred between the processor and the module. The PROFIBUS I/O
associated to the slaves is part of these blocks. Refer to PTQ Input and Output Data Blocks (page

251) for a description. Each block contains status, PROFIBUS data, and Mailbox/Slave
diagnostics, if chosen.

Input Start Register

The Input Start Register address refers to the 3x (%IW) location in the
processor’s State RAM. You can view State RAM information in Unity XL Pro.

Output Start Register

The Output Start Register refers to the 4x (%MW) location of State RAM. You
can view State RAM information in Unity XL Pro.

Input Byte Swap

Swap bytes in input image (YES or NO). The default value is NO.
This is a user-configured flag to indicate if input data is swapped before being

placed in the input image for the controller. If the parameter is set to 0, no
swapping occurs. If it is not 0, then bytes are swapped.

For more information on byte swapping, please refer to Status Data in the Input
Data Block (page 256).

Output Byte Swap

Swap bytes in output image (YES or NO). The default value is NO.
This is a user-configured flag to indicate if output data is swapped after being

received from the controller. If the parameter is set to 0, no swapping occurs. If it
is not 0, then bytes are swapped.

Mailbox Messaging

Use mailbox messaging over the backplane (Y or N with Y=default).
For this example, leave the setting at its default. For more information on the

effect of this setting, please refer to Mailbox Messaging (page 151).

Slave Diagnostics

Get slave diagnostic data (Y/N with N=default).
For this example, leave the setting at its default.
If you change the default value of this setting and the previous one (Mailbox

Messaging) from their default values, the layout of the I/O blocks changes.
The following diagram shows the layout of the I/O blocks when Mailbox

Messaging is set to YES (the default value), and Get Slave Diagnostic Data is set
to YES.
