The PTQ-PDPMV1 is a PROFIBUS DP master network interface module from ProSoft Technology, designed for Quantum processors. It supports the PROFIBUS DPV1 master specification and is able to communicate with slave devices that support the PROFIBUS DPV0/V1 protocol. As an input/output module between the PROFIBUS network and the processor, the module supports high-speed data transmission, and the data transmission is asynchronous with the I/O data transmission on the PROFIBUS network.

The main features of PTQ-PDPMV1 include:
Support for complete master station specifications under IEC 61158 standard.
Supports aperiodic parameter data transmission for DPV1 Class 1 or Class 2 services.
Supports the PROFIBUS DPV1 standard specification and can be configured as a PROFIBUS DP slave station.
Supports automatic node address allocation.
Supports multiple diagnostic and troubleshooting functions.
Includes ProSoft Configuration Builder software for designing, configuring, and monitoring PROFIBUS networks.
The system includes the PROFIBUS DPV1 Field Device Tool (FDT) communication DTM (PROFIBUS comDTM) software.
Supports configuration of PTQ modules and PROFIBUS networks over Ethernet.
Support PROFIBUS PA slave station devices via DP/PA couplers or links.
Supports up to 125 slave devices, including Repeaters.
Supports PROFIdrive 3.1 compliant parameter read and write operations.
Sync and Freeze commands are supported.
Multicast and Broadcast telegrams on PROFIBUS networks are supported.
Supports PROFIBUS hot standby.

Technical specifications include:
Single slot – Quantum backplane compatible.
The module stores configuration data in non-volatile memory.
Includes configuration software for Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, and NT.
Each rack can hold up to six modules.
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 higher).
Supports 3x and 4x Quantum data types.
Supports all standardized baud rates up to 12 Mbits/s.
Automatic baud rate detects all valid PROFIBUS DPV1 rates.

Physical specifications include:
PROFIBUS DPV1 RS-485 interface with 9-pin type D female connector and isolated Opto-Couplers.
Master station status LED indicator for operation, network outage communication, master token holding.
