Basic Application Functions 
The PTQ-104C IEC 60870-5-104 Client Communication Module allows Quantum 
compatible processors to interface easily with IEC 60870-5-104 protocol-
compatible servers. 
The PTQ-104C module acts as an input/output module between the IEC-60870-
5-104 Ethernet network and the Quantum processor. Data transfer between the 
module and the processor is asynchronous from the actions on the network. 
Databases are defined by the user for the module to hold data as required by the 
protocol. 
The PTQ-104C module is a powerful communication interface for Quantum 
processors. Developed under license from Schneider Electric, the module 
incorporates proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful data access 
to the Quantum processor. 
The module supports the Quantum 140CPU67160 Hot Standby processor in the 
Unity Pro programming environment. 
9.1.2  Hot Standby Support 
The module provides support for 140CPU6716000 Hot Standby processor with 
Unity Pro programming software. Look for the HSBY (Hot Standby) icon   for 
special notes relating to the support and configuration of the module.  
 HSBY Note: For detailed understanding of HSBY specification, refer to Chapter 6.  
9.1.3  General Specifications 
  Single Slot - Quantum backplane compatible 
  The module is recognized as an Options module and has access to PLC 
memory for data transfer 
  Configuration data is stored in non-volatile memory in the ProTalk
®
 module 
  Up to six modules can be placed in a rack
