I would like to interface a Modicon Quantum PLC to a Siemens Teleperm DCS. I would preferably like to use direct communications like modbus or profibus. Has anyone done this or know of a way to do this.

Regards
Michael Sing

 

Michael,
Modicon has many interfacing opportunities these days. Quantum does have profibus interfaces. Call your local Square D office and contact your Automation Specialist or Distributor. Also logon to Modicon.com for information or call the hotline at 1-800-468-5342.
Best Regards,
Don

 

The Modicon Quantum has a profibus DP master module. 140 CRP 811 00. Works with Concept, Proworx, and Modsoft programming language.

Siemens is selling a ModBus version of the 1333 communications card. The software is written by Erich Kist. The 1333 is using the same S5KS/S5KE blocks as the ones that are used for normal communication. We use them a lot in our plant in the Netherlands

You must use procedure 3964R with RK 512. This is the problem. Change it and the link will be ready to use.
