8.1 Product Specifications
The Landis & Gyr Telegyr Slave Communication Module is a Quantum
backplane compatible module that allows Quantum processors to interface easily
with Telegyr Master host devices. SCADA systems supporting this application
are commonly found in the power utility industry.
8.1.1 Features and Benefits
The PTQ-LNG module acts as a communication gateway between the Telegyr
8979 Rev. F version of the protocol and the Quantum backplane. The module
functions as a Telegyr slave, receiving commands from the host. Data transfer
between the module and the Quantum processor is asynchronous to the Telegyr
network, with the module's internal database being used to exchange data
between the Quantum processor and the Telegyr network.
The PTQ-LNG module is a powerful communication interface for Quantum
platform processors. Developed under license from Schneider Electric, the
module incorporates proprietary backplane technology that enables powerful
data access to the Quantum processor.
8.1.2 General Specifications
