Description
The DET-TRONICS EQ2100CG is a Quantum Communications Gateway designed for the Det-Tronics Eagle Quantum fire and gas detection system. It provides the communication interface between the system’s LON/SLC field network and external host equipment such as PLCs, DCS systems, and operator interface stations. The gateway receives device status and process information from the network and makes this information available to external control systems through supported serial communication protocols.
The EQ2100CG also provides local annunciation and system-monitoring functions, including a three-digit display, status LEDs, bar-graph indication, and programmable relay outputs. Det-Tronics documentation identifies the Quantum gateway as part of the EQ2100 local control unit architecture.

🔧 Application
The EQ2100CG is intended for fire and gas detection and suppression systems based on the Det-Tronics Eagle Quantum architecture. It acts as the communications bridge between field devices connected through the LON/SLC network and higher-level control equipment.
Typical integration points include PLC, DCS, operator interface, fire and gas monitoring, alarm annunciation, and system-status monitoring. Multiple gateways can also be used when additional host-device connections or system communication redundancy are required.
For replacement applications, verify the exact EQ2100CG model, part number 006570-001, hardware revision, communication configuration, DIP-switch settings, network wiring, and associated Eagle Quantum controller/isolator modules before commissioning.
