Modicon Quantum PLC Overview

The Modicon Quantum PLCs provide well-balanced CPUs able to provide leading performance from boolean to floating-point instruction.

• Unity Pro programming software supports five IEC languages as standard: IEC Ladder (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), and Instructional List (IL), as well as the Modicon LL984 language to facilitate installed base upgrades.
• High-level multitasking system
• Memory capacity up to 7 Mb using Personal Computer Memory Card International Association(PCMCIA) extensions.
• Specially designed for process control applications with conformal coated modules and an extensive catalogue of partner modules
• Safety processors and I/O modules to manage Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
• Plug & Play high-performance Hot-Standby solutions with LCD keypad for local monitoring
• Adheres to open standards for communications including Ethernet Modbus® TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP (the new ODVA standard for EtherNet/IP™ incorporates Modbus TCP/IP), Profibus and others.
• Numerous built-in ports (USB port, Ethernet TCP/IP port with Web server, Modbus Plus and at least one Modbus serial port) on the front panel
• In-rack connectivity to Profibus® DP
• Embedded Ethernet Router
• Increase the availability of your architecture by using Quantum Ethernet I/O modules (QEIO) that support deterministic Remote I/O (RIO)
• The Modicon X80 I/O expands your architecture and easily integrates your distributed devices in the same network (such as HMI, variable speed drives, I/O islands…)
• Supports the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART), the protocol for sending and receiving digital information across analog wires between smart devices and a control or monitoring system
