Design and Structure

Built-in a standard module format, the 140-EHC-105-00 fits seamlessly within distributed, local, or remote racks, adding flexibility in installation and scalability. The module's design includes eight inputs and five channels, making it suitable for various applications where multiple input signals must be processed and managed in real-time. The module's standard format allows it to be integrated into existing architectures effortlessly, reducing the need for major modifications to current setups.

Input and Output Specifications

This high-speed counter module features a counting input voltage of up to 30 V DC and a counting input current of 7 mA, which enables it to handle discrete incremental counting tasks effectively. Its high counting frequency of 100,000 Hz (100 kHz) allows it to process data at an impressive speed, making it ideal for high-frequency applications. The duty cycle for counter input is balanced at 1/1, ensuring consistent performance. Additionally, the module has a discrete input current of 5 mA, with operating thresholds set between 3 to 5 V for single-ended mode in the off state and 15 to 30 V in the on state.

For outputs, the module includes eight discrete outputs that utilize Field Effect Transistor (FET) technology, allowing for reliable switching and minimal voltage drop. The discrete output voltage ranges from 20 to 30 V in the on state. It drops to 0 V in the off state, with a load current capacity of up to 0.21 A. Leakage current is minimized at 0.1 mA in the off state, which ensures the module remains highly efficient and prevents unnecessary power loss.

Reliability and Protection

Schneider Electric has equipped the 140-EHC-105-00 with various protective features to enhance operational stability and longevity. The module includes internal short-circuit protection for its outputs, safeguarding it against potential electrical faults. It also has isolation protection rated at 500 Vrms for 60 seconds between channels and the bus, which ensures the safety of both the device and connected components. In the event of a loss of output field power, the module can detect and report this fault, facilitating proactive maintenance.

Power and Communication Requirements

The module requires a bus current of 250 mA and an external power supply ranging from 19.2 to 30 V DC. The external power consumption is also capped at 1140 mA, making it efficient in energy usage. For communication, the module utilizes a data format of 16 bits (65535 decimal) or 32 bits (2147483647 decimal), which provides flexibility in data handling and storage. The 140-EHC-105-00 also requires 12 input and 12 output words for addressing, allowing it to be easily integrated into complex systems.

Local Signalling and Compliance

The 140-EHC-105-00 has five LEDs that provide channel status updates to facilitate monitoring and troubleshooting. This feature simplifies diagnostics and enables users to identify and address issues quickly. The module is CE-marked, certifying its compliance with international safety and performance standards, which makes it suitable for use in diverse industrial environments.
