Schneider Electric 140NOE21100 Modicon Quantum TCP/IP Communication Module

Overview

The Schneider Electric 140NOE21100 is a versatile and powerful communication module within the Modicon Quantum series, specifically designed to enhance the networking capabilities of Quantum PLCs. It provides a reliable Ethernet interface, supporting TCP/IP communication to facilitate efficient data exchange and seamless integration within industrial automation networks. The module operates over a single-channel Twisted Pair Ethernet connection, adhering to the 10BASE-T standard with a transmission speed of 10 Mbps. This allows for robust, real-time communication across various automation devices and systems, making it a vital component in environments requiring precise control, monitoring, and data acquisition.

Enhanced Networking with Modbus TCP/IP Protocol

One of the primary functions of the 140NOE21100 module is to enable the Quantum PLC to communicate with external devices using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, which is widely recognized for its reliability and ease of use in industrial applications. This compatibility allows the Quantum system to easily interact with other Modbus-compatible devices, such as sensors, actuators, HMIs, and SCADA systems, forming a cohesive, highly integrated network. Its straightforward configuration also allows users to efficiently set up and manage the module within complex systems, saving time and reducing maintenance efforts in large-scale industrial applications.

Reliable 10BASE-T Ethernet Connection

The module's 10BASE-T Ethernet connection is ideal for applications prioritizing reliability and stability over higher-speed networks, making it suitable for various industrial settings, including manufacturing, processing plants, and utilities. It serves as a bridge between Quantum PLC and other Ethernet devices, facilitating centralized data collection and distributed control throughout the plant floor or facility. The communication module's rugged design ensures it can withstand the demands of industrial environments, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C and storage capability of up to 85°C. This robust construction, combined with a low power consumption of just 5.2 W, allows for extended operational life and stability, even in challenging conditions.

User-Friendly Diagnostics and Modular Design

The 140NOE21100 also features user-friendly diagnostics, with LED indicators displaying communication status, network activity, and module health. These indicators simplify troubleshooting and maintenance, enabling technicians to quickly identify and resolve issues. Additionally, its integration into Schneider Electric's broader Modicon Quantum series provides enhanced flexibility and scalability, allowing businesses to expand their control network as needs evolve. This modularity is particularly advantageous in industries where process requirements frequently change, as it allows for seamless upgrades and system expansion without extensive reconfiguration.
