140CRA31200 Schneider Modicon Quantum Ethernet
The Schneider Modicon Quantum 140CRA31200 is an Ethernet RIO drop adapter designed for industrial automation systems1. Here is a detailed introduction:
- Basic Information: Its model number is 140CRA31200. It has 3 ports and uses the Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP communication port protocol, supporting two integrated connection types: Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP through the service port or the device network.
- Features and Advantages
- Excellent Communication Capability: It enables seamless integration of remote I/O devices into a Quantum PLC network via Ethernet, ensuring fast and reliable data exchange. It supports deterministic communication, which can enhance system efficiency and reduce downtime. In addition, it uses the Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP protocol, which is an open, standard, and long - term technology promoted globally by the ODVA organization, suitable for process control and industrial automation applications.
- Convenient Diagnosis and Configuration: The front panel is equipped with diagnostic LEDs, including a green LED for run, a green/red LED for module status, a green/red LED for network communication status, and a red LED for I/O, which is convenient for users to understand the working status of the module at any time. The location of the Ethernet remote I/O drop on the network can be set through the rotary switches on the front of the module. The valid values are from 00 to 159, and no software is required for configuration.
- High Compatibility and Scalability: It is compatible with the 140CRP31200 module. The Ethernet I/O architecture it belongs to has good flexibility, and the Ethernet topology can be flexibly configured in structures such as daisy - chain loops, main loops, sub - loops, and stars. This adapter has a compact design, low power consumption, and can be easily integrated into existing systems. It also has a modular architecture, which offers flexibility and scalability to meet growing needs.
- Application Scenarios: This module is mainly used in industrial automation scenarios such as power plants, steel, petrochemicals, and water treatment. It can be used to build a distributed control system, realizing remote monitoring and control of I/O devices, and improving the reliability and flexibility of the entire industrial control network.
