Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum 140CRA31908 Adapter Module
The Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum 140CRA31908 is an adapter module primarily used to connect remote I/O modules to Modicon M580 PLCs, expanding the I/O capacity efficiently. Here is a detailed introduction:
- Basic Information: It's an Ethernet RIO drop adapter. It uses the Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP communication port protocol, and the integrated connection type for the service port is also Ethernet IP/Modbus TCP.
- Function and Feature
- Communication Protocol: It adopts the standard industrial Ethernet protocol Modbus TCP/IP specified in GB/Z 19582 - 3, with the open Modbus protocol in the application layer. The communication rate is not less than 100Mbps, ensuring fast and reliable data transmission.
- System Upgrade: It can be used to upgrade S908 architectures to M580 systems. For example, in a Quantum system, replacing the 140 CPU with the 140CRA31908 adapter module allows the S908 network to communicate with the M580 architecture. It can also be used in the migration from a redundant Quantum network with S908 remote substations to a redundant M580 architecture.
- Application Scenarios: It is suitable for various industrial automation scenarios, such as power plants, steel, petrochemicals, and water treatment. It can be used to build distributed control systems, enabling remote monitoring and control of I/O devices. In an M580 system, it attaches S908 architectures to an X80 drop, allowing the S908 network to communicate with the M580 network, thus playing a role in system upgrades and expansions.
