The 140CRA93100 RIO drop adapter module belongs to Schneider Electric's Modicon Quantum automation platform. This standard-format module connects remote I/O drops to the Quantum RIO network using a single coaxial cable. It operates with 75 Ohm coaxial cabling and achieves a transmission rate of 1.544 Mbit/s. Additionally, the module supports up to 27 I/O expansion modules per drop. This adapter suits distributed control architectures requiring remote I/O placement.
The 140CRA93100 provides one female F-type connector for coaxial cable termination. The connector comes in an elbow configuration for space-efficient routing. Transmission rate reaches 1.544 Mbit/s for fast data exchange between the processor and remote drops. The module maintains a dynamic range of 35 dB for reliable signal reception over varying cable lengths. Isolation voltage measures 500V DC between the coaxial center conductor and ground. This isolation protects the backplane from potential ground loops or surges.
For diagnostic capabilities, the 140CRA93100 performs startup executive checksum verification. It also executes RAM address and data tests during power-up and runtime. These diagnostics ensure reliable operation and early fault detection. The module displays local signalling through built-in LEDs for status indication.
The 140CRA93100 consumes 3W of power dissipation per channel. Bus current requirement reaches 600 mA from the Quantum backplane. This moderate power draw suits standard Quantum power supplies. The module uses a standard format for Quantum racks. Package dimensions measure 4.7 cm height, 16.5 cm width, and 31.0 cm length. Net weight is 509 grams (17.95 ounces).
Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 60°C (32 to 140°F). Storage temperature spans -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F). Relative humidity tolerance reaches 95% without condensation. Operating altitude extends to 5000 meters (16,404 feet). The module resists electrostatic discharge per IEC 801-2 at 4kV contact and 8kV air. Electromagnetic field immunity meets IEC 801-3 at 10V/m for reliable performance in industrial environments.
First, power down the Quantum rack and the remote drop chassis before installation. Insert the 140CRA93100 into the designated slot in the remote drop. Ensure the module seats fully into the backplane connector. Next, connect the 75 Ohm coaxial cable to the female F-type connector. Tighten the connector securely to maintain proper impedance and signal quality. Route the cable away from high-voltage or high-noise sources. After completing all wiring, apply power to the drop chassis. Verify the status LEDs indicate normal communication with the main processor. Finally, configure the drop address and I/O mapping within the Unity Pro or Concept software.

1. Q: What is the maximum cable length for the coaxial connection?
A: The 140CRA93100 supports cable lengths up to the limits defined by the 1.544 Mbit/s transmission rate. The 35 dB dynamic range accommodates typical plant distances with proper cabling.
2. Q: Can I use this module with the 140CRA93200 dual-cable version?
A: No, the 140CRA93100 uses a single-cable connection. For redundant cable configurations, choose the 140CRA93200 model which supports dual cables for enhanced availability.
3. Q: How many remote drops can connect to one Quantum RIO network?
A: The network supports multiple drops depending on the processor capacity. Each drop requires one 140CRA93100 adapter, and each adapter supports up to 27 I/O modules.
4. Q: Does this module support hot-swapping?
A: We do not recommend hot-swapping the 140CRA93100. Always power down the drop chassis before removing or inserting the module to prevent damage.
5. Q: What diagnostic information does the module provide?
A: The 140CRA93100 performs checksum verification at startup. It also tests RAM address and data integrity during power-up and normal runtime, with status indicated by on-board LEDs.
