Memory Architecture and Data Handling

The Schneider 140NOA62200 incorporates a sophisticated memory structure to manage Interbus communication effectively. Specifically, it features 128 kB of memory alongside a 256 kB firmware EPROM for stable operation. Furthermore, the module includes 2 kB of dual-port RAM for fast data exchange with the CPU. For data storage, it provides 256 kB plus an additional 32 kB of RAM. The 140NOA62200 also contains a 64 kB Interbus command sequence EEPROM and a 64 kB multi-port RAM. This generous memory allocation ensures smooth handling of complex command sequences and large data volumes, making the module suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Product Compatibility and Rack Configuration

Understanding the compatibility of the 140NOA62200 is crucial for proper system design. The module supports specific configurations based on the CPU type in use. For instance, a system can accommodate up to six 140NOA62200 modules when using the 140CPU11303 processor. However, when using either the 140CPU43412A or the 140CPU53414B, the system supports a maximum of two Interbus master modules. Additionally, the Schneider 140NOA62200 is designed exclusively for use in a local rack configuration. This restriction ensures optimal performance and reliable communication with the Interbus network. Always verify your CPU type and rack configuration before installation to guarantee proper system operation.

Diagnostic and Status Indication

The 140NOA62200 provides extensive local signalling through a comprehensive array of LEDs. This feature enables rapid troubleshooting and system status verification without additional tools. The front panel includes twelve LEDs organized for clarity.

• Green LEDs (4):

  • ACTIVE: Indicates active communication with the Quantum CPU.

  • RUN: Confirms firmware is operational and the module is running.

  • IS-B RUN: Shows the Interbus is functioning normally and carrying data.

• Red LEDs (8):

  • F: Signals a general module fault.

  • DEA 202: Indicates an initialization fault.

  • Master: Shows the Interbus master is not operational.

  • Fault: The Interbus module has reported a fault.

  • Memory: Signals a memory fault.

  • Peripheral Bus: Indicates a peripheral bus fault.

  • Processor: Shows a processor fault within the master.

  • Remote Bus: Signals a fault on the remote bus segment.

• Yellow LED (1):

  • Indicates one or more bus segments have been shut down.

Therefore, operators can quickly identify issues and take corrective action based on the LED status patterns.

Installation and Configuration Guidelines

Installing the Schneider 140NOA62200 requires attention to specific procedures. First, ensure the Quantum rack power supply is completely disconnected before inserting the module. Next, slide the module into an available slot within the local rack until it seats firmly against the backplane connector. Then, secure the module using the two retaining screws on the top and bottom of the unit. After mechanical installation, connect the Interbus cabling to the appropriate SUB-D 9 connector.

For software configuration, use Concept or ProWORX 32 software to set up the 140NOA62200. Assign the correct module profile (PCP V2.0) and configure the Interbus network parameters. Finally, verify that the software version matches V 2.5 SR2 or higher. Once configured, the module will automatically scan the Interbus network and establish communication with connected devices.
