Schneider 140NOE35100 Quantum Ethernet Module

Modicon 140NOE35100 Fiber Optic Ethernet Module for Quantum PLCs

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric 140NOE35100 module serves as a robust interface for connecting Modicon Quantum PLCs to 10BASE-FL Ethernet networks. This unit is specifically engineered for installations where electrical interference poses a risk to standard copper cabling. Therefore, it utilizes a fiber optic cable system to guarantee stable and secure communication. Furthermore, this Modicon Quantum module provides a single effective channel for network integration. Its compact design and protective coating make it a reliable choice for demanding automation tasks.

Technical Specifications and Core Features

The 140NOE35100 module is built around a singular communication channel. This design choice simplifies network architecture for dedicated applications. Additionally, it features two 10BASE-FL Ethernet ports with an ST-style connector. Consequently, these ports allow for a redundant or daisy-chain fiber optic connection, enhancing network resilience. For reliable operation, the Ethernet port requires a bus current of exactly 1 Ampere. Meanwhile, the unit is equipped with a protective conformal coating. This coating is crucial for safeguarding the electronics from moisture, dust, and chemical contaminants. Moreover, the Schneider 140NOE35100 is specifically designed for a local backplane. This means it operates exclusively within the main Quantum rack, ensuring low-latency communication with the CPU.

Power Supply and Environmental Parameters

This module demonstrates great flexibility in its power requirements. It accepts a wide range of input voltages, from 115 to 230 Volts AC or a standard 24 Volts DC. Therefore, it integrates easily into various power systems without needing a separate power supply module. Furthermore, the Modicon Quantum 140NOE35100 is built to endure demanding industrial conditions. For instance, it operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. These conditions are specified for a non-condensing environment. In addition, it tolerates relative humidity levels from 0 percent up to 95 percent. Because of this wide tolerance, it is suitable for use in humid climates. Finally, the module functions reliably at altitudes reaching up to 2,000 meters, or 6,561.68 feet, above sea level.

Compliance and Safety Standards

Safety and compliance are paramount in industrial automation. Hence, the 140NOE35100 holds several key certifications. It proudly meets the rigorous standards set by UL, c-UL, CE, and CSA. These certifications attest to its quality and safe operation in diverse applications. For instance, the CE mark confirms its conformity with European health and safety regulations. Similarly, the UL and c-UL certifications ensure it meets North American safety requirements. Therefore, users can confidently deploy this module in globally recognized projects. This commitment to compliance underscores Schneider Electric's dedication to high manufacturing standards.

Installation Guidelines

Proper installation of the Schneider 140NOE35100 ensures optimal performance and longevity. First, ensure the backplane is powered off before inserting the module into the designated slot. Align the module carefully with the rack guide rails. Then, push it firmly until it seats securely in the backplane connector. Next, tighten the retaining screws to secure the module in place. After that, connect the fiber optic cables to the ST-style ports. Make sure to clean the fiber connectors before insertion to prevent signal loss. Finally, power on the system and verify the module's status via the configuration software. The module is designed for local backplane support only, so avoid installing it in remote I/O racks.
