Schneider Modicon Quantum 140NOA62200C Interbus Master Module for Severe Environments

Product Overview

When harsh industrial conditions demand reliable network communication, the Schneider Modicon Quantum 140NOA62200C Interbus master module delivers robust performance. Part of the Modicon Quantum automation platform, this module uses twisted pair cabling to maintain stable data transfer over distances up to 20 meters. Its master access method ensures efficient control of Interbus networks, making it a dependable choice for challenging applications.

Technical Specifications

The 140NOA62200C operates with a bus current requirement of 800 mA and dissipates only 4 W of power, supporting energy-efficient operation. It supports Interbus RS485 isolated communication at 500 kbit/s, conforming to DIN 66020. Memory includes 128 kB plus 256 kB firmware EPROM, 2 kB dual-port RAM, 256 kB plus 32 kB data RAM, 64 kB Interbus command sequence EEPROM, and 64 kB multi-port RAM. The module features 11 LED indicators for status monitoring, including green for active communication, run status, and Interbus operation, and red for various fault conditions. It connects via two SUB-D 9 connectors and weighs 0.9 kg. Operating temperature range is 0 to 60 °C, with storage from -40 to 85 °C. It resists electrostatic discharge up to 4 kV contact and 8 kV air, and electromagnetic fields up to 10 V/m from 80 to 1000 MHz. Certifications include CE, UL, and CSA.

Industry Applications

This module excels in severe environments such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and heavy manufacturing where temperature extremes, vibration, and electrical noise are common. Its robust design ensures uninterrupted Interbus communication, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. For example, in a refinery, the 140NOA62200C can reliably connect remote I/O stations to a Quantum PLC, maintaining data integrity despite harsh conditions.

Installation and Setup

Install the 140NOA62200C in a local rack of a Modicon Quantum system. Use twisted pair cabling for the Interbus link, ensuring the maximum cable distance between devices does not exceed 20 meters. Connect the module via the SUB-D 9 connectors and verify bus current does not exceed 800 mA. After mounting, power up the system and check the LED indicators: the green ACTIVE LED confirms communication with the CPU, and the RUN LED indicates firmware and module readiness. For initial configuration, use Concept or ProWORX 32 software version V 2.5 SR2.

Maintenance and Reliability

Routine inspection of the 140NOA62200C focuses on verifying LED status and cable integrity. The module’s low power dissipation of 4 W reduces heat stress, contributing to long service life. Operating within the 0 to 60 °C ambient temperature range and maintaining relative humidity below 95% without condensation ensures reliable performance. Periodic checks of the twisted pair connections and SUB-D 9 connectors help prevent communication faults. The module’s compliance with IEC 801-2 and IEC 801-3 standards for electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic fields enhances its resilience in industrial settings.

Compatibility and Integration

The 140NOA62200C integrates with Modicon Quantum CPUs including 140CPU53414B, 140CPU43412A, and 140CPU11303. It supports up to six 140CPU11303 modules on a local Interbus rack, or two 140CPU43412A or 140CPU53414B modules. The Interbus RS485 isolated protocol at 500 kbit/s ensures seamless communication with compatible devices. Use Concept or ProWORX 32 software for configuration. This module is designed for local rack mounting and is not intended for remote racks.

Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing the 140NOA62200C, verify that your system uses a Modicon Quantum local rack and requires an Interbus master module for severe environments. Confirm compatibility with your CPU model and ensure twisted pair cabling is available. BluePLC Industrial offers this module with fast shipping and expert support.
