Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the primary function of the 140NOA61110C module?

This module acts as a gateway. It allows a Modicon Quantum PLC to communicate with and control devices on an Interbus fieldbus network.

What industries typically use this Interbus module?

It is commonly used in material handling, packaging systems, and textile manufacturing. Any industry using Interbus networks with Quantum PLCs can benefit from it.

What are the installation environment requirements?

The 140NOA61110C must be installed in a clean, indoor environment. The area should be free from dust, moisture condensation, and corrosive gases for reliable operation.

Can this module be used in outdoor or harsh industrial settings?

No, it is designed for controlled indoor environments. It is not rated for outdoor use, washdown areas, or locations with excessive dust or chemical exposure.

What is the maximum cable length for the Interbus network?

Network length depends on the Interbus specification, not this module alone. You must follow the Interbus system guidelines for baud rates and total cable distance.

Do I need special software to configure this module?

Yes, you configure it using the Schneider Electric Unity Pro software. This software is used to set up the entire Modicon Quantum system, including communication modules.

How does this module connect to the Quantum rack?

It plugs directly into a slot on the Modicon Quantum backplane. You then connect the Interbus network cable to the port on the module's front face.
