Document Scope

This document is for users who want their Quantum PLC to communicate with devices over an Ethernet network. It assumes that you have some knowledge of PLC systems and a working knowledge of Modsoft, Concept, ProWORX, or Control Expert programming tools. You also need to understand the use of Ethernet networks and TCP/IP.

This document describes the functionality of the Modicon Quantum Ethernet modules, the 104 NOE 771 xx and 140 NWM 100 00 modules, and the Ethernet port of the 140 CPU 651 x0 modules.

Model Number	Module Type
140 NOE 771 00	Ethernet option adapter
140 NOE 771 01	Ethernet option adapter
140 NOE 771 10	FactoryCast Ethernet option adapter
140 NOE 771 11	FactoryCast Ethernet option adapter
140 NWM 100 00	FactoryCast HMI option adapter
140 CPU 651 50	CPU with embedded Ethernet port
140 CPU 651 60	CPU with embedded Ethernet port

This document describes how to install, set up, and use Ethernet-enabled modules in a Modicon Quantum control system. These modules allow the Quantum system to communicate with devices over an Ethernet network. Topics addressed in this manual include:

the hardware architecture of a Modicon Quantum Ethernet module, which is designed to fit into a single slot on the standard Modicon Quantum backplane
capabilities and installation of 140 NOE 771 xx and 140 NWM 100 00 modules in a Modicon Quantum system
capabilities of the Ethernet port on the 140 CPU 651 x0 CPU modules

This document describes the procedures for:

setting up the modules to transfer data using either the Global Data modules (140 NOE 771 01, 140 NOE 771 11, or 140 CPU 651 x0 mobules) or the I/O scanner utility (in the 140 NOE 771 00/01/11 modules and the 140 CPU 651 50/60 modules)
using an embedded Web server to access diagnostics and online configurations for the module and its associated controller
using the FactoryCast Web server to customize your configuration via embedded Web pages (in 140 NOE 771 10/11 and 140 NWM 100 00 modules)
using an NOE module in a Hot Standby solution for fault-tolerant remote I/O and communications
