This chapter provides information on the High End Controller modules.
Quantum high-end CPUs (
140 CPU 6•• ••) also support Ethernet backplanes (BME XBP ••••) in the following network configurations:
These Ethernet backplanes function in the same manner as when they are used in an M580 system. The eX80 EIO adapter modules also function in the same manner (including configuration, diagnostics, and performance) as when they are used in an M580 system.
Quantum SIL3 Hot StandBy Offer
Read thoroughly the Quantum Safety PLC - Safety Reference Manual (part number 33003879) to build a safety PLC according to the safety certifications. Schneider Electric provides a range of products that are certified to be used in a IEC 61508 and SIL3 safety system.
This range includes:
-
safety CPU modules (140 CPU 651 60S and 140 CPU 671 60S)
-
safety I/O modules (140 SAI 940 00S, 140 SDI 953 00S, 140 SDO 953 00S)
-
non-interfering modules
-
Unity Pro XLS V7.0.
Unity Pro is the former name of Control Expert for version 13.1 or earlier.
NOTE: If remote racks or hot standby functionality is required, you can use the safety modules with existing Quantum remote I/O modules (140 CRP 932 00 and 140 CRA 932 00 only). If other I/O modules are present in the rack, they must either be certified non-interfering modules or they must be removed or exchanged for certified non-interfering modules that will provide similar capability.
