140NOC78000 Module Description

Introduction

140NOC78000 distributed I/O head modules are installed on the local rack of a Quantum EIO system. They provide the interfaces to communicate with and client applications on an .

Functionality

The main purpose of the 140NOC78000 module is to provide I/O scanning services to distributed I/O devices on the and distributed I/O network. In addition, the 140NOC78000 module (when interlinked with the 140NOC78100 control head module) provides services to communicate with PLC applications running on the .

You can configure a maximum of six 140NOC78000 modules on the local rack. If you configure a 140NOC78100 module on the local rack to manage a control network, you can only configure five 140NOC78000 modules on the local rack.

distributed I/O devices on a device network	the 140CRP31200 module NOTE: You may interlink the 140NOC78000 module with up to 2 additional 140NOC78000 modules on the local rack.
distributed I/O devices on an isolated distributed I/O network	other 140NOC78000 modules only on the local rack
distributed I/O devices on an independent distributed I/O network	the 140NOC78100 module NOTE: Neither the 140NOC78000 nor the 140NOC78100 modules can be interlinked with the 140CRP31200 module on the local rack. NOTE: You may interlink the 140NOC78000 module with up to 2 additional 140NOC78000 modules on the local rack.
distributed I/O devices on an extended distributed I/O network	the 140CRP31200 module – and – the 140NOC78100 module (when the IP forwarding service is configured) NOTE: You may interlink the 140NOC78000 module with up to 2 additional 140NOC78000 modules on the local rack.

External Ports

The 140NOC78000 module monitors the functionality of network links depending on which links are connected to the network. The module has 4 external ports (but only 1 IP address).

Port	Quantity	Description
SERVICE	1	The SERVICE port allows the diagnosis of Ethernet ports and provides access to external tools and devices (Control Expert, ConneXium Network Manager, HMI, etc.). The port supports these modes: access port (default): This mode supports Ethernet communications. port mirroring: In this mode, data traffic from one or more of the other 3 ports is copied to this port. This allows a connected tool to monitor and analyze the port traffic. disabled NOTE: If the device, which is connected to the service port, is configured for a speed that exceeds 100 Mbps, the Ethernet link may not be established between the device and the module through the SERVICE port. You can configure the SERVICE port either online or offline. In port mirroring mode, the SERVICE port acts like a read-only port. That is, you cannot access devices (ping, connect to Control Expert, etc.) through the SERVICE port. Refer to Configuring the Service Port .
INTERLINK	1	The INTERLINK port provides connectivity to other Quantum EIO head modules on the local rack.
DEVICE NETWORK	2	These 2 copper ports provide: connections for distributed I/O communications cable redundancy via the daisy chain loop architecture
