PlantStruxure is a Schneider Electric program designed to address the key challenges of many different types of users, including plant managers, operations managers, engineers, maintenance teams, and operators, by delivering a system that is scalable, flexible, integrated, and collaborative.
This document presents one of the PlantStruxure features, using Ethernet as the backbone around the Quantum PLC offer and connecting a to Quantum and Modicon X80 and . This feature is known as Quantum Ethernet I/O or Quantum EIO. (NOTE: Modicon X80 is the generic name given to the M340 I/O modules when they are connected remotely to a Quantum controller or module in a PlantStruxure architecture. The M340 I/O name is still used when the module is connected to a M340 controller. The product references remains unchanged; only the range name changes.)
This guide provides detailed information about the Quantum EIO system, including the following:
-
Ethernet I/O networks (remote I/O and distributed I/O devices integrated on the same physical network)
-
topology rules and recommendations for choosing a network configuration
-
role of
-
system commissioning and maintenance
-
system performance and limitations
-
system diagnostics
