140 NOE 771 ••
Quantum Ethernet communication module
NOTE: A Quantum local rack supports a maximum of 6 communication modules. While the 140 NOC 78• 00 head modules are designed specifically for a Quantum EIO system, you can use 140 NOE 771 •• modules and 140 NOM 2•2 00 modules to manage Ethernet distributed I/O and/or Modbus Plus systems.
NOTE: Only a 140 NOE 771 •• module can be connected to a 140 CRP 312 00 head module on the local rack. Do not connect a 140 NOC 771 •• module with the 140 CRP 312 00 head module on the local rack. A 140 NOC 771 •• module is used to connect distributed I/O clouds that are not a physical part of the remote I/O network.
NOTE: 140 NOC 771 •• modules are supported only in standalone systems; they are not supported in Hot Standby systems.

140 NRP 312 00/01
Quantum fiber converter module
NOTE: You can install 140 NRP 312 00/01 modules on the main ring and sub-rings for copper-to-fiber transitions. However, you cannot use these modules to connect sub-rings to the main ring.
NOTE:
  • Use 140 NRP 312 00 modules for multi-mode fiber cable (for distances less than 2 km).
  • Use 140 NRP 312 01 modules for single-mode fiber cable (for distances up to 15 km)).

NOTE: You can install BMX NRP 0200/01 modules on the main ring and sub-rings for copper-to-fiber transitions. However, you cannot use these modules to connect sub-rings to the main ring.
NOTE:
  • Use BMX NRP 0200 modules for multi-mode fiber cable (for distances less than 2 km).
  • Use BMX NRP 0201 modules for single-mode fiber cable (for distances up to 15 km).

NOTICE
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
  • Do not remove the protective covers from unused optical ports on the fiber converter module.
  • Cover unused Ethernet ports with dust plugs.
  • Do not unplug an SFP transceiver on the fiber port or insert third-party SFP transceivers in the fiber converter modules.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Dual-Ring Switches (DRS)
A DRS can be used to:
The graphic below is an example of a DRS. The numbers in the graphic refer to the ports on this DRS, which correspond to elements of predefined configurations you will download to the switch. Refer to the Predefined Configuration Files chapter for details.
NOTE: We strongly recommend you use the predefined DRS configurations. Since they are optimized to support 50 ms maximum recovery time, the system can recover within 50 ms from a communication disruption on the main ring or on a sub-ring. If you need to customize a configuration, contact your local Schneider Electric office before adapting a switch configuration for your system.
These 3 ConneXium extended managed switches are currently the only DRSs that are approved in a Quantum EIO system.
