System Selection Considerations

Processor Selection

These processors (using SV3.1 or later) are compatible with Quantum EIO:

Quantum standalone processors	140 CPU 651 50
	140 CPU 651 60
	140 CPU 652 60
	140 CPU 658 60
Quantum Hot Standby processors	140 CPU 671 60
	140 CPU 672 60
	140 CPU 672 61
	140 CPU 678 61

NOTE: These processors can perform I/O scanning for distributed I/O devices that are connected to the as long as the 140CRP31200 remote I/O head module is interlinked with a 140NOC78000 distributed I/O head module on the . I/O scanning for is possible only if an I/O scanner is configured in each 140NOC78000 module on the local rack that manages those devices. I/O scanning used to manage distributed I/O devices that are connected to the remote I/O network cannot be used to manage isolated distributed I/O devices.

For more information on processors, refer to the Modicon Quantum Hot Standby System User Manual.

These processors are not compatible with Quantum EIO:

Quantum low-end processors	140 CPU 311 10
	140 CPU 434 12U
	140 CPU 534 14U
Quantum safety processors	140 CPU 651 60S
Quantum safety processors	140 CPU 671 60S

Module Selection

Local Rack

These modules can be installed in the local rack:

Reference	Maximum Number of Modules
140CRP31200	1
140 CRP 93• 00	1
140NOC78000	6 (see note below)
140NOC78100	1
140 NOE 771 ••	6 (see note below)
140 NOC 771 ••	6 (see note below)
140 NOM 2•2 00	6 (see note below)
NOTE: A local rack contains one 140CRP31200 remote I/O head module and a maximum of five 140NOC78000 distributed I/O head modules or other type of communication modules. You can install only one 140NOC78100 control head module. While the 140 NOC 78• 00 modules are designed specifically for a Quantum EIO system, you can use 140 NOE 771 ••, 140 NOC 771 ••, and 140 NOM 2•2 00 modules to manage Ethernet distributed I/O and/or Modbus Plus systems. Only one 140 NOE 771 •• module may participate in the remote I/O network. Only a 140 NOE 771 •• module can be interlinked with a 140CRP31200 module on the local rack. Do not interlink a 140 NOC 771 •• module with the 140CRP31200 module on the local rack. 140 NOC 771 •• modules are supported only in standalone systems; they are not supported in Hot Standby systems.

Ethernet I/O Drops

In addition to the one •••CRA312•0 adapter module you install in each remote I/O drop, you can use the following analog and digital I/O modules and intelligent/special purpose modules in remote I/O drops.

Displaying I/O Memory Consumption

In Control Expert you can monitor the I/O memory consumption by viewing the bus properties. Use one of these methods:

In the Project Browser, right-click Project → Configuration → EIO Bus → Properties.
In the Project Browser, right-click Project → Configuration → EIO [Quantum or Modicon X80] Drop → Properties.
In the background of the EIO Bus window, right-click Bus properties.
In the Edit menu, select Bus properties.

The IO-Memory screen looks like this:

Exceeding EIO Limitations

Control Expert displays a detected error in the log window if one of these events occurs:

The size of the EIO drop exceeds 1,400 input bytes or 1,400 output bytes.
The size of the EIO network exceeds 80% of the 32,768 input bytes or 80% of the 24,576 output bytes.

Minimum/Maximum System Channels

A global Quantum EIO configuration manages the following minimum and maximum channels
