Document Scope

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 Quantum local rack to Quantum and Modicon X80 remote I/O drops and distributed I/O devices. 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 describes these modules and their roles in a Quantum EIO system:

  • 140CRP31200: remote I/O head module on a Quantum local rack in a remote I/O main ring

  • 140CRA31200: remote I/O adapter module in a Quantum remote I/O drop

  • BMXCRA312•0: remote I/O adapter module in a Modicon X80 remote I/O drop

NOTE: The specific configuration settings contained in this guide are for instructional purposes only. The settings required for your specific application can be different from the examples presented in this guide.
NOTE: The architectures described in this document have been tested and validated in various scenarios. If you intend to use architectures different than the ones described in this document, test and validate them thoroughly before implementing.
