Status: In Stock

Product Overview

The Schneider Electric 140CRA31200 is a high-performance Ethernet Remote I/O (RIO) drop adaptor designed for the Modicon Quantum programmable automation controller (PAC) platform. This module serves as the communication gateway between a remote I/O sub-station and the main controller, enabling seamless data exchange over standard Ethernet networks . As an integral component of Schneider Electric’s Modicon Quantum range, the 140CRA31200 is engineered for process applications, high-availability systems, and safety solutions, providing a robust and scalable architecture for distributed automation .

The Schneider 140CRA31200 functions as an adaptor in remote I/O stations, collecting input data from field devices and publishing it to the remote I/O head adaptor, while also updating output modules with data received from the head adaptor . This deterministic data exchange utilizes the EtherNet/IP protocol, ensuring predictable scan times essential for real-time control applications . The 140CRA31200 is compatible with both the Modicon Quantum and Modicon M580 platforms when deployed as a remote I/O drop, offering flexibility for system upgrades and migrations . With its compact IP20-rated housing and support for harsh environmental conditions, the Schneider Electric 140CRA31200 delivers reliable performance in demanding industrial settings .
