The Modicon Quantum Automation Series is a hardware reference guide for industrial automation systems launched by Schneider Electric, covering six core sections: system overview, module specifications, installation configuration, power grounding, wiring schemes, and fault codes. It provides detailed technical parameters (voltage/current/accuracy, etc.), LED indicator meanings, wiring diagrams, and configuration requirements for dozens of modules such as power supply, CPU, I/O (analog/discrete/bidirectional), fieldbus, etc. It also provides hardware installation space/torque standards, power grounding specifications, CableFast wiring system details, and fault troubleshooting methods. It is suitable for hardware selection, deployment, and maintenance in industrial automation control scenarios.

1-32 red corresponds to channel/point faults (overcurrent/disconnection)

Hardware Installation Specification

(1) Mechanical installation requirements

Backboard selection: Supports 2-16 slots, such as 140XBP01600 (16 slots, 7.2kg)

Installation space: A heat dissipation gap of ≥ 100mm is reserved above and below the module, and the side spacing is ≥ 25.4mm

Tightening torque: Module fixing screws 2-4 in lbs (0.23-0.45 Nm), terminal screws 10 in lbs (1.13 Nm)

Bracket requirements: 125mm (front rail)/20mm (rear rail) installation bracket

(2) Power and grounding specifications

Grounding requirements: Each backplane should be individually grounded (green/yellow wire), with a grounding resistance of ≤ 4 Ω

Power configuration: AC power supply needs to be grounded with neutral wire, DC power supply should avoid reverse connection

Redundant power supply: Redundant modules must be of the same model, with a total load of ≤ N-1 module capacity (N is the number of modules)

CE compliance: Both ends of the shielded cable are grounded, and a filter (such as Schaffner FvN670-3/06) is installed on the power side

CableFast cabling system

Fault diagnosis and maintenance

(1) Common types of faults and their solutions

Typical causes and solutions for fault phenomena

F LED is always on, disconnected/missing. On site power check wiring/power input

Channel no output overcurrent fuse/parameter error Replace fuse/reconfigure register

Communication interruption (Active light off) Bus looseness/address error check Bus connection/verify module address

(2) Maintenance points

Hot swappable: In addition to the power module, I/O modules can be plugged and unplugged with power on (the terminal block needs to be removed)

Parameter backup: configured through terminal panel or software backup module

Regular inspection: Check the wiring tightness, fuse status, and heat dissipation every 6 months
