The 140ACI04000 is a 16-channel Analog Input (AI) module for the Modicon Quantum platform by Schneider Electric. It is designed to interface with field transmitters using 4–20 mA or 0–20 mA current loops, converting continuous process signals into digital data for the Quantum CPU.
With high-density input capability and strong measurement accuracy (±0.125% FS at 25°C), the module is well suited for monitoring critical variables such as pressure, temperature, level, and flow. Its 250 Ω input impedance ensures stable signal acquisition, even over long cable runs. The compact 16-channel format helps reduce cabinet space in large-scale automation systems.

The 140ACI04000 is commonly used in:
Chemical processing and refineries
Municipal wastewater treatment plants
Power generation facilities
Distributed pump stations and conveyor systems
It aggregates multiple transmitter signals into the Quantum CPU for PID control, trending, diagnostics, and alarm management, making it ideal for high-channel-count process monitoring.
Q1: Does this module support voltage inputs?
No. It is optimized for current (mA) inputs. For voltage signals (e.g., 0–10 V), the 140AVI series should be used.
Q2: Why does it require 17 words for 16 channels?
Sixteen words store the analog values, and one additional word provides module status and diagnostic information.
Q3: Is external power required for field transmitters?
Yes. The module measures loop current, but a separate 24 V DC supply is typically required to power the field devices.
