The Schneider Electric Schneider Electric 140CRA31200 serves as the interface head for remote I/O drops within a Modicon Quantum Ethernet/IP architecture. This module sits in a remote rack and facilitates bidirectional communication between the local I/O modules and the main 140CRP31200 head module (or CPU). By utilizing the industry-standard EtherNet/IP protocol, it provides high-speed, deterministic data exchange across distributed plant locations. We offer this unit as 100% Brand New original equipment.

The 140CRA31200 allows the Modicon Quantum platform to utilize standard EtherNet/IP infrastructure. This enables engineers to use common industrial switches and cabling, reducing the need for proprietary networking hardware.
Integrated LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the health of the drop and the network link. Technicians can quickly distinguish between a module internal fault and a physical network disconnection, minimizing downtime.
The module implements high-speed packet processing to maintain strict RPI (Requested Packet Interval) timings. This ensures that remote sensor data and actuator commands sync perfectly with the central CPU logic.
Designed for cabinet mounting in harsh environments, the module operates reliably up to 60°C. The internal shielding protects the EtherNet/IP signal from electromagnetic interference generated by nearby motor starters and drives.
The 140CRA31200 is a single-channel adapter, whereas the 140CRA31210 typically offers a dual-channel (daisy-chain) port configuration for redundant cable loops. Choose the 140CRA31200 for star topologies or simple point-to-point remote drops.
The 140CRA31200 draws its operating power directly from the Quantum backplane (750 mA from the 5V bus). Ensure the rack’s power supply (such as the 140CPS series) has sufficient capacity for the head module and all attached I/O modules.
You can set the IP address using the rotary switches located on the rear or side of the module for fixed addressing, or configure it via DHCP/BOOTP services within the Schneider Electric software environment, including Unity Pro and EcoStruxure Control Expert.
