English User Manual / Datasheet (Full Version)


1. General Information

140CRA31200C is a high‑performance Ethernet remote I/O (EIO) drop adapter for Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum PLC.
  • C suffix: Conformal coated PCB for humid, dusty, corrosive environments (oil & gas, water/wastewater, marine, food & beverage).

  • Function: Connects Quantum backplane to remote eX80 I/O stations via Ethernet/IP + Modbus TCP; acts as RIO drop (slave) in EIO architecture.

  • Compatibility: Works with 140CRP31200 (local head module) and eX80 I/O (remote drops).

  • Status: Mature standard product (non‑coated 140CRA31200 is phasing out; coated 31200C active).

Part Number: 140CRA31200C
Manufacturer: Schneider Electric
Platform: Modicon Quantum (3U single slot)
Module Type: EIO Remote I/O Drop Adapter (Ethernet/IP + Modbus TCP)
Ports: 3 × Ethernet RJ45 (1 × Service, 2 × Device Network for daisy‑chain/ring)
Power Supply: 24 VDC (20–30 VDC)
Form Factor: Single slot, standard Quantum backplane, hot‑swap capable
Weight: ~0.55 kg
Protection: Conformal coated (moisture/dust/chemical resistance)
Replacement: Non‑coated 140CRA31200 → BMECRA31210 (X80 platform)
