English Datasheet / User Manual (Full Version)


1. General Description

140CRA31908 is a high‑speed S908 RIO bridge module for Modicon M580 PLC, enabling seamless connection to legacy Quantum S908 remote I/O drops (140 CRA/CRA‑H series).
  • Function: Acts as a S908 RIO master from M580 backplane to old Quantum S908 drops (e.g., 140CRA21110, 140CRA31200).

  • Migration Key: Lets you keep existing S908 wiring & I/O while upgrading CPU to M580.

  • C counterpart: 140CRA31908C (conformal coated for harsh environments).

  • Form Factor: M580 single slot (X80 standard), hot‑swap capable.

  • Status: Active standard migration product.
