Ethernet Communication Modules | Schneider Electric 140NWM10000C
The 140NWM10000C is an Ethernet TCP/IP network module for Schneider Electric’s Modicon Quantum automation platform. Occupying a single standard rack slot, it establishes high-speed communication between Quantum PLCs and upper-tier HMIs, SCADA systems, or peer controllers. Integrated diagnostic features—including an onboard web server and event-driven email notifications—support efficient remote system monitoring and plant-wide industrial automation networks.
Hardware Interface and Mechanical Design
The module interfaces directly with the Modicon Quantum backplane via a 48-pin edge connector and features a single front-facing RJ45 port for 10/100 Mbit/s network connectivity. Four front-panel LEDs provide immediate local visual status for power, network link, and data activity. Mechanically housed in a 54 mm wide enclosure weighing 0.36 kg, the unit operates entirely on backplane power without internal energy storage capacitors or battery cells.
Communication Protocols and Processing Features
Supporting up to 16 simultaneous client connections, the module processes Modbus TCP data for remote PLC programming, control execution, and HMI integration. Operating across temperatures from 0 deg C to 60 deg C, it features auto-negotiating transmission speeds, selectable static IP or DHCP addressing, and embedded HTTP/FTP servers to streamline system diagnostics and file operations over standard plant networks.
