The 140CRA93100 RIO drop adapter module from the Modicon Quantum series by Schneider Electric is one of their esteemed Green Premium products and is Mercury-free. It has 27 I/O expansion modules, making it flexible and adaptable to meet your needs. Specifically designed with extreme conditions in mind, this module expands your reach.

Features

A few key highlights for the 140CRA93100 include a single coaxial cable, bus current of 300 mA, and power dissipation of 3 W. This module also has an ATEX zone 2/22 certification, which consists of intense, thorough, and detailed testing and inspection process. Following these procedures, products like this one with this certification are also given a report outlining the results and confirming it has reached the set standard.

The 140CRA93100 has a LED feature at the top front of the module directly underneath the model number and model description. The LED feature will indicate a green light when the module passes power-up diagnostics. The Com Act LED indicates green  when the module is communicating on the RIO network.  There is a red fault LED indicating an inability to communicate with one or more I/O modules. The Error A LED indicates red for communication errors on channel A. Finally, Fault B LED indicates red in combination with Err A to indicate an invalid Node address.

Advantages

Regardless of the conditions you need to work in, this RIO drop adapter module can hold its own with extended operating temperatures between -13 and 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Furthermore, this coating provides protection and insulation from:

• Atmospheres with high levels of dust
• Corrosion due to chemical contact
• Condensation droplets or humidity

How to use a 140CRA93100

The remote I/O drop single channel module 140CRA93100 is used to transfer data between I/O modules installed in the same RIO drop backplane and the RIO head on the CPU backplane.  It transfers the data bi-directionally over a coaxial cable network.

These properties may be particularly useful for those working in oil refineries, purification plants, or in environments where halogens such as Chlorine might be present in substantial quantities.
