Schneider 140NWM10000C Ethernet Network TCP/IP Module for Quantum

The Schneider 140NWM10000C connects Modicon Quantum PLCs to standard Ethernet networks. You can install this module directly into any standard Quantum rack slot. It enables high-speed data exchange with HMIs, SCADA systems, and other PLCs. This unit supports factory-wide automation and remote monitoring applications.

Technical Specifications and Hardware Layout

The Schneider 140NWM10000C measures 138 mm in height. Its width reaches 54 mm, and the depth equals 145 mm. The Schneider 140NWM10000C weighs approximately 0.36 kilograms. A single internal PCB holds all communication and processing circuits. The module contains no energy storage capacitors or batteries. One RJ45 port provides the 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet connection. A 48-pin edge connector interfaces directly with the Quantum backplane. Four status LEDs indicate power, link activity, and data traffic.

Communication Performance and Capabilities

The Schneider 140NWM10000C supports auto-negotiating 10 or 100 Mbit/s speeds. It handles up to 16 simultaneous client connections for data access. This module uses Modbus TCP for programming and HMI communication. Consequently, you can program the PLC remotely over the plant network. The module also supports email alerts for fault notifications. A built-in web server provides diagnostic pages for easy troubleshooting. The module supports DHCP or static IP addressing for flexible network integration.

Installation and Configuration Guidelines

You must insert the Schneider 140NWM10000C into any standard Quantum rack slot. Transitioning to configuration, assign an IP address using the PLC programming software. The module supports both DHCP and static IP addressing methods. Four front LEDs show power, link status, and Ethernet activity clearly. Use shielded Category 5e or higher cables for reliable communication. The operating temperature range spans from 0°C to 60°C reliably.
