Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is the 140DDO36400C compatible with all Quantum PLC racks?
   Yes, it is fully compatible with standard Modicon Quantum racks and supports hot-swapping.

2. What type of output signal does the module generate?
   It delivers 24 VDC sourcing (positive logic) discrete output signals.

3. How many outputs can be energized simultaneously?
   All 64 channels can be energized, provided the total current does not exceed 6.4 A.

4. Does this module support output diagnostics?
   Yes, each channel has an LED indicator, and the module monitors output faults.

5. Is there isolation between outputs and backplane?
   Yes, optical isolation protects the backplane and CPU from output faults.

6. Can this module handle inductive loads like relays or solenoids?
   Yes, but external protection (flyback diodes) is recommended for inductive devices.

7. Is the module suitable for fast control loops?
