Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric 140XBP01600 is a 16-slot backplane rack purpose-built for the Modicon Quantum series of programmable automation controllers (PACs). It provides the physical and electrical backbone for large-scale automation systems by interconnecting various modules such as CPUs, power supplies, I/O modules, and communication adapters. Designed for high-performance industrial control, the 140XBP01600 excels in demanding environments where modularity, flexibility, and high I/O density are critical.

This model is the largest standard Quantum backplane offered by Schneider Electric, offering exceptional scalability and system integration capability for complex control architectures. Whether used in manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, or process industries, it supports mission-critical operations with unmatched reliability and expandability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What modules are compatible with the 140XBP01600 backplane?
   The 140XBP01600 supports all modules from the Modicon Quantum series, including CPUs, I/O modules, communication interfaces, and power supplies.

2. How many power supply modules can be installed on this backplane?
   The backplane has a dedicated slot for one power supply module. For redundancy, a second power supply can be used with an expansion or hot-standby configuration.

3. Can I operate the backplane in a vertical mounting orientation?
   While horizontal mounting is standard, vertical mounting is possible if proper airflow and environmental clearances are maintained.

4. Is there any specific grounding requirement during installation?
   Yes. Proper chassis grounding is essential. Use the grounding points provided on the backplane, and follow local electrical safety standards.

5. What is the maximum allowable cable length for I/O modules on this rack?
   I/O modules plug directly into the backplane, so there are no internal cable limitations. However, external sensor/actuator cable lengths must follow module specifications.

6. Does this backplane include any internal diagnostics?
   The backplane itself does not perform diagnostics, but it enables Quantum CPUs to detect and report module-level issues through the system bus.

7. Is hot swapping of modules supported on the 140XBP01600?
   No, Quantum modules are not hot-swappable. The system should be powered down before replacing any module to avoid damage or system faults.

8. What’s the typical lead time for this product if ordered from Schneider?
   Lead times can vary, but typically range between 2 to 6 weeks depending on stock availability and region. Always check with your authorized distributor.

9. Can the backplane operate in areas with high vibration or shock?
   Yes, but it should be installed in a properly rated enclosure. The product meets industry standards for vibration resistance when securely mounted.

10. How do I determine the slot numbering for module placement?
    Slot numbering starts from the left (next to the power supply slot) and increases toward the right. Each slot is labeled and must match the configuration used in your programming software.
