4. Installation

4.1 Pre-Installation

• ESD Protection: Wear anti-static wristband when handling the module.

• Inspection: Check for physical damage (cracks, bent pins).

• Rack Compatibility: Ensure Quantum rack is compatible (140 series).

4.2 Rack Mounting

1. Power off the PLC rack and all connected devices.

2. Align module with empty rack slot.

3. Slide module firmly into slot until it clicks into place.

4. Tighten side locking screw (torque: 0.8–1.0 N·m).

4.3 Fiber Cable Connection

1. Use 10BASE-FL compliant fiber cable (multi-mode, 62.5/125 μm).

2. Connect TX/RX pairs to PORT 1 (primary) or PORT 2 (secondary).

3. Ensure proper polarity (TX → RX, RX → TX).

4. Secure cables with cable ties to avoid strain.

5. Configuration

5.1 Software Requirements

• EcoStruxure Control Expert (v15.0 or later) or Concept (v2.5 or later).

5.2 Basic Configuration Steps

1. Open your PLC project in EcoStruxure Control Expert.

2. Navigate to the I/O Configuration tab and select the target rack slot.

3. Add the 140NOE35100 module from the hardware catalog.

4. Configure network parameters:

   • IP Address: Static (e.g., 192.168.1.50) or DHCP.

   • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (default).

   • Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (if required).

5. Enable communication protocols:

   • Modbus TCP: Set port (default: 502) and timeout.

   • SY/MAX: Enable peer-to-peer communication (requires network ID).

6. Download the configuration to the PLC.

7. Verify module status: RUN and LINK LEDs steady green.

5.3 Web Server Access

1. Open a web browser and enter the module’s IP address.

2. Log in with default credentials (user: admin, password: admin).

3. Access features:

   • Status: View module and network status.

   • Configuration: Modify IP, protocol, and advanced settings.

   • Diagnostics: Check Ethernet statistics, error logs, and connection status.

6. Operation

6.1 Normal Operation

• Power On: RUN LED flashes during self-test (5–10 seconds).

• Ready: READY LED steady green when diagnostics pass.

• Link: LINK LED steady green when fiber connection is active.

• Activity: ACT LED flashes with data transfer.

6.2 Communication Modes

• SY/MAX: High-speed peer-to-peer for Quantum PLCs (up to 32 nodes).

• Modbus TCP: Client/server for communication with third-party devices (scanners, HMIs, other PLCs).

7. Maintenance & Troubleshooting

7.1 Routine Maintenance

• Visual Inspection: Monthly check of LEDs, cables, and connectors.

• Firmware Update: Use EcoStruxure Control Expert to update firmware (check Schneider Electric website for latest version).

• Cleaning: Keep module and connectors free of dust/debris (use dry, lint-free cloth).

7.2 Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue 1: RUN LED Off

• Cause: No power or faulty backplane connection.

• Action: Check rack power supply; re-seat module; inspect backplane pins.

Issue 2: FAULT LED Steady Red

• Cause: Hardware failure or invalid configuration.

• Action: Check configuration for errors; reset module; replace if fault persists.

Issue 3: LINK LED Off

• Cause: Fiber cable fault, polarity error, or remote device offline.

• Action: Verify cable integrity; check TX/RX polarity; ensure remote device is powered and connected.

Issue 4: No Modbus TCP Communication

• Cause: Incorrect IP/port, network firewall, or slave device error.

• Action: Ping module IP; verify Modbus port (502) is open; check slave device status.

8. Safety & Compliance

Safety Precautions

• Qualified Personnel: Installation and maintenance must be performed by trained, certified technicians.

• Power Off: Always power off the rack before installing/removing modules.

• ESD Protection: Prevent static discharge to avoid component damage.

• Environmental Limits: Do not operate outside specified temperature/humidity ranges.

Compliance

• CE: Compliant with EU EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) and Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU).

• UL/c-UL: Listed for use in industrial control panels (UL 508).

• CSA: Certified for Canadian safety standards.

• RoHS: Compliant with Directive 2011/65/EU (restriction of hazardous substances).
