140XCP90000C

The 140XCP90000C is a backup battery holder module with conformal coating, designed for Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum PLC systems. It is the coated variant of the standard 140XCP90000, intended for use in severe, humid, or corrosive environments. The module accommodates a user‑supplied 3.6 V lithium battery to retain PLC RAM, real‑time clock, and application data during main power supply interruption. It is a passive rack‑mounted accessory with no I/O functionality.

Description

1. General Description

The 140XCP90000C is a backup battery holder module with conformal coating, designed for Schneider Electric Modicon Quantum PLC systems.

7. Installation and Battery Replacement

Module Installation
  1. Align the 140XCP90000C with an empty slot on the Quantum backplane.

  2. Push the module firmly until it clicks into place.

  3. Tighten the captive screw to 0.8–1.0 N·m.

Battery Insertion
  1. Slide open the front battery tray.

  2. Insert a 3.6 V lithium battery, observing polarity (positive terminal upward).

  3. Close the tray to engage the contacts.

Replacement Interval
  • Replace the battery every 5 years, or when the CPU indicates a low‑battery alarm.

  • Always replace the battery while the PLC is powered ON to prevent data loss.

8. Maintenance

  • Inspection: Every 6 months, check tray closure, contact condition, and coating integrity.

  • Cleaning: Wipe the front panel with a dry cloth; do not use solvents (may damage conformal coating).

  • Coating care: Avoid scratching or puncturing the PCB coating.

  • Disposal: Follow local regulations for lithium battery disposal.

9. Safety Instructions

  • Installation and replacement must be performed by qualified personnel.

  • Incorrect battery polarity may damage the module or CPU.

  • The conformal coating provides environmental protection only; do not modify or remove it.

  • Back up the PLC application program before replacing the battery.

10. Warranty

  • 12‑month manufacturer warranty (excludes user‑supplied battery; coating defects are covered).

Key Difference: 140XCP90000 vs 140XCP90000C

  • 140XCP90000: Standard, non‑coated version for clean, indoor environments.

  • 140XCP90000C: Conformal‑coated PCB for enhanced reliability in humid, dusty, or corrosive severe environments。
