Introduction
The Modicon
™
Quantum
™
Ethernet I/O automation platform provides an I/O
architecture solution over Ethernet.
Modicon Quantum Ethernet I/O solution includes:
Ethernet remote I/O (RIO) b
Ethernet distributed devices (DIO) b
CRP Ethernet head adaptor b
CRA Ethernet drop adaptor b
Three managed switches from the ConneXium b
™
offer (1) whose parameters can
be set using predened conguration les for immediate use
Numerous different architectures are possible, such as:
Ethernet RIO architectures with or without ConneXium managed switches b
Architectures with separate or combined Ethernet RIO and Ethernet DIO devices b
Hot Standby (HSBY) architectures b
This solution also includes numerous options and functions as standard, providing:
High process availability, with the option of connecting Ethernet RIO and Ethernet b
DIO in a daisy chain loop
Deterministic data exchanges between the PLC and the Ethernet RIO b
Remote service with a SERVICE port available on the CRP Ethernet head adaptor b
and CRA Ethernet drop adaptor
