Description
The Schneider Electric 140CPS11420 is a power supply module specifically designed for the Modicon Quantum series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). PLCs are industrial computers used to automate various processes and machinery in factories, power plants, and other industrial settings.
Key Functionality:
- Provides a stable and reliable DC (Direct Current) power supply to the Modicon Quantum PLC.
- The DC voltage typically ranges from 24VDC to 48VDC, depending on the specific PLC model.
- Supplies sufficient current to power the PLC and its I/O modules (Input/Output modules used to interface with sensors and actuators).
Key Features:
- Input Voltage: Accepts a wide range of AC (Alternating Current) input voltage, typically 115VAC or 230VAC, for compatibility with different power grids.
- Summable or Standalone: Can be used either as a standalone power supply or combined with another 140CPS11420 unit to increase the total available current (summable operation). This allows for powering larger PLC configurations.
- End-of-Life Notice: It’s important to be aware that Schneider Electric may no longer be actively manufacturing or supporting the 140CPS11420.
Applications:
- Supplying power to Modicon Quantum PLCs used in various industrial automation applications, including:
- Factory automation: Controlling assembly lines, robots, and other production equipment.
- Building automation: Managing HVAC systems, lighting, and security systems.
- Power generation and distribution: Monitoring and controlling power plant equipment and managing power grids.
Finding Information:
Since the 140CPS11420 might be an older model, obtaining the original datasheet might be challenging. Here are some alternative resources for information:
