Schneider Electric 140CBP01600 Modicon Quantum Backplane

Product Description

The Schneider Electric 140CBP01600 is a 16-slot backplane engineered for the Modicon Quantum PLC architecture. It functions as the core mechanical and electrical platform that interconnects processors, power supply modules, and I/O cards within a single Quantum rack.

Designed for medium to large control systems, 140CBP01600 provides a stable local bus for high-speed data exchange while distributing system power from the installed power supply to all mounted modules. Its rigid construction and standardized slot layout support long-term operation in demanding control rooms and plant environments. This backplane is commonly used to maintain or expand existing Quantum installations across process and discrete control applications.

Functional Role and Use Cases

Within a Modicon Quantum system, the 140CBP01600 backplane establishes the physical rack structure and ensures reliable communication between all installed modules. It is well suited for applications requiring dense I/O configurations, such as process control, power generation, oil and gas facilities, and large manufacturing lines where modular scalability is essential.
