140CPU65150C UNITY PROCESSOR 768 KB Schneider

The 140CPU65150 is a Unity processor in Schneider Electric’s Modicon Quantum series. It is one of the newer models in the series of processor modules. It joins together the standard functions of the PLC and the diagnostic possibilities of a web server. It communicates using an RJ-45 connection. The module is in a double-width standard Quantum housing which requires two sequential slots in a Quantum rack. Because its web server functions are diagnostic only, the software must be used to configure its services.

Features

It has a clock frequency of 166 Mhz and has two local racks. It has 63 distributed I/O stations, 1 rack, and 3 distributed networks. It has 8000 discrete inputs and outputs of discrete in a distributed network, and 31744 discrete inputs and inputs in a remote system. As far as application-specific I/O, it can be used for time stamping, as a counter, for high-speed interrupt inputs, and as a serial link.

6 optional modules can be used with the 140CPU65150. These include Ethernet, Modbus, Modbus Plus, Profibus DP, and Sy/Max. In a local AS interface, the module has an unlimited maximum number of connections. It also has 4 integrated connection types – Ethernet TCP/IP, Modbus, Modbus Plus, and USB. It has an expandable 8 MB of file storage, 7168 kB or expandable programming, and 768 kB of RAM. The 140CPU65150 uses a key switch memory port for on/off functionality.

The 140CPU65150 has a data rate of 10/100 Mbps. For a medium, a user should use a shielded twisted pair cable. The module has a number of services, including standard web service, Modbus TCP messaging, I/O scanning services, global data, FDR client, SNMP management, and SMTP services (email). It is compatible only with the Unity Pro software.

Advantages

The Schneider Electric 140CPU65150 Quantum CPU modules have a lens cover that carries protection for the three items inside. The key switch, battery, and reset button are located inside the lens cover. The lens cover opens by sliding it upwards.

It has a standard LCD with two lines and 16 characters. The contrast and backlight state is adjustable. Once the keypad driver detects a keypress, the backlight becomes active. The backlight also becomes active when the key switch stage is changed or when an error message is shown on the LCD. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the backlight automatically turns off. When an error message becomes visible, the backlight will stay on. The backlight will not turn off as long as the error message is displayed.

How to use the 140CPU65150

The keypad is used to access the mapped hardware address. There are five keys on the keypad. Two of the keys are LED arrow keys.

The yellow indication LED is controlled by the coprocessor hardware and indicates Ethernet activity.

The STS LED indicator is yellow and is controlled by the coprocessor software. It indicates several things. It is solid yellow when working normally. If it is not on, there is a possibility of a hardware problem. When the yellow STS light flashes, the number of flashes indicates the reason. One flash means the configuration is in progress; this is temporary. Two flashes mean an invalid MAC address, three flashes mean link not connected, four flashes indicate duplicate IP address, 5 flashes mean it is waiting for the IP address for the address server. Six flashes indicate an invalid IP address, and seven flashes indicate firmware incompatibility between PLC OS and Copro firmware.
